Next Episode Of Firefly: Old Wounds Now Available

SFFaudio Online Audio

Firefly:Old WoundsI’m excited to let everyone know that the next installment of the fan audio Firefly:Old Wounds, has been posted and is awaiting every Browncoat’s eager ear! The response to the premiere a few weeks ago has been overwhelming.

Episode Two is called “All Alone in the Black”, and it picks up where we left off last episode.

Expect the following:
– More of Mal’s past is revealed with this stow-away named “Timber.”
– Simon continues to make a mess of things with Kaylee while the woman from his past, Derona, continues to play her cards close to her chest.
– All this and a classic styled sci-fi plot device that’s just a whole lot more than anyone’s bargained for.
-An interview with a few of the actors in the series, and more outtakes too!

Audiofy sells audiobooks on SD chips, which makes them instantly ready for many different devices, including my laptop and my Dell Pocket PC. A couple of their Star Trek titles are on their way to us for review, so I’ll let you all know how the experience is. But for now, they are offering a special on those Star Trek titles in honor of Trek’s 40th anniversary, so I wanted to make sure you all know about it. The titles are reprinted from Simon and Schuster – see SFFaudio’s Star Trek coverage here for more details on the titles. Enjoy!

KAMN #17: The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester

Online Audio

The Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas LogoI’ve been eagerly waiting for this one… The Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas latest podcast is up and ready for your consideration:

KAMN #17: The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester

Here’s the description…

“Summer, Joe and David tackle the first novel to win the Hugo Award, Alfred Bester’s The Demolished Man. The story is on the surface a pulp police procedural where a weary yet tenacious detective must catch a killer. What sets this story apart from typical pulp novels is the incorporation of telepaths and telepathy as integral necessities of society, for business and commerce, lifestyle quality, and for deterring crime.

The Demolished Man is generally recognized as the first novel to delve into telepaths and society, and many stories that followed, in both literature and television, borrowed heavily from the telepath behaviors Bester set up in this story.”
