@simon @SerenaTori Seiker is perhaps my favourite of his standalone works, tied up with Game Changer I think.

@simon @SerenaTori did you give any of the Douglas Richards a go?

@SerenaTori Not yet. I was on the first book of Only Villains Do That when we had this conversation and now I'm more than halfway through book 3, which is the last released audiobook. I tend to just stick with a series until I either need a break from it or finish it.

@simon @SerenaTori fair enough!
I started with his wired series. He gets quite formulaic, but there've been some cracking books.

@SerenaTori Oh. That's why I know that name! I think I got Wired from you many years ago. I have them in RTF format, modified November 2012, in a collection I basically forgot I still have because it's not at all maintained.

@simon @SerenaTori I don't think I'd have supplied an rtf, certainly not willingly! My epub is from 2011.

@SerenaTori Nah, you didn't supply it, you either told me about it or I got an epub and converted it because at the time I would have transferred it to the bookport. I had encoding issues converting to txt, so I usually chose rtf.

@simon @SerenaTori ha, now "that s" something I remember.
Still kinda miss hearing things with that synthesizer. If I ever got my hands on a nice monologue port that can output to wave I will absolutely have a go of a book with it again, just for old time's sake.

@SerenaTori You know you want to buy a tower, stick 4 doubletalks and 4 soundcards in it, patch them together and set up a script to convert books 4 chapters at a time.

@simon @SerenaTori hahaha. I've already got code to output 2 chapters at once in a single file by using the left and right stereo field. If I switch earbuds, repeating the file gives me different content.

@FreakyFwoof The joe ledger series of books is also fantastic.

@FreakyFwoof @jakobrosin Doug's done some brilliant books. They can get a bit ... out-there after a while when things go on a bit, like the 4th of the last series he put out is a bit over-the-top. But a goodly number of his earlier books are just edge-of-the-seat fantastic thrillers.
