Received from Blackstone Audio, late July 2012 — I think they’re really dialing in on what I’m looking for:

• CHIMERA by T. C. McCarthy read by John Pruden (conclusion of McCarthy’s Subterrene War trilogy, just out simultaneous with the print/e-book from Orbit)
• HOW TO BUILD AN ANDROID by David F. Dufty read by Bronson Pinchot (non-fiction, the story of building and then losing the robotic head of Philip K. Dick, released in audio in early June simultaneous with the print/e-book from Henry Holt)
• GLORY ROAD by Robert A. Heinlein read by Bronson Pinchot (Heinlein’s 1963 fantasy novel, released in audio in late May)
