New Audiobooks from Iambik

Iambik Audiobooks has released a couple more new books along with new versions of two classics.  First up is Andy Nebula: Interstellar Rock Star by Edward Willett and narrated by the talented Justin S. Barrett. This is a book for young adults but it also falls into the science fiction category.  From John Wilson, Quill & Quire: "The action in Andy Nebula moves along at a cracking pace and the characters are well-drawn…Andy Nebula is fast and furious enough to keep even reluctant readers turning the pages, and young teen fans of fantasy and science fiction will not be disappointed.”

Next up is The Lamentations of Julius Marantz written by Marc Estrin and narrated by the versatile Anthony St. Pierre.   This is in the fiction category with themes of science, religion, history and satire.  From Publisher's Weekly: "Clubfooted, 60-something Cal Tech grad Julius Marantz is pursued by both the Central Intelligence Corporation and a corporate coalition known as GEKO in this Kafkaesque near-future mashup from Estrin (Insect Dreams: The Half-Life of Gregor Samsa). Julius’s crimes include having perfected a mechanism known as the Doodad, which, among other things, polarizes the water molecules in living beings and is used to create rapture-like experiences among the multitudes of India. ”

Now for our new versions of two classics.  We have the lovely voice of Cori Samuel reading the children's book The Railway Children by E. Nesbit.   "In this classic children's book by E. Nesbit, three children are suddenly uprooted from their happy suburban life to move to the country with their mother. Their new house, "Three Chimneys", is near a railway line, and Roberta (Bobbie), Peter and Phyllis (Phil), find amusement in watching the trains and waving to the passengers. They become friendly with Albert Perks, the station porter, and with the Old Gentleman who regularly takes the 9:15 down train. The children get involved in all kinds of good deeds, while their mother is busy writing children's books." - Iambik.

Last but certainly not least is another of my favorite English author's books, Under the Greenwood Tree by Thomas Hardy, voiced by our favorite Irishman, Tadhg Hynes.   "Under the Greenwood Tree or The Mellstock Quire: A Rural Painting of the Dutch School is a novel by Thomas Hardy, published anonymously in 1872. It was Hardy’s second published novel, the last to be printed without his name, and the first of his great series of Wessex novels."  - Iambik.


Iambik is undergoing a makeover of the website so, unfortunately, there are no audio samples to listen to for these books.  However, these are all seasoned narrators who have recorded for Iambik before and you can check out their voices on some of their other Iambik releases.  We hope to have our new website up some time in October.  As always, these books are on sale for $6.99 each and are available in mp3 and m4b formats.   

A Variety of New Releases from Iambik!

Once again, Iambik Audiobooks has been busily working behind the scenes.  Four new books are now up for sale in the categories of scifi/fantasy, young adult, crime and literature.  First up in the crime genre is Bound for Eternity by Sarah Wisseman and narrated by Priscilla Holbrook.   Disappearing artifacts, jealous colleagues, and dead bodies—who says a museum curator’s job is easy?  From Barbara D'Amato, Chicago author of the Cat Marsala series:  "Highly authentic, written by an archaeologist, BOUND FOR ETERNITY is a great read. The museum setting was both eerie and fascinating. I hope to see Lisa Donahue in many books to come."

Next up is a new addition to our science fiction/fantasy

collection.  The Land at the End of the Working Day, written by Peter Crowther and narrated by Robert Keiper, is actually a collection of four stories.  The title of the book is the name of a bar in Manhattan near New York's legendary Chelsea Hotel.  You'll meet the regulars at the bar along with some other characters who may wander in only once but they become another story.  Every one has a story, right?



 
Skulk by Marc Estrin and narrated by Anthony St. Pierre 

is our newest literary fiction book.   This is Marc Estrin's sixth critically acclaimed work of serious fiction.  From Peter Glassgold - author of Angel Max, Anarchy:  "Marc Estrin has his finger on the pulse of American madnesses. Contemplating 9/11 conspiracies would be no laughing matter except in the hands of a writer who once (INSECT DREAMS) resurrected and apotheosized Gregor Samsa's discarded insect carcass. Now in SKULK, this master satririst raises questions of our national (ir)realities to breathless heights. As they used to say, 'Right on!'"


Our last new offering is a new rendering of a children's classic.
Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper  is given the Irish

treatment by our own Tadhg Hynes.   Who better to give voice to Twain's first historical novel set in London? 

Head over to Iambik to listen to the full first chapters of these four and any of the other books in our catalog.  The books are all unabridged and priced at $6.99 each.  They are available in mp3 and m4b formats.
