Summary:

Natalie Lyster was once an honorable soldier. But when a government conspiracy led to the death of a loved one, she went rogue. After years on the run, she now leads a criminal organization, working for the highest bidder.

That bidder is the corrupt planetary union Czar. The job has taken Lyster and her crew to the planet Salacia. Their goal: excavate the zorbernite mineral from the slopes of the supervolcano Mount Ragnarök and deliver it to the Czar military.

In their digging, they found more than mineral.

Lyster's ship is intercepted by a strike force led by Commander Tucker Greyson. The pursuit goes haywire, for a swarm of giant alien wasps bring down the spacecrafts.

Forced to travel on foot, Greyson and Lyster quickly learn the wasps are only the beginning of their problems. Man-eating raptors lurk behind every tree, ambushing everyone who gets too close; echoes of heavy footsteps reveal the presence of a larger predator hunting in the region; and heavy seismic activity from the mountainside warn of Mount Ragnaröks impending fiery wrath. With time running out, the group must reach the main campsite and commandeer a spacecraft, or else perish in the hellish fires of Mount Ragnarök.

But with a tight-lipped widow, a possibly shifty sister, and a slew of unhappy investors in the mix, the list of murder suspects seems endless.

Title: Mathematica: A Secret World of Intuition and Curiosity

Author: David Bessis

Narrator: Mike Lenz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:12:09

Language: English

Release date: 05-28-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Science & Technology, Mathematics

Summary:

Math has a reputation for being inaccessible. People think that it requires a special gift or that comprehension is a matter of genes. Yet the greatest mathematicians throughout history, from René Descartes to Alexander Grothendieck, have insisted that this is not the case. Like Albert Einstein, who famously claimed to have 'no special talent,' they said that they had accomplished what they did using ordinary human doubts, weaknesses, curiosity, and imagination.

David Bessis guides us on an illuminating path toward deeper mathematical comprehension, reconnecting us with the mental plasticity we experienced as children. With simple, concrete examples, Bessis shows how mathematical comprehension is integral to the great learning milestones of life, such as learning to see, to speak, to walk, and to eat with a spoon.

Focusing on the deeply human roots of mathematics, Bessis dispels the myths of mathematical genius. He offers an engaging initiation into the experience of math not as a series of discouragingly incomprehensible logic problems but as a physical activity akin to yoga, meditation, or a martial art. This perspective will change the way you think not only about math but also about intelligence, intuition, and everything that goes on inside your head.

Title: Sabotage!: An In-Depth Investigation of the 1943 Liberator Crash that Killed Polish General Sikorski

Author: Chris Wroblewski, Garth Barnard

Narrator: Julian Elfer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:05:21

Language: English

Release date: 05-28-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Military

Summary:

On the night of July 4, 1943, transport aircraft Liberator AL523 took off from Gibraltar's North Front tarmac and within moments crashed into the sea with only one survivor, the pilot. The commander-in-chief of the Polish army and prime minister of the Polish government-in-exile, General Wladyslaw Sikorski, was dead.

Rumors as to the cause of the crash abounded. Was it pilot error? Was it, as officially classified, merely an accident, or was it, as the authors conclude in this riveting and meticulous study, an act of sabotage?

In this extensive piece of research, Chris Wroblewski and Garth Barnard examine numerous primary sources, including the complete court of inquiry transcripts, produce detailed analysis of aircraft components and systems, and unearth many little-known eyewitness accounts to give this investigation a compelling conclusion. Within the book the authors also dispel several conspiracy theories that have emerged since this catastrophe; particularly that this event was a disastrous assassination attempt with blame on the British, Soviets, and Nazis.

This is an exhaustive piece of investigative journalism that puts the record straight once and for all.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:33:15

Language: English

Release date: 05-28-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Romance, LGBTQ, Contemporary

Summary:

Bruce 'Bones' Lanning and Emil Ettinger had a decent roommate arrangement at Roosevelt College, so they agree to share the same space again. Their relationship has always been ridiculous banter and competitive streaks, and they assume this year will be the same.

So why are they suddenly enjoying nights holed up in their room together?

Bones can't figure out why he likes being around Emil so much and why he's suddenly falling asleep in Emil's bed. And as far as Emil knows, Bones is straight, so why does he seem jealous when Emil arranges a random hookup, then asks all sorts of questions about what it's like to kiss another guy?

To put an end to his roommate's endless queries, Emil kisses Bones, convinced he's just goofing around. But one encounter leads to another, until Emil begins seeing Bones in a different light. Underneath the clueless, carefree facade lies a deeper emotional underpinning that allows Emil to become more vulnerable too-and maybe even admit that spending time with his roommate is the best part of his day.

Still, Emil isn't about to become another jock's experiment, so he makes it clear that their hookups are totally casual. Until they're not.

Contains mature themes.

Title: Law of the Jungle #1

Author: Vasily Mahanenko

Narrator: Diontae Black

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:20:38

Language: English

Release date: 05-28-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Science Fiction & Fantasy

Summary:

Might is right. This is the primal law of the jungle, and this creed not only rules the animal kingdom, but also shapes the lives of men.

Having harnessed the elusive Qi energy, humanity has divided the world into zones and mastered the creation of extraordinary artifacts, edging closer to immortality. Yet, this evolution has only entrenched the fundamental law: power grants privilege. The strongest claim the finest resources as well as the right to rise above others.

What chance does an ordinary youth from the neglected zero zone have in such a world? Is it his destiny to reach unimaginable heights—or to vanish into the abyss of mediocrity, just another forgotten face in a crowd of millions? The answers rest with the inscrutable Heavens—the silent watchers of human fate.

Incidentally, where do demons and ancients fit in this grand scheme? Their mysterious roles in this epic tale remain to be unveiled.
