Coming to Your Earbuds on November 25.
In just two weeks, Minute Men: Execute & Run arrives in audio from Tantor Media, a division of the world’s largest producer of literature for the ears.
Currently available for preorder from Amazon and Audible, the audiobook is read by Tom Beyer, a seasoned actor who has appeared in over 100 TV shows, films, and commercials.
Tom’s previous audiobook performances include Tough Rugged Bastards: A Memoir of a Life in Marine Special Operations, The Wehrmacht’s Last Stand, and The Ghost Army of World War II—all military adventures that offer a compelling preview of what to expect when the audio edition of Minute Men: Execute & Run releases on November 25.
If you’re an Audible member, you can use one of your credits to pre-order Minute Men: Execute & Run today.
And … if you’re not a member, you’ll be pleased to know that Amazon and Audible are currently offering no fewer than three special deals that are too good to pass up.
Here they are:
1. Pre-Order the Minute Men Audiobook for FREE!
This offer seems to be available only to folks who are not or have not recently had an Audible membership.
To find out if you qualify, simply go to the Minute Men: Execute & Run page on Amazon and see if the $0.00 audiobook offer appears. If it does, click on the free-trial button and follow the prompts to place your preorder. You can cancel your Audible membership anytime and still keep the book, but if you’re like me, you might keep the membership. With well over half a million titles to choose from, Audible is hard to beat.
The $0.00 offer does not seem to be available for folks who have been Audible members in the recent past. No matter. Audible also has a special deal for returning members.
2. Pre-Order the Minute Men Audiobook for $0.99!
If you’ve had an Audible account in the recent past, this offer should appear when you visit the Audible website.
In this case, when you pre-order MM: E&R for $0.99, you will receive a three-month membership that allows you to purchase two more books for $0.99 each. Again, you can cancel anytime.
3. Pre-Order the Minute Men Audiobook at a Discount
A recent check of the MM: E&R Amazon page lists the audiobook at a 13% discount (off the regular price of $17.49). Your offer may be different, depending on how the Amazon algorithms are running on any particular day. A recent article in the New York Times refers to this practice as “dynamic pricing.” But whatever you call it, you probably will find some form of discount when you visit the Minute Men page on Amazon.
Bottom line: There’s no time like right now to pre-order Minute Men: Execute & Run on audio.

Great read for Veterans!!!—Gabriella Godde
We’re particularly delighted by that last testimonial, which highlights one of Christopher’s objectives in developing the Minute Men IP. In his afterword to the novel, Chris writes about how the concept came to him while working with former Marines who made him aware of the “brave servicemembers who sometimes return home to battles they never expected.”
[FYI: To read more about Christopher’s early development of the Minute Men concept, check out a recent feature article by Robert Podurgiel in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.]
Professional Endorsements
In past installments, we shared blurbs from writers and editors in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres.
Here are two more:
The 60-second limit […] makes for dramatic pressure, and the constantly alternating POVs increase the narrative drive. Add a shady billionaire to the military mix […], and we have some uncommonly intense struggles! I enjoyed hanging with the characters who have much to overcome. May we see them on the silver screen sometime!—Danel Olson, two-time winner of the World Fantasy Award, editor of the critically acclaimed anthology series Exotic Gothic.
Minutemen: Execute & Run drops readers into the middle of the action with hardly an explanation, taking them along for the ride, and forcing them to use their own wits to figure out the who, what, where, when, and why. The action scenes sizzle off the pages, careening from cliffhanger to cliffhanger. With only 60 seconds at a time for the book’s heroes to use their newfound powers, the ever-present countdown pulls readers along this fast-paced tale filled with action, camaraderie, and sacrifice. Connolly expertly weaves in background stories for each of the characters, enhancing their depth while drawing the reader into their world. So strap in, gather your wits, and dive into this page-turner! You won’t be disappointed. —K. Ceres Wright, author of Cog, co-author of Too Old to Dance but Young Enough to Rock ‘n’ Roll.
We were particularly pleased the hear from K. Ceres Wright.
A few years back, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ceres at the Confluence Science Fiction Convention, where we talked about her novel Cog and her involvement with an annual writers conference called In Your Write Mind.
You can listen to that interview here.
