Starting about Episode 20, used those clicks to mark spots that needed to be edited, then whoever was supposed to didn't go edit those spots. It's a bit disappointing, since otherwise the book is excellent, and I'm looking forward to the next book. The story is great, the reading is great — the editing was a bit lax.

I have been checking back off and on because these stories are just amazing. I'm about halfway done with this one and am eager to return to the Echo world. Can't wait to finish and get started on the third. I love the way the stories meld to create a whole. I can remember quite fondly the first book I ever read by Mercedes Lackey and happened upon The Bloodbaths before I found book one. Needless to say, the whole experience has been a treat for me.

Glad it finally finished. I hope that if there is a book three that it updates much faster than book two did. Thanks for getting the last two episodes out there though, future listeners will appreciate it. Wow I dropped this book months ago since it was so long since the last update.

I just read on The Secret World Chronicle website that Baen will publish the books, which is awesome! Great publisher. Definitely going to buy them when they're in print! Speaking of Baen, Mercedes Lackey has a bunch of free e-books posted on the Baen free library: http://www.baen.com/library/ I am hooked on these audio books!

I'm trying not to be inpatient as this is such a good and well told story and I know both Steve Libbey and Veronica Giguere have suffered real life setbacks during this work which has thrown the time scale off. Here's to hoping they can get it back on track and start to get the episodes out more frequently.

It's good, but it would be nice if, at the very least, the blog on the website would give us some idea WHY several months tend to pass before each short update. The first time I know of was explained and understandable, floods, destroyed/damaged equipment, and a hospital visit. But since then things are still ridiculously slow. Here's hoping this is a sign it's back on track for good. I hear you Dee, the updates have been frustratingly slow, to the point where I’ve never been sure if the book had been dropped or not.

Many well written books seem to suffer from less then ideal narration. This one does not, Veronica Giguere does an outstanding job. My only problem is that Evo Terra and implicitly J.C. Hutchins tries, and largely succeeds at ruining the experience, but I guess that is true for most books on podiobooks. <em>[Evo notes: Ding's passive-aggressive ending comment is in regards to a current inserted audio ad on the episodes of this and all other books currently on the site.

We're back in the swing of things. The print version of SWC is being reviewed by potential publishers, which is one of the reasons we were so late with the new episodes. Also Veronica had to repair her space post Gustav plus had a baby girl, I went through a few health issues, etc. It has been eventful! We're happy to be back on track, and grateful for the kind words. steve Hello everyone! We’re back in the swing of things.
