Sly Mongoose: now with 100% more audio goodness

Sly Mongoose is on sale via Audible.com for a promo price of $12.57 right now.

Also available via iTunes Store if you just type my name in, which is pretty cool.

Jonathan Davis, a young New York actor, cut his (audiobook) teeth on the dynamic storytelling of science fiction audio programs, but in four years he has expanded into several genres. His 2001 narration of Neal Stephenson’s SNOW CRASH opened the door to more than a dozen Star Wars titles including those from the films’ saga as well as the Jedi Quest and New Jedi Order series. His youthful, expressive style has served him well with young adult titles such as SHOOTING MONARCHS and AMONG THE HIDDEN. Recently Jonathan’s skill with languages—he grew up in Puerto Rico and speaks Spanish, Portuguese, and Hebrew—has brought the opportunity to do Chaim Potok’s THE CHOSEN, and THE SHADOW OF THE WIND by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.

Must’ve missed the promo price, but I just downloaded it. Sounds great!

here’s the direct link to your iTunes book (control-click or right-click on a title in iTunes, you’ll have the option to “Copy iTunes Store URL.”
There’s no audio version of Ragamuffin, is there? I didn’t get to start it before my head injury, and audio’s still the only way I can focus on prose fiction.

Sounds like they picked a good reader–I was wondering about that.

Oh and Davis’s Snow Crash narration is indeed amazing.

D. Robert, glad you’re liking it!
Alex, they snagged the rights for Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin, but got Sly produced first. Not sure if/when the other two get treatment. Seeing as they purchased them, I have to assume they will LOL.

Oddly, on iTunes Sly Mongoose is listed as “nonfiction,” which honestly chills me to my very core.
