First Login: Chronicle, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 707min
Corbin is an adventurer; he just hasn’t realized it. He was born in the wrong age - an era where the world has already grown tame. With the advent of fully immersive virtual reality, however, that’s all going to change. A revolutionary new game - Chronicle - makes much bolder claims than the competition. It offers a perfect simulation in a new world with quests, magic, monsters, and gods - but Chronicle’s biggest draw is something irresistible: While players are logged in, they have extra time to live. In Corbin’s world, he may be average; he may work hard for no recognition; he may never catch a break and he may seem trapped - but a new world brings new opportunities, and extra time presents an extra chance. Perhaps he’ll find that he’s not so average after all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Podehl. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/136396/bk_acx0_136396_sample.mp3.

The Cutoff Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
This story was originally published in Day One, a weekly literary journal dedicated to short fiction and poetry from emerging writers. The catcher is a statistical savant, the first baseman speaks in Buddhist koans, and the twin star pitchers may or may not derive mystical powers from scars betraying their Siamese birth. In fact, everything about the Birmingham Barons baseball team is remarkable - except for their performance on the field. For decades, the Barons have been woefully mediocre and Pudge Morrison - former better-than-average left fielder now long past his prime - has become the symbol for the team's disappointment. As the eccentric and ragtag squad begins yet another terrible season, Pudge despairs over what awaits him following retirement. But when a bizarre mid-year event kicks off an unprecedented winning streak, Pudge and his teammates confront a proposition even more daunting than failure: success. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Freakling , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
Taemon has always known he’s a bit different. But in the walled city of Deliverance, where everyone possesses a form of telekinesis known as psi, being different is dangerous. Being different can get you labeled a freakling. Or worse, see you banished to the Powerless Colony, where even the simplest tasks, like getting dressed or turning on the lights, must be done by hand. Taemon has learned to blend in, to pretend he’s just like everyone else in Deliverance. To pretend that he can’t send his mind wandering into objects and see exactly how they work. But Taemon’s brother, Yens, suspects the truth, and he’ll stop at nothing - even murder - to expose Taemon’s secret. In this thrilling dystopian novel from newcomer Lana Krumwiede, Taemon must choose between accepting his life among the freaklings or fighting for the destiny he’s never wanted - and all that comes with it. ungekürzt.
