Podfic: A Road Too Far by Sylvanwitch

Title: A Road Too Far
Author: sylvanwitch
Fandom, Pairing: Generation Kill, Brad/Nate
Rating: Mature
Author's Summary: April 2006. Bermel District, Paktika Province, Afghanistan. In the most dangerous corner of the most dangerous country in the world, Nate Fick, aka Nick Frazier, makes arms deals for the CIA under the cover of a civilian aid worker. At Firebase Shkin, aka "The Alamo," Brad Colbert trains Afghani counter-terrorist teams and wonders why he chose to serve. The men they were meet the men they've become and discover that some things are even more treacherous than the forty klicks of IED-riddled, insurgent-shadowed road that divide them.
Reader's Notes: This is an author with whom you can never go wrong, but she's really outdone herself here. Reading something aloud always changes the experience of the story, and in this case, the recording really brought out (at least in my mind) the melancholy feel of a country and a people forced to live with war, damaged by it, but not beaten. The Nate and Brad of this story provide a striking parallel, in the men they've become since the series's end: older and perhaps wiser men, but not gentle.

I'm so excited to see this! I loved the job you did on the other two long GK podfics of yours I've listened to (Don't You Shake Alone and To Shame the Devil), and I haven't read this story, so it looks like I'm in for a treat.

BTW, the phone call between Brad and Ray at the end of the first part of To Shame the Devil? Awesome job. Your voicing of Ray's "Oh, shit" when he hears "I said turn around, Sergeant Colbert," is absolutely hilarious to me for some reason.

After i went ahead and posted a bunch of others, I got to thinking I'd messed this up. Thanks for the heads-up!

Fantastic. ;)

Aw, thank you! This one is a bit different in tone than those two—less angsty, but more melancholy, I guess?—but very much worth the read/listen, in my opinion. I hope you find it so as well.

It means so much when people pick out specific details that they enjoyed. Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me that. ;)
