    Why Save the Bankers?: And Other Essays on Our Economic and Political Crisis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 301min
    Incisive commentary on the financial meltdown and its aftermath from the author of the best-selling global phenomenon Capital in the 21st Century. Thomas Piketty's work has proved that unfettered markets lead to increasing inequality. Without meaningful regulation, capitalist economies will concentrate wealth in an ever smaller number of hands. Armed with this knowledge, democratic societies face a defining challenge: fending off a new aristocracy. For years Piketty has wrestled with this problem in his monthly newspaper column, which pierces the surface of current events to reveal the economic forces underneath. Why Save the Bankers? brings together selected columns, now translated and annotated, from the period bookended by the September 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers and the Paris attacks of November 2015. In between, writing from the vantage point of his native France, Piketty brilliantly decodes the European sovereign debt crisis, an urgent struggle against the tyranny of markets that bears lessons for the world at large. And along the way, he weighs in on oligarchy in the United States, wonders whether debts actually need to be paid back, and discovers surprising lessons about inequality by examining the career of Steve Jobs. Coursing with insight and flashes of wit, these brief essays offer a view of recent history through the eyes of one of the most influential economic thinkers of our time. ungekürzt.

The captain of the football team. A girl like me? I wasn't even on his radar...not until he knew he couldn't have me. When our parents got married, everything changed. Felix and I moved in together. We became step siblings. My secret desire became my forbidden taboo. I hid it away, denied it existed, and tried to ignore my feelings and move on, but I couldn't. I couldn't avoid him. Those eyes, those abs, that smile. No matter how wrong, I couldn't stop thinking about him. No matter how forbidden, I just couldn't say no. My skin ached at his touch, pleasure coursing through my body in pulses. My knees weak, just to be in the same room. Then Felix told me how he felt, and my whole world crumbled around me. No matter how much we wanted it, no matter how much our hearts and our bodies ached with desire, we couldn't, could we? Not as step siblings. Not like that. There were rules weren't there?

    The MirrorMasters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 681min
    Leah Ellis never knew why she was abandoned on the beach at two years old. That is, until her life takes a bizarre turn when she begins seeing images in mirrors she can’t explain - cloaked figures using powers that manifest like lightning bolts, or flash-frozen beaches on another world beneath a purple sky. She practices mirror-gazing, driven to understand these images and their possible connection to her forgotten past, and discovers a wild, boundless power coursing through her veins. Soon, she learns to control what the mirror shows her. When new neighbors move in, Leah is shocked that they're dead ringers for the people in her visions. According to Brian, with the gorgeous ice-blue eyes, and his father, she is a MirrorMaster - an alien with a gift that lets her travel through mirrors, even to worlds light years away. Her birth parents sent them to take her back to her homeworld of Jantyr. But Leah’s long-lost birth sister activated an ancient device to trigger a cataclysm on Jantyr as a bid to consolidate her own power. Leah must return to Jantyr, master her newfound ability in order to disable the device, and thwart her sister’s plans. Otherwise, the destruction will consume the entire galaxy, including Earth and everyone she loves. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Melissa Schwairy.

    Lone Wolf: Olento Research, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 368min
    When one man can't reconcile with the wolf inside of him, he knows all he can do is run. Take the wolf with him and run away from those he doesn't want to hurt. But will that be his greatest mistake? The pack is coming together, but one wolf would rather be alone with his demons than united as a team. In the second installment in the Olento Research series, Connor runs from the Lucidite Institute and his pack, fearful of what the wolf will make him do. All of the men describe feeling the impulses, the desires that are unquenchable, coursing through them. But Connor knows he has a lesser chance of resisting those impulses due to his background. And after what he almost did to Adelaide, he can't risks it happening again. However, Mika hasn't given up and he's more driven to retrieve the werewolves he knows belong to him. He plants a mole in the Institute and then goes to work creating a werewolf meant to catch other werewolves. One that is stronger, faster and bigger than those in the original pack. Meanwhile Zephyr is quickly following leads and tracking down members of the pack, but will he be one step behind Olento Research? Can he rescue his team and stop Olento Research before they capture their would-be assassins? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Klett.

    The Haunting of Veronica Mansion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 129min
    She stood over herself staring down at it confused. She’d never had an out-of-body experience before. Looking down at her hands, she noticed they were wet; her eyes registered the wetness as blood. Shock and surprise filled her as she looked at her body, seeing a pool of blood, her blood, spilling out onto the wooden floor. Was she…dead? That couldn’t be, she had so much to still do with her life, plans she had made, a bucket list never completed. She turned around looking for the door. This had to just be a bad dream. Her eyes fell on the shadow of a man, his face hidden from the dawn spilling in through the windows behind him. A dark smile consumed his face as he looked down at the body before him, “Thanks for playing.” A smooth voice began, “But it seems that you have lost the game.” He turned, heading for a door, closing and locking it behind him. She could feel disbelief coursing through her, she should know him; she should have known what happened, but all she knew at that moment was that she’d been tricked and that she was dead. Sorrow began to fill her being. Awash with the emotion, she moved ethereally to the window, looking out it at the figure slowly retreating down the hill. She would stay; she would stay here to warn the next person, and the next, until someone got the clue. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Jenkins.

    Body Electric: Mystic City, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 498min
    EXCLUSIVE! Audible Studios presents Body Electric exclusively in audio. Aria Rose has powers. After ingesting a mystic heart, she now has the same magical energy coursing through her body as the other mystics in New York: she can fly, has super-human strength, and can take on the appearance of any person she wants. This is especially helpful as she is no longer speaking to Hunter, the mystic rebel she abandoned her family to love, and Turk - Hunter’s best friend who is crazy about Aria - is acting a little too clingy. Aria doesn’t want a boyfriend. She wants a revolution. With the help of her new friends, Aria is now leading the city’s rebellion. Her brother Kyle has control of the Aeries, and is using his influence to bomb the Depths and destroy everyone who lives there. Meanwhile, he is secretly in discussions with neighboring cities to allow them to overtake Manhattan completely, wipe out the population, and start from scratch. Aria has given up everything to fight for equal rights for the people of New York. She’s their only voice—a voice that is about to be silenced, as it soon becomes clear that the mystic energy in her body is poisoning her. There’s no doubt about it: Aria will die. The only question is whether she can save the city she loves so desperately from destruction before she expires. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amy Finegan.

    Querencia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 301min
    Born in Boston, Stephen Bodio wandered into Magdalena, New Mexico, in the 1970s while on his way to Montana and never left. He was accompanied by Betsy Huntington, who was twenty years his senior; the couple had been inseparable from the day they met. After stumbling upon a vintage home along the highway, they settled into a country life; it was the perfect way for the two of them to make their lives together in an out-of-the-way place. It's through Bodio that Betsy's story is painted in such memorable passages that soon captivate listeners. Together they made their home among the mountains of New Mexico, returning to a simple life of hunting, falconry, and becoming acquainted with the local reptiles and insects of the desert. A lover of nature, Bodio here explains in vivid detail his time spent in the wilderness. He found himself the center of his neighbors' attention when they discovered his endless fascination with the local fauna, from snakes and birds to coursing dogs. He became accustomed to Magdalena through the people and wildlife, even joining in the biggest festival on the calendar: The Quemado Rodeo, better known by locals as the Street Dance and Brawl. From the Spanish term meaning "the heart's true home," Querencia captivates and settles the heart. It is an astonishing listen for those looking for an escape from the hustle of the big city, or just seeking to find solitude in the country life. ungekürzt. Language: English.
