YouTube – Parasite Puppeteers – Introduction

With today’s reading we begin the novel Parasite Puppeteers, the second book in the Green Comet trilogy.

Several thousand years after the end of the first book, Elgin and Frances and their friends are brought out of deep hibernation. In this brief first chapter we see them leaving their hibernation world and ascending toward their life on the comet.

Just the introduction and a short chapter to ease us into it and to get reaquainted with the flavor of the trilogy.

It shouldn’t be necessary to have read Green Comet to appreciate Parasite Puppeteers. You might want to if reading things in order is important to you, but this book works well as a standalone. Of course, this book will provide spoilers if you want to go back and read Green Comet later, so keep that in mind if it would be a worry for you.

Next Up on YouTube – Parasite Puppeteers

Now that I have uploaded the last story from the Quantum Shorts anthology to YouTube, I have to move on to something new. I have Quantum Shorts Volume 2, but I haven’t recorded it yet, so I’m going to upload Parasite Puppeteers, the second book in the Green Comet trilogy.

I’m planning on using the same format as I used for Quantum Shorts: a brief video introduction and the audio for each chapter. Please let me know what you think of this in the comments below this post.
