Pilgrims Project, by Robert F Young (1915 - 1986)

This project is now in the catalogue. All audio files can be found on our catalogue page:
https://librivox.org/pilgrims-project-by-robert-f-young/


Volunteers outside the USA: Robert F Young died in 1986. 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 70 years for authors who died after 1971; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
Robert F. Young works in a machine shop by day, and at night goes home and writes anti-machine stories! Pilgrims Project is different: not so much anti-machine per se, it is still a vigorous argument in favor of the individual human spirit and against standardization. It is also, of course, a thoroughly exciting story—with one of the most intriguing villains in all sf! (Summary by Original publication)

Target completion date: 2024-05-17

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!

Hi Roger,

I'll MC this for you. I'll set it up later today but you can upload to my folder if you have any files ready. It isn't PD for me so I won't be downloading any files but I know I won't need to. :)

Hi and welcome to Librivox!
When a project is set up as a solo it means the original poster will be recording the whole book, so this is Roger's solo.

Check out your welcome email, get a 1-minute test done and approved, and then head to the Readers Wanted forum. That's where you'll find projects in need of volunteers. :)

Thank you both for your valuable assistance. No rush at all on the MW, I won't have anything ready just yet. :thumbs:
