Last year we told you about the first audio drama in The Extraordinary Adventures of G.A. Henty series, Under Drake's Flag, and now we have news that the next production in the series is available for preorder. In Freedom's Cause follows the story of the Scottish hero William Wallace and, though not affiliated with Focus on the Family, it was contributed to by Adventures in Odyssey crew members such as recording engineer Mark Drury, sound designer Rob Jorgensen, composer John Campbell, writer John Fornof and casting director Philip Glassborow. And its cast features some people you might recognize as well. It stars actors such as Billy Boyd (Pippin from The Lord of the Rings), Joanne Froggatt (Anna from Downton Abbey), Skandar Keynes (Edmund from The Chronicles of Narnia), and James Cosmo (Campbell from Braveheart). In Freedom's Cause comes out in early November. You can preorder your own digital download or CD set of the two-hour audio drama here.
