Continuing The Secret World Chronicle by Mercedes Lackey and Steve Libbey, this is Book Two: The Hunt:
The Hunt portrays the frenzied aftermath of the devastating Thule Society attacks. Famed fantasy and sci-fi author Mercedes Lackey and newcomer Steve Libbey have joined forces to create a superhero-themed braided novel podcast series called The Secret World Chronicle. The series depicts an ensemble cast of metahuman characters coping with worldwide attacks by a mysterious, technologically advanced Nazi secret society, and the ensuing chaos. The Secret World is a meeting ground for pulpy adventure and thoughtful science fiction speculation, where ordinary people are elevated above their fellow humans and must grapple with the consequences of their newfound abilities.

This has been great so far. Can’t wait for the next episode.

Boy, you sure are slacking on getting any new episodes out…….

Looks like the delay in new episodes (I was starting to wonder too, Me), is well explained here:

Good so far, but there seems to be quite a bit of time between episodes. Would be nice if there were a recap, at the beginning of the each episode.

Hey, maybe they are just taking a bit more time to edit out those kissy sounds. Just messing with ya, great podcast!

Those kissy sounds are for you wonderful fans. Smooch! Actually, we’re wrapping up “book two” in order to collate the entire series thus far into a print edition to be shopped. This is exciting for us, but may result in a few more delays as we sync the stories together. The final version will be even more compelling, and we’ll keep posting extra bits here on Podiobooks.

This is really a fantastic series!
The characterization is some of the best I’ve seen in audio or print.
I do jones a bit between episodes, but each episode is wonderful, free, and I’m sure a lot of work. I don’t think one can can complain about anything that is free, especially something of this quality.
Thank you guys so much for all of your hard work!

I am really enjoying this series, but why so long between updates? The last episode was posted back in March. I really hope the series hasn’t been discontinued, but if it has I would like to know that I can stop checking for updates.

Have no fear! We had to divert our attention to the print version in order to prepare it for publication, but we’ve got several episodes in the recording queue. The delay stems from the fact that several writers collaborate on the series, so there are times when schedules don’t match. Be patient with us and you’ll be rewarded!

I quit superheros back when spiderman donned blue and black for a season. The Secret World Chronicles (along with MLafferty’s Playing for Keeps) brought me back. I love this story. i live outside ATL so I keep wondering if I am going to bump into one of Tesla’s team. Still curious about these otherworld Nazis. The only character that is starting to bore me is Red Saviour jr. Enough with the one dimensional Marxist shtick - in fact she’s like a female Marxist spidey - always making pointed marxist aphorisms in the heat of battle. But then again, I am a libertarian capitalist.
Great stuff! Give us more!! (when you can…) -k

Whatever the reason for such an astounding delay between episodes — and I’m sure it was a good one — would it kill the producers to put a verbal update on the feed? Such a thing would take no coordination between actors/voices, and would do much to put the speculation to rest.

Hi Sheryl:
I’m afraid our good reason for the delay precludes recorded messages. A wayward hurricane hit Veronica’s Florida estate, on which SWC is recorded. The carpet in the studio room was ruined. Sans carpet, we can’t record, because the bare concrete reflects the sound too much. We could record a horrible sounding message, but what’s the point? Folks know to check here.
Thanks for caring about us though! The manuscript is in Veronica’s hands, and when Veronica and her husband are able to repair their house, the final few chapters will be recorded.

Great stories! This is a truly interesting universe with well developed characters! Thanks for the the great listen!
September 21st, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Wonderful story, when everything gets back on track I’m sure it will have been worth the wait! Here’s looking forward to the rest of the Secret World story =D
September 26th, 2008 at 8:26 am
really missing you guys, is there anything we can do to help get this podiobook back on track, even just a 10 min ending/cliffhanger with a notice that the rest of the story will be bundled into a new book… please
by the by loved listening while returning from my Hurricane Gustav Evacuation from new orleans, i drove two days back by myself with this a few other good books accompaning me, thanks

Sorry to hear about Veronica’s problems from Gustav. Love her reading of the stories and will continue to patiently wait.
By the way. Red Savior? Oh my god. She can preach communism to me any time she wants. Attitude, brains and the descriptions of her beauty? Oh my.
