S&S Star Trek Audiobook Download sale.

[The Laughing Vulcan]

I got an e-mail today from Simon and Schuster announcing 30% off Star Trek audiobooks.

This maybe of use to someone.

They need to release some new audiobooks, i would listen to the new Academy as audiobooks.

The marketing would be probably relativly easy too.

I would be tempted to download one for Titan, just to see how some of the names are pronounced.

But the important factor is selling enough copies to warrant the payment of the voice cast. Simon & Schuster downgraded their Star Trek audio program due to falling sales.

Are they even selling enough copies of the "Starfleet Academy" books? I've had to order each SA YA hardcover from Amazon, as distribution to Australia for these has been extremely spotty. The odd, random copy of the simultaneous trade paperback, sometimes in the "Star Trek" section, sometimes in the "Teen Romance" section. They seemingly haven't caught on like the YA "Star Wars" novels or the many "Twilight"-lookalike YA novels. Even mainstream bookstores seem to get two-five copies of new ST MMPBs fot their SF sections, but not many have the SA books on their radar.

BTW, has anyone ever bought the Grover Gardner version of "Nemesis" (Chivers Sound Library/BBC Audiobooks America, 2002, 347 min.)? These were not really distributed in stores; mainly sold to public libraries. I recently tried to buy one through Amazon's second hand market, but what actually arrived was a still-shrinkwrapped CD version of the S&S Audio version, read by Boyd Gaines (180 min.), which I already have on audiocassette.

I was successful in getting the other Chivers Sound Library/BBC Audiobooks America production, the unabridged "Sarek" that S&S Audio recently rereleased. This one still had stickers, deleted stamps and barcodes from Springfield-Greene County Library of Springfield, Missouri.
