Author:

Peter Cawdron

Peter is an Australian science fiction writer, specializing in making hard science fiction easy to understand and thoroughly enjoyable. His FIRST CONTACT series is topical rather than character-based, meaning each book stands alone. These audiobooks can be listened to in any order, but they all focus on the same topic—First Contact with extraterrestrial lifeforms. In this regard, this series is akin to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE

PERFORMER:

Nick Cracknell

I hosted morning radio shows for over 25 years in NY, CT, RI, and Virginia, during which time I voiced comedy bits, interviewed celebrities, MC'd concerts, flew in a stunt plane, landed by helicopter on an aircraft carrier, and even joined a seance hoping to connect with Houdini! I brought my vocal skills to the equally exciting world of audiobook production in 2017, narrating such notable works as "Devolution" by John Casey (a book reviewed by the CIA!); "Conrad's Honor," by Alex Ryan; the 7 book "Linear Tactical Series" by Janie Crouch; the "Lunatic City" series by T. Allen Diaz; and many more. I possess a deep, rich baritone, ideally suited for the sarcastic detective, the clandestine spy, the romantic lover, the wandering cowboy, or the military commander.
