Talking Number One on Podiobooks.com

After only two days on Podiobooks.com, Rebels of the Red Planet has managed to reach the number one spot for the daily chart (click on picture).



I don't know what they are counting to decide this chart, but I'd guess it's the number of new subscriptions. Which means I'll probably drop of the chart real soon. I can't complain at that. I never expected to get on any of the charts, never mind at number one.

Thanks.

I'm surprised at the swell in numbers. I guess I shouldn't be. It's still only a tiny, tiny fragment of the total podiobooks.com audience.

Hear hear! Splendid! I just started listening to Rebels a few days ago, and am now on Ep. 14, sick at heart at the prospect of there being no more episodes available yet.

What a great story! And so subversive. Brilliant critique of capitalist imperialism & the corporate state, cast into a compelling & highly intelligent sci-fi tale.

I haven't googled the author's name yet to see who he was to produce sophisticated a political sci-fi thriller way back in the early 60's. Wouldn't be surprised if he was blacklisted by HUAC for his views.

You're getting through them fast. Chapter 15 should be out tomorrow. And I promise to switch of the mobile this time.

This is from the 1961 author blurb. I believe he came back to write a few YA novels about ten years ago.

Quote:
CHARLES L. FONTENAY writes: "I was born in Brazil of a father who was by birth English and by parentage German and French, and of a mother who was by birth American and by parentage American and Scottish. This mess of internationalism caused me some trouble in the army during World War II as the government couldn't decide whether I was American, British, or Brazilian; and both as an enlisted man and an officer I dealt in secret work which required citizenship by birth. On three occasions I had to dig into the lawbooks. Finally they gave up and admitted I was an American citizen....

"I was raised on a West Tennessee farm and distinguished myself in school principally by being the youngest, smallest (and consequently the fastest-running) child in my classes ... Newspaper work has been my career since 1936. I have worked for three newspapers, including The Nashville Tennessean for which I am now rewrite man, and before the war for the Associated Press."

Mr. Fontenay is married, lives in Madison, Tenn., and has had one other novel published by Ace Books.
