			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are five free audiobooks by Nathan Lowell every sci-fi fan owes it to themselves to download:</p>
<p><a title="Quarter Share" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/quarter-share" target="_blank">Quarter Share</a></p>
<blockquote><p><em>A Trader&#8217;s Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper : Book 1</em><br />
When Ishmael Wang is orphaned by a flitter crash, he must make some hard decisions about how to survive in a Company-owned universe. With limited time and fewer options, he lands a job as the newest hand on the Solar Clipper Lois McKendrick and learns there&#8217;s more to life than making coffee. Join Ish, Pip, Big Bad Bev, and the rest of the Lois McKendrick&#8217;s crew as they sail the galaxy in search of profitable trade.</p></blockquote>
<p><a title="Half Share" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/half-share" target="_blank">Half Share</a></p>
<blockquote><p><em>A Trader&#8217;s Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper : Book 2</em><br />
After Ishmael Wang is promoted to the environmental section, he&#8217;s caught in a swirl of mystery, doubt, belief, lust and a really nice fitting pair of jeans. He has to come to grips with what it means to be a spacer while he&#8217;s still trying to figure out what it means to be a man. Join Ishmael, Brillo, Pip, and the rest of the crew of the Lois McKendrick as they help the newest member of the crew adjust to life in the Deep Dark.</p></blockquote>
<p><a title="Full Share" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/full-share" target="_blank">Full Share</a></p>
<blockquote><p><em>A Trader&#8217;s Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper : Book 3</em><br />
The Lois McKendrick runs headlong into trouble when a routine in-system transit goes bad. Ishmael and the rest of the crew must scramble to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it in order to keep the ship alive. Learn more about the officers and crew of the Lois McKendrick as they struggle to keep their ship and discover how Ishmael finds out how wrong he&#8217;s been about what it means to be a spacer in this latest Trader&#8217;s Tale.</p></blockquote>
<p><a title="Double Share" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/double-share" target="_blank">Double Share</a></p>
<blockquote><p><em>A Trader&#8217;s Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper : Book 4</em><br />
When he graduates from the Academy at Port Newmar, Ishmael Horatio Wang reports for duty in his first assignment as an officer. When he gets to his new ship, he finds things are not exactly the way he&#8217;d learned in school. The coffee tastes like used engine oil, the ship has no heart, and the nearest decent tailor is two quadrants away. What&#8217;s a new Third Mate to do? Will he be able to trust Billy?</p></blockquote>
<p><a title="Captains Share" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/captains-share" target="_blank">Captains Share</a></p>
<blockquote><p><em>A Trader&#8217;s Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper : Book 5</em><br />
A shuffling of cabins puts Ishmael Horatio Wang in command of the worst ship in the fleet. He learns that being Captain doesn&#8217;t make you infallible and that life in the Captain&#8217;s Cabin is filled with new kinds of challenge as he tries to keep the ship moving, the crew out of trouble, and turn a profit to earn his Captain&#8217;s Share. In a ship where the officers outnumber the crew, how can he manage to keep everybody happy? Welcome to the SC Agamemnon.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Podiobooks" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/index.php" target="_blank">Podiobooks</a> are <em>free</em> serialized audiobooks distributed as podcasts.  For more information on exactly what they are and how they work you should check out their <a title="Podiobooks FAQ" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/about.php" target="_blank">FAQ</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m calling this &#8220;Part 1&#8243; because I&#8217;m only listing Completed books, I haven&#8217;t listened to all of the <a title="Podiobooks" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/index.php" target="_blank">Podiobooks</a>, and because they add new content every day.  I&#8217;ve mentioned most of these before but I wanted to get them all together in one place.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Singularity" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/singularity" target="_blank">Singularity</a> </strong>by Bill DeSmedt &#8211; Science Fiction<em><br />
One of my all-time favorite books, a fictional exploration of the Tunguska explosion of 1908.  Great physics, great story.  This book has it all, and it&#8217;s a excellent production.</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="Doctor Jacks Soapbox Seminars" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/doctor-jacks-soapbox-seminars" target="_blank">Doctor Jack&#8217;s Soapbox Seminars</a></strong> <span>by John C. Adler, Ph.D., as told to Bill DeSmedt</span> &#8211; Non-Fiction<br />
<em>If you enjoy Singularity you should listen to this, too.  It will help you understand some of the physics of Singularity, and kill some time while you wait for Bill DeSmedt to finish Dualism.</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="Descent" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/7th-son-book-one---descent" target="_blank">7th Son: Book One &#8211; Descent</a> </strong>by J.C. Hutchins &#8211; Science Fiction<br />
<strong><a title="Deceit" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/7th-son-book-two---deceit" target="_blank">7th Son: Book Two &#8211; Deceit</a></strong> by J.C. Hutchins &#8211; Science Fiction<br />
<strong><a title="Destruction" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/7S3-Destruction" target="_blank">7th Son: Book Three &#8211; Destruction</a> </strong>by J. C. Hutchins &#8211; Science Fiction<br />
<em>This is one amazing trilogy. I&#8217;ve <a title="Me on 7th Son" href="http://blog.brianlinzy.com/2009/02/18/books/">ranted before</a> about how great it is, so I won&#8217;t go on and on again.  Just listen to it.  It moves at a frantic pace.</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="Infected" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/infected" target="_blank">Infected</a></strong> by Scott Sigler &#8211; Horror/Dark Fantasy<br />
<strong><a title="Contagious" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/contagious" target="_blank">Contagious</a> </strong>by Scott Sigler &#8211; Horror/Dark Fantasy<br />
<em>This is a really cool story. I listen to or read everything by Scott Sigler, which is pretty amazing because horror is not my thing.  I can&#8217;t wait for Pandemic!</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="Bloodcast 1" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/bloodcast-1" target="_blank">BloodCast, Season 1</a></strong> by Scott Sigler &#8211; Horror/Dark Fantasy<br />
<strong><a title="Bloodcast 2" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/bloodcast-2" target="_blank">BloodCast, Season 2</a></strong> by Scott Sigler &#8211; Horror/Dark Fantasy<br />
<em>Two collections of short stories by Scott Sigler.  Be sure to check out &#8220;Chuckles Mulrooney, Attorney for the Damned.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="The Rookie" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/the-rookie" target="_blank">The Rookie</a> </strong>by Scott Sigler &#8211; Science Fiction<br />
<em>I&#8217;m sorry to keep recommending books with forthcoming sequels, but after you listen to this story about football 700 years in the future you&#8217;re going to find yourself waiting for Sigler to release The Starter.</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="Earthcore" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/earthcore" target="_blank">Earthcore</a></strong> by Scott Sigler &#8211; Science Fiction<br />
<em>Mark your calendar for February of 2012, when Mt. Fitzroy, the follow-up to Earthcore comes out.  Okay, sorry, that&#8217;s the last time I&#8217;ll do that in this post.<br />
</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="Kronos" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/kronos" target="_blank">Kronos</a></strong> by Jeremy Robinson &#8211; Science Fiction<br />
<em>I thought I blogged about this but I can&#8217;t find an entry.  Any way, it&#8217;s a good story, even if a bit odd.</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="Number One With a Bullet" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/number-one-with-a-bullet" target="_blank">Number One with a Bullet</a></strong> by Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff &#8211; Fiction<br />
<em>A sort of modern-day Highlander story that I had a hard time taking seriously, but plenty of violence and a fairly interesting story kept me in it until the end.</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/down-and-out-in-the-magic-kingdom" target="_blank">Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom</a> </strong>- by Cory Doctorow &#8211; Science Fiction<br />
<em>If you like this (I did) you might want to check out <a title="Little Brother" href="http://craphound.com/littlebrother/download/" target="_blank">Little Brother</a>.  You can read it free in a bunch of different formats. The unabridged audio edition is $20.</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="Hunting Elf" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/hunting-elf" target="_blank">Hunting Elf</a></strong> by Dave Donelson &#8211; Humor<br />
<em>I mentioned this one here <a title="Hunting Elf" href="http://blog.brianlinzy.com/2009/06/30/space-trilogy-hunting-elf/">recently</a>.</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="Skeptoid" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/skeptoid" target="_blank">Skeptoid: Critical Analysis of Pop Phenomena</a> </strong>by Brian Dunning &#8211; Non-Fiction<a title="Skeptoid" href="http://skeptoid.com/" target="_blank"><br />
<em>Skeptoid</em></a><em> podcaster Brian Dunning explores topics from Bigfoot to bible codes.</em></p>
<p><strong><a title="The Silk Code" href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/the-silk-code" target="_blank">The Silk Code</a> </strong>by Paul Levinson &#8211; Science Fiction<br />
<em>This is quite a ride. It treats DNA the way Singularity handled physics.  Several interesting stories weave together. I&#8217;d like to see more from Paul Levinson.</em></p>
