Recruit for Andromeda, by Stephen Marlowe (1928 - 2008)

This project is complete and all audio files can be found in the catalogue: https://librivox.org/recruit-for-andromeda-by-stephen-marlowe/

Volunteers outside the USA: Stephen Marlowe died in 2008. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 50 years; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
No one comes back from the Nowhere Journey, whatever they say about some “rotation.” When Kit Temple's drafted, he figures he's leaving his girl, his life, behind forever. But his fellow-draftee, the enigmatic Arkalion, seems to know a lot more than what he's letting on. When Kit follows Arkalion to the end of space and time, he finds out what's really going on in this “Nowhere” and takes on a trial that will decide the fate of Earth itself! (Summary by Andrew Huguelet)

Target completion date: 2022-09-31

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Magic Window is in place!

In order to access it, you'll need to create a password for it, which you can also use for the uploader.

Here's all you need to know about the Magic Window as your own BC: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Soloists:_How_to_update_the_Magic_Window
Start from "Accessing the System – First Time Login" to create your password

Please ask if something is unclear.

I'm not sure whether the Ace Books summary is in the public domain and usable for Librivox. I think it's best if you write one in your own words.

Have fun with your solo!!

Good point about the summary. Didn't even think about it. I will write something different soon.

And thanks!

I probably should have asked earlier or said something, but do I need a DPL or someone to listen to this stuff? I'm pretty confident in my editing, but I wanted to be sure before I really get to posting the chapters.

Yes, every project needs a Proof Listener. I think it's best to ask for one after there are files to listen to. Sometimes a DPL offers in the meantime, but if not, you can ask for one in the Listeners Wanted forum, here are instructions viewtopic.php?p=318668#p318668

Perfect timing! I finished editing the first two chapters today. The second chapter starts with something like a play. Didn't want to repeat "First man, second man..." etc, so let me know if that part needs more added to make it understandable. Tried to make the voices different enough that a listener to could different people were speaking without going off the wall on them.

A couple of suggestions for the Magic Window:

You can mark the files "Ready for PL", etc, from that last column, click on it and toggle the status of the section. I've now marked the first two "Ready for PL".

In the notes field you can add the duration of the files.

Good start! :thumbs:

Hi ajhuguelet!
I am afraid I won't be able to PL this book for you as the book is still protected under copyright duration for me. I apologize I didn't see it sooner before offering to volunteer for DPL. Good luck with the project! I am sure someone else will come around soon :)
