Legacy by James H. Schmitz (1911 - 1981).

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/legacy-by-james-h-schmitz/
Ancient living machines that after millennia of stillness suddenly begin to move under their own power, for reasons that remain a mystery to men. Holati Tate discovered them—then disappeared. Trigger Argee was his closest associate—she means to find him. She's brilliant, beautiful, and skilled in every known martial art. She's worth plenty—dead or alive—to more than one faction in this obscure battle. And she's beginning to have a chilling notion that the long-vanished Masters of the Old Galaxy were wise when they exiled the plasmoids to the most distant and isolated world they knew....

  • Text source (only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/21510
  • Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard



    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!

I'd be glad to join as DPL, unless you have someone else in mind, which is fine.

I've marked Chapter 5 PL OK, but you might want to check out the pause at about 8:48 -- just seemed a bit longer than your normal pacing.

You're right. I usually use a 2.5 sec. pause for in-chapter time/location transitions; that was longer. I uploaded a new 5.

Also 9 & 10.
