Toby Longworth is a talented guy (and Week Ending was one of my all-time favourite satirical radio shows).

This information should go on that very Wikipedia page. :wink:
Someone will have to oblige for me, wikipedia is sniffy about perceived self-promotion. Somebody put me on here though... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_no ... ideo_games

Drew, I am completely serious and not one bit exaggerating when I say that this shapes up to be one of the most exciting science fiction works ever. I'm really hooked just by what I read in your updates and I haven't even seen the cover page yet!

Thanks guys! I'm pretty sure I've done it justice... All of it. Elite, Oolite, FE2, FFE and ED itself. It was a task, but the end result is a rip roaring mission across the new worlds of Elite with nods to the illustrious past, a new set of memorable characters, a darker tone and what I consider to be the spiritual successor to 'The Dark Wheel' and 'Status Quo'. I hope you enjoy - won't be long now.

Cheers,

Drew.

Today's update. With Elite Reclamation approved by both Frontier and my publisher, the audiobook in post-production. What happens next? Dare we utter the 's' word?

Comments as always on the blog.

Oooo pretty!

Lave radio? Audio dramas? It would appear I've missed the party good and proper.
Pity, I have a small measure of experience with such things playing Archduke Walker VonKarin in Christopher Patrick Lydon's sprawling space epic series the Falcon Banner.

Damn.... This is cool. Still it matters little, I'm glad to hear your finally receiving the press you so richly deserve.

Right on commander!

Maybe a couple of years down the line when all the regolith has settled. Maybe we'll take a look at a full cast audio version. :D
Now that could be done.
