Fellow audiobook fans: looks like @darklylem.com's first book Transmentation | Transience is cheap as chips on chirp, at least in some regions.

A multiversal political thriller with deep thoughts about identity and power, gloriously narrated by Dion Graham.

"Immensely fun, it’s also immensely clever in its redeployment and reconfiguration of familiar science-fictional de­vices, and has a set of deep questions and concerns gnawing at its fantastic scenery."

What a great review!

Just finished reading this book last night. If you're new to the Many Worlds multiverse, this book will drop you right into it and into the ancient battle between several splintered factions. The book is dense and rich (like a tasty cake), it's intricate and complex AND has robots, aliens & taverns.
The long tug of war between the Faculty and the publishing gatekeepers in the Episcopacy (blessed and wise as they are) has finally ended. Our book emerges soon! DL
