The Hounds of Artemis (audio story)

The Hounds of Artemis is an exclusive-to-audio story from BBC Audio scheduled for release in April 2011. The story will be read by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan, marking the first time BBC Audio has had two actors perform an audio story since the revival in 2005.

The audiobook was given away free with the February 19th issue of The Guardian. This version, however, does not have Karen Gillian: Matt Smith instead covers her lines.

Publisher's summary
When Lord Woolcroft and his team break open the fabled Tomb of Artemis, sealed for thousands of years, they are astonished by what they find inside... The Doctor and Amy have come to Smyrna in 1929 to investigate a mystery. The Doctor knows something very bad happened there: something caused a lot of people to die and an entire, magnificent Temple to be found and then immediately lost again. But he doesn't know what is picking off the archaeologists one by one, or how it is connected to the terrifying howling in the night. And as he and Amy get closer to the terrible truth behind an ancient evil, he begins to wish he'd never found out.
