Publisher's Summary:

Here the third story in McCloskeys thrilling saga of the Alaskan fishermen. Twenty years after his greenhorn days in William McCloskeys bestselling novel, Highliners, Hank Crawford stands tall as a respected fishing captain in Kodiak, Alaska. Set amongst the tumult of the early 1980s, Raiders follows the struggles of the Alaskan fishermen as they regain control of their fishing grounds from the fleets of foreign companies who have been plundering their bays. But such companies arent deterred, and instead they contract American boats to catch the fish for them. In order to keep his family afloat, he swears, Hank signs on with a Japanese firm. Shunned as a traitor by his peers, Hank keeps on fishing. Their disgust and his tainted ethics will all be worth it for the chance to keep on fishing.

But when Hank begins to suspect that his new employers are playing a political game - and using him as the pawn - he must confront the possibility that in order to find redemption, hell have to sacrifice all he has.

In this masterful finale to the Highliners series, McCloskey takes on the all-too-real horrors of the seafaring life: storms that can sink a ship, giant fish that can snap a mans arm. For anyone in love with the Alaskan backdrop, the feel of hauling in fish, or traveling the ever-changing sea, Raiders is a story to read, cherish, and never forget.

Editorial Reviews:

The third in William McCloskeys trilogy of novels featuring the well-beloved Highliners and Breakers, Raiders picks up Hank Crawfords story where those left off. Plunging us into the icy waters off the coast of Kodiak Island, Alaska, Aaron Abanos vigorous performance evokes the life of a commercial fisherman. Veering from raw emotion to visceral detail, Abanos rugged voice evokes McCloskeys story of the death of Hanks best friend, his wifes desire to captain her own ship, and a new contract with the Japanese. This unique and truly believable audiobook is a breathless adventure for any listener.

Publisher's Summary:

Ismail Boxwala made the worst mistake of his life one summer morning twenty years ago: he forgot his baby daughter in the back seat of his car. After his daughter's tragic death, he struggles to continue living. A divorce, years of heavy drinking, and sex with strangers only leave him more alone and isolated.

But Ismail's story begins to change after he reluctantly befriends two women: Fatima, a young queer activist kicked out of her parents' home; and Celia, his grieving Portuguese-Canadian neighbour who lives just six metres away. A slow-simmering romance develops between Ismail and Celia.

Meanwhile, dangers lead Fatima to his doorstep. Each makes complicated demands of him, ones he is uncertain he can meet.

Editorial Reviews:

Farzana Doctor's moving novel about second chances and redemption examines the life of Ismail Boxwala 20 years after he left his young daughter in the back seat of his car, accidentally causing her death. Six Metres of Pavement was named a Top Ten Book of 2011 by NOW Magazine, won both Rainbow and Lambda Literary Awards, and was short-listed for the Toronto Book Award.

David George performs this audiobook with an intimate familiarity for its multicultural setting of Toronto. His voice lends insight to diverse representations of sexual and cultural identities. In addition, having lived in England, Canada, and the United States, he effortlessly replicates numerous accents and dialects.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Jean-Christophe Rufin a suivi à pied, sur plus de huit cents kilomètres, le "Chemin du Nord" jusqu'à Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. Beaucoup moins fréquenté que la voie habituelle des pèlerins, cet itinéraire longe les côtes basque et cantabrique puis traverse les montagnes sauvages des Asturies et de Galice. "Chaque fois que l'on m'a posé la question : "Pourquoi êtes-vous allé à Santiago ?", j'ai été bien en peine de répondre. Comment expliquer à ceux qui ne l'ont pas vécu que le Chemin a pour effet sinon pour vertu de faire oublier les raisons qui ont amené à s'y engager ? On est parti, voilà tout."

Galerie de portraits savoureux, divertissement philosophique sur le ton de Diderot, exercice d'autodérision plein d'humour et d'émerveillement, Immortelle randonnée se classe parmi les grands récits de voyage littéraires.

L'auteur

, médecin, pionnier du mouvement humanitaire, a été ambassadeur de France au Sénégal de 2007 à 2010. Il est l'auteur de romans désormais classiques tels que

Le narrateur

Ancien élève au conservatoire de Michel Bernardy, de Gérard Desarthe et de Michel Bouquet,

travaille depuis de nombreuses années à la mise en ondes de dramatiques sur France culture, sous la direction de François Christophe notamment, en parallèle à sa carrière de comédien de théâtre et de cinéma.

La presse en parle

"Ce pourrait être fastidieux, c'est un régal. Parce que Rufin, mêlant choses vues, portraits et anecdotes, jouant sur un juste dosage de gravité et d'autodérision, est ici à son meilleur."

Publisher's Summary:

Fifteen years after their Princeton graduation, Jay, Franny, Emerson, and Stevie meet at a college reunion. Life has taken each of them in different directions - Jay is a married man with a baby on the way, while Franny yearns for a child. Divorced single mom Emerson is drawn to a man who challenges her assumptions about finding a once-in-a-lifetime love. And Stevie has recently been rocked by a shocking revelation - the answer to a long-kept family secret.

Now the bond between them takes a surprising twist, one that changes how each feels about family and friendship. One thing is certain: They will all find their heart's desires in the last place they imagine - as they discover that family is less about blood ties than the warm embrace of ones who accept them as they are.

Editorial Reviews:

Narrator Gayle Hendrix's arch performance adds sparks to this story about four Princeton graduates reconnecting at their 15-year college reunion. Literary agent Franny is desperate for a child, but her unorthodox solution - using her married friend Jay as a sperm donor - leads to unexpected repercussions. Blue-blooded single mom Emerson finds herself drawn to a socially-unacceptable man, and commitment-phobic Stevie wrestles with her boyfriend's marriage proposal and the discovery of a father she never knew. Hendrix expresses each character with precision, from Franny's blunt single-mindedness to Stevie's difficulty in trusting the men in her life. Listeners will find this entertaining audiobook a quick and easy listen.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Nachdem das Kautionsbüro von einer Rakete getroffen wurde, müssen Stephanie Plum, ihre Kollegin Lula und ihr Chef Vinnie aus einem Wohnwagen heraus ermitteln. Der steht auf einem leeren Baugrundstück. Na ja, fast leer, denn plötzlich ragt ein ziemlich menschlich aussehender Arm aus dem Morast. Weitere Leichen folgen, und aus einem Mord wird eine ganze Serie. Genau das Richtige für Steph - doch die hat alle Hände voll zu tun: Sie muss einen Pseudo-Vampir stellen, Morellis Großmutter hat ihr einen Fluch angehängt, und ihre eigene Mutter versucht, sie mit dem Ex-Footballstar der Schule zu verkuppeln, der immerhin etwas vom Kochen versteht. Doch dann tauchen bei den Toten persönliche Grußbotschaften an Stephanie auf, und da kann selbst einer erfahrenen Kopfgeldjägerin der Appetit vergehen...

Comment vivre une histoire d'amour avec une jeune femme du XVe siècle, quand on est contrôleur des impôts à Châteauroux en 2008 ?C'est tout le problème de Jean-Luc Talbot, qui était un homme normal, rangé et rationnel... jusqu'à la nuit dernière, où tout a basculé.

Balloté de manipulations dangereuses en bonheurs fous, il se demande s'il est en train de perdre la raison, ou de trouver un sens à son existence. Si la réincarnation existe, quel est son but ? Faut-il revenir sur les pas d'un autre, pour découvrir enfin qui l'on est ? Peut-on modifier le passé ? Peut-on réussir deux vies à la fois ?Renouant avec ses thèmes majeurs, Didier van Cauwelaert nous entraîne dans un roman hallucinant où, à travers la drôlerie irrésistible des situations, la gravité de l'enjeu et le pouvoir des rêves, il suggère des réponses vertigineuses aux questions qui nous hantent.

Publisher's Summary:

The landscape of contemporary Paris, replete with the best restaurants, the trendiest bars and clubs, is usually filled with the wealthy, the famous, and le rake or le rou, the charming, educated sophisticate with little or no conscience. Into this cushy world bursts Dr. Crandall Taylor - or rather the actor who plays him, the star of a dated American soap opera that is now one of the hottest prime-time shows in France. And this newfound fame, as enriching as it is unexpected, is not wasted on Crandall, eager to put his dark and often violent American past behind him and enjoy all the fruits and the women that Paris and fame have to offer him.

But TV fame isnt enough. Randall wants a feature film. Every actor wants a feature film, and so Crandall uses his charm and intellect to draw into his narcissistic web four different women: an executive at the network that runs his show; an American porn star reaching new heights on the Internet; a bookish university student with a slightly nasty bent; and the beautiful would-be actress wife of an arms dealer. Against his better judgment, Crandall accepts both the arms dealers cash and his beautiful wifes advances. Soon, Crandall is on the run through the alleys and streets of Paris, trying not only to fund a film but simply to stay alive. But this is no ordinary chase and Crandall is no ordinary mouse and soon his penchant for violence, sex, and megalomania erupts into full-blown war.

Rake is the latest noir classic from the author of The Ice Harvest. It features a charming, despicable antihero and a funny, satiric take on modern entertainment culture. Phillips turns his gimlet eye on the lush life of an actor who, on his destructive tour through Paris, crosses the line from garden variety narcissism into full-fledged psycopathy.

Publisher's Summary:

Poised to stand among the great war novels, the harrowing chronicle of a sniper during the Chechen War.The saboteurs? Holy Christ, what happened? What did you do to deserve that? a fellow soldier responds when he hears that Nicolai Lilin has been assigned to an unconventional, ultra-high-risk paramilitary unit of the Russian army. Also nicknamed the para-bats for the black parachutes that dropped them behind enemy lines at night, Lilin and his fellow saboteurs soon find themselves fighting Islamic insurgents armed with American weaponry in the breakaway province of Chechnya.

In vivid, harrowing detail, Lilin relays how, under the mind-bending dangers of heavy fire, on unknown terrain, in unpredictable small villages, the only goal is survival. Under the leadership of corrupt generals profiting from the war, his unit develops a camaraderie that is their best hope for staying aliveand staying human.

Ultimately, the return to the bland normality of an impersonal society at peace might be the hardest struggle of all.Writing with unhindered directness and power, Lilin combines his own experiences as a sniper in Chechnya together with the stories of those he fought beside to forge an autobiographical novel unique in the literature of war. A bestseller in Europe, this novel will remain an unforgettable account of one of the ugliest conflicts of our time.
