    The Green Odyssey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 349min
    Alan Green, space-wrecked on a populated but backward planet, has survived for two years as a slave with no hope of rescue. Then, one day, news of spacemen landing in a remote city gives him his only chance of ever returning home. All he has to do is escape slavery, travel thousands of miles, free the spacers from prison before they are executed, and get aboard their spaceship. Philip Jose' Farmer's first full-length novel, The Green Odyssey, is an uproarious, hell-bent adventure story combining fantasy, imagination, and science with a liberal dash of humor. It is in the best tradition of adventure science fiction, a swashbuckling tale of a resourceful spaceman who is, however, uneasily aware that he may have been miscast. Fortunately, he has the assistance of a large, gorgeous, energetic, and adoring female who is supremely confident of his ability to handle all comers. With her help, that is. ungekürzt.

    Siege , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 642min
    This is humanity's last stand. Threatened on all sides by enemies they can't fight and often can't even comprehend, the human race has taken refuge in an inhospitable corner of the galaxy. A tiny pocket of habitable space concealed by black holes and dust clouds, hiding a cluster of colonies where the last humans in the galaxy reside, preparing themselves for a war of annihilation against all comers. Crystallia is a hidden military base that guards the access route to the colonies. The main mission of the soldiers there is to remain undetected for as long as possible, to spot any incursions from the outside, and to hit them with everything in humanity's arsenal. No one is quite convinced that this strategy will be enough to save the colonies or even to create enough of a delay for some of the colonists to escape. The best bet for the human race is to remain concealed. Unfortunately, something has found them. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Doug Greene.

    Arbitrary Stupid Goal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 235min
    In Arbitrary Stupid Goal, Tamara Shopsin takes the listener on a pointillist time-travel trip to the Greenwich Village of her bohemian 1970s childhood, a funky, tight-knit small town in the big city, long before Sex and the City tours and luxury condos. The center of Tamara's universe is Shopsin's, her family's legendary greasy spoon, aka "The Store", run by her inimitable dad, Kenny - a loquacious, contrary, huge-hearted man who, aside from dishing up New York's best egg salad on rye, is Village sheriff, philosopher, and fixer all at once. All comers find a place at Shopsin's table and feast on Kenny's tall tales and trenchant advice along with the incomparable chili con carne. Told in a sly, elliptical narrative that is both hilarious and endearing, Arbitrary Stupid Goal is an offbeat memory-book mosaic about the secrets of living an unconventional life, which is becoming a forgotten art. This program is read by the author. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.

    Goblinopolis: The Tol Chronicles, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 606min
    On a planet where magic and technology are inextricably intertwined, Tol, a gruff inner-city Goblin cop, finds himself in the unlikely role of savior when the world's access to The Slice, a reservoir of magical energy, is threatened by a fiendish criminal plot. And life is only getting more complicated for Tol as the Chosen One, when his younger brother becomes king by defeating all comers in a network hacking contest, only to then staff his cabinet with the legendary and nefarious hacker, Boogla. And not helping Tol in the least are the intrepid reporter Selpla and her crew as they battle their way to the uber story of the century, through magical superstorms, vicious wildlife, and a robot that grafts random animal parts onto wandering pets.

Ferrell has crafted an entirely new comedic world of magic, mayhem, and technocracy that devoted listeners of Terry Pratchett's Discworld will love and new fantasy listeners will devour and be left wanting more. ungekürzt.

    Defeating ISIS: Who They Are, How They Fight, What They Believe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 849min
    ISIS - the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria - has taken on the mantle of being the single most dangerous terrorist threat to global security since al-Qaeda. In Defeating ISIS, internationally renowned intelligence veteran, author, and counterterrorism expert Malcolm Nance gives an insider's view to explain the origins of this occult group, its violent propaganda, and how it spreads its ideology throughout the Middle East and to disaffected youth deep in the heart of the Western world. Most importantly, Defeating ISIS gives a step-by-step analysis of the street-level tactics the group has employed in assaults against fortified targets, in urban combat, and during terrorist operations such as those in Paris during the November 13 attacks. As much as ISIS is a threat to Western targets and regional stability in the Middle East, Nance describes not only its true danger as a heretical death cult that seeks to wrest control of Islam through young ideologues and redefine Islam as a fight to the death against all comers, but also how to defeat it. Defeating ISIS is the first highly detailed look into the organization by one of the world's foremost authorities in counterterrorism. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Kramer.

    Color Blind: The Forgotten Team That Broke Baseball's Color Line , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 651min
    During the Great Depression, out in drought stricken North Dakota, one of the most improbable teams in the history of baseball was put together by one of the sport's most unlikely champions. In Bismarck, a decade before Jackie Robinson broke into the Major Leagues, car dealer Neil Churchill signed the best players he could find, regardless of race, and fielded an integrated squad that took on all comers in spectacular fashion. Color Blind, from award-winning journalist Tom Dunkel, tells this remarkable, largely forgotten story. When baseball swept America in the years after the Civil War, independent, semi-pro, and municipal leagues sprouted up everywhere. Color Blind immerses the reader in the wild and wonderful world of independent baseball, with its tough competition and its novelty - from all-brother teams and a prison team (who only played home games, naturally) to one from a religious commune that sported Old Testament beards. Dunkel traces the rise of the Bismarck squad, and follows them through their ups and downs, focusing on the 1935 season, and the first National Semi-Pro Tournament in Wichita, Kansas. This is an entertaining, must-listen audiobook for anyone interested in the history of baseball. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ben Bartolone.

    Mansun: A Rockview Audiobiography, Hörbuch, Digital, 23min
    Mansun, from Chester, UK, comprised of guitarist Paul Draper, bassist Stove King, guitarist and vocalist Dominic Chad and drummer Andy Rathbone. The band were originally called Grey Lantern but then changed their name to Mansun. The band were noted for changing their fashion styles as quickly as they changed their musical styles. Mansun were always shrouded in controversy and the music press painted them as a band of rock n' roll excess, leaving a trail of smashed up hotel rooms in their wake. When the music industry scrambled to sign them they chose to release their second single on their own label but eventually signed to Parlophone in the UK and Epic in the USA. With success at the Reading Festival and T in the Park Festival the music industry was at their feet and they were voted best new comers at the Brit Awards, with their album at number 1. This is not a music release by the band or record company and sound quality may vary. From support to David Bowie, to sitting on top of the charts Mansun shot to stardom. On this audiobiography we hear how the band planned their success, the pressures of life on the road and what their music was all about, a must for fans, collectors and music historians.
