Audible's December Frontiers offerings include Hugo and Nebula winners

By Ian Randal Strock

Audible.com's Steve Feldberg writes to tell us of the December releases in their Audible Frontiers sf/f line.

Currently available, they have Gregory Frost's two-volume series consisting of Shadowbridge and Lord Tophet, which include "exclusive introductions by the author." They also have Elizabeth Moon's Nebula-winner The Speed of Dark and Vernor Vinge's Hugo-winning novelette "Fast Times at Fairmont High", as well as Kim Stanley Robinson's "Science in the Capital" trilogy (again, with introductions by the author): "Forty Signs of Rain", "Fifty Degrees Below", and "Sixty Days and Counting."

Posting on 16 December will be the audiobook of Mike Resnick's Starship: Rebel, which will be a simultaneous release with the paper version (again, with an exclusive author introduction).

On 23 December, they'll have "two classic titles by Dan Simmons [on] unabridged audio for the first time: Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion." The former won the Hugo, the latter was nominated for both the Hugo and the Nebula. Feldberg writes "I'm especially excited by our multi-voice production on Hyperion, which utilizes five different narrators. If you're familiar with the book's structure—akin to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales—you'll know that it lends itself to a number of distinct voices."
