This week we are listening to another episode of the Canadian series, Nightfall! Our thanks to Ashley for recommending “Assassin Game” to us! Saul Rubinek stars in this rare science fiction story from the series. In the future year of 1994, the finest students at prestigious universities prove their competitive edge by playing a game of assassination. But as corporate influence begins to increase, the game grows truly deadly! Does this game foster excellence or ruthless ambition? Is this university nothing more than a corporate puppet? Would you like this jingle lodged in your head forever? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!
