try http://www.podiobooks.com/ I believe the pockit and the pendent is supposed to be Harry potter esque, though I've  not read it yet myself. I also approve of Podiobooks because all there stuff is pod cast audio with human readers.

the Aforementioned darker projects is entirely free, and they have a pod cast audio drama adaptation of the first Falcon banner novel, which is what encouraged me to buy the books.

I don't think I would've done if I hadn't heard the adaptation, and I don't think I would've done if the price hadn't been so reasonable, ---- 2 pounds, (or about four dollars), a book.

Indeed, I heard the interview, though the section in the podcast currently reached is only the tip of the iceberg as far as royally messing up characters goes.

Another factor I really liked about the books, ---- which comes into play particularly later on, is that there isn't just one enemy side. There are a variety of players, who switch loyalties, and are out for their own ends, and often are just as much against each other as against the good guys.

Even in terms of good guys, there are people who will go to different lengths to attain goals.

My only worry in the series is that the author is going to spin things out too long and never finish. apparently there is a sixth book in the works entitled the black Prince, which I'm hoping will round things off (especially sinse some problems have now been dealt with by book 5), but we'll just have to see.

When I've finished this there's also the prequal novel, queen of ice which I've just bought, though I was saving that for when i finished the series.

Space science fiction, available as a free podcast but released very slowly. You can however buy them very inexpensively from Lulu as accessible PDFs. I read the whole of the first book that way, it worked quite nicely and was possibly even more fun than the podcast because of all the extra little detail.

Alright, I'm hooked. Hope I didn't hit the 12000 MB cap on wildblue. I grabbed while visiting family. If I understood, the useage thingy was around  50% before starting, but it started to slow down by the time I finished. on the other hand, the router has been acting up lately.

I've got the radio play, wich is around 535 MB. The why I downloaded it was do to the fact that I might be listening when the satalite is out for some reason, like during a storm. Are they following the same main characters? The whole space system sounds like it came out of Miriani. you know, like the jump drive and jump gates. The stario affects are good... I'm going to start the third show when I can so I can see who will get screwed next.

Hmmm, I thought the music at least was originally composed, and I certainly don't recognize any of it, ---- though I can't speak for the sounds.

The idea of jump gates etc has gone back to the 1960's I think, ---- possibly even earlier. Actually Scifi wise it wasn't until I read the novels that I found myself being particularly interested in the background and history of the series, sinse at face value things look fairly generic, ---- fallen empire, randomly evil alien race etc.

Likewise with the cast of characters, it's the fluidity of things in the series that keeps things interesting, nobody is safe, ---- and people who initially look like miner characters prove to become important etc, though the radio play has only just started in that respect, ---- but I'll shut up for fear of spoilage.

I admire your restraint, i read through the entire lot in two days when I started, ---- though admittedly there were only i believe 7 episodes at that thought.

I'm not sure who you mean by "A different guy" the cast stays the same as far as I can remember.

As to what the truth is behind Mat elias, ----- wait and see!

Pretty much, ---- but isn't that what makes a good story? ;D.

Actually the "darker" bit of darker projects isn't referring expressly to adult rated content, --- it's just a good name, snse at least a couple of their programs don't feature any such thing.

Tfb is definitely an adult story, ---- but not in a disgusting or overly explicite way, ---- the same goes for the novels.

Oh, and the writer himself is according to his own statement "very happy" to coin a phrase, ---- not that it matters.

I'm past the dragon fly stage. I'm going to liston to Episode five when I get the chance. Needless to say, I keep on thinking bad things are around the corner and as usual I'm half right. It's not if bad things will happon, but when. Mat will probbally rub off on his friend and I'm bound to see alot of next to imposible escapes.
Oh, it's the writers own choice although I may not aprove, wich might start a debate. If you are or are not won't keep me from liking you as a person, even though I may not like your choice if you get what I'm saying.
As for the darker part, I was thinking about the FB kindof being on the...

I'm actually not either, but I've had a few friends who are. Approving or disapproving would be a bit like approving or disapproving of someone being particularly tall, or having particular coloured hair or something else your just born with.

In fact I found the hole thing betwene Mat and darian rather sweet, ---- just as I would've if one of them had been female, but then again I'm a romantic.
