We recently won a copy of the audiobook app for The New Adventures of Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer, Vol. 1 from Blackstone Audio’s Facebook page. Neither of us at AudioBookFans have read any of the Mike Hammer books and if we do read one in the future we will probably start with the “old adventures” first.

You may wonder why we entered a contest for something we weren’t planning on using.. well we just couldn’t help it. We love trivia and games and one thing lead to another. Anyway we have no intention of wasting the prize so we thought we would offer it up to some lucky Mike Hammer fan.

These audiobook apps look pretty cool. We’ve never tried one of them out. If you win and want to write a review of the book and the iPhone app we would be happy to host it here.

New Adventures of Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer, Vol. 1

By Mickey Spillane, Max Allan Collins

ABRIDGED audiobook app for Apple iPad, iPhone & iPod Touch

Read by Stacy Keach, and a full cast

Approx 3 hrs.

Description from publisher:

Nobody writes mysteries like Mickey Spillane, and nobody solves them like Mike Hammer! The no-holds-barred private eye returns, this time in fully dramatized “theater-of-the-mind” audio adventures starring acclaimed actor Stacy Keach, complete with a full supporting cast, sound effects, and music.

While other detectives bend and manipulate the law, Hammer holds it in total contempt, seeing it as nothing more than an impediment to justice, the one virtue he holds in absolute esteem. Produced in association with the Mickey Spillane Estate, these brand new audio adventures follow the New York-based Mike Hammer in his self-appointed role of judge, jury, and executioner to an assortment of bad guys.

Hammer is supported in his quest for justice by his gorgeous secretary, Velda, along with Police Captain Pat Chambers, District Attorney Clarence Spencer, and Mike’s collection of New York City street people including: Ozzie the Answer, Maya, Mike’s next-door-neighbor and yoga teacher, Benny the Knife, Philly Brock, Moochie Burns and Dahlia—the curvaceous bartender of the Lite ‘N’ Easy Saloon. Even the show’s jazzy theme song, “Harlem Nocturne” by Earle Hagen, is back, which features a deeply melancholy saxophone, and sets the gritty tone for each episode.

“Keach’s deep resonant voice and his perfect timing with a quip or a threat combine to keep the listener enthralled….”
—Publishers Weekly

This collection features two brand new Mike Hammer mysteries penned by the writers of the original Mike Hammer TV series and a professional cast of actors led by Stacy Keach, who starred in the original series’ title role.
