Release Day: Ian McDonald's Brasyl and River of Gods

Posted on 2012-06-21 at 18:37 by Sam

I don’t generally post releases outside of the “release week” posts, but it’s a pretty big day for audiobooks as Ian McDonald’s River of Gods (published 2004, winner of the BSFA Award, nominated for a Hugo, Arthur C. Clarke, and Locus, and here read by Jonathan Keeble) and Brasyl (published 2007, winner of the BSFA Award, nominated for a Hugo, Nebula, John W. Campbell, and Locus, and here read by Nigel Pilkington) were just released by Audible:

 

“Ian McDonald’s River of Gods painted a vivid picture of a near future India, 100 years after independence. It revolutionised British science fiction for a new generation by taking a perspective that was not European or American. Brasyl will do the same for South America’s largest and most vibrant country.”
