It is not a typing error when I tell you that Amber will be narrating one of the versions of the audiobook because John and Audible have taken the unusual step of recording two entirely separate versions of Lock In. This is because the gender of lead character Chris Shane isn't revealed and why John chose to have the two different versions made so one will be narrated by Amber and the other by her friend and fellow actor Wil Wheaton.
Locked In is a futuristic thriller where the mysterious and deadly Haden Syndrome has devastated the planet. Twenty-five years after the appearance of this deadly virus two FBI agents Chris Shane and his veteran partner Leslie Vann are sent to investigate a Haden related murder at the Watergate Hotel unaware they are about to uncover a much bigger mystery.
Lock In will be released on 26 August this year but it is available to pre-order via both the US and UK Audible websites now. Both sites offer the facility to buy the audiobook for a one-off fee for non-members. Audible also offers a range of packages where in return for a regular monthly fee a user is entitled to download Lock In as well as access to a vast library of audiobooks also available on the site. The number of books you can download in the month will depend upon your individual package for full details see the respective Audible websites.
Audible.com are offering both versions for the price of one if you order the Amber Benson version you will receive Wil Wheaton's version at no extra cost or vice versa this offer is available until 11:59 PM on 22 August EST. Sadly this offer is not available to customers in the United Kingdom however the good news is both versions of the audiobook are available to pre-order from the UK site now. There are no prizes for guessing which version I have pre-ordered sorry Wil I'm sure your version is excellent but as you might expect Amber was the narrator I picked :-)
