Tantor Media has recently added more titles to their catalogue of Robin Hobb audio books. Assassin’s Quest and Mad Ship were released in early August, and yesterday also Ship of Destiny became available. Now the only major RH work not yet published in audio format is the Tawny Man trilogy (the Soldier Son trilogy was released previously in audio format by Recorded Books). Anne Flosnik is the narrator for the Liveship stories and Paul Boehmer reads the Farseer books. You can listen to samples from the books at Tantor’s page for Robin Hobb.
