Next Monday’s going to be wild. I have two books coming out, each related to massively popular universes: Avengers: The Battle Against Ultron and Halo: New Blood. Oddly, the formats for these run the gamut.
Battle for Ultron – which is based on the Avengers comics and meant for young readers, five and up – will be available only in print, but in both hardcover and softcover editions. New Blood, on the other hand, will only be available in electronic format. Simon & Schuster announced the ebook a while back, but they quietly slipped in an audiobook version too while no one was looking.
The audiobook is narrated by Scott Brick, who’s a legend in the voiceover business. He’s provided the narration for dozens of fantastic novels, including Dune, The Bourne Identity, Patriot Games, Mystic River, The Martian Chronicles, Moneyball, The Firm, How to Survive a Sharknado, Metatropolis, The Heist, A Princess of Mars, and even Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. In short, the man reads great books well.
The audiobook will be available through iTunes, Audible/Amazon, and all the rest of the usual suspects.
So this Monday, get ready to listen up, tap your screen, or flip through actual pages and join me for a couple of very different books, each fun in their own wonderful ways.
