Knock three-one-two by Fredric Brown
https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/70944

A mystery by an author much more well known for his sci-fi. There's a solo already completed for this.

I'd like to try A.D. 2000.

Do I just start work on it or is there something else I have to do first?

You can basically just head over to the New Project Launch Pad and read the instructions on how to create a SOLO project. Having said that, we STRONGLY encourage contributing to a few group projects before tackling a solo (especially one like AD 2000 that's pretty long at over 94,000 words which when finished would probably be over 9 hours). If you have an interest in recording sci-fi, you could always head over here and recording a short story for our Short Sci-fi collection: viewtopic.php?t=98538

The instructions for how to do so and where to find stuff to record is in the first post. Welcome to Libivox! :D

Hi, I'd like to suggest Paradox by Charles Cloukey. (if not already, it should be "ripe" soon)

That one won't be PD for another two years unfortunately. I'll definitely add it to the Unrecorded Pulp Sci-fi thread (viewtopic.php?t=98183) once it does though. Meanwhile, there are a couple of years of Amazing Stories that are already in PD that I've added in there. Plus Greg Weeks has found a smattering of post-1927 stories from that magazine that never had copyright renewed too!

This has posted to PG now.

The horror expert by Frank Belknap Long
https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/71521

There's a solo project of this already in the catalog. It took longer to get through pgdp than it did to complete the audio book.
