Earth, Empire, and Elven-Fire | New Audiobook Releases
Each week there are dozens of scifi, fantasy, and other speculative fiction audiobooks released. I highlight the most talked about and/or interesting looking ones from that week. The first person to correctly identify which 3 books below I took the key words in the title from will get a virtual shout-out in next week's post & tweet. (I'm doing this to try and make it more fun for me to improve my titles.)

Congratulations to Book Cupidity who won the title game last week by correctly identifying the 3 books I pulled my post title from.
Being released this week are the final novels in two popular series: "The Long Earth" #5 by Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter and "Temeraire" #9 by Naomi Novik. Will you be sad to see them go?

Captain Kel Cheris of the Hexarchate is disgraced for using unconventional methods in a battle against heretics.

"The deadly campaign in Russia has cost both Napoleon and those allied against him. Napoleon has been denied his victory…but at a terrible price. Lawrence and the dragon Temeraire pursue the fleeing French army back west, but are demoralized when Napoleon makes it back to Paris unscathed.
