Featuring Performances from the Original
Cast of the Award-Winning TV Series, Stolen Lives Continues the
Epic Saga of the X-Files Audio Drama Produced Exclusively for
Audible
Audible Studios, a production arm of Audible.com, announced the
release of an exclusive original audio production, The X-Files:
Stolen Lives, starring Golden Globe Award-winner David Duchovny as
Fox Mulder and Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winner Gillian Anderson
as Dana Scully. Joining Duchovny and Anderson in this follow-up
to The X-Files: Cold Cases are series regulars Mitch Pileggi
(Walter Skinner), William B. Davis (Cigarette-Smoking Man), and Tom
Braidwood, Dean Haglund, and Bruce Harwood (the Lone Gunmen). The
recording is based on the fan-favorite graphic novels by Joe
Harris, which were created with direction from series creator Chris
Carter. Adapted for audio by aural auteur Dirk Maggs, this
action-packed sequel is now available for download at
audible.com/stolenlives.
Stolen Lives brings listeners along on FBI agents Mulder
and Scully's paranormal investigations, while continuing the epic
storyline begun in Cold Cases. Of Cold Cases, Parade Magazine
raved, “the story is out of this world,” adding that Duchovny and
Anderson’s “chemistry is as electric as ever.”
As a new and more powerful threat emerges in Stolen Lives, those
believed to be enemies become unlikely allies and trusted friends
turn into terrifying foes. Mulder and Scully become unknowing
participants in a deadly game of deception and retribution, the
stakes of which amount to the preservation of humankind. Featuring
an otherworldly soundscape of demonic chants, flesh-eating swarms,
and hissing creatures, listeners will experience another
breathtaking adventure alongside this classic duo.
“X-Files: Stolen Lives doesn’t just pick up from where Cold
Cases left off,” said producer Dirk Maggs (Hitchhiker’s Guide to
the Galaxy). “It ramps up the tension and intrigue as Mulder and
Scully realize that the return of their oldest adversaries is more
than just happenstance. This sequence of immersive multicast audio
adventures takes Joe Harris’s stories to a whole new level.”
“Believers will not want to miss out on what Mulder and Scully
uncover next,” said Audible EVP and Publisher Beth Anderson.
“Stolen Lives will entertain and engross listeners with its twisted
plot and captivating sound design.”
The X-Files series originally premiered in September 1993,
rising from a breakout sci-fi favorite to one of the most
successful television dramas of all time. The show earned 16 Emmy
Awards, five Golden Globes and a Peabody Award. Twentieth-Century
Fox’s reboot of the X-Files TV series has brought more critical
acclaim; Season 11 is currently in production, slated for 2018. IDW
Publishing publishes more than 20 years’ worth of The X-Files
graphic novels, and continues to release new volumes of paranormal
mystery.

Praise for THE
X-FILES: COLD CASES
“The Audible series brings in a
truly fantastic twist: The characters are each voiced by the
original actors, so you can get your Mulder and Scully fix
via David Duchovny and Gillian
Anderson narrating their original characters. Their chemistry
is as electric as ever and the story is out of this world.” –
Parade Magazine
“Fans will be happy to hear that they're
together! Telling The X-Files stories in a new format
will still have the same feel fans remember. Plus, just imagine
Mulder and Scully talking directly into your ears ... that's
probably something you can get on board with.” – SyFy
“Fans are treated once again to Mulder and
Scully's irreplicable chemistry as only the series' leads could
deliver, Duchovny's deadpan and cynical aloofness finding its
natural counterpoint in Anderson's unwavering intelligence and
rigidity.” – Broadway World
“Between the depth of the intertwining stories,
the great acting, and the sheer nostalgia factor I’d say Cold
Cases is four hours well spent.” – Pop Culture Beast
“We got to hear some of the story from “Cold
Cases” and they sounded great, almost like listening to Mulder and
Scully talk on walkie-talkies.” – Bleeding Cool
“The content is bursting with both conspiracy
and moments of horror, just like the show, but what makes listening
to this book an absolute blast is the cast.” – Horror Fuel
