Awesome, thank you. CRussel recommended this in the 'Grab me from the first page' thread so put this audiobook on my wishlist at my library, now I don't have to wait.

Thank you! I read The Face-Changers years ago and this one, according to various reviews and CRussel is suppose to be just as great.

Thanks, Skinmann!
This is quite a treat! I really enjoy all of Thomas Perry's books, and the Shadow Woman series (of which Vanishing Act is book 1) is a particular favorite. The rest of the series is on sale at Tantor, with a $6.99 price for mp3 downloads (the latest is a little more money)-- there are half a dozen or so. No mention of how long the pricing is good. I typically only listen to audiobooks on long car trips, and typically rely on my library for those. But, I am sorely tempted..... KentE |

I really need to spend some money at Tantor to thank them for all these.

How many megabytes is the free download version? I have a faster connection at work that might help me download it faster...

The zip file (full version) took about 40 minutes to download on my probably-average home hi-speed DSL line. Tantor does give you the option of downloading a single chapter at a time if you have problems with large downloads. (Nice feature!).

I was rather surprised at how long the download took. I think it was about 30 minutes they must have some rather slow servers neither my Audiogo or Audible books take that long.
