Ancient Rising - Rise of the Ancients Book 1 by JC De La Torre
Fantasy
Click the arrow below to listen to the first episode of this free audio book:
This book switches from human-based narration to computer synthesized narration starting on episode 12. This is not the case with the other books you will find on Podiobooks.com and is hopefully a temporary measure until the author can return to recording with his own human voice.
A widower is set off on an amazing adventure by a man claiming to be a God. Like Indiana Jones meets Clash of the Titans, follow Dan Ryan through Egypt, Greece, and the Mexican jungle as he unlocks the keys to finding the lost continent of Atlantis and the Gods that are imprisoned there.

Marco, Thanks so much for listening, I'm really glad you enjoyed the book. We'll definitely be fixing up Ancient Rising as soon as possible. As for Annuna being on audiobook, right now it's undecided. My focus right now is fixing Ancient Rising's podcast and finishing up my short story collection which was originally scheduled to be out in December but again...I've fallen behind my deadlines. If Annuna is going to be done, it's going to be completely pre-recorded (with real voices) before ever coming to podiobooks. It makes it easier for everyone that way. Thanks again!By: Marco
First off, let me say that I hope you'll rresolve the technical difficulties and re-record the last chapters, because the stilted voices really work hard to take away some of the joy of the story. Good thing the story's so good! It's a brililant twist on the Indiana Jones-theme! Congrats! (and will Annuna also be available as an audiobook? (doesn't have to be free, look at veinarmor.com - I'd happily pay the $3 for it - just make it available with some real-human's voices!)By: JC De La Torre
Hey gang, as promised the final episodes have been uploaded and are passing QC muster. Please note, it appears Episode 17 has shown up before Episode 16 due to some issues with Quality Control. If you don't want to lose your spot in the story, please wait until Episode 16 is released (should be today or tomorrow) before continuing on to Episode 17 and the rest.
