That's great, Jay, I really appreciate it. And speaking as someone who's read FATAL REVENANT twice now (once to prep, once out loud), I think you'll dig it.
Best,
Scott
Are you a storyteller, Thomas Covenant?
I was, once.
And you gave it up? Ah, that is as sad a tale in three words as any you might have told me. But a life without a tale is like a sea without salt. How do you live?
I live.
Another? In two words, a story sadder than the first. Say no more -- with one word you will make me weep.

Welcome to The Watch Scott, the first two Chronicles have been needing an official audio release for far too long a time, good job getting this thing rolling....great job on Runes, I'm looking forward to hearing your Giantish voices when you do the first two chronicles...

Giantish voices...! Talk about a challenge. In my head I'd always heard them as this deep bass rumble, but then I reread LORD FOUL'S BANE and saw Foamfollower's voice described as... get read for this... a gentle falsetto.
Oy. That ain't me, folks. My voice isn't anywhere close to a falsetto, so hopefully everyone will be using their imagination on that one.
Best,
Scott

LOL....I'm hoping SRD meant a falsetto for a Giant I cant picture Foamfollower with a high fluting voice like the Unfettered of Glimmermere, NOOOO... hehe, well maybe when he got waist deep in Hotash Slay Im sure you will nail it, and im glad your voice doesnt do falsetto, good luck man...I dont think you will have any problems.

Man. Awesome news! So thanks for that AudioCov. I don't listen to books on tape, but there are plenty of my local friends who do! They'll be plenty excited.

Thats one thing I was just thinking about,the reading speed.Scott reads at a more moderate pace then some of the many other narrators I have heard do parts of this series over the years.
I think I prefer the pace Scott took it at with LFB.Cant wait to hear more !
and buy it as well !
The first chapter's almost enough to make me buy an audio book. To this day, the only one I've been able to get through was Capote's In Cold Blood (don't know who the narrator was). Scott sounds like Sideshow Bob minus the ham factor.
I really enjoyed the pacing. The cadence is very suited to how it 'sounds' in my head. The accent (not sure that's the right word... inflection, perhaps) is just enough to maintain interest, never taking away from the story itself.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

OK, I laughed at that one! For some reason that just got me tickled. But, it is spot on, which is why its so funny.

Lest we forget (and this thread disappears as time passes), I've added a link to Scott's site at the bottom of the main page. I think it's fitting that we support those who share our fandom
Im sure you will nail it, and im glad your voice doesnt do falsetto, good luck man...I dont think you will have any problems.
I've just listened to the LFB preview! Nothing like a bit of Scott Brick in the morning.
