Gary Phillips' Hollis P.I. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 389min
Gary Phillips' Nate Hollis leaps from the comics to his first complete prose collection. Authors Juliet Blackwell, Bobby Nash, Aaron Philip Clark, and Derrick Ferguson join Phillips to create six double barreled tales of mystery and action. The streets are mean, but they don't hold a stick of dynamite to Hollis, P.I. From creator Gary Phillips and Pro Se Productions."P.I. Nate Hollis originally sprang from the rich imagination of LA-based writer Gary Phillips, but he's so real and tactile he could climb off the page and buy you a bourbon. Now, four other authors are getting a piece of Nate, too, and this latest collection of Nate stories is wonderful. This is contemporary noir at its best, offering all the familiar pleasures of the genre, but giving them a modern makeover. Yes, this is a violent world that Nate inhabits, but he steers a true and moral course through the layers of deception, skullduggery, and sometimes worse that make these stories such high-density entertainment. Nate's a great character and these stories do him justice and more. " (T. Jefferson Parker, author of The Famous and the Dead) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ferdie Luthy.

Old School , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 389min
The author of the genre-defining memoir This Boy’s Life, the PEN/Faulkner Award-winning novella The Barracks Thief, and short stories acclaimed as modern classics, Tobias Wolff now gives us his first novel.Determined to fit in at his New England prep school, the narrator has learned to mimic the bearing and manners of his adoptive tribe while concealing as much as possible about himself. His final year, however, unravels everything he’s achieved and steers his destiny in directions no one could have predicted. The school’s mystique is rooted in literature, and for many boys, this becomes an obsession, editing the review and competing for the attention of visiting writers whose fame helps to perpetuate the tradition. Robert Frost, soon to appear at JFK’s inauguration, is far less controversial than the next visitor, Ayn Rand. But the final guest is one whose blessing a young writer would do almost anything to gain.No one writes more astutely than Wolff about the process by which character is formed, and here, he illuminates the irresistible power, even the violence, of the self-creative urge. Resonant in ways at once contemporary and timeless, Old School is a masterful achievement by one of the finest writers of our time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Cashman.
