Podio Books

Hey all,

I want to spread the good word today of Podiobooks.com

This is a web site with free audio books from authors who are either little known, or unpublished. You can donate if you like the books (note to self, get off but and donate) and 75% of it goes to the author. Personally I think it's great! I've also found some really good books on there. Great for a 7 hour drive to Moose Jaw. Each book is released in a Podcast like format with a chapter or two being read per episode.

7th Son:
Three weeks ago, the U.S. president was murdered by a four-year-old boy.
Today, seven men stare at each other in a locked conference room. Kidnapped and brought to this underground facility, the strangers are sitting in silence, thunderstruck. Despite minor physical differences, they all appear to be the same man, with the same name ... and the same childhood memories.

A Different Point of View:
A Different Point of View is a series of essays about the Star Wars Universe as seen through the eyes of lowly sandtrooper, TD-0013. It takes everything you thought you knew about the Star Wars saga and flips it around to expose the ugly underbelly of the Rebellion, The Jedi, and everything else.

Playing for Keeps:
Playing for Keeps tells the story of Keepsie Branson, a bar owner in the shining metropolis of Seventh City: birthplace of super powers. Keepsie and her friends live among egotistical heroes and manipulative villains, and manage to fall directly in the middle as people with powers, but who just aren't strong enough to make a difference. Or that's what they've been told. As the city begins to melt down, it's hard to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad.

Singularity:
What if the cataclysmic Tunguska explosion of 1908 was caused, not by a meteor or a comet, but by a microscopic black hole?
What if that fantastic object - smaller than an atom, older than the stars, heavier than a mountain - is still down there, orbiting deep inside the earth, slowly consuming the planet?
What if only a rookie government agent and an uncannily-insightful consultant stand between a renegade Russian billionaire and his plans to use the black hole to change history - or end it?
What if it's all true?

So far there is only one book on the site that I wasn't a big fan of (Daughter of the Sun) and many more I still want to listen to. I tend to find the feed on iTunes and download episodes from there. If you come across any other good ones, feel free to share them :)
