Audible Frontiers let me know that narrator Dina Pearlman (Clementine: A Novel of the Clockwork Century, Ombria in Shadow, Polgara the Sorceress, and the Kris Longknife, Anna Strong, Vampire for Hire, and Weather Warden series, among other credits) will be narrating Tobias S. Buckell’s Arctic Rising, to be released concurrently with the Tor hardcover on Feb. 28:

“Global warming has transformed the Earth, and it’s about to get even hotter. The Arctic Ice Cap has all but melted, and the international

Listening report: January 2012

Posted on 2012-02-02 at 03:44 by Samuel Montgomery-Blinn

On the heels of three audiobooks in the last bit of December (The Thirteen Hallows by Michael Scott and Colette Freedman, Earthbound by Joe Haldeman, and The Lost Gate: Mithermages, Book 1 by Orson Scott Card) I listened to six audiobooks this month; not too bad. It’s more than I had planned for, but several of them are quite short, and none of them are 30-hour epics:

I have resisted doing many of these off-Tuesday release posts, but this one is a biggie for me: The Dread: Fallen Kings Cycle, Book 2 By Gail Z. Martin, Narrated by Kirby Heyborne for Tantor Audio:

“The Dread, Book Two of the Fallen Kings Cycle, picks up the adventures of Tris, Jonmarc, and the Winter Kingdoms gang immediately after the events in The Sworn. Summoner-King Tris Drayke takes what remains of his army north for a war he is ill-prepared to fight, as reports from spies confirm Tris’s worst fear

Release Week: Lost and Found, When Worlds Collide

Posted on 2012-02-01 at 13:40 by Samuel Montgomery-Blinn

A fairly quiet release week to end January, with the most interesting titles for me being previously released books.

The first is Lost and Found: The Taken Trilogy, Book 1 By Alan Dean Foster, Narrated by Oliver Wyman for Audible, Inc.:

Originally published in 2004 by Del Rey: “Not so long ago Marcus Walker was just another young commodities trader in Chicago, working hard and playing harder. But that’s all in the past, part of a life half forgotten-a reality that vanished when he was attacked while

Release Week Wednesday: The Curious Case(s) of Burton & Swinburne, Against the Light, KKR, PKD, and more

Posted on 2012-01-25 at 14:00 by Samuel Montgomery-Blinn

A fairly big release week is highlighted for me by the complete Burton and Swinburne series by Mark Hodder, narrated by Gerard Doyle for Audible Frontiers:

Out concurrently with the Pyr print release of Expedition to the Mountains of the Moon: Burton & Swinburne, Book 3, getting all three of these groundbreaking steampunk/sf books is a huge addition to the world of sf audiobooks. The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack: Burton & Swinburne, Book 1 (2010) was the first steampunk book to win the Philip K

Review: The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson

Posted on 2012-01-21 at 01:58 by Samuel Montgomery-Blinn

What: Mistborn: The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson, narrated by Michael Kramer for Macmillan Audio on 9 CDs, with bonus PDF of The Elendel Daily

How: Review copy requested from Macmillan Audio after seeing it as a loose-leaf late insert in their catalog.

Why: I’ve heard a lot of praise for Sanderson’s Mistborn novels and really enjoyed hearing him read from (and talk about) The Way of Kings in person in the fall of 2010, where I got a chance to talk to him a little and turned the event into an article
