Red Unicorn

In 1982 Buenos Aires, Vietnam veteran Amboy Stevens finds his quiet expatriate life shattered when he encounters a mysterious American woman with no memory of her past. Both marked by six fingers on each hand, they discover their meeting fulfills an ancient prophecy tied to a deadly mythological creature. As the Falklands War rages around them, the unlikely pair becomes the target of Nazi treasure hunters, occult practitioners, and supernatural forces all seeking to harness their combined power. Their journey takes them from the bustling streets of Argentina to remote islands where legends come alive and survival depends on embracing a destiny neither fully understands.

Ray Porter delivers a commanding performance that transforms Ochse's dark fantasy into a gripping audio experience. His weathered portrayal of the traumatized veteran contrasts beautifully with his nuanced handling of the enigmatic female lead, while his rendering of various antagonists brings menace and authenticity to each encounter. Porter's pacing builds tension methodically through quieter character moments before exploding into action sequences that crackle with energy. The narrator's ability to convey both the gritty realism of 1980s South America and the otherworldly horror of ancient magic makes this story particularly effective in audio format.
