Posted on 2012-01-25 at 14:00 by Sam
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

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

Release Week Wednesday: The Flame Alphabet, Shadows in Flight, and The Coldest War
Posted on 2012-01-18 at 19:00 by Sam
For this release week (Tuesday, Jan 17) my top audiobook picks are The Flame Alphabet by Ben Marcus and Shadows in Flight by Orson Scott Card, along with The Coldest War by Ian Tregillis.
The Flame Alphabet by Ben Marcus is out from Recorded Books (Knopf, Jan 17, 2012) — a story of a world where the voices of children become lethal to their parents, and a boy who sets out in search of a cure. I’m not that impressed by the audiobook cover:
So here is the book cover as well:

Audio Bibiliophile reviews The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor by Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga
Posted on 2012-01-17 at 20:08 by Sam
“Now I seem to be a sucker for a good zombie book, and I like to think that I know good ones from bad. The Walking Dead: Rise of The Governor is a good one, I mean great one, possibly one of the best zombie stories I have ever listened to. Pure, unadulterated, original, breathtaking and enough surprises to keep you guessing.”

Link: Neil Gaiman: ACX - if you're a writer, an actor, a producer
I thought I’d remind those of you on Tumblr who are writers, producers or actors (and that smaller group of you who are “rights holders”) that ACX - Audiobook Creation Exchange - is a wonderful thing, and it works.
Here’s the press-release type anouncement we did when it went live: …
