Mira, We have finally gotten it together to release the book in print and ebook format, so by February 2011, you will be able to purchase it. As for the sequel, we have no specific sequel planned - it would have to be set in the future and be something more along the lines of science fiction. It might happen someday, we just don't have an idea of it right now. However, we will be releasing another podiobook thriller this spring - about half normal novel length. And we'll have another full novel centering on the 12/21/2012 end of the world coming out sometime later in 2011. Mira and Aysha -

As for the sequel, we have no specific sequel planned – it would have to be set in the future and be something more along the lines of science fiction. It might happen someday, we just don’t have an idea of it right now. However, we will be releasing another podiobook thriller this spring – about half normal novel length. And we’ll have another full novel centering on the 12/21/2012 end of the world coming out sometime later in 2011.

Parts of it may have come off as a little cliche, but it was a story based around that, cliches and what ifs, so I was willing to forgive the small number that stood out to me. The dramatization was interesting, but the female was was a bit flat as some readers have pointed out. It did get better with other female characters, so I ascribe a certain portion of that to the character Veronica and less the actress. I'm really looking forward to a sequel to this audio novel given the way it ended (no spoilers here!).

The narration killed me and I couldn't finish the story, even after the narration got better. The narrator would have done the book a service, by not trying to dramatize and simply narrate.

I love the way how fact, fiction and what could have been, are mixed together. The male voices are good, I liked Saddam's and George H.W. Bush's voice very much, but the female voice was from time to time a bit out if feel with the person, or story. The story is a subtle way to tell the people there might be more behind the so-called 'conspiracy theories' than the media would have us believe. For me this is the second great story I find at podiobooks.com, thanks for all the hours of listening pleasure. And for Edward G. Talbot,... Congratulations with a story well written and thought out. I love the little links in the story to things as the Kennedy assasination, Roswell, new world order, Deep Underground Millitary Bases and other things pushed into the ridiculous by the corporate media. And I had no problem with the different times the story is going through, conspiracies have a habit of taking longer than the people involved live. The best of luck with your new book(s).

E.G. Talbot has created a powerful story that had me saying, “This could be real!” I enjoyed the characters, plot twists and the voices! I felt close to Carrie as a listener and I feared for Rachel. Great job! Thank you sincerely for putting it out there for free! Talk about a conspiracy!

Dave, we agree with you that the time jumping didn't work as well in audio form. We should have given more clues.The next book (out in Summer 2009 with luck) will pretty much be sequential after the first episode. We've gotten both very positive and very negative comments on the episode recaps, so we're still thinking that one through. Maybe an audio cue telling people where to fast forward to to bypass it, like the bookmark you suggest. Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Following is just some constructive criticism..I enjoyed the book overall. The jumping timeline was difficult to follow..this isn't a book you can just flip back a page..would be nice to have a few more clues about what time period were in. The woman who read the female parts did just that..read. It continuously took me out of the story and was difficult to differentiate between characters. Male voice was very good...loved his George HW Bush! Would be nice to have a bookmark to skip the "what happen last episode". Thanks for posting & good luck with future work!

Some of the accents were a little odd but I agree that the audio quality was good. The story is the main thing and that was really engaging. Certainly one of the better podcasts I've listened to.
