Serializing a New Novel

I have this big, brand new urban fantasy novel that I've written (for now let's just call it by a codename: "Fallen 8″). It's about a cult of demon hunters. I wanted to really polish it up so I hired (at great expense) an outside editor who has worked with Stephen King, Kevin J. Anderson and Isaac Asimov. I think we've been able to polish this manuscript into something really amazing. It's extremely cinematic, full of non-stop action and has some incredible thematic elements. It could be the best thing I've ever written.

In short, if you've enjoyed any of my previous work, including "Shadow Falls", "Number One with a Bullet", "Diary of a Madman", you're gonna flip over this book.

And so the question becomes: How best to get this book out there to you? All of the fiction I've released in eBook form had been, at one point, podcast for free. This book doesn't have an audience… yet.

So, I'm contemplating a couple of ideas. Basically, they are all variations of a similar theme: divide this one big book into two books and then give you the first book for free.

Giving you the first book for free is a risk I'm willing to assume. I could give you the free book in a couple of different ways. I can break it up into 16 serialized podcast episodes, I can release it on Smashwords as a free eBook download. I can post the serialized chapters here on Wordsushi.

That all seems easy. The question is what to do after week 16, after getting you hooked on this crack-like storyline.

Here are my ideas:

A) Put out the 2nd book, in its entirety, as an ebook for sale. Most likely, it would be packaged together with the first book so you'd get both books for an affordable price  ($2.99 to $4.99) and would include bonus material from book 1 not included in the podcast/free versions.
B) Use the sale of the ebook as a mini Kickstarter-like campaign to raise money to produce a free serialized podcast of the second book. Give it a reasonable goal (maybe selling 2,500 copies) If you liked the first book enough, I'd hope you spend $3-$5 to help fund it, even if you're not an ebook reader kind of person.
C) Actually do a Kickstarter campaign and try to raise $4K or so. Give away some nice freebies to those who donate. Maybe even use it to find creation of a physical print copy of both books together (something of course that would be made free to those who donated a certain pre-determined amount to the Kickstarter campaign).

Basically, if I do this, I'd probably do some kind of combination of the above.

Thoughts?
