This is a just-recorded audio book entry of the first chapter.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is experimental as I have mixed thoughts about recording the audiobook for my own fiction.  Recording for one of my non-fictions makes sense as it is similar to me giving a talk, a seminar or even a podcast episode on an idea.  However, an epic fiction such as this, with nuances, and characters of different ages and genders is something else entirely.  I do not know if it is something I could represent properly\u2014even though I am the author.  What if my voice does not represent what i am experiencing (or what you should be experiencing) in the story?  That&#8217;s really important to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless, I thought it a good change of pace.
