Warcraft Audiobooks
November 15, 2008Update: The audiobooks are delayed! See my update here.
Update 2: Finally, A Warcraft Audiobook. Click here for details.
I’m super excited about this one. Blizzard Entertainment is partnering with Tantor Media to release the first three Warcraft novels in audiobook form. They will be read by Dick Hill, who I personally don’t recall hearing but who has 400+ audiobooks on his resume, and has won numerous awards.
- Warcraft: Day of the Dragon by Richard A. Knaak – December 2008 (11 hours)
- Warcraft: Lord of the Clans by Christie Golden – February 2009 (7 hours)
- Warcraft: The Last Guardian by Jeff Grubb – April 2009 (7 hours 30 minutes)
Retail CD, Library CD, and mp3 versions are available for preorder on Tantor Media’s website. No sign yet that they’ll be available on Audible.com or Amazon.com.
I have all of the Warcraft books, but I’ve only ever gotten around to reading Day of the Dragon. I look longingly at the rest of the stack but never seem to find the time. I get a lot more “reading” done on audio these days, and these will move right up to the top of my audiobook list.
I can’t wait for all the books to be available on audio. I only ever do audio books anymore. It’s the only way I can squeeze books into my life these days.
I’ve been that way too for the last few years. I recently bought a Kindle in part because I hoped it would spur me to read more, which it has. So I do both now. I’m currently reading World of Warcraft: Arthas by Christie Golden on the Kindle, and The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub via audiobook, read by the late great Frank Muller.
