Posted on 2015-01-17 at 06:12 by Sam
Three thousand two hundred sixty-seven. That's how many science fiction and fantasy audiobooks were added to Audible.com's US listings alone in 2014, and the larger number of new speculative fiction audiobooks -- which include GraphicAudio, independent (for example The Maze of Games and Eric Flint's "Islands"), and other titles not available at Audible (for example Cory Doctorow's Homeland and Information Doesn't Want to Be Free), physical-only releases, podiobooks, and English-language audiobooks released

OCTOBER 23-29, 2013: An absolutely packed release week so I'll spare some of the usual dithering up here to make room. Briefly: new novels from Lavie Tidhar and Christopher Buehlman would be quite a week alone, but add a new novel from Mira Grant and bring Greg Egan's Zendegi to audio -- for starters -- and there's something for everyone this week. In the "also out this week" listings: Katabasis, continuing the Mongoliad saga (sans Neal Stephenson); Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens narrates Mary Shelley's Franke

Listening Report: May 2012
Posted on 2012-07-04 at 00:04 by Sam
April’s claim of 9 audiobooks was a bit of a “cheat”; I included the late Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 although I had actually read it in (very) early May. Here, things were going to again a bit stretched as it took a few days into June to finish the audiobook which took up most of my late May as well (Kim Stanley Robinson’s 2312) but hey, again, it’s my blog, I include what I want, when I want, right? So. Six audiobooks in May, several outstanding including J.M. McDermott’s Last Dragon, Lavie Tidhar’s Osa

Audiobook review: Osama by Lavie Tidhar
Posted on 2012-06-05 at 16:32 by Sam
Narrated by Jeff Harding for Audible Ltd
Length: 8 hrs and 27 mins
Release Date: 05-14-2012 [PS Publishing | Goodreads | Audible UK]
Review by Dave Thompson: “Life Isn’t a Pulp Novel”
Lavie Tidhar’s Osama is not an easy or light novel. However, it is a very thought provoking one, and I suspect it’s one that’s going to stay with me for a long time.
What if Osama bin Laden never existed? What if his acts of terror were confined solely to pulp novels, the kind that are published

Posted on 2012-05-30 at 02:09 by Sam
May goes out fairly quietly in terms of raw numbers, but there are still two audiobooks I am pretty excited about, led for me by No Going Back: Jon & Lobo, Book 5 By Mark L. Van Name, Narrated by Tom Stechschulte for Audible Frontiers. Out concurrently with its print and e-book release from Baen, the book continues the Jon and Lobo series, which came to audio in one giant gulp last month. “Jon and Lobo are back–and everything is about to change. If they both survive. Haunted by memories of children he could
