THE KRAKEN WAKES audiobook is a free download with my subscription on Audible, as are several other Wyndham novels. I’ll check it out.

Yup just found that myself when I went to get it on Kindle. Guess I'm doing the audiobook if I like the narrator.

davidpaintstuff.bsky.social•9 days ago

Enjoyed the episode. Not read that book so will grab it on Kindle.

You're not helping my reading backlog.

davidpaintstuff.bsky.social•11 days ago

Love sci fi. Will give it a go

Sold! Love TKW, it’s my favourite Wyndham.

emmanewman.bsky.social•11 days ago

Mine too!

It’s great, I enjoyed it a lot so thanks for putting it out.

It will be released on a monthly schedule, so if you want to read what we'll be discussing in Ep2, get hold of KJ Bishop's THE ETCHED CITY :) We have a Patreon too, and our 1st patrons only episode is an enthusiastic discussion of John Borman's Excalibur (1981) https://www.patreon.com/StarshipAlexandria

You have me at Excalibur! 🗡️

emmanewman.bsky.social•11 days ago

It's one of my comfort movies :)

emmanewman.bsky.social•11 days ago

Oh, please excuse the typo there! John Boorman, sorry! Anyway, if there's something you'd love to hear Adrian and I discuss, patrons on higher tiers can make suggestions and also name their own starship in the fleet. Fundamentally, it's a cosy, nerdy chat about books, films,comics and music we love.

As a bit of a slow reader, I appreciate the monthly schedule so I can do my best to keep up!

otterb.bsky.social•11 days ago

Will you have a transcript? This sounds good but listening doesn’t work as well for me as reading.

emmanewman.bsky.social•10 days ago

Will look into that once Eastercon is behind me.

Thank you

Yes, quite the classic!

Love all these SF podcasts popping up between this one and @alicefraser.bsky.social ‘s @realmsunknown.bsky.social I will never be without a book to read!

cyvonne.bsky.social•5 days ago

Unaccountably I had never read The Kraken Wakes. I have now, thank you for the prompt. Really enjoyed the podcast too.

emmanewman.bsky.social•5 days ago

I am so glad!
