I’m pleased to see that Interstellar Patrol: Federation of Humanity is now out, providing a new 17-hour audiobook for Christopher Anvil’s late 1960s Interstellar Patrol series. Which is not to be confused with the Hamilton Interstellar Patrol of the late 1920s and 1930s in Weird Tales, the one-plot wonder that Lovecraft was so tepid about. I’ve blogged here previously about the later and different Christoper Anvil and the Interstellar Patrol series if you want to know more.

A follow-up audiobook, Interstellar Patrol II, is set for September 2020.

Regrettably we’re not told which stories are included, or in what order they’re presented. Is this a complete reading of all the stories? I assume the audiobooks are straight readings of two print/ebook collections, the first titled Interstellar Patrol (2003), and the second Interstellar Patrol II: The Federation of Humanity (2005). These collected all the stories. But the potential listener might like a little more reassurance on that point, before they crack open their Paypal for £18 per.
