Publisher's Summary:

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of A Long Way Down, Nick Hornby's hilarious best seller about strangers and secrets, now a major motion picture starring Rosamund Pike and Pierce Brosnan.

'Can I explain why I wanted to jump off the top of a tower block?'

For disgraced TV presenter Martin Sharp the answer's pretty simple: He has, in his own words, 'pissed his life away'. And on New Year's Eve, he's going to end it all.... But not, as it happens, alone. Because first single-mum Maureen, then 18-year-old Jess, and lastly American rock-god JJ turn up and crash Martin's private party. They've stolen his idea - but brought their own reasons. Yet it's hard to jump when you've got an audience queuing impatiently behind you. A few heated words and some slices of cold pizza later and these four strangers are suddenly allies. But is their unlikely friendship a good enough reason to carry on living?

Publisher's Summary:

Jack Madigan is, by many accounts, blessed. He can still effortlessly turn a pretty head. And thanks to his legendary rock star father, he lives an enviable existence in a once-glorious, now-crumbling Boston town house with his teenage son, Harlan. But there is one tiny drawback: Jack is an agoraphobe. As long as his dad's admittedly dwindling royalties keep rolling in, Jack's condition isn't a problem. But then the money runs out... and all hell breaks loose.

The bank is foreclosing. Jack's ex is threatening to take Harlan to California. And Lucinda, the little girl next door, won't stay out of his kitchen . . . or his life. To save his sanity, Jack's path is clear, albeit impossible - he must outwit the bank's adorably determined real estate agent, win back his house, keep his son at home, and, finally, with Lucinda's help, find a way back to the world outside his door.

Critic Reviews:

"An agoraphobe fights to save his house, his son and his sanity in Cohen's comic, big screenready debut...Cohen's affinity for her nut-job characters is infectious and will keep readers involved as the plot reaches its peachy end." (Publishers Weekly)

"Rising above its obvious, overly tidy plotting, this highly readable first novel offers plenty of sardonic humor and a cast of endearing eccentrics." (Booklist)

Publisher's Summary:

The story moves back and forth in time from the arrival of Thea from her isolated village in arctic Norway in search of a new life in the near wilderness of a small town and logging camp on the shore of Lake Superior to the travails of her orphaned son, Odd, some twenty years later. When Theas aunt and uncle do not meet her boat as planned, shes initially left abandoned with no money or prospects and without speaking the language. Befriended by a local businessman and apothecary with secrets of his own, she obtains work as a cook in the nearby logging camp. While living through one of the coldest and threatening winters in memory, she is raped by an itinerant peddler and petty criminal. She delivers the baby in a blinding snowstorm the next fall, attended by her original benefactor and his daughter, who is also the towns surgeon and midwife, but she soon dies of childbirth complications. The apothecary, Grimm, takes the infant into his household and the boy is raised more or less by the entire town, eventually growing up under Grimms influence to be a fisherman, smuggler for Grimms whiskey trade, and a boat builder. Still, he struggles to find himself and to reconcile the loss of his mother, and he becomes increasingly troubled by Grimms criminal enterprises and dirty secrets until an unlikely love affair puts everything on a collision course.

Publisher's Summary:

In a Seattle houseboat community, the artistic spirit that has flourished since the 1950s may have ended one life, yet saved another.

On Seattle's Lake Union floats Boat Street.

In present day, Ada Santorini is drawn to the same floating home, hoping its gentle rocking will lull the pain of the personal tragedy that drove her from New York City. As Ada settles in, she discovers a trunk full of mementos of a radiant love affair that unfolded in Seattles most iconic locales. Neighbors reveal little about the past, only that the beautiful and mysterious Penny had a hold on all who knew her. The travel writer in Ada senses the journey of a lifetime. On Boat Street, Pennys mysterious past and Adas own clouded future are destined to converge.

Title: Max

Author: Howard Fast

Narrator: Christopher Kipiniak

Publisher's Summary:

The inspiring story of Max Britsky, who grew up in the slums of New York and became one of the most powerful men in the American movie industry.

Max tells the story of the rise of Max Britsky, entwined with the film industrys beginnings near the turn of the twentieth century. When he was twelve, Max's father died, leaving him to scrape out a living in Manhattan's Lower East Side slums to provide for his mother and siblings. But Max was a natural entrepreneur, and he followed his business instincts and love of the theater to become one of the first film moguls in the history of American moviemaking.

Britsky's life story is tragic and triumphant, and yet another example of the unmatched storytelling prowess of Howard Fast, one of the most prolific and widely listened to authors of the twentieth century.

Editorial Reviews:

In spite of being blacklisted, and briefly imprisoned, during the McCarthy era because of his ties to the Communist party, Howard Fast managed to become one of the most prolific authors of the 20th century, and this deeply personal, semi-autobiographical novel from 1961 stands as one of his finest in its rags-to-riches story of Max Britsky, a Jewish boy with humble roots in New Yorks Lower East Side who defies the odds to become one Hollywoods most powerful moguls, and who loses it all in the face of unexpected tragedy.

Christopher Kipiniaks powerful performance commands authority and captures the Shakespearean pathos of Fasts complex character study.

Title: The Cartographer of No Man's Land

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: P. S. Duffy

Narrator: David Marantz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-28-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 58 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

From a hardscrabble village in Nova Scotia to the collapsing trenches of France, a debut novel about a family divided by World War I. In the tradition of Robert Goolrick's A Reliable Wife and Karl Marlantes's Matterhorn, P. S. Duffy's astonishing debut showcases a rare and instinctive talent emerging in midlife. Her novel leaps across the Atlantic, between a father at war and a son coming of age at home without him.

When his beloved brother-in-law goes missing at the front in 1916, Angus defies his pacifist upbringing to join the war and find him. Assured a position as a cartographer in London, he is instead sent directly into the visceral shock of battle. Meanwhile, at home, his son, Simon Peter, must navigate escalating hostility in a fishing village torn by grief.

With the intimacy of The Song of Achilles and the epic scope of The Invisible Bridge, The Cartographer of No Man's Land offers a soulful portrayal of World War I and the lives that were forever changed by it, both on the battlefield and at home.

Critic Reviews:

"With warm, precise tones, David Marantz narrates this fascinating story. . . . Subtle characterizations force listeners to pay careful attention to the changing scenes, the horrors of war, and the long discussions about life. Marantz steadily weaves the two plots together in this heartrending story of the war to end all wars." (AudioFile)

Publisher's Summary:

On Christmas Day, Bruce Kohler wakes up in detox on the Bowery in New York City. He knows it s time to change his life, but how can he stay sober without dying of boredom? When homeless alcoholics start to die unexpectedly, Bruce is surprised to find he cares enough to want to find out why. Most of them had been down and out for many years, but Bruce's friend Guff was different: a cynical aristocrat with a trust fund and some secrets.

Two old friends give Bruce a second chance and agree to help him with his investigation: his best friend, Jimmy, a computer genius and history buff who's been in AA for years, and Jimmy's girlfriend Barbara, a counselor who sometimes crosses the line between helping and codependency. Barbara works a night shift at the detox and confronts a counselor who might still be dealing drugs. Bruce gets a job temping for Guff's arrogant nephew. Between the three of them, suspects start piling up. The trail leads back to the detox. Or does it?

In Death Will Get You Sober, Bruce discovers that the church basements of AA are a small world in the big city of New York. As he grapples with staying sober, he finds that not drinking is only the beginning of coming back to life - a life he finds he wants to keep when it's threatened by a killer. Debut author Elizabeth Zelvin has used her expertise as an addiction councilor to pen a riveting mystery filled with memorable, realistic characters who are as flawed as they are heroic.

Editorial Reviews:

A stunning debut from Elizabeth Zelvin, Death Will Get You Sober is the tale of a down-and-out recovering alcoholic who has decided to turn his life aroundand perhaps solve a mystery in the process. When drunks start dying in downtown New York City, who better to investigate than one of their own? Enter Bruce Kohler. Mark Boyett performs this audiobook with real panache. He nails Kohler's dry and intelligent persona. Zelvin's work is in capable hands with Boyett, a seasoned narrator of fast-paced adventures.
