Hi Jim,
Have you heard from the Lodingo folks yet? I had to wait a bit, but they e-mailed me back within a few hours.
They did say they were re-doing things this week - that note from them last week said ...
For your "I Spy Forum" you need to know that as of next week we will be taking the $10 coupon offer off of the home page.
You can still use the link if you wish http://www.lodingo.com/gateway_pages/10GiveAway-Lodingo - but we will be changing it. We are about to release a series of discount clubs and that page will become an introduction to these clubs for now. As soon as the clubs are launched you will receive an email from our overall discount club that will be offering McKnight's Memory for just $7.49 .... and offering exclusive discounts to its members.
(I just checked and the link works.)
If you still haven't heard from them, their e-mail address is:
customerservice@LoDingo.com
I heard from 2 very nice ladies there. If you haven't heard from them, you can write to them directly and ask about the pricing. Let us know.
I've listened to about 1/2 of
McKnight's Memory so far and I'm enjoying it very much. It reminds me of the Culp audiobooks from the late 80s, early 90s - with music and full sound effects. It is done as a full audio play and most entertaining to listen to ... with Frank Sinatra, Jr. as the narrator. There's lots of great character actors involved.
Bob plays a sort of straight Bill Maxwell character in this (a head guy at the CIA) who has lost his memory while on an operation (of course, he has been set-up and doesn't know who he can trust). Perhaps the older Kelly he played in "I SPY Returns" would describe his character, also. All the unknown threads are coming together, as the story builds - who is really trying to get him - and what group has set him up and why?
Bob has had several scenes with H.M. Wynant so far. And there's lots of excellent scenes with Nancy Kwan as the Asian femme fatale (I know it's the lovely Ms. Kwan's voice, but I can't help picturing France Nuyen!) Henry Silva is also in it as the head bad guy, but he hasn't come in as yet.
(Watch out Kelly - that's really Dr. Akivic and I bet he's still holding a grudge!!!!!) And there's Don Stroud, Edd Byrnes, David Hedison - and a bunch of other fine actors in the cast, too. (See below.) Anyway, so far, so good - definitely entertaining. It runs over 3 hours.
All my best,
Tatia
