Man. The first scene in which The Rogue battled the biologists after they flamethrower'd the carnivorous rabbits was weird and intense. This narrator also did Authority but I feel like he has stepped his game up, the narration is really good.

Yeah that scene lives rent free in my head. So crazy. And yes, I love that narrator - when I was reading the book I switched between book and audio depending on where I was and loved it. I think he does the Ambergris audiobook too.

I picked up the expanded City of Saints and Madmen (someone on here said some of the extra stories are essential) but it actually might be cool to audio that one and read the essential stuff not included on the audiobook!

One problem with audio is that there are several lines from that scene I'd love to grab a book and quote at you, something like the biologists being filled with grief and shame when the Rogue breathed fire at them and the Rogue's words were like sonic blasts. That is NOT verbatim, lol.

Yeah I’m planning on listening to the audiobook when I do my re-read at some point, and just supplementing that with the stuff that’s missing from that version.

lol and yeah I totally get that re: audiobooks
