  • Summary

  • If you drive past the lights of downtown Roswell, north on Route 285 into the darkness of the New Mexico desert, you'll run across a little radio station with a single tower. This is the home of WKLEN talk-radio, broadcast through Tower #57.

    Fresh out of the local community college and eager to start his career in radio production, Luther Stenson arrives for his first shift as an intern on Evening Sands, a late-night radio show focused on the unexplainable and broadcast throughout the lower forty-eight.

    Luther’s first night in radio quickly becomes one he’ll never forget, when a mysterious caller known only as "Magnolia" begins to interfere with the station’s broadcast. As the night progresses, Luther and the station crew are pushed to their psychological and emotional limits as they uncover a life-threatening secret and deal with forces beyond their control. The desert is lonely at night...

    In the city known for attracting millions to the uncanny, tonight the uncanny is attracted to the only light in the desert... The blinking red crown of Tower 57.

Fantastic story and performance

Overall a great listen. Had my attention the entire time and I couldn't stop listening. The story was well written and the acting was on point. Shame it had to end.

Mystery and Adventure of the Third Kind.

Tower 57 was a delight. I loved it, and even though the end was spectacular I never wanted it to end. I was involved with the characters immediately and felt like I was in the room. I'm keeping it in my library because I know I'll enjoy it again. Wonderful story and superb enactment. Thanks for the hours of pleasure.

Well acted, but not quite perfect.

The only reason for the 4 stars is that in numerous places throughout the story, it went in a direction that felt like it settled for being less than it could have been. The final twist wasn't the best choice, nor did it lead anywhere in a realistic manner, which killed the belief. And several "big speeches" weren't really anything impressive and could have been better written. The acting, however, was really good.
