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!
