Hi Ryk
I'm so hooked on your audiobooks for the frontiers saga. And now they tell me its not going to release it outside North America
i was in contact with your pulisher "Tantor Audio" They told me:
"We were only able to get North American rights to the second series so we are unable to release it outside of there."
Anders Berglund Why? Isn't it Tantor Audio how decides where to release it? The Frontiers Saga
"Tantor Audio No. It depends on what rights are sold to us. We were only sold the North American rights so we can only sell in North America. Ryk or his agent/publisher have the rights to the rest of the World to sell to someone else if they wish."

Is this something you can fix?

I'm working on it. I had assumed that they were buying the same level of rights as the previous episodes. But I am quickly learning that Tantor makes stupid mistakes, and that I should double-check everything they do. (That's how Drummond ended up narrating Escalation instead of Kafer.)

Ryk, Hi, just finished listening / reading the entire season 1 books.. Thank you... gave me hours of "quiet time" however I have to say that Escalation is a bit disappointing, Mr Dummond does not pronounce the names the same as Kafer, and also does not put in the inflection that Mr Kafer did. My three cents is that you'll consider correcting issues into future books..

Hello Ryk and Company,

I loved the first series of books. Couldn't put them down. I would have read them all in a couple of weeks but I too started reading them before they were all released. I read the first 10 and waited for the last five. Since Audible didn't release the last few in a timely manner, I bought the soft copy and read the last few on Kindle. I am going to go back and buy the Audible versions of the last few books so I can have a complete audible set. I am glad they can be bought at a reduced price since I already own a soft copy.

I will not buy the new books until the set is close to being complete. I also will not buy the audible copy of Mr. Drummand's book. Not because he is a bad reader but I don't want to have to retrain my mind new terms, personalities and names. I will buy Mr. Kafer's readings since I am used to his voice and he did such an excellent job on this series.

Thank you Ryk for doing such a good job and I will support as best I can. I also would pay more for a reread of Mr. Drummand's read with Mr Kafer's. Think about it.

Michael
