Announcing VICARIOUS
Months ago, I had the privilege of narrating about half of an incredible audiobook that comes out today. It’s called VICARIOUS.
Award-winning performers Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Big Bang Theory, and Ready Player One audiobook) and Katherine McNamara (Shadowhunters, The Stand, CW’s Arrow) bring this mind-bending, deeply imagined sci-fi tale to life.
The real world is only where you breathe….
In High Earth, digital entertainment is everything. Shows. Virtual worlds. Simulations – there’s something for everybody in a city where working for a living has been rendered obsolete by technological advancements. Even a short walk outside to visit with others is no longer necessary. Just load into the network and you can be with anyone, anywhere.
For Asher Reinhart, nothing compares to Ignis; a live reality show that pushes human beings to their very extremes. As a volunteer director, Asher closely monitors the lives of those living on an interstellar ark, believing they’re the last of humanity.
But when it’s determined that the life of the show’s brightest star, Mission, must be put in danger to boost declining ratings, Asher is forced to choose: the show he loves or the woman whose existence has been the focus of his attention since the day he was born.
From number-one Audible best-selling author and Nebula Award nominee Rhett C. Bruno comes a story about the power of human connection. The Truman Show meets Ready Player One in a novel perfect for fans of Hugh Howey, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Michael Crichton.
This story is so fantastic, and I’m super proud of the work we both did with the narration.

Wil.
Flipping auto-correct. I am sorry
It happens, no worries. I’m just psyched you like the work!
That sounds great! I’m going to buy it right now.
Downloaded and ready to go! Really looking forward to listening.
Purchased! It is so nice to look forward to something – I can’t wait to listen. Thanks!
Wil it’s good to keep that voice acting alive. From what I hear that’s the new stable for actors to make an extra buck. Mark Hammil is doing a lot of voice work after Star Wars and such he’s making all kinds of money. Audio books are also in that genre. I wish you luck in it.
On my wish list! Thanks for letting us know. (RSS 4FR!)
Wil, I’ve listened to almost every book you’ve narrated and you are definitely maturing in your delivery. I listened to the Audible sample of Vicarious and your voice is richer, deeper and more natural. Can’t wait to listen to the whole book. Thanks Wil. You’ve found one of your niches.
