The Eustace Diamonds Chapter 63

Hi, I’m Steven Jay Cohen, Head Writer here at BrokenSea Audio Productions’ Doctor Who.

I want to take a moment to thank those of you who have already donated at www.brokensea.com/donate. Your support will help send a member of the production team to the the Parsec Awards.

Not only has a Brokensea show made it to the finals for the second year running, so your contribution will help make it possible for a BSAP representative to be at the award ceremony, but, an event like this can give us access to people involved in the professional production of creative media.

Many people involved in the productions you enjoy here at BrokenSea would love to be able to give up the day job, as it were, and make stories like these for a living. Getting these stories to the ears of the right people could be the big break they are dreaming about. So please, head over to www.brokensea.com/donate and give what you can.

Fifty dollars? Twenty? How about ten or five? If even ten percent of our listenership gave five dollars to support what we’re calling project parsec, it would make a big difference.

That URL again, www.brokensea.com/donate.

Thank you.

Hello, I am David Sobkowiak, a founding member here at BrokenSea Audio Productions.

In a little over 2 years, BrokenSea has gone from a simple idea to a vital audio community. One of BrokenSea’s strengths is the diversity of our community. From Europe to the Americas to Asia, the BrokenSea family spans the globe. And, none of this audio would hasve been possible without support from listeners like you.

For the second year in a row, our shows have made it to the finals of the Parsec Awards. The Parsec Awards are given for Speculative Fiction Podcasts and are presented on Saturday, September 5th 2009, at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia.

BrokenSea is raising money to help send one of our own to the ceremony. Dragon*Con offers BrokenSea the opportunity to get the Guerilla Audio, that you know and love, to a wider audience.

And… this is where you come in. Making a pledge right now at www.brokensea.com/donate is the best way for you to express your support for all the shows that you know and love. Jake Sampson, X-Files, Maudlayne, and Doctor Who — among others — if you have enjoyed these stories even half as much as we have enjoyed producing them, let us know. Take a minute and donate now on our secure paypal page.

Jonny Quest Ep3 part 2 Who’s Who
The Quest family is working diligently in trying to prove Race’s innocence. But there are more players in this game than they realize.

Conan Queen of the Black Coast
The audio book version of Robert E. Howard’s Incredible tale of Conan the Barbarian: Queen Of The Black Coast, continues with the final 3 chapters.

Chapter 2
After many adventures together, Belit and her Beloved First Mate CONAN, sail the river Zarkheba, which means Death in the dark tongue of Stygia, in search the gold of a lost city of antiquity. But horror awaits the crew of the Tigress…

This is a reading of the Story by Bill Hollweg. The intro and outro music was composed by Seraphic Panopoly.

Chapter 3: The Horror in the Jungle
Conan is felled by the narcotic properties of the Black Lotus plant and receives visions of the rise and fall of a lost race of near godlike creatures; the ancestors of the winged horror CONAN and his men have persued? Perhaps… While deeper in the dank jungle, his fellow warriors, Belit’s crew, wait in terror for him- not knowing of CONAN’s fall. And something watches the scene with slavering fangs….

Chapter 4: Attack from the Air
After felling a part man/part monstrosity on a cliff, and finding death has befallen the crew of the Tigress, CONAN faces the bestial, winged, horror that has dogged his every step since arriving on this dark shore… Sword at the ready…

Chapter 5: The Funeral Pyre
The final chapter. CONAN sends the Tigress on her final voyage…

The “Queen of the Black Coast” was a novelette by Robert E. Howard first published in the May 1934 issue of Weird Tales magazine.
This is a reading of the Story by Bill Hollweg. The intro and outro music was composed by Seraphic Panopoly.
We are also doing a full cast audio drama of this and a other tales of Conan- set for early 2008 release. We hope that you have enjoyed this tale of CONAN.

Conan: Red Nails
Red Nails, a tale featuring the legendary Conan the Barbarian, was written by Robert E. Howard and began its written serialization in the July 1936 issue of Weird Tales. This thrilling audio novella begins with pirate-adventuress Valeria of the Red Brotherhood on the run after slaying a notable brigand. She is followed by Conan and the two soon fight their way to a great, walled city inhabited by two warring peoples. The adventure seekers soon find themselves embroiled in the feud and mayhem ensues as the city’s rulers make unholy plans for the mighty Cimmerian and his feisty female companion. Listen now as an ancient evil returns from oblivion and a wicked sorceress seeks to gain immortality at the cost of our Hyborian heroes!

The “Queen of the Black Coast” was a novelette by Robert E. Howard first published in the May 1934 issue of Weird Tales magazine. <thanks to Jessee at SFFaudio for this info and the link to this and other wonderful tales by RE Howard that are now in the Public Doman! SFFaudio ROX!!!>
In the seacoast kingdom of Argos, after a brush with the Hyborian legal system, Conan hops aboard a southward bound ship. Off the coasts of Kush the ship is boarded by black corsairs under the Shemitish she-devil, Bêlit. Conan joins her crew, becomes her consort, and for a long time they harry the Hyborian and Stygian ports. During this stage of his career, Conan gains the name of Amra, the Lion, which is to follow him throughout his later life.

This is a reading of the Story by Bill Hollweg. The intro and outro music was composed by Seraphic Panopoly.
