SUNSET OF FURMANKIND Chapter 6 - Flight of the Osprey Narrated by Fmily Probably the biggest complaint I've received about Sunset of Furmankind has been its overall length. A "typical" novel is around 120,000-160,000 words, but this one tops out at over 330,000 words! So ... I am now in the process of splitting this story into two books. Nothing in the story will be altered and the break will be transparent where the online and ebook versions are concerned. It's only the books in print that will change with the story split up between separate books.
I have already commissioned Liz Jackson for a new cover to go with the second printed volume and once that has been completed, I will make new editions of the printed books available. Also, the subtitle of "Furmankind II" on the cover of Second Chance will change as well, since that will then become the third book in the series. This trilogy will become known as "The Chronicles of Furmankind" with Book 1, 2 or 3 on the cover over the actual book titles. For those of you have already purchased print books of Sunset of Furmankind and Second Chance, there's no need to buy the new set (unless you just happen to want them). There will be no changes to the story itself on any of the volumes. — Now available in the Furmankind audio library:

SUNSET OF FURMANKIND Chapter 1 - A Crime of Passion Narrated by Fmily Fmily of YouTube has asked my permission to record an audiobook version of Sunset of Furmankind for his site. I would imagine this to be a tremendous undertaking since the printed book is 739 pages at over 331,000 words, but with experience doing gameplay commentary, he is confident he can put out a good audio recording of all 67 chapters of the story.
I once tried recording myself reading the opening chapter of the book, but I'm not a public speaker and thought the job I'd done on it was hideous. The first chapters should be on his YouTube channel soon, so I'll keep my digits crossed for his valiant effort. I will post links to the chapters as they are available. For those who have read Sunset of Furmankind, you may find this article of interest. This field of study was unknown to me when I wrote the book, but it seems there's nothing an author can make up that real science can't duplicate, at least in part. The science and purpose is not necessarily the same, but enough similiarities are there that made at least one of my Readers sit up and take notice. Thanks, Blake!
