Customer Reviews
Bad men will be made small
The Defense is a delightful romp with a delightful group of women who share an ability to neutralize bad men. As in shrink them or make their hearts stop. Is it sci fi? A feminist utopia? A prophecy? Or just a really good time? It’s all of the above! Highly recommend this fun audio drama!.
