Science Fiction
Click the arrow below to listen to the first episode of this free audio book:
In the Port of Call bar on Space Station Sidon a man sits at a card game. He’s ruthless, he’s unforgiving, and he almost never loses. His name is Alex Hart, and he is waiting for someone.
Reuben Briggs never could play nice with others. As a professor he couldn’t stay out of trouble. As the National Security Advisor he couldn’t resist using other people’s secrets to leverage his agenda. He always attracted the wrong kind of attention, and in 2125 that attention turned deadly. A Lunar judge wants his secrets, a corrupt senator wants him dead, the Green Lady wants his fealty, and Alex Hart wants to play cards with him.
Walking into the Port of Call, Briggs thinks he’s left all the bounty hunters behind him. But in the looking-glass world above the gravity well, he’s about to discover that survival, like poker, is just another sport.
And in this contest, it’s not whether you win or lose. It’s how you rig the game.

Hey all - Sorry for the delay in finishing the Podiobooks version (which has a lot of minor changes and audio sweetening in it compared to the version that originally podcast from my website. Due to the holidays and some related personal craziness, I inadvertently found myself swamped, but now - huzzah! - there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm going to have time to finish the touch-up work on the mixes and finish the Podiobooks version by the end of Feb at the latest, which means you'll start seeing batches of new episodes about ten days from now. Sorry for the delays! -Dan SawyerBy: Evo
Hi hope so, Dave. We rely on the authors to get their episodes to us. Try emailing the author directly and let's see if we can't get this one completed!By: Dave Andersen
Ping! I've noticed that the authors' website has the complete version of this book, but podiobooks is only up to episode nine (which, regrettably, I've caught up to. :). Is there a chance of podiobooks updates soon?
