Starsight

Written by: Brandon Sanderson
Narrated by: Suzy Jackson
Series: Skyward, Book 2

The sequel to the New York Times best seller Skyward!

From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Reckoners series, Words

of Radiance, the Mistborn trilogy, and the Stormlight Archive comes the second book in

an epic series about a girl with a secret in a dangerous world at war for humanity’s

future.

All her life, Spensa has dreamed of becoming a pilot. Of proving she’s a hero like her

father. She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned about her father were

crushing. The rumors of his cowardice are true – he deserted his flight during battle

against the Krell. Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them.

Spensa is sure there’s more to the story. And she’s sure that whatever happened to her

father in his starship could happen to her. When she made it outside the protective

shell of her planet, she heard the stars – and it was terrifying. Everything Spensa

has been taught about her world is a lie.

But Spensa also discovered a few other things about herself – and she’ll travel to the

end of the galaxy to save humankind if she needs to.

“[A] nonstop, highflying opener.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

“With this action-packed trilogy opener, Sanderson offers up a resourceful, fearless

heroine and a memorable cast.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Sanderson delivers a cinematic adventure that explores the defining aspects of the

individual versus the society…. Fans of Sanderson will not be disappointed.” (SLJ)

Ninth House

Written by: Leigh Bardugo
Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang, Michael David Axtell
Series: Alex Stern, Book 1

“Ninth House is the best fantasy novel I’ve read in years, because it’s about real

people. Bardugo’s imaginative reach is brilliant, and this story – full of shocks and

twists – is impossible to put down.” (Stephen King)

This program includes a bonus conversation with the author.

The mesmerizing adult debut from Leigh Bardugo, a tale of power, privilege, dark

magic, and murder set among the Ivy League elite.

Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in

the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into

a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact,

by age 20, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some

might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a

second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full

ride. What’s the catch, and why her?

Still searching for answers, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious

benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. Their eight

windowless “tombs” are the well-known haunts of the rich and powerful, from high-

ranking politicos to Wall Street’s biggest players. But their occult activities are

more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive.

They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And, sometimes, they prey on

the living.

A Little Hatred

Written by: Joe Abercrombie
Narrated by: Steven Pacey

The chimneys of industry rise over Adua and the world seethes with new opportunities.

But old scores run deep as ever.

On the blood-soaked borders of Angland, Leo dan Brock struggles to win fame on the

battlefield, and defeat the marauding armies of Stour Nightfall. He hopes for help

from the crown. But King Jezal’s son, the feckless Prince Orso, is a man who

specializes in disappointments.

Savine dan Glokta – socialite, investor, and daughter of the most feared man in the

Union – plans to claw her way to the top of the slag-heap of society by any means

necessary. But the slums boil over with a rage that all the money in the world cannot

control.

The age of the machine dawns, but the age of magic refuses to die. With the help of

the mad hillwoman Isern-i-Phail, Rikke struggles to control the blessing, or the

curse, of the Long Eye. Glimpsing the future is one thing, but with the guiding hand

of the First of the Magi still pulling the strings, changing it will be quite

another…

Outland

Written by: Dennis E. Taylor
Narrated by: Ray Porter
Length: 10 hrs and 29 mins
Original Recording Audiobook
Release date: 2019-05-16

“When the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, it’s up to six university students and

their experimental physics project to prevent the end of civilization. “

When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics

student Richard and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-

dimensional portal. They connect to an alternate Earth with identical geology, but

where humans never evolved. They go panning for gold and become millionaires

overnight, while fantasizing about Nobel Prizes and patents.

Then the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts on Earth in an explosion large enough to

destroy civilization and kill half the planet. Richard and his friends have less than

an afternoon to get as many people as possible across to Outland before Nebraska is

covered in a lethal cloud of ash.

Now Richard finds himself in charge of a disorganized and frightened band of reluctant

pioneers, on a world with none of the modern infrastructure that people have come to

depend on. Richard has been a loner all his life, and has always wanted to be part of

something bigger– but this is far more than he bargained for. If he doesn’t get this

right, it’s not just the lives of the people in his care that could be lost– it may

very well be the end of human civilization.

The Starless Sea

Written by: Erin Morgenstern
Narrated by: Dominic Hoffman, full cast
Length: 18 hrs and 37 mins
Unabridged Audiobook
Release date: 2019-11-05

Far beneath the surface of the earth, upon the shores of the Starless Sea, there is a

labyrinthine collection of tunnels and rooms filled with stories. The entryways that

lead to this sanctuary are often hidden, sometimes on forest floors, sometimes in

private homes, sometimes in plain sight. But those who seek will find. Their doors

have been waiting for them.

Zachary Ezra Rawlins is searching for his door, though he does not know it. He follows

a silent siren song, an inexplicable knowledge that he is meant for another place.

When he discovers a mysterious book in the stacks of his campus library he begins to

read, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, lost cities, and nameless acolytes.

Suddenly a turn of the page brings Zachary to a story from his own childhood

impossibly written in this book that is older than he is.

A bee, a key, and a sword emblazoned on the book lead Zachary to two people who will

change the course of his life: Mirabel, a fierce, pink-haired painter, and Dorian, a

handsome, barefoot man with shifting alliances. These strangers guide Zachary through

masquerade party dances and whispered back room stories to the headquarters of a

secret society where doorknobs hang from ribbons, and finally through a door conjured

from paint to the place he has always yearned for. Amid twisting tunnels filled with

books, gilded ballrooms, and wine-dark shores Zachary falls into an intoxicating world

soaked in romance and mystery. But a battle is raging over the fate of this place and

though there are those who would willingly sacrifice everything to protect it, there

are just as many intent on its destruction. As Zachary, Mirabel, and Dorian venture

deeper into the space and its histories and myths, searching for answers and each

other, a timeless love story unspools, casting a spell of pirates, painters, lovers,

liars, and ships that sail upon a Starless Sea.

Master & Apprentice (Star Wars)

Written by: Claudia Gray
Narrated by: Jonathan Davis
Series: Star Wars
Length: 11 hrs and 42 mins
Unabridged Audiobook
Release date: 2019-04-16

A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of

the Force. But perhaps a Jedi’s most essential duty is to pass on what they have

learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a

Padawan of his own. But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a

Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice.

Obi-Wan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him. Why

must Qui-Gon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi? Why is Qui-Gon drawn to

ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasn’t Obi-Wan

told that Qui-Gon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Council—knowing it

would mean the end of their partnership? The simple answer scares him: Obi-Wan has

failed his Master.

When Jedi Rael Averross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance

with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the royal court of Pijal for what

may be their final mission together. What should be a simple assignment quickly

becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in Qui-

Gon’s mind. As Qui-Gon’s faith in prophecy grows, Obi-Wan’s faith in him is tested—

just as a threat surfaces that will demand that Master and apprentice come together as

never before, or be divided forever.

to rid themselves of painful or treacherous memories. Once their stories have been

told and are bound between the pages of a book, the slate is wiped clean and their

mental collapse and no longer able to keep up with his farm chores, Emmett Farmer is

sent to the workshop of one such binder to live and work as her apprentice. Leaving

behind home and family, Emmett slowly regains his health while learning the binding

trade. He is forbidden to enter the locked room where books are stored, so he spends

many months marbling end pages, tooling leather book covers, and gilding edges. But

his curiosity is piqued by the people who come and go from the inner sanctum, and the

arrival of the lordly Lucian Darnay, with whom he senses a connection, changes

everything.

“Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and

deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it.” (Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians)

Jenn Lyons begins the Chorus of Dragons series with The Ruin of Kings, an epic fantasy

audiobook about a man who discovers his fate is tied to the future of an empire.

When destiny calls, there’s no fighting back.

Kihrin grew up in the slums of Quur, a thief and a minstrel’s son raised on tales of

long-lost princes and magnificent quests. When he is claimed against his will as the

missing son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds himself at the mercy of his new

family’s ruthless power plays and political ambitions.

Practically a prisoner, Kihrin discovers that being a long-lost prince is nothing like

what the storybooks promised. The storybooks have lied about a lot of other things,

too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, and how the hero always wins.

Then again, maybe he isn’t the hero after all. For Kihrin is not destined to save the

world.

He’s destined to destroy it.

In the dead systems where gates lead to stranger things than alien planets, Elvi Okoye

the edge of the imaginable. But the price of that knowledge may be higher than she can

pay.

At the heart of the empire, Teresa Duarte prepares to take on the burden of her

father’s godlike ambition. The sociopathic scientist Paolo Cortázar and the

Mephistophelian prisoner James Holden are only two of the dangers in a palace thick

emperor doesn’t guess.

And throughout the wide human empire, the scattered crew of the Rocinante fights a

brave rear-guard action against Duarte’s authoritarian regime. Memory of the old order

falls away, and a future under Laconia’s eternal rule — and with it, a battle that

humanity can only lose – seems more and more certain. Because against the terrors that

lie between worlds, courage and ambition will not be enough…

“Leave it to Stan Lee to save his very best for last. A Trick of Light is as heartfelt

and emotional as it is original and exciting. What a movie this one will make.”(James

Patterson)

“Beguiling, cinematic, operatic, A Trick of Light is a bracing espresso first thing in

the morning and the thrum of a familiar love deep at night.” (Gary Shteyngart)

In one of Stan Lee’s final collaborations and most innovative works, the legendary

creator invites you to unleash the power of your imagination, and bring to life an

epic, superhero origin story set within a tech-centric, highly connected world,

unnervingly reminiscent of our own.

Narrated by Yara Shahidi, one of today’s brightest talents, Stan Lee’s Alliances: A

Trick of Light introduces listeners to a mysterious young woman, Nia, whose fate is

intertwined with a seemingly ordinary Midwestern teenager, Cameron Ackerson, whose

quest for YouTube stardom takes him to the heart of the Great Lakes Triangle where he

is imbued with the power to “see” and “hear” a new reality.

As Nia and Cameron’s relationship grows, they conspire to create a more righteous

online universe, but wind up crossing a shadowy outfit called OPTIC. Meanwhile, a

threat of galactic proportions emerges, imperiling humanity’s very existence by

harnessing our individual desire to connect as the very means to destroy us.

Can Nia, Cameron, and Juaquo (Cameron’s best friend) save us from our own collective

ruin?

Join forces with Stan Lee to find out!
