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.   

Iambik releases 2 new audiobooks and their 3rd crime collection

Iambik Audiobooks released 2 new books to start off the Thanksgiving weekend along with their third crime collection.  The new releases include Endogamy Blues by Mark Shainblum and narrated by the popular and versatile Elizabeth Klett.  This one is science fiction -- "The neo-fascist armies of the Liberator have swept across the Americas like a plague. Montreal is in flames, and the front is less than a kilometre away.
Seventeen year-old Joanie Morgernstern can expect no mercy from the victors. As a Canadian soldier, an Augmented Human and a Jew, she is a blood enemy to the Liberator three times over, fit only for “purification.” Michael Cross, 16, a technician in the Army of the Iroquois Six Nations, is on the same hitlist. He expects nothing from the next few hours except death.
Instead, he finds Joanie."

This from one critic:  “Mark Shainblum does military SF intelligently and gracefully in 'Endogamy Blues.'” -- Paul Di Filippo, Asimov’s Science Fiction."

Next up is a classic of literary fiction.  The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy narrated by the lilting voice of Tadhg Hynes.  This is one of Hardy's most popular novels.

"With its deeply flawed heroine and its (for the time) open acknowledgement of illicit sexual relationships, The Return of the Native raised some eyebrows when it first appeared as a serial in Victorian Britain."  - Wikipedia

And, lastly, Iambik released "Crime Collection No.3" which includes five titles: One O'clock Jump by Lise McClendon, Sweet and Lowdown by Lise McClendon, The Stone Gallows by C. D. Ingram, Wild Turkey by Micheal Hemmingson and Blackbird Fly by Lise McClendon.
These books normally cost $6.99 each but Iambik is offering the collection of all five titles for $24.99.



Take some time during this holiday weekend to unwind with any of the above titles or whatever else piques your interest from Iambik.  As always, the books are $6.99 each and the first chapter of every book they sell is available for listening on their site.

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
