Perseverance: The Athanasian Realm, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 970min
Many moons have passed since Adicia left the Isle of Wisdom, but finally Garnrin - the ancient who warned of the towers’ impending destruction - has been found. With Athanasia’s children exhibiting strange new powers and the Mahtma’s influence growing, the tower Leaders need guidance - but Garnrin isn’t about to just give it away. When they finally return home, Adicia, Gara, and Tavis are followed by a cohort of centuries-old scholars who, in their younger days, proudly served the towers. These ancients are shocked by what they find: the towers they once knew are gone. In their place, self-proclaimed masters struggle with apprentice-level spells and corrupt elders bicker among themselves. Even the tower leaders are weak and ignorant of their true roles - and above all this chaos, the Mahatma bides her time. But Adicia will not stand idly by while her towers crumble. She knows time is running out: beyond the borders, the demon-worshippers of Tenebrosity grow restless, and their corruption may be even closer than it seems....Perseverance is the epic sequel to Deceived!, M.C. Colon’s first fantasy novel. It is a tale of intrigue, action, and romance, and is sure to appeal to fans of fantasy and adventure alike. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniela Acitelli.

To the Best of Our Knowledge: Demanding Democracy, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
In this hour, philosopher Cornel West is one of the most visible public intellectuals in the U.S. Tavis Smiley is – after Oprah – the best known black media figure in the country. They co-host a weekly public radio talk show, in which they frequently take on the mainstream media and the political establishment. Both of which they blame for ignoring the disenfranchisement of the working poor. Steve Paulson talks with them about the state of American democracy. Then, Vice President Joe Biden has called him a “high tech terrorist.” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says his work “tears at the fabric of responsible governments.” His supporters include the hacker group Anonymous, which brought down the websites of Visa, Mastercard and PayPal in his name. We’re talking about Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks and one of the most controversial figures of our time. Whether you agree with him or not, Assange’s work grows out of a strong commitment to using information technology to foster democracy. Anne Strainchamps reached Assange in England, where he’s under house arrest. He spoke with her outdoors, from a cell phone, on a windy day.Next, historian John D'Emilio is the author of Lost Prophet: The Life and Times of Bayard Rustin. D'Emilio tells Jim Fleming that Rustin was crucial to the civil rights movement but has been forgotten because he was gay. And finally, Keli Carender is a Seattle area blogger considered by many to be the very first Tea Party activist. She tells Steve Paulson what the first protests were like.

Bonds of Vengeance: Winds of the Forelands, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1215min
For nine hundred years the Forelands knew peace, but unrest among the magical Qirsi people has blossomed into a conspiracy against the Eandi rulers. What started with an occasional "accidental" death of a lord has exploded into violence, rending the fabric of Forelands society. Led by a mysterious Qirsi "Weaver" with powers that can reach into the minds of others even in their sleep, the rebellion is now turning Qirsi against Qirsi, as it weakens alliances among the Eandi. Some Qirsi ministers are torn between plotting to overthrow the Eandi and staying loyal to their lords; others have been ready for a rebellion for a long time and are active in the burgeoning and increasingly violent rebellion. Even some Qirsi who oppose the rebellion are forced to take sides against their lords, while an Eandi lord in league with the conspiracy prepares for war against rival houses. Yet as the world tilts toward terrible upheaval, some stand firm against the chaos. Grinsa, a Qirsi gleaner, is trying to head off the war he knows would spell disaster for his own people as well as the Eandi. Traveling with Lord Tavis of Curgh as the young noble seeks revenge on the assassin who killed his betrothed and thus set the chaos in motion, Grinsa may be the only person who can stop the Weaver from shattering the long peace. But even Grinsa can't do it alone. His sister, Keziah, archminister to King Kearney, himself a staunch advocate of peace, works to prevent war, too. They may be too late, though, as realms plunge toward war, goaded by traitors within their gates. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alpha Trivette.

Deceived: The Athanasian Realm, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1037min
One thousand years ago, the Towers on the Isle of Wisdom were beacons of hope. Originally started to train sorcerers, clerics, and warriors to protect the Athanasian Realm, the Towers gave the people a sense of security against the enemies in the Tenebrosity Realm. But when the original Tower members left, that peace was shattered, and now, the Towers have fallen into a state of decline. Now run by the Merila, the Mahatma, the Towers are not what they used to be. Magic users are practically impotent. The knowledge of the past has been hidden away, keeping everyone complacent and weak. Protecting the Athanasian Realm seems almost impossible now. When the current Luminary, Eliza, is poisoned and loses her powers, Merila appoints Eliza’s Second, Adicia, to the position. Adicia, though, isn’t quite as gullible and naïve as Merila thinks she is. When things start spiraling out of control around the time of the Springtime Celebration, Adicia and he friends Tavis and Gara discover things aren’t quite what they seem. Orc attacks, ignored cries for help, and youth with magic abilities that haven’t been seen in years force Adicia and her friends on a quest to track down the only man who can help them. There’s only one problem - Garnrin is not only retired, he’s also the only one who can bring Merila down. Adicia and her friends must fight rogue magic users, goblins, and hell hounds, all while trying to uncover the truth about the Towers, the Realm, and everything in-between. Can they bring the Towers back to their former glory, or will their quest lead to the destruction of the entire Athanasian Realm? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniela Acitelli.

Travels of a Renaissance Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 128min
Travels of a Renaissance Man is one man's experience discovering what lies beyond the cities and borders of America. Ezekiel Phillips' travel journey began in 2007 when popular television personality and philanthropist Tavis Smiley, along with his pastor Bishop Noel Jones, showed love by sponsoring Phillips on a mission trip to the African city of Accra in the nation of Ghana. From that experience, the California native spring boarded into more than 16 different international excursions. Combine these life changing experiences with Phillips' dynamic film-making ability, and you get a rare behind the scenes glimpse into life on the ground in less developed nations like the Philippines and Haiti. Ezekiel Phillips has risen beyond the confines of his Los Angeles neighborhood, known as "The Jungles", to become a 2011 graduate of Morehouse College with a goal to inspire others through his travels. His self-proclaimed guerilla-style film-making takes a no permits, no permission, bold, and sometimes dangerous approach to show viewers life raw and uncut as it happens on international soil. This Renaissance man documents his travels with video and shares them with his loyal followers. The experiences captured during his travels enable him to add value to people's lives that have yet to embrace globalization and travel. As a result of exposing himself to new cultures, communities, and people, Phillips collaborates with like-minded young adults for both personal and communal gain. According to Ezekiel, the next step to his maturing process is building strong relationships with emerging young leaders to bring social change across the globe. Travel is only a small portion of this vision. Phillips says the evolution of his character through travel is allowing him to embrace his responsibility and calling to bring about real change and upward mobility in ghettos across the globe. ungekürzt.
