Publisher's Summary:

Chronically irresponsible Duncan Flowers has a rude awakening when his junky, unlocked car falls prey to a thief, who also makes off with the beat-up viola that Duncan inherited from his eccentric grandfather.

The viola's true nature soon pulls Duncan into unimagined intrigue involving a powerful real estate magnate, a renowned British antiquities expert, a master instrument maker, and an aspiring fast-buck artist.

Title: A Terrible Freedom

Author: Eric Linklater

Narrator: John Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-20-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Eric Linklater's brilliant novel tells the story of a double existence. Evan Gaffikin, 60ish, grumpy, and bored with his dull commercial success, discovers and develops his power to dream: to dream in such depth and in such glowing reality that he is able to escape his extraordinary existence. We learn of his double life as scenes from Gaffikin's real life alternate with his surrealistic, vivid, and often hilariously bawdy forays into the world of unreality. As his dream-world and its remarkable characters, gradually get the upper hand, the tension of the novel rises and the climactic sequence - in a yacht off the Hebrides - is mysterious and exciting.

A Terrible Freedom could, perhaps, be described as an idiosyncratic venture into the realm of science fiction; but it may be preferable to see it as a conventional novel built with classical composure of unconventional material. Either way it is a tour de force of imagination and narrative skills.

About the Author: Eric Linklater (1899-1974) wrote scores of novels for adults and children. He was also a journalist in India, commander of a wartime fortress in the Orkney Islands, and rector of Aberdeen University.

Publisher's Summary:

Sergeant Jebb - S.J. as he is called - is a distinguished British historian. He has shaped his life pretty much as he wished, subordinating personal responsibilities and professional rewards to his private standards of integrity and scholarship.

Or so he believes, until a crucial few days force him into confrontations of a sort he has never faced before. For one thing, his doctor tells him he is seriously ill and must undergo a new and delicate operation if he is to survive. And he is deeply troubled about his 20-year-old son, Simon. The boy's ex-mistress has killed herself in a blaze of notoriety that implicates Simon in moral responsibility of her act. The more father and son talk about it, the more distressed S.J. is by Simon's inability to see this; the more he ponders his role in shaping Simon into the man he is. S.J., newly conscious of his mortality, comes into renewed conflict with his family, and Simon is bitterly and dangerously involved.

The play of character, of motive and of conflicting values that always intrigues Storm Jameson makes There Will Be a Short Interval an extraordinarily moving and provocative novel.

Members Reviews:

A Delightful Read

This book is a treat for the detective story lovers. It is an intelligent and artfully built mystery that keeps the reader guessing until the end. It is not exactly sweet cozy--there is a lot of action to deliver an adrenaline rush--but at the same time it is warm and a pure delight. Plot, character development, and creative ingenuity are the author's trademarks. Detective Mike Delo is very likeable despite his shortcomings. The rest of the characters are very well developed even when they appear in the narrative for a short time. Great job! I can't wait for the sequel.

Good private detective story

Ex-cop turned PI is hired to look into a murder. The story has some twists and turns, a bit of romance, some unsavory characters along with police. Decent amount of mystery and suspense.

very interesting!

Good book, keeps you wondering what's next and how everyone is connected. Love the descriptions of Omaha, especially South Omaha.

Per Petterson tager os i I klvandet med p en rejse til nattens ende. Romanens jeg-fortller, forfatteren Arvid Jansen, befinder sig i et eksistentielt tomrum - i klvandet p en katastrofe, som trkker dybe spor i hans liv. En r og m, srbar og barsk historie om at miste fodfstet i tilvrelsen, men mesterligt fortalt i et glasklart rytmisk sprog og med en varm sort humor. Mens Til Sibirien kan lses som en roman om forfatterens danske moder, der blev gravid med en nordmand, handler I klvandet om forholdet til faderen, fabriks-arbejderen og sportsmanden, der ikke rrte en cigaret i hele sit liv.

Please Note: This audiobook is in Danish.

Critic Reviews:

"Det kan drligt gres bedre. Det er ganske enkelt en helstbt bog (-) for form og indhold hnger fuldstndig organisk sammen. Der er en fabelagtig naturlighed i Pettersons ndedrt, og man efterlades paradoksalt oplivet og -ladet af den hudlse rhed." (Christa Leve Poulsen, Brsen)

"Per Petterson er en brillant stilist. Han er konkret og ngtern, men der er luft og fantasi i sprkkerne mellem ord og stninger. Der er et nrvr og en intensitet i skildringerne, som lfter realismen og giver den luft under vingerne. P en eller anden mde lykkes det ham at servere denne - lidt ordinre - historie om en mand i midtvejskrise, s den bliver vedkommende og sprllevende." (Jacob Kreutzfeldt, Kulturnyt/DR)

Title: The Calamari Kleptocracy

Author: Nicolas Sansone

Narrator: Elliott Walsh

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 06-18-13

Publisher: All Things That Matter Press

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Peace-loving Thor Gunderson has to make a choice when A Panini for Your Thoughts, the Fascist-themed Italian restaurant where he works, devises an incendiary plan to eliminate its competition. Should he swallow his pacifism, trust in his jingoistic boss, Alan, and stand behind his restaurant-nation? Should he dredge up the fortitude to speak his convictions to Alan's nefarious "business associates?" Or should he run off with the German homosexual who has offered him two million dollars in exchange for his assistance in tracking down a set of pilfered Tintoretto paintings?

When Thor falls in love with a new hire, Ms. Barbara Hackbush, whose internet doctor has diagnosed her with a troubling array of expensive "ailments," he makes up his mind: He will join the German on his "adventure-quest," make millions, and return to save Ms. Barbara from penury.

However, as Thor is double-crossed by those he trusts the most, he begins to understand that blissful naivete is the surest path to ruin.

Members Reviews:

A wonderful second novel from Mr. Sansone

I have been a fan of Mr. Sansone's work for several years and "The Calamari Kleptocracy" does not disappoint. Mr. Sansone has a unique ability to turn unbelievable characters and situations into a real and tangible world that allows the reader to forget their disbelief. The story line was complex, but tightly written and I was surprised by many of the plot twists. Although there were times when the naivety of Thor irked me, I was still able to sympathize with him, which is indicative of Mr. Sansone's ability to create human character. Some of the scenes were so real (such as the scene in Thor's bedroom when he talks with his father) that I could feel the characters' emotions. This realness made it difficult for me to put the book down (this is the first book in years that I have finished in a single weekend). Finally, I have to mention Mr. Sansone's beautiful metaphors, such as his comparison of stars to droplets of water on a big, black duck.

Given my thorough enjoyment of "Shooting Angels" and "The Calamari Kleptocracy" (as well as his short fiction), I am sure his next novel will not disappoint. It will jump to the top of my reading list as soon as it's released.

Critic Reviews:

"Den er s smukt skrevet, at det er til at grde over. Det er den rene stilistiske magi, en stor oplevelse." (Winni Thorup, IBC-lektr)

"Det er godt! Godt skrevet og godt fortalt, gennemtnkt og velkomponeret." (Jacob Kreutzfeldt, DR/Kulturnyt)

"Til Sibirien blev i 1996 - fortjent - indstillet til Nordisk Rds Litteraturpris. Bogen er oversat til hovedsprogene, og det kan undre, at denne skildring af drmmere i den nordjyske provins ikke for lngst foreligger p dansk. Annelise Ebbes fine oversttelse har vret vrd at vente p." (Sren Schou, Weekendavisen)

fun

well constructed story (everything happens I 24hrs but flash back memories of main character give context).

characters are very likeable and it's nice to have a happy ending too!
