Sailors & Scallywags: The BLOODY JACK and TREASURE ISLAND Conversation

Sailors & Scallywags:
The BLOODY JACK and TREASURE ISLAND Conversation

Beware the Black Spot, me mates! Whether you be the young Jim Hawkins or the guttersnipe Jacky Faber, there be adventure at sea for those that choose it. Treasure, yes, but also the treachery and trickery of pirates.

SYNC sets sail with the cunning Jacky in her first appearance in BLOODY JACK and with Master Hawkins, friend (and foe) to the pirate Long John Silver in the classic TREASURE ISLAND.

Both audiobooks have been honored with an Odyssey Award Honor for their outstanding productions.

X marks the spot for your thoughts, links, and other mutinous musings that arise when you listen to these audiobooks. JOIN the conversation in comments below.

I'm writing in regards to the free download you have posted of:
'TREASURE ISLAND by Robert Louis Stevenson (Read by Alfred Molina)'
that took place from July 15 - July 21, I was wondering if there is any chance to receive a link for the free download as I obviously got there just as it ended, some three days ago, and did not have the chance of downloading it, furthermore if that option is unavailable, I was wondering whether you would have another open date for a free download of the audiobook mentioned above?

Kind regards,

Angelo

From previous discussions I suspect this is not available, so I'll throw in my two cents worth - LibriVox has an excellent (though non-professional) version of Treasure Island available for free download at http://librivox.org/treasure-island-by-robert-louis-stevenson-2/ . I've listened to this reader, and he's very good. So if you're willing to accept someone besides Alfred Molina, it might do. :) And it's a great story, not to be missed!

I'm sorry, each pair of audiobooks are available for just one week. Once you have downloaded and opened the audiobook with the console, there is no time limit for listening to the audiobook.

One place you might look for last week's titles is: http://search.overdrive.com/.

This website will help you locate a library near you where you can "check out" the book you are looking for and use the media console you already have.

Come on back to Sync every Thursday this summer to see what we audiobooks are available!

I stood at the base of Blackfriar's Bridge today and saluted Jacky Faber & the Rooster Charlie Gang. Thank you LA Meyer! Thank you Katherine Kellgren!
