Silver Empire is creating audio books for Saint Tommy, NYPD.
Yeah, so this is going to get fun.
The books are going to be narrated by Jon Mollison.
If you don't know who he is, he's the author of one of the upcoming superhero novels Silver Empire is working on -- Overlook.
For those of you who don't know Jon by voice, you can hear him in Vox Day's audio book The Irrational Atheist, books by Martin van Creveld, Chuck Dixon, and John C Wright's Somewither.
Or you could just click here and listen to Jon do a first pass on chapter one.
Now, yes, I know, there are some audio issues. But that's why it's the first run -- and why Silver Empire is hosting a kickstarter to produce the audio book.
Yes, a kickstarter. Here we go again.
But sound engineers cost money.
Audio book readers cost money.
(And really, do you want me to listen to me do an audio book for four hours? Or more? If you want an idea of what that's like, you can click here.)
But I recommend that you click here and just buy the audio book version, if you're into that sort of thing.
The first tier that gets you an audiobook is $15. Last time I checked, this was half the price of the cheapest audio book I've ever seen on audible, so it's a good deal. (Seriously, when did audio become so expensive? ...Says the man whose last audio book was on audio cassette or a free copy of Tom Stranger).
Right now, only Hell Spawn is being made... but even I don't know what the stretch goals are. If we break the barrier, I suspect that books 2-6 will be on the table.
Come on, who's on first?
