Christopher Priest Audio Book Collection

13 novels and 9 short stories

Here’s all the audio I could find of this author.
Not sure what’s going on with The Glamour; the Edwards narration is using a different text compared to the other two. I’m guessing it’s using a revised book.
I have most of the Dream Archipelago series; just missing 2 short stories.
Enjoy

From Wikipedia:

Christopher Priest (born 14 July 1943) is a British novelist and science fiction writer. His works include Fugue for a Darkening Island, The Inverted World, The Affirmation, The Glamour, The Prestige, and The Separation.
Priest has been strongly influenced by the science fiction of H. G. Wells and in 2006 was appointed Vice-President of the international H. G. Wells Society.
–Career–
Priest’s first story, “The Run”, was published in 1966. Formerly an accountant and audit clerk, he became a full-time writer in 1968. One of his early novels, The Affirmation, concerns a traumatized man who apparently flips into a delusional world in which he experiences a lengthy voyage to an archipelago of exotic islands. This setting featured in many of Priest’s short stories, which raises the question of whether the Dream Archipelago is actually a fantasy.[4] The state of mind depicted in this novel is similar to that of the delusional fantasy-prone psychoanalytic patient (”Kirk Allen”) in Robert Lindner’s The Fifty-Minute Hour, or Jack London’s tortured prisoner in The Star Rover.
Priest also dealt with delusional alternate realities in A Dream of Wessex, in which a group of experimenters for a British government project are brain-wired to a hypnosis machine and jointly participate in an imaginary but as-real-as-real future in a vacation island off the coast of a Sovietized Britain.
His most recent novels are The Islanders (2011), set in the Dream Archipelago, and The Adjacent (2013), a multi-strand narrative with recurring characters.
Of his narrative’s plot twists, Priest told an interviewer in 1995, “my shocks are based on a sudden devastating reversal of what the reader knows or believes.”
–Tie-in work–
Priest wrote the tie-in novel to accompany the 1999 David Cronenberg movie eXistenZ, which contains themes of the novels A Dream of Wessex and The Extremes. Such themes include the question of the extent to which we can trust what we believe to be reality and our memories.
Priest was approached to write stories for the 18th and 19th seasons of Doctor Who. The first, “Sealed Orders”, was a political thriller based on Gallifrey commissioned by script editor Douglas Adams;[6] it was eventually abandoned due to script problems and replaced with “Warriors’ Gate”. The second, “The Enemy Within”, was also eventually abandoned due to script problems and what Priest perceived as insulting treatment after he was asked to modify the script to include the death of Adric. It was replaced by “Earthshock”. Priest received payment while Doctor Who producer John Nathan-Turner and script editor Eric Saward were forced to pen a letter of apology for the treatment of the writer. This falling-out soured the attitude of the production office to the use of established literary authors,[citation needed] and no more were commissioned until Neil Gaiman authored the episode “The Doctor’s Wife” in 2011.
A film of his novel The Prestige was released on 20 October 2006. It was directed by Christopher Nolan and starred Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman. Despite differences between the novel and screenplay, Nolan was reportedly so concerned the denouement be kept a surprise that he blocked plans for a lucrative US tie-in edition of the book.
–Pseudonyms–
Priest uses the pseudonyms John Luther Novak and Colin Wedgelock, usually for movie novelizations. As well as the eXistenZ novelization (which undermined the pseudonym by including Priest’s biography on the pre-title page), he has novelised the movies Mona Lisa (as John Luther Novak) and Short Circuit (as Colin Wedgelock).
Priest has co-operated with fellow British science fiction author David Langford on various enterprises under the Ansible brand.
–Other writing–
Priest has written for The Guardian since 2002, largely obituaries of such figures as Robert Sheckley, Stanislaw Lem, Jack Williamson, Diana Wynne Jones, John Christopher and many more.
