Kelley Armstrong – SFFaudio

Tantor Media has 45 different MP3 audiobooks at just $6.99 each

SFFaudio News

Tantor Media has 45 MP3 audiobooks on sale for $6.99 each. The complete list is below. We discovered this after finding out that the 35% discount code, posted about yesterday, didn’t work on Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles. The 35% off coupon code is only for titles that are regularly priced. But this is actually wonderful news as $6.99 is more than 65% off the regular price!

As you can see I’ve linked to the first three but if you see a title you like below that isn’t linked, do a search for it in the Tantor site, HERE. Some of the titles appear to have broken links when you do a search and then click directly on the Tantor Download button (like Terra Incognita) but that doesn’t mean you can’t get it. Click through on the title itself, then you should be able to see the “add to cart” beside where it says “audio download” and $6.99. This new MP3 download is new to Tantor and they’re still working out the kinks.

Noggle Stones
By Wil Radcliffe; Read by ?????
– STATUS: ?????????
In his tortured dreams, the mad goblin scholar, Bugbear, saw the coming war. Pride would crumble to dust. Glory would melt to tears. Wisdom would shatter to madness. And the shadows would reign supreme. Only an eldritch scroll, a humble bee, and Bugbear’s awkward human apprentice could win this desperate struggle… a conflict that began in a time now remembered only in faded parchments, fractured whispers, and a children’s rhyme…

AmerIndian 2192
by J. Scott Garibay; Read by Leanne Garibay
– STATUS: IN PRODUCTION
The story of two brothers, Wovoka and Keokuk, restoring the Native American people to a Homeland where their culture can thrive. Lodge ships, Cybershaman rituals and Tsimshian high technology are all elements in this action-oriented tale of interstellar Elder politics and personal struggles. Sounds something like the Kirniyaga series by Mike Resnick.
