COMPLETE [SOLO] Wolfbane By Frederik Pohl -CM Kornbluth-ag

[Grothmann]

Wolfbane by Frederik Pohl (1919 - 2013) and C.M. Kornbluth.

This science fiction novel takes place in the year 2203, if we take literally the age of 250 years. A rogue planet, populated by strange machines known as Pyramids, has stolen the Earth from the Solar system, taking it off into interstellar space. The moon has been 'ignited' by alien technology to serve as a miniature sun around which both planets orbit. This new sun is rekindled every 5 years, though as the book opens, the rekindling is nearly overdue and there is fear among the populace that it may never happen again. ( Wikipedia)

  IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record 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!

Hi Dale,
Your project is set up now. I'll leave you on the launchpad for a bit for prooflisteners to notice.
Cheers,
Amy

[Grothmann]

Thank you Amy. This looks like a lot more work than just reading, but I will try.

Dale

Hi, Dale!

You are right -- the reading is just half of the work, or less. Editing can be quite a task, at least for people like me who make a lot of mistakes, false starts, etc.

Anyway, you will need a DPL for this project, and I would be glad to help.
I'm a Sci-Fi fan, and read quite a bit of Pohl back in the day, though I don't recall this one.

Oh, and I think you really need to include Kornbluth as the co-author on this one. The two of the collaborated and quite a few books.

[alg1001]

True enough. Kornbluth is added. I added you as DPL, Larry, pending Dale's approval.

p.s.
He is a prolific reader. This is his first solo, not his first rodeo.

[Grothmann]

Thank you both. I was about to ask how to add Cyril Kornbluth. When I put Fred Pohl's name on the form, he popped up immediately, And thank you, Larry, for volunteering to proof read (listen). Now I have one more thing out of the way so that I can start.

Thanks
Dale

[alg1001]

I will move you to Going Solo.
Good luck!
Amy

Hi Dale,
You can upload the files to me, alg1001 and say how long they are. Since it is a book, you have to say Chapter or Section One, etc,... as the first thing you say.
Here is the script.
Chapter [number] of Wolfbane. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Say:
"Wolfbane, by Frederik Pohl. [Chapter Number]"
Have a good night,
Amy

The reading is fine. You just need to say at the end, "End of Chapter One."

[Grothmann]
