Thanks so much, Sonja!By: Sonja
Top notch reading quality on this book. I found the narration particularly pleasant to listen to. I am delighted to hear that Scott has been busy recording another title.By: Scott
Thanks for the kind words, Peter. As far as doing more is concerned, I'm actually working on another one right now. Search right here on Podiobooks for my reading of Black Star Passes by John W. Campbell. Hope you enjoy that one as well. Cheers!
