Title: How We Became Wicked

Author: Alexander Yates

Narrator: Lauren Ezzo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:49:07

Language: English

Release date: 07-23-19

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Summary:

When an insect-borne plague begins to envelop the world, three sixteen-year-olds struggle to survive amongst the healthy “trues” and the infected “wickeds” in this gripping dystopian tale from the author of The Winter Place.

A plague, called Wickedness, is pulsing through the world; and in its wake, it’s dividing the population into thirds:

The WICKED: Already infected by the droves of Singers, the ultraviolet mosquito-like insects who carry the plague, the Wicked roam the world freely. They don’t want for much—only to maim and dismember you. But don’t worry: They always ask politely first.

The TRUE: The True live in contained, isolated communities. They’re the lucky ones; they found safety from the Singers. And while the threat of the Wicked may not be eliminated, for the True, the threat has certainly been contained…

The VEXED: The Vexed are the truly fortunate ones—they survived the sting of the Singers, leaving them immune. But they’re far from safe. The Vexed hold the key to a cure, and there are those who will do anything to get it.

In this brilliantly realized novel, three teens—Astrid, Hank, and Natalie—start to realize that the divisions of their world aren’t as clear as they seem, and are forced to question what being wicked truly means.

Title: State of the Heart: Exploring the History, Science, and Future of Cardiac Disease

Author: Haider Warraich

Narrator: Neil Shah

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:05:00

Language: English

Release date: 07-23-19

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Summary:

In State of the Heart, Dr. Haider Warraich takes readers inside the ER, inside patients' rooms, and inside the history and science of cardiac disease.

State of the Heart traces the entire arc of the heart, from the very first time it was depicted on stone tablets, to a future in which it may very well become redundant. While heart disease has been around for a while, the type of heart disease people have, why they have it, and how it’s treated is changing. Yet, the golden age of heart science is only just beginning. And with treatments of heart disease altering the very definitions of human life and death, there is no better time to look at the present and future of heart disease, the doctors and nurses who treat it, the patients and caregivers who live with it, and the stories they hold close to their chests.

More people die of heart disease than any other disease in the world and when any form of heart disease progresses, it can result in the development of heart failure. Heart failure affects millions and can affect anyone at anytime, a child recovering from a viral infection, a woman who has just given birth or a cancer patient receiving chemotherapy. Yet new technology to treat heart failure is fundamentally changing just what it means to be human. Mechanical pumps can be surgically sown into patients’ hearts and when patients with these pumps get really sick, sometimes they don’t need a doctor or a surgeon―they need a mechanic.

In State of the Heart, the journey to rid the world of heart disease is shown to be reflective of the journey of medical science at large. We are learning not only that women have as much heart disease as men, but that the type of heart disease women experience is diametrically different from that in men. We are learning that heart disease and cancer may have more in common than we could have imagined. And we are learning how human evolution itself may have led to the epidemic of heart disease. In understanding how our knowledge of the heart evolved, State of the Heart traces the twisting and turning road that science has taken―filled with potholes and blind turns―all the way back to its very origin.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:31:26

Language: English

Release date: 07-16-19

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Current Affairs, Global Politics, Political Ideologies

Summary:

President Trump can't stop talking about it. TV and talk radio are abuzz. Newly-elected radical Dems are making headlines across our country. Democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls are being forced to draw a red line in the sand. Will America bow to the socialist left? 'Rules for Deplorables: A Primer for Fighting Radical Socialism' heavily references Saul Alinsky's 1972 blockbuster book, 'Rules for Radicals', and explains how his tactics facilitate the blueprint outlined by sociologists Cloward-Piven's strategies to overwhelm our systems, from welfare to voting and more. Alinsky's 13 tactics have been used by the left for decades to change our values and culture in order to fundamentally transform America into a socialist state. And, they are making time-shattering gains. Each chapter of this audiobook highlights one of Alinsky's tactics by using current-day news events to explain how the left has been successful for over a generation infiltrating our intelligence agencies, academia, news media, and even Hollywood. This well-researched audiobook compares Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's dangerous socialist policies to Venezuela's devastating twenty-year path to destruction, explains the true motive behind Justice Kavanaugh's shameful confirmation hearings, explores the phony Trump-Russia collusion 'witch hunt', investigates the 'Swamp's' despicable efforts to sabotage Trump's agenda, exposes the left's intentional indoctrination of our college students into 'Snowflakes', and much more. For any American concerned with the future of our country, 'Rules for Deplorables: A Primer for Fighting Radical Socialism' may well be the single most important audiobook you'll ever hear.

Length: 07:30:37

Language: English

Release date: 07-16-19

Publisher: Penguin Random House Australia Audio

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

In Perfect Motion, Jono Lineen investigates that transformation, and why walking has made us more creative, helped us to learn, constructed our perception of time, strengthened our resilience and provided a way of making sense of our life - and death.

After the tragic loss of his younger brother, Lineen experienced walking's regenerative power firsthand. Grief-stricken and adrift, he set off on a 2700-kilometre solo trek across the Himalayas. He walked for months until his legs ached and feet blistered, and by the end of the expedition something had changed in him. He was stronger - not just physically, but psychologically and emotionally.

What had happened? What had given him this feeling of peace; joy even? Determined to find out, he began researching the science and history of walking and running, and discovered that there were fascinating reasons for his metamorphosis. Now, weaving together his own remarkable personal stories with evolutionary research, psychology, neuroscience, anatomy and philosophy, Lineen reveals for the first time the powerful effect that even the shortest strolls can have on us. And why walking is what we're made to do; it is our perfect motion.

Title: Minotaur

Author: Peter Goldsworthy

Narrator: Sharon Hunter, Toby Schmitz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:02:42

Language: English

Release date: 07-16-19

Publisher: Penguin Random House Australia Audio

Genres: Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Suspense

Summary:

Detective Sergeant Rick Zadow is angry, unmotivated, unwashed, unkempt, and almost entirely reliant on his guide dog, Scout, and voice-controlled personal assistant Siri to make it through each day: one a voice without a body, the other a body without a voice.

Left blind after a bullet wound to the head two years before, he is caught up in a workers' compensation battle between two psychiatrists - one acting for him, and one appointed by WorkCover - over how much compo he should be awarded.

Reminders of his former life keep on tripping Rick up. His wife has moved out, and another former passion of his life - a legendary Ducati motorbike he was halfway through restoring - sits abandoned in the back shed.

All of which is the background to the central story: the breakout from jail of the man who shot him, and who is seeking to finish the job . . .

Part laugh-out-loud comedy, part deadly serious study of revenge, part love story, this unique novel from one of our finest writers is also a slow, crabwise journey of self-discovery. As Rick navigates his sense-world (smell, sound, touch, taste . . . and finally, sight), there is a sixth sense he must also learn to trust - his gut instinct - which might just turn out to be his best.

Summary:

“A tense, original thriller that perfectly blends the nail-biting suspense and shocks of Silence of the Lambs and Shutter Island.” —John Marrs, bestselling author of When You Disappeared

His victims are powerless. He is in control. This is his revenge—and he’s only just begun.

Three university scientists are found dead in a gruesome murder-suicide, and the only suspect in the case, Victor Lazar, is quickly captured. When the spate of violent suicides follows him to prison he is moved to solitary confinement, reserved for the highest-risk inmates. And then his assigned psychologist inexplicably takes his own life.

Alex Madison, a former forensic psychologist turned private therapist, is brought in to interview Victor. He suspects that Victor is controlling his victims, somehow coaxing them into a suggestive trance. It seems like science fiction, but as Alex digs deeper he uncovers a frightening reality of secret research and cruel experimentation—and the perpetrators are closer to home than he could ever have imagined.

Too late, Alex learns the true extent of what Victor is capable of—and who he’s after. With everything he holds dear at risk, can Alex take control of a dangerous mind—before it takes control of him?
