Given that I’m now in the process of listening to his 3rd book (Infection) I thought it was time I put in a mention for Scott Sigler. He writes science-fiction thrillers (quite gory – you have been warned) and releases them as ‘podiobooks’, that is – audio books that are released as podcasts. He writes and performs them all himself, and the first 2, Earthcore and Ancestor, were brilliant. Infection looks like it’s going to be too, and once that’s done I should hopefully catch up with The Rookie before it finishes.
If you have a long commute (and a handy mp3 player) I thoroughly recommend you try them out. The first 2 are available at PodioBooks.com (also linked at the bottom of the sidebar) and the others can be found at http://scottsigler.podshow.com.
Oh, and there are lots of other Podiobooks at podiobooks.com, some of which I’ll be checking out, I’m sure.

I’m glad I’m not the only podiobooks.com fanatic
I’ve been listening to Scott Sigler since his first book (EarthCore) was out, and have been until recently (Currently I’m in a audio-less bubble until my new mp3 player arrives, after I killed my remaining iAudio in the rain).
I’m not sure if the quality of his work is being maintained; since he’s joined the podshow network, he seems to have upped his output of fiction, and the ending on his last novel (Infection) didn’t seem to be as well done as it could have been (although perhaps he’s leaving room for a sequel?)

Aha, I was wondering only a few days ago what the Podiobooks link at the bottom of the sidebar was, and who said Scott Sigler was.
