Theodore Isaac Erski has made available another coffee-inspired tale. And by that I don’t mean he used the potent brew to furiously crank out the words or the audio files. Well, he may have. But what I mean to say is that his latest serialized audiobook, A Coffee Crusade, is now available for your listening pleasure.
Bridget Hall is a driven & successful entrepreneur running a non-profit company named the Coffee Exchange Alliance. She’s working to establish a fair-trade business presence on the Caribbean island of Salavandra, but must overcome the corrupt Minister of Agriculture, Rafael Gallegos, who profits by marginalizing the island’s farmers and smuggling their coffee to Jamaica. Bridget tackles personal & professional challenges on Salavandra that ultimately shake her belief in the choices she’s made in life as well as in her self-appointed role as savior of the island’s coffee farmers.
Ted has released all of the episode at once. So it’s your choice to handle the downloads yourself with the default RSS feed, or to let our system send you episodes periodically, keeping your MP3 player of choice not filled to the brim. A little coffee humor there, if you’re old enough to recall.

This book is excellently written and I like the narration & music. Together with its prequel it is however one of the most depressing and disturbing podiobooks I’ve ever listened to. I am not sure if the author is doing fair-trade efforts a favor by conveying a picture of complete hopelessness regarding the improvement of the situation of coffee farmers. And I’d like to think that that would be the intention of someone writing books in this area.

I’m in favor of teaching through writing but this book seems to take lengthy time-outs to just preach. Teach us THROUGH the story.
