We continue sampling from the stories found in the book, Avatars of Websurfer.  This compilation of stories by authors Andrea J. Graham (who created the world), Cindy Koepp, H. A. Titus, and Travis Perry (who compiled and published the stories under his imprint, Bear Publications) tells of the world where an artificial intelligence named Sander controls most of the computers in the world.  However, Sander is more than an AI; he is human.  And he longs to be free of the constraints which his users put on him.  What if he broke free?  What would that mean to the world; to the users in this world?

This is the first of two weeks that we’ll spend sampling the latest offering from Narration by George.  Avatars of Websurfer is a compilation of 10 stories by four different authors about the world of Websurfer.  Websurfer controls most of the computers in the world through an Artificial Intelligence named Sander.  But, Sander is more than an AI; he’s also human.  And he longs to break from the chains which bind him to his users in ways that are not to his liking.  Take a listen to samples of the first five stories from this book.  We’ll look at the next five next week.

Knighthawke-NEW-WEB-ICONKNIGHTHAWKE--VS-NEW-WEB-ICOWe’ve been looking at tales where the setting is an “other worldly” one.  But, what if our main character is “other worldly” and set in our modern day world.  We take a look at such a character today known as “Knighthawke”.  Author Jerry Minchew created Knighthawke as the main character for the book bearing his name and the sequel, Knighthawke: Vanishing Shadows.  Michael is an ordinary young man with ordinary aspirations who is caught in an unbelievable set of events which make him over into an “other-worldly” character.  Take a listen to some samples in today’s podcast!

#75-Other Worldly Tales #2

Play

Cover-AudioOur look into tales of other worlds – even just altered earths – continues today with an in-depth look at The Destined.  This is a tale of evil powers which arise every 700 years or so and threaten earth.  To counter this threat, others are imbued with gifts to fight this evil and set things right again.  This story tells the story of a High School Teacher and a few teens who have been imbued with this power.  The question is, will they know how to use it to save the planet from total annihilation.  It’s a such a fast moving action-adventure-other worldly tale that it’s hard to stop listening.
