Just finished up Weber and Zahn's A Call to Arms. Book II of the Manticore Assent series. It's basically a Young Adult series. A read the book back when it first came out and just got around to the audiobook. It's a pretty good book and the reader is pretty good.
Just started on the next Weber Safehold book (#6), Midst Toil and Tribulation. Once again, I've read all the ebooks as they came out, but just getting around to listening to the audio books. This is a long one (28 hours), so it's going to take a while. I've been working from home for the last couple of months so my listening time has dropped quite a bit, as has my gas bill.
Weber's Safehold series suffers from that great bane of long series, different readers for different books. The first two were read by one of my favorite readers, Oliver Wyman. The next two by Jason Culp who wasn't bad, then the last book by Charles Keating, who was different, this book by Kevin Collins (so far, so good, though I just started) and the next two goes back to Oliver Wyman. The issue isn't so much that any of them were bad, but that they are all different with different voices.
My to be listened to list is so long now, I'm trying to hold off buying new audio books until I whittle the list down a bit, but I noticed that Tad Williams' The Dragonbone Chair, the first of his classic Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series just hit audio book. I've put it on my wish list.
