Bender Narrator: Meredith Orlow, Carine Montbertrand, Eliza Foss, Susan Bennett Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 12-30-15 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: We think about it every day, sometimes every hour: money. Who has it. Who doesn't. How you get it. How you don't. Bender uses this very powerful force to pull together a unified collection of stories that deeply explore the ways in which money and the subsequent estimation of value affect the lives of her characters. The stories in Refund reflect our contemporary world - swindlers, reality show creators, desperate artists, siblings, parents - who struggle to figure out how to obtain money, how to give it, earn it, lose it, all the while trying to answer the question: What is the real definition of worth? Critic Reviews: "Bender's short stories were shortlisted for the National Book Award and brilliantly weave money, economics, education, emotion, and fear into each distinct tale." (Washington Review of Books) "The author's sharp observations and fine, crisp writing keep these stories crackling with energy and wit, while they excavate the buried secrets of 21st century America." (Miami Herald) "Refund meets the challenge of the short-story writer to create a vivid, believable world in which compelling characters pull the reader up and over a taut narrative arc, all within the space of a few pages. Taken separately, each of the Refund stories is an impeccably constructed miniature, a ship in a bottle that makes the reader wonder how the author got all that detail, all that craft, into such a small container. Taken as a whole, the collection is a 13-stop journey into some richly imagined worlds." (LA Times)

Title: Perceptio Author: Tim James Simpson Narrator: 5395 MEDIA LLC Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 03-14-16 Publisher: Tim Simpson Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: From the author of the series The Book of M and The Sons of Thunder come two more stories that will put your imagination to the test. The first is a story about an entertainer who lived in a time when the best shows were on stage. Follow his life up to its very end. But is it really his life or someone else's? You will have to listen to find out. Next is the story of the first manned space exploration. However, it is not by choice. The world as everyone knows it has been shut down. The military cannot operate without their equipment, which is all run by computers. Cell phones are of no use, neither are laptops, nor even the new automobiles of the day. Someone has completely wiped out our way of life. So what can be done? The Future project was a spacecraft designed for one purpose: to live and explore the furthest reaches of space. However, recent events have completely changed the mission. Now, time is running out and an army of unknown origin has invaded America. They wear no known uniforms. They do not speak - or even communicate. They simply destroy any- and everything they come in contact with. The Future spacecraft is held up, waiting on the president of the United States to board and try to preserve some of our nation's government until something can be done about the intruders. On their way to The Future spacecraft, the president of the United States is rescued from certain death by a team of soldiers training in the desert and led by Sargent Richard Kind, a tough, no-nonsense marine. His life was turned upside down when the first invasion took place, so now he trains men and woman to fight this unknown threat. Aboard The Future, those heading for space, including the president and Sargent Kind, discover there is more to the attack than anyone was willing to believe. Now the war continues thousands of miles from where it first began, just beyond our own atmosphere.

Title: Gaza Writes Back Subtitle: Short Stories from Young Writers in Gaza, Palestine Author: Refaat Alareer Narrator: Amin El Gamal, Lameece Issaq Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Gaza Writes Back: Short Stories from Young Writers in Gaza, Palestine, edited by Refaat Alareer, is a compelling collection of short stories from 15 young writers in Gaza, members of a generation that has suffered immensely under Israel's siege and blockade. Their experiences, especially during and following Israel's 2008-2009 offensive known as Operation Cast Lead, have fundamentally impacted their lives and their writing. Indeed, many of these writers saw the war as a catalyst for their writing, as they sought an outlet and a voice in its aftermath. They view the book as a means of preserving Palestinian memories and presenting their own narratives to the world without filters. Their words take us into the homes and hearts of moms, dads, students, children, and elders striving to live lives of dignity, compassion, and meaning in one of the world's most embattled communities. (Some of the stories also take us with courage and empathy into the imagined world of Israelis living just on the other side of the great barriers Israel has built in and around Gaza and the West Bank to wall the Palestinians in.) These stories are acts of resistance and defiance, proclaiming the endurance of Palestinians and the continuing resilience and creativity of their culture in the face of ongoing obstacles and attempts to silence them. Whether tackling the tragedy that surrounds missile strikes and home raids or the everyday indignities encountered by Palestinian refugees, Gaza Writes Back brings to life the real issues that the people of Gaza face. One prominent theme in many of the stories is the value placed on the wisdom of parents and grandparents. A sense of longing pervades the book, as the characters in the stories reveal desires ranging from the mundane to the complex - including, in several of the stories, a strong yearning to return to the characters' long-cherished family homes and properties after many decades in exile from them. Social differences within Gaza are also sensitively explored. A few stories are especially difficult - but critical - to digest due to the vividness with which they depict the experiences of victims of Israeli military strikes and confront the legacy of violence and occupation, particularly on young people.
