While I'm pimping podcast novels, I would remiss if I did not mention the godfather of podcast novels, Scott Sigler. Scott Sigler is the master of sci-fi horror. He has, to date, released four novels into the podisphere: Earthcore, Ancestor, Infection, and currently The Rookie. Scott is famed with having the first podcast novel and has just recently gotten Earthcore and Ancestor into print (available from amazon, of course). Scott can weave an amazing tale. He has dubbed his listeners "junkies" because every episode leaves us wanting more like a crackhead looking for a fix.
Now I must be honest and say that sci-fi and horror are not my favorite genres. If I'm going to buy a book, it's usually romance, or fantasy, or some manner of non-fiction. But after hearing so many people rave about Scott's books on many different podcasts I simply had to check it out. And I was not disappointed. Scott has a way of telling a story that demands you pay attention. He is a force to be reckoned with. Scott Sigler is so entertaining as a person, I would probably listen to him read the phone book - it's just a bonus that he can tell such an amazing story.

Since I'm out of novels to read after THE ROOKIE, you have guessed correctly - I will be reading the phone book from May 24 through September 1. Episodically, of course!
