Best Served Cold
One of my favorite new authors is Joe Abercrombie. A few year ago, he published The First Law trilogy, a dark fantasy series, followed recently by Best Served Cold, a novel set I’m the First Law world. I picked up the first nook in the trilogy a few years ago in paperback and was immediately hooked. I do not read many books in print (though lots in audio), so this was a big deal for me.
As I wrote earlier, a while back, I contacted the author via his web site to suggest audio versions of his books. Abercrombie responded and followed up the request, but met with the usual red tape faced by authors. The decision to produce an audio version lies more with the publishers, though, but Abercrombie put in a request.
A few months ago, I heard the audio version was en route. Just a few days ago, Best Served Cold, Abercrombie’s latest, arrived on Audible.com’s virtual shelves. Yeah! Now I can finish reading it. I have the Kindle edition, but have not gotten past the first few chapters.
With the Kindle app on my iPod (set to the light-on-dark color scheme and to the giant font size), I can now test simultaneously reading and listening to the same book. I have tried this with different book with only limited success.
Thane again, Joe, for following through on this.
