Green Comet

The audiobook version of the novel Parasite Puppeteers is now available in an improved and remastered form. It is also available as a direct download from this site rather than by a link to the Internet Archive. The original version was not bad and it received many compliments from listeners who found my voice both professional and pleasant to listen to. This remaster benefits from a more strict adherence to the audio standards generally accepted in the audiobook industry. It has also been cleaned up and freed from some lingering glitches. The result is something that I’m proud to present to the world.

Please visit the Books for Free page and download the Parasite Puppeteers AUDIOBOOK in both MP3 and OGG Vorbis formats. They come with the individual chapters bound in ZIP archives.

I will be remastering the final book in the Green Comet trilogy as I find the time. Look for an improved audiobook of The Francesians in the coming months.

I’m working on remastering the audiobook of Parasite Puppeteers. When I originally made the recordings, I was working with very little knowledge of what was required. I thought that a clean recording that sounded good was all that was necessary. It turns out that there are certain things that have to meet specifications. The overall volume must fall between a couple of levels. The peak volume mustn’t exceed a set level. And even the silences between speech segments have to fall between a maximum and a minimum loudness. Most of the work I’m doing now has to do with replacing the silences I inserted then with an adequate amount of noise. Who knew?
