Thanks for the question and so sorry I haven't responded sooner, I have only just see this. I'm delighted to say that The Way Up Is Death WILL be released on audio! It's just a case of timing, as we don't have a date yet, but we're expecting it to be a couple of months most likely. I will be shouting about it as soon as I know. The narrator they've chosen is fab though, so I'm really excited to hear his take on the story. :)

The Way Up is Death by Dan Hanks
"I loved this book as much as I hated the character of Dirk. Which is a lot. Lol.

Super cool, fascinating, trippy, and tragic. "
The Way Up is Death by Dan Hanks
"Okay I have a sappy and kind of weirdly woo woo review coming in.

I loved this book. Man did I hate Dirk. To the point of where I wanted to rate this book lower and then I thought that that is actually a sign of how well this author wrote the book.

"Dear Dan Hanks,

I don't review much anymore because the bar has been lowered too far for good writing and good genre.

Really great Science Fiction is so hard to find these days and you managed to wrap a morality tale hidden within a SciFi tale. I did n" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Dan Hanks  (?)

“This stuff was the DNA of everything he had been as a child and everything he had wanted to be as a grown up.”
Dan Hanks, Swashbucklers

“Then you grow up. You discover life doesn't work out for most people, you'll fuck you'll have regrets, the nightmares you had will never truly leave you, but those friendships you treasured will. And that magic you remembered so well? It's just a memory now. A feeling you can't really explain and can't ever get back.”
Dan Hanks, Swashbucklers

“The nostalgia might have held him back, but it had also kept him alive.”
Dan Hanks, Swashbucklers

“Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, absurd, or contemptible, and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently prefer.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
