Hey folks,
I hope you’re all doing well!
Today’s post is an announcement about the long awaited audiobook release for The Privateer – Alpha Protocol 3. It will be out on 2 July, as in, next Tuesday!
It’s available for preorder now, which you can do at this link:

The Privateer is once again narrated by the superb Scott Aiello who’s knocked it out of the park once again, putting in an amazing performance and really bring the characters to life.
The good folks over at Podium (who produce and publish the audiobook) have sent me over a load of nice teaser trailers and images, so I’m going to try embedding them here. Wish me luck!
Here’s a little bit on what the story is about:
The greatest threat humanity has ever faced lies beyond the frontier of its galactic civilization, but dangers closer to home have been overlooked and allowed to grow.
As greed and personal ambition in the Terran Union push the common good aside, the Navy is forced to turn to unconventional means. Jack Samson is ordered to team up with former allies to uncover and destroy the rot eating the Union from the inside.
Chasing down a trail of smuggled alien technology through the Union’s underworld, they soon discover the web of treachery reaches farther than anyone could have expected…
Finally, I have the banner graphic, which looks pretty cool, so I didn’t want to leave it out!
That’s all the excitement I’ve got for this week! See you all again next week!
This story is freaking awesome. I hope it keeps going for many books. I really liked your other series, but really love this series.
Thanks, David! Working hard on the next one!
New reader here. I just finished the Alpha Protocol series, so count me as a new fan. Looking forward to more in this series (soon I hope!) while I get caught up on your other work.
Hi Michele, glad to hear you liked the books! Thanks for letting me know!
Hey Duncan, I loved your Wolf of the North trilogy. My partner just read and enjoyed it as well and now we’ve decided to read all your other books. Please keep writing them!
Also, I was wondering if The Privateer was inspired by the (brilliant) PC game from the 90s?

Hi Joachim,
I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed the books! Thanks for letting me know! I did play Privateer back when I was a kid, and really enjoyed it, but the inspiration for the book came from my interest in the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean and the concept of Letters of Marque, coupled with wondering how things would work if Smith went legitimate (even just for a little while) like Henry Morgan.
