In a hardboiled dystopian future, one major American city has been divided in two. Separated by much more than a river, one side is an unfinished technological marvel populated by mega-skyscrapers where the wealthy live, work, and play. The other is a forsaken wasteland where order is strictly maintained by a rogue group of cleric soldiers known as the street preachers. But this dichotomy is about to change. Slowly, quietly, clandestine forces are working to undermine the small piece of redemption the street preachers have brought to their concrete flocks. In the face of watching their second chance crumble to dust, some will fight to stop it. Others will kill to make it happen.
A bold experiment in podcast fiction, The Failed Cities Monologues are told from the shifting perspectives of the characters who inhabit this world, twisted noir archetypes and cyberpunk warriors. Their lives and their stories are linked together by conspiracy, fate... and blood.

So thrilled to have come across this really superb book with its outstanding narration and production quality...especially the entirely appropriate music. It's a slow burn of gritty story line told from different character perspectives. Reminded me so much of the Tincture books...which you must read if you liked this book. I'm now on the look out for more books from this author. Bravo! A real treat indeed.

Read my review of TFCM here: http://podagogue.blogspot.com/2009/07/podcast-novel-review-failed-cities.html "Wallace is more than just a superb storyteller; he is writer of some of the best modern prose I have read or heard in a long time. He gets under his characters' skins, and through them, under his readers'/listeners' skins. You'll feel him ...

Mindblown. I enjoyed the story very much and must say the audio brings it to a new level. The living word somehow let me experience the plot and the characters more deeply, more vividly and more emotionally. Thanks to the author and the voice actors, technicians, etc... who made this ...

I really enjoyed this book. If you liked Sin City or similar storied, you will enjoy this book. I wish I could hear more about the characters introduced in this book. I hope Truck gets another vette, or learns to love porsches. I wonder if Stern gets his book published. ...

at first I didn't know if I would like it but the reviews were good so hay. I wound up totally loving the style it was like listening to a graphic novel. I could picture it very well done I hope to see more.

Wow. I've been listening to podcast literature for over three years. I've heard some of the brightest stars of the genre: Sigler, Morris, Harwood, Hutchins, Lowell and Rossi. This -- this is art.
