Audiobooks by Daniel Polansky

"From Hugo Award-nominated author comes a high-octane post-apocalyptic romp set in the ruins of Manhattan. Tomorrow, the funk descends on Manhattan, a noxious cloud that separates the island from the rest of the world and mutates the population. Some generations on, the surviving population exists amid the rubble of modernity, wearing our cast-off clothing, worshipping celebrities as dim gods, and using emojis in place of written language. The Island exists in a state of uneasy peace, with each neighborhood an independent fiefdom, protecting itself with scrap metal spears and Molotov cocktails. But something new has come to the Island, the first tourist in centuries, and this uneasy equilibrium is about to shatter…"

March's End

"The Harrows are a typical suburban family who, since time immemorial, have borne a sacred and terrible charge. In the daylight, they are teachers, doctors, bartenders, and vagrants, but at night they are the rulers and protectors of the March, a fantastical secondary world populated with animate antiquated toys and sentient lichen, a panorama of the impossible where cities are carried on the backs of giant snails, and thunderstorms can be subdued with song. Beneath this dreamlike exterior lie dark secrets, and for generation after generation, the Harrows have defended the March from the perils that wait outside its borders—when they are not consumed in their own bitter internecine quarrels. In the modern day, the Harrow clan is composed of Sophia, the High Queen of the March, a brilliant, calculating matriarch, and her three children: noble Constance, visionary, rebellious Mary Ann, and clever, amoral Will. Moving back and forth between their youth, adolescence, and adulthood, we watch as this family fractures, then reconciles in the face of a conflict endangering not only the existence of the March but of the 'real world' itself. March's End is a multi-generational portal fantasy in which the familial struggles of the Harrows are threaded through the mythic history of the fantastical land they protect. It is a story of failure and redemption, in which the power of love is tested against forces that seek to break it, and the necessity of each generation to recreate itself is asserted."

The Seventh Perfection

"'Barrie Kreinik narrates a complex fantasy about the multifaceted nature of truth...The structure of this story is intricate, despite being short, and Kreinik masterfully weaves a path through its various narratives.' -- AudioFile Magazine Hugo Award finalist Daniel Polansky crafts an innovative, mind-bending fantasy mystery in The Seventh Perfection When a woman with perfect memory sets out to solve a riddle, the threads she tugs on could bring a whole city crashing down. The God-King who made her is at risk, and his other servants will do anything to stop her. To become the God-King's Amanuensis, Manet had to master all seven perfections, developing her body and mind to the peak of human performance. She remembers everything that has happened to her, in absolute clarity, a gift that will surely drive her mad. But before she goes, Manet must unravel a secret which threatens not only the carefully prepared myths of the God-King's ascent, but her own identity and the nature of truth itself.

The Builders

"The Magnificent Seven meets The Wind in the Willows in this action-packed fantasy adventure from Daniel Polansky, The Builders. A missing eye. A broken wing. A stolen country. The last job didn't end well. Years go by, and scars fade, but memories only fester. For the animals of the Captain's company, survival has meant keeping a low profile, building a new life, and trying to forget the war they lost. But now the Captain's whiskers are twitching at the idea of evening the score. PRAISE FOR THE BUILDERS 'A living, breathing world of vivid, winsome characters hellbent on their blaze of glory and as unforgiving as a runaway train carrying all your friends over a cliff. I haven't cared about animals this much since Watership Down.' — Delilah S. Dawson, author of Hit and Wicked as They Come 'Nobody does dark like Polansky. The Builders is Redwall meets Unforgiven, combining the endearing wit of Disney's Robin Hood with all the grit and violence of a spaghetti western.' — Myke Cole, author of the Shadow Ops series"
