Merrano Of The Dry Country Approx. 58 Minutes [AUDIO DRAMA] Based on the story by Louis L’Amour
The master storyteller once again brings the Old West to life in this action-packed, full cast dramatization. Violence and prejudice are brewing in the drought-stricken land of Mirror Valley, where death turns friends into enemies and enemies into friends. From 1990.
Magic Tree House: Dinosaurs Before Dark (Magic Tree House, No. 1) by Mary Pope Osborne – Approx. 39 Minutes [UNABRIDGED]
Where did the tree house come from? Before Jack and Annie can find out, the mysterious tree house whisks them back to the prehistoric past. Now they have to figure out how to get home. Can they do it before dark, or will they become a dinosaur’s dinner? From 1992.
Percy Jackson And The Sword of Hades by Rick Riordan – Approx. 77 Minutes [UNABRIDGED]
First published in a back to back paperbook version for World Book Day in the UK. This short novella takes place between Books 4 and 5 of the Percy Jackson series. As far as I can tell this is its fist audiobook release.

Hey folks! You’ll be pleased to hear that I’ve added two new sections to our AUTHOR PAGES.
First up is STANLEY G. WEINBAUM. When alive, the man only sold fiction for 18 months. And, he’s been dead for nearly 75 years – but his influence on Science Fiction was immensely impactful. His first story, A Martian Odyssey, was selected by the SFWA for inclusion in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame Volume One, 1929-1964. That story’s available BTW. And here are the HuffDuffer feeds for that page:

Also new in the AUTHOR PAGES section is a complete (and way too small) audiography of PHILIP JOSE FARMER! Thankfully the little that is listed does include one FREE novel, the first novel completed in our original SFFaudio Challenge. There’s no need for a HuffDuffer feed for poor old FARMER because The Green Odyssey already has one.

And here are details from the first of Decoder Ring Summer Showcase #3‘s program…
The man behind this production, Bill Cunningham, says that “The Knightmare is a hero cut from the same cloth as The Shadow or The Green Hornet.” Not unlike Decoder Ring’s Red Panda himself! In this 2-part episode, The Knightmare is fighting Hollywood gangsters, Hollywood cops and Nazis (probably not from Hollywood). Unlike RP this story is set in Los Angeles.
The Knightmare (The Murder Legion Strikes at Midnight)
By Bill Cunningham; Performed by a full cast
2 Parts – [AUDIO DRAMA]
Podcaster: Decoder Ring Theatre
Podcast: May 30th, 2009 & June 6th, 2009
