Here’s a short synopsis of Black from Ted Dekker’s website:

By day’s end, three million people will be carriers of the deadliest virus in history. There is no vaccine. There is no anti-virus. The world’s only hope is Thomas Hunter, and he has already been killed. Twice. Enter an adrenaline-laced epic where dreams and reality collide – and the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance of one man’s choices.

The Gathering Storm, Chapters 1 & 2 Audio Available

With the long-awaited release of “The Gathering Storm” coming in less than one month, publisher Tor has released the audio versions of chapters one and two.

“The Gathering Storm” is Volume 12 in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. Unfortunately, Mr. Jordan passed away before the series could be completed, so Tor hired Brandon Sanderson to finish the series. Originally slated to be one book, the end of the series has now been split into three volumes, the first of which is “The Gathering Storm.”

The audio chapters are available to those registered on Tor.com. See: http://www.tor.com/gatheringstorm/register

Further info on the book can be found here.
