Gil T. has spent a quarter of a century working in radio and has lots of spare time on his hands
and reading or listening to books takes up all that time. Check out his blog to find out what he's
up to at any given moment.
Directive 51 by John Barnes
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
The year is 2024 and many factions are tired of America's slothfulness and reliance upon technology. Terrorists,
both foreign and domestic, band together in a movement called Daybreak. They decide to attack the United States
all at the same time, threatening not only society's creature comforts, but the Constitution of the United States itself.
Carnival of Death by L. Ron Hubbard
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
Galaxy Audio takes L. Ron Hubbard's short stories that were published in various aviation, sports and pulp
magazines in the mid-1900's and creates a series of "audio pulps." These audiobooks are about two hours
in length and contain one or more short stories within a given genre. The production mixes subtle
sound effects, original music and an extremely talented cast of voice talent to create a cinematic
audio experience that provides the perfect audio escape from reality. This title
includes "The Carnival of Death" and "The Death Flyer."
Dog Blood by David Moody
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
In this sequel to Hater, recently infected Danny McCoyne continues the bloody kills to destroy the Unchanged
while also looking for his five year-old daughter, Ellis. After escaping from a camp where Haters are destined for
slaughter, Danny makes his way back to the city where his wife and daughter could be hiding/surviving. While Haters
act as vicious as any zombie from any zombie movie or story, they can think and they don't eat their victims -- well, not always.
The Tramp by L. Ron Hubbard
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
"The Tramp" was originally published in three parts in Astounding Science Fiction. Appearing
in the September, October and November issues during 1938, it is the only story in this audio
release. The action begins when a small-town sheriff shoots an escaping vagrant, Doughface Jack,
in the head. The local doctor works frantically to save Jack's life, relying on unconventional
surgery which involves sewing the two halves of Jack's brain together and replacing the top
of his skull with a silver bowl.
If I Were You by L. Ron Hubbard
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
This time out, the audiobook contains two stories. "If I Were You" was originally published in the February 1940
issue of Five-Novels Monthly and "The Last Drop" was originally published in Astonishing Stories, November 1941.
One of the key features of the Galaxy Audio releases is their super production quality. With original music, and subtle
yet effective sound effects, these audiobooks are like a great trip back to the days of radio dramas.
Dead Men Kill by L. Ron Hubbard
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
First published in 1934 in Thrilling Detective magazine, "Dead Men Kill" is a great zombie/detective
story. Galaxy Audio has released this novella as a pulp book and a pulp audiobook. The audiobook is produced with
the same fervor and nostalgia as all the other Hubbard audiobooks. The narrator keeps you in the story, performing
as a narrator from one of the old radio serials.
One Was Stubborn by L. Ron Hubbard
Multicast performance
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
Galaxy Audio has gathered all the short stories and novellas written by L. Ron Hubbard during the 30s through the 50s
and have been releasing them as audiobooks. There are also paperback "pulp" versions for those who prefer print rather
than audio. This audiobook is a collection of three stories from the golden age of pulp fiction.
The Demon Awakens by R.A. Salvatore
Multi-cast production
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
The story begins as the demon Dactyl awakens after spending an eon encased in stone. The sound effects used to
reflect his coming back to life are extremely well done and the audio engineers at GraphicAudio deserve lots of
credit for creating an attention-grabbing opening scene.

First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong by James Hansen
Narrated by Boyd Gaines
an audio review podcast by Susan Dunham
Forty years ago today, the Apollo 11 moon mission began its historic adventure. One of the best ways
to remember that time is listening to the first authorized biography of the one individual that will be
most associated with moon exploration. This review was recorded three years ago, but clips from NASA
and Armstrong family members make both the review and the audiobook timely reminders of a singular
moment in history that's well worth a listen.
Lamentation: The Psalms of Isaak by Ken Scholes
Narrated by Scott Brick, William Dufris, Maggi-Meg Reed & Stefan Rudnicki
an audio review podcast by Susan Dunman

story. Windwir, the most beautiful and powerful city on the planet, is also a storehouse
of knowledge. When Windwir is consumed by fire from the sky, those who remain must save what
knowledge is left while trying to discover the cause and instigator of the catastrophe.

an audio review podcast by Fred Greenhalgh

an audio review podcast by Fred Greenhalgh

Blue Moon Rising: Part 2 by Simon R. Green
an audio review podcast by Fred Greenhalgh
The second part of this three-part adaptation picks up right where the first installment ends, so

re-introduces us to Julia, who, as usual, is sticking her nose where no other princess would ever dare.
Blue Moon Rising: Part 1 by Simon R. Green
an audio review podcast by Fred Greenhalgh

princesses, unicorns and dragons, and knights and champions. But this adventure is anything but typical.

The Fuller Memorandum by Charles Stross
a book review podcast by Ernest Lilley
Besides the obvious and delightful spy-geek-Chuthluian horror cocktail that Charles Stross shakes together in his
Laundry series, there's a bit of Stargate to it, what with the openings of gates into
otherwhere and heroic types stepping through them. It has been that way since the beginning, when our man from the
Laundry, a geek turned applied demonologist and secret agent, stepped through a hole in space to rescue the damsel
in distress.

The Passage by Justin Cronin
an audio review podcast by Brian Price
Embraced by thousands of eager readers, this ambitious story takes on the usual subjects: science
and authority run amok, the sudden loss of 90 percent of the human race, and of course, the slow march back
to a good, clean America, circa 1952 or something. Narrator Edward Herrmann reads Justin Cronin's prose
with a wonderfully self-depreciating gravity and civility, but where is this story going?
Planet of Exile by Ursula K. Le Guin
an audio review podcast by Brian Price
In a far-distant future, the Earth-descendant Farborns have been trapped on the Planet Werel for over
10 local years (that translates to 600 Earth years). Winter is coming and this time the season may
be the harshest yet. The Earthers have made a rough home on this desolate planet, but they realize
that they will have to join with the indigenous nomadic hilf people to survive.

creepy ghost stories ever written.
