However, recently I download a unabridged book from someone else I now I wish the Nick Stone novels were the same. It's true they miss out some great parts when cut.

I emailed Random House Audiobooks - they hold the rights to the audiobooks. They told me there were no plans for an unabridged book of Brute force but didn't know why they stopped with the unabridged ones or if there would be any in future. It's probably a financial reason, I imagine it costs a lot more to have the voice artist read the whole 12 hour book, I just feel the abridged ones leave too much info out - the info that makes the books so good in the first place. Cheers, Andy Hi Lynn,

There's no point in asking his publisher Transworld, since they don't hold the rights to the audiobooks.

I travel all over the UK for my job but I live in Leeds and he was at Waterstones (which is 10 mins walk from my flat), I planned to go there but I got a call last minute and was diverted to London :( I'll keep my eyes peeled, I want to ask him if they will ever release any more unabridged audio books. I have all of them, even Crisis Four which they don't do anymore unabridged; Clive Mantle = Nick Stone. Because I travel a lot the audio books really help on boring train rides/motorways.
