I'm not sure if this is the world's first German-language podcast novel, but I'm going to claim it is until someone corrects me. I'm modest like that. In fact, I'm going to get nutty and claim this is the first-ever non-English podcast novel! World Conquest continues unabated.

Richard Levy is an English Junkie (from Derbyshire) who now lives in Germany (Schorndorf) and took it upon himself to podcast EARTHCORE. He's using the German version of EARTHCORE, translated by Michael Krug and published by Otherworld Verlag (and available in hardcover by clicking here).

EARTHCORE is read by Torsten Fuchs, who is just fucking awesome. I don't understand a word he says (except a strange reference to "struedel") but I could listen to him all day. I cue up the episodes and let them run in the background while I write. Music is provided by the band Gebrueder-Roehrich. Rock on, mein freund!

I think this is pretty kick-ass. If you have German-speaking friends, please turn them on to this podcast. Richard is busting his buns to produce this bad boy, so if you know some people lets get them listening in. And, of course, it's free.

Day-yum this is sweet! The German publisher of EARTHCORE just posted a trailer to YouTube. You say you can't find a copy of EARTHORE for less than $65? Well, problem solved, all you have to do is learn to speak another language. Your FDO™ has always got your back.

Submitted by -Geoff in StL: Looks like Ze Germans are messing with stuff they should NOT be messing with. Read this article and tell me they didn't read and love EARTHCORE, because they are following the EARTHCORE plot to a T. Um, German dudes? Might be more than gold in them thar hills ...

THE STORY: DEUTSCHKATHARINENBERG, Germany - German treasure hunters began digging Tuesday for what they say may be plunder buried by the Nazis in a man-made cavern near the Czech border.

German EARTHCORE coverFun stuff here, Junkies. Looks like ze German print version of EARTHCORE will be out in June, 2008, and in hardcover! I'm fired up. No, I don't know German, but I'm still fired up.

German publisher Otherworld Verlag snatched up EARTHCORE in January 2007. There was a lot of interest for other languages, and for translations of ANCESTOR, but the Death Star known as "Crown Publishing" swept in and destroyed all foreign sorties before we could close any more deals. Crown wants to dish out the forieign rights for everything, starting with a big focus on INFECTED (yeah, German rights for that puppy are already a done deal).

Interesting decision to sort of change the cover, instead of using the magical graphics of Kevin Capizzi. This is the world of "normal" publishing, which is to say I have never spoken a word to Verlag. They've made all the decisions and seem to be rolling along.

What? You speak German? Well hell, Junkie, CLICK HERE to go get yours.
