Best Richard Ferrone Audiobooks
Richard Ferrone is a veteran audiobook narrator with a deep, distinctive voice that has served science fiction, fantasy, and adventure fiction across multiple decades. He is the narrator of Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy — Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars — considered one of the most ambitious and scientifically rigorous works of hard science fiction. Ferrone's narration of the trilogy, which spans over a century of Martian colonization and transformation, required sustained commitment to an enormous cast of characters and an extraordinary range of scientific, philosophical, and political material. He also narrated Clive Barker's Abarat, bringing Barker's lush, visionary fantasy world to audio with appropriate imagination. His work on Conn Iggulden's Genghis: Birth of an Empire and Richard A. Knaak's Stormrage shows his breadth across historical fiction and fantasy gaming tie-ins. Ferrone's voice has a natural gravitas that suits large-canvas, intellectually ambitious fiction.
