New release! Bones Burnt Black by Stephen Euin Cobb
A serial killer — brilliant, methodical and suicidal — sabotages a large commercial spacecraft’s engines to set it on an eight-day trajectory to burn up in the sun, then remains aboard ship to murder and torment its passengers and crew.
With no other ships near enough to reach them, rescue is impossible, and the few survivors fight their unknown enemy while trying to invent a way to survive the growing heat of the sun.

Hello, Everyone,
J.C. Hutchins (author of the 7th Son trilogy) said this about Bones Burnt Black, “A riveting and realistic portrayal of space travel gone wrong, and of a crew who must fight for their survival. Bones Burnt Black is exciting, and expertly told. A must-listen.”

A great story! Kept me glued. Very good reading too. I like how all the characters were developed except for the eventual villain of the work. Can’t tell you why exactly (and no spoilers) but something was different.

… skip it. The reading was absolutely emotionless, with awkward pauses and inflections ala Shatner’s Captain Kirk. The blues music between chapters destroyed the already weak aura of suspense, and the story was predictable to the point that I ALMOST didn’t call it because it couldn’t have been THAT obvious. (It was) I listened to this because of the J.C. Hutchins quote above. I regretted every second of it.

I am agree with Geoph. Emotionless reading is useless. There should be something exciting suspense in the story to make it readable. Story which is not having suspense hardly could run these days.

Announcement: Bones Burnt Black took the #1 position on the list of “Today’s Top Subscriptions” at Podiobooks.com on April 9, and simultaneously took the #2 position on their list of “Most Popular Books by Number of Subscriptions in the Last 30 Days.” As I type this (at 4:15 on April 12, 2012) it remains at the #2 position on the list of “Most Popular Books by Number of Subscriptions in the Last 30 Days,” and has done so consistently for all the intervening days.

Hello, Everyone. While I have only this one novel available as an audiobook, those who wish may buy my other novels in their Kindle editions by going to Amazon.com and searching for my full name. Or just go to my web page (www.SteveCobb.com) and use the direct links. Kindle allows everyone to read the first 10% of any book for Free, so you can decide if you like it before spending your money. What’s more, Kindle books can be read on a computer or a smartphone or a tablet computer or even on a Kindle. And if you buy a book for one device, you have bought it for all the devices you own. It’s a pretty good deal. I like it, and use it.
