Notes:
While the audio quality of the three books is superb, the very last phrase of book 03 and the end credits are of low quality.
Effinger started work on a fourth Audran novel ‘Word of Night, but died before that work was completed. The existing chapters of ‘Word of Night’ are available in the ‘Budayeen Nights’ anthology (no audio produced, epub included). Another Budayeen pice from this anthology won him the Hugo and Nebula.

Publisher’s description, book 01:
“In a decadent world of cheap pleasures and easy death, Marid Audrian has kept his independence the hard way. Still, like everything else in the Budayeen, he’s available for a price.
For a new kind of killer roams the streets of the Arab ghetto, a madman whose bootlegged personality cartridges range from a sinister James Bond to a sadistic disemboweler named Khan. And Marid Audrian has been made an offer he can’t refuse.The 200-year-old godfather of the Budayeen’s underworld has enlisted Marid as his instrument of vengeance. But first Marid must undergo the most sophisticated of surgical implants before he dares to confront a killer who carries the power of every psychopath since the beginning of time.

Wry, savage, and unignorable, ‘When Gravity Fails’ was hailed as a classic by Effinger’s fellow SF writers on its original publication in 1987, and the sequence of Marid Audrian novels it begins were the culmination of his career.”
