Iambik Audiobooks just released two more science fiction/fantasy books and there are more about to make their debut very shortly. First up is
Last Dragon by J.M. McDermott and narrated by the talented
Cori Samuel. This from Jackie Cassada of
Library Journal: “A journey focused on revenge becomes an odyssey of self-discovery and
of the founding of an empire in blood and sacrifice. As Zhan searches
for her grandfather, a creature no longer human that has killed his
entire village, she travels in the company of Seth, a fire-breathing
shaman; Korinyes, a gypsy who is more than she seems; and Adel, a
paladin present at the slaying of the last dragon. McDermott’s debut
novel requires careful reading to piece together a story told in
nonlinear form, as mercurial as memories and as visceral as death. This
fantasy adventure belongs in libraries where literary fantasy in the
tradition of Gene Wolf, A.A. Attanasio, and Gabriel García Márquez is
popular.”
Second up is
Playing Solitaire and Other Stories by Mark Shainblum. This book is a double narration by the versatile
John Greenman and the lovely voice of
Elizabeth Klett. Three outstanding pieces of short fiction from award-winning science
fiction and fantasy author Mark Shainblum, collected for the first time. This collection includes "Playing Solitaire," "The Art of Solitude," and "The Break Inspector." "The Break Inspector" is an unofficial sequel to Mark Twain's "A Murder, a
Mystery and a Marriage," and a top-ten finalist in the International
Mark Twain Writing Competition, 2001.
