Stargate Atlantis actors to do audio book readings!

[wraithfodder]

 Great news! Yes, audio books read by Torri Higginson, Paul McGillion and David Nykl (gah, notice how many people doing these books got killed off on the show!)

Big Finish productions (who also produces many Dr. Who Audio adventures) has teamed up with MGM to produce a series of audiobooks, available as online download or CD. The one hour long dramas will feature one main cast member, with possibly an additional cast member. There will be 3 SG-1 and 3 Atlantis stories. Please note that these are not books that are read aloud, but are audio dramas. The current line-up is as follows:

 

April 30 - SG-1 "Gift of the gods" written by Sally Malcolm Read by Michael Shanks

 

May 30 - SGA "Necessary Evil" written by Sharon Gosling Read by Torri Higginson

 

June 30 - SG-1 "Shell Game" written by James Swallow Read by Claudia Black and Michael Shanks

 

July 30 - SGA "Perchance to Dream" written by Sally Malcolm Read by Paul McGillion

 

August 30 - SG-1 "Pathogen" written by Sharon Gosling Read by Teryl Rothery

 

September 20 - SGA "Zero Point" written by James Swallow Read by David Nykl

 

Big Finish Productions will launch their downloading service beginning February 1. For future information on the SG-1/SGA audio dramas (nothing is noted there as of yet), please visit the Big Finish Productions website.

Either that, or David and Amanda could each read half of the book and see who read each part quicker (:

It is, Interlopers by Alan Dean Foster. I currently work in an audio book store, so I know, that, James Marsters has read at least one book. And I know Michael Shanks has done audiobooks before as well (that one I don't remember the title, it's at a different location so I can't look it up) (and why no, I'm not at work!)

I think David would outtalk Amanda. Didn't they do a fast-talk-off with DAvid and Amanda (or was it Michael?) on one of the SG specials?

lol - that they did. And David technically won, however, I award Amanda points because she read it at a quick yet understandable speed, because I don't think she was expecting David to go off on supersonic barely able to catch every 3rd word speed =P
