Running through February 19, Audible.com’s Begin at the Beginning sale on first books in a series includes 206 books all priced at $4.95. Now, 206 titles is a pretty long list. Here’s what caught my eye, with covers and “PICK:” notations for the ones I really recommend, which include Scott Westerfeld’s Leviathan, Gene Wolfe’s Shadow of the Torturer, Mira Grant’s Feed, Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim, Paolo Bacigalupi’s Shipbreaker, Tad Williams’ The Dirty Streets of Heaven, and Michael J. Sullivan’s The Crown Tower, among others. Enjoy!
