The Hour of the Dragon

Chapter 22 - The Road to Acheron.At long last the closing chapter of The Hour of the Dragon, Robert E. Howard's only novel featuring his best known character Conan. Get it while it lasts! I'm planning on redoing the first three chapters for continuity and when I do, I'll be packaging the whole thing together and selling it (for a very modest price) on Itunes (or something similar). Thanks for listening while I got it done. There will be a special extra Conan story in the finished package, so if you like the story, think about supporting me by buying the finished audiobook when it comes out - you'll be helping me bring you more Conan stories...Morgan

Well, it's been almost a month since my last upload and I apologize. No real excuses, just this, that and the other as I settle in to my new place...There are a few tiny little edit problems and I will upload a slightly cleaner version later this week, but it's good to go and I thought, "Why keep people waiting?".I hope you enjoy!

Hey Folks,Well, here we go with Chapter VIII. It's been a rough couple of weeks. Our landlord decided to move back into our house, so we got two months notice on the marching orders. After a few false starts, we found a new place, really nice, in a neighborhood I like- a friendly local pub, a decent cafe, and a short walk to the action of Sydney Rd. On top of that, the house is on a quarter acre block, of which very few still exist in this part of Melbourne. All that to say that I've been delayed in my duties. On top of it, I've buried my good microphone somewhere and won't be able to correct a few of the little recording mistakes I found...I'll try to get them next week. Nothing too major...Here it is:http://m1_sterling.tripod.com/conan/hour_of_the_dragon8.mp3Cheers,Morgan Check out this illustrated collection of Conan stories at Amazon and help support my podcast!"

Here's Chapter 7!Still working on the musical intro. Maybe next week....Morgan

AT LONG LAST! Chapter VI!Sorry about the delay - my trip home to see friends and family took up the last 4 weeks and while I actually edited the show while back home in San Francisco, a computer crash left several blank segments in my recording and I had to wait to get back here to re-record those bits. The good bit is that you will get chapter 7 in a day or two....Enjoy!Morgan

Here it is folks! Chapter V. A slave girl visits. Boy is it a good thing that Conan is such a spunk, or boy would he be in trouble! Listen and tremble as Conan encounters the dreadful inhabitant of the dungeon! And quiver in anticipation of the next exciting installment! Will our hero escape the loathsome prison and the dark clutches of Xaltotun? Hang in there and be sure to keep listening!Oh, and stay tuned for a brand new and exciting intro which should be ready for Chapter VI!!!!Link to the episode

Here it is, Chapter IV!!! This week has been busy, but I managed to get it recorded and uploaded anyway. I've been reading Neil Stephenson's Anathema , and have been really enjoying it, but it's certainly very erudite and tough going. Conan is a well worthwhile break from the stresses of life. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have been!Morgan

Well, here it is , Chapter III - The Cliffs Reel!I had a lot of fun reading this one. I'm settling into the voices and reading style I want. Everyone gets their own voice in this episode and I'll strive for that with the rest - or at least for all the major characters. I think I've finally got the technical bugs worked out as well; I've got a decent mic set-up and USB pre-amp which seems to work pretty well and is consistent.There is still a tiny bit more noise than I would like, but overall I think it's quite good and I'm much happier with this one than the last two, though I was pleased with those too. I may go back and re-read the first chapter and insert character voices, but we'll see.Hope you enjoy!http://m1_sterling.tripod.com/conan/hour_of_the_dragon_3.mp3Morgan Saletta

Here it is folks. Sorry about the delay. Technical issues and all that, not to mention the old shallow learning curve. But here it is at long last....Chapter II of The Hour of the Dragon!Hopefully the next one won't be so long in the making - if I can remember which mistakes to learn from, that is....Thanks for all your patience. This is a good one - enjoy!http://m1_sterling.tripod.com/conan/conanchapter2.mp3Or subscribe in a web browserThis audio-production is protected under the following Creative Commons licence:
