    The Outcast Brigade: Outcasts Series #1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 294min
    They were not wanted where they came from. They were not welcome anywhere. They were outcasts, rootless and friendless, until luck or destiny threw them together. A former Apache scout shunned by his tribe, an ex-Union Army major, a former Confederate captain, and two army deserters, all forced to band together to stay alive. That is, as long as they could avoid killing each other.Now they were needed, but could they bury their anger and work together long enough to do what they had to do? Could they make it to Mexico to rescue a band of Apaches who had been captured and sold into slavery? It was no easy task, because even if they managed to not kill each other, there were plenty of others eager to do it for them. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Taylor.

    Odd Wolf: The Odd Series #3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min
    Being the new wolf in town isn't easy, but Lynwood Pierce is used to being on the outside. He often finds himself buried knee-deep in politics before he can figure out where the best place to grab a cup of coffee might be, but this small town is different - she is different. Dara is a bitch in more ways than one. Running a pack might not have been her dream job, but she's a firm believer that life happens while you're making other plans. A rogue on her turf means she's going to fight, and she is ready to face the challenge. A woman with no plans to be tamed and a rootless wolf with no plans to stick around shouldn't have more than a brief encounter and be done. However, when Dara meets Lynwood, the call to mate might drown out logic altogether. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hollie Jackson.

    The 90 Day Rule , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 280min
    When playing by the rules means stepping over the line….   Sometimes starting over means trying out assault and battery, especially when the object of violence is a cheating husband caught in the act. Restraining orders aside, safety comes in numbers and having certain…standards.For Jessamine chaos and capitulation are facts of life. Giving up dreams to service her husband’s ambitions and enabling the same blind submission in her own daughter end abruptly, leaving her rootless, homeless, and destitute.For some people, it is the kindness of strangers that makes the difference, but for Jess it is the unlikely alliance of the mother-in-law from hell, a devastatingly handsome basketball coach, and a phalanx of determined team members who convince a woman of a certain age that beginning again doesn’t mean giving up or giving in.The only problem is…there’s that pesky 90 day rule. ungekürzt.

    The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min
    Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky met in war-torn 1960s Israel. Both were gifted young psychology professors: Kahneman a rootless son of Holocaust survivors who saw the world as a problem to be solved, Tversky a voluble, instinctual blur of energy. In this breathtaking new audiobook, Michael Lewis tells the extraordinary story of a relationship that became a shared mind: one which created the field of behavioural economics, revolutionising everything from Big Data to medicine, from how we are governed to how we spend, from high finance to football. Kahneman and Tversky, shows Michael Lewis, helped shape the world in which we now live - and may well have changed, for good, humankind's view of its own mind.

    Atticus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 422min
    Ron Hansen has won an Award in Literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for his rich writing and poetic style. Atticus begins in the vein of a contemporary western. As it unfolds, it includes an intriguing murder mystery and a dramatic parable of the prodigal son. For years, prosperous Colorado rancher Atticus Cody has tried to understand his rootless son, Scott, who is now living a marginal life in Mexico. When he learns that Scott is dead, apparently by suicide, Atticus travels to Mexico to claim the body. Instead, he discovers evidence of murder and a trail of clues that will lead him to a strange and wonderful epiphany. Suspense and conflict, love and forgiveness combine in this deft story of Atticus’ search for his son. Each character stands out, sharply etched, against the bright Mexican landscape. ungekürzt.

    Twentynine Palms: A True Story of Murder, Marines, and the Mojave , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 568min
    August 2, 1991, Twentynine Palms, California: a troubled Marine who has recently returned from the Gulf War savagely murders two young girls. One was about to turn 16, the other 21. Exquisitely and inexorably, Deanne Stillman uses this tragedy as a prism through which she examines a rootless culture of fatherless families, shattered dreams, and relentless violence. She also traces the family histories of each murder victim back for generations, in one case to the Donner Party and the other to a shack in the Philippines. In haunting, vivid prose, she creates a far-reaching story of America itself, carrying us into the empty white heart of the Mojave, as we meet and come to know the modern nomads who turn to the West for salvation, only to be devoured by its false promise. ungekürzt.

    Up in the Air , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
    Ryan Bingham's job as a Career Transition Counselor - he fires people - has kept him airborne for years. Although he has come to despise his line of work, he has come to love the culture of what he calls "Airworld" - finding contentment within pressurized cabins, anonymous hotel rooms, and a wardrobe of wrinkle-free slacks. With a letter of resignation sitting on the desk of his boss and the hope of a job with a mysterious consulting firm, Ryan Bingham is agonizingly close to his ultimate goal, his Holy Grail: one million frequent flier miles. But before he achieves this long-desired freedom, conditions begin to deteriorate. With perception, wit, and wisdom, Up in the Air combines brilliant social observation with an acute sense of the psychic costs of our rootless existence, and confirms Walter Kirn as one of the most savvy chroniclers of American life. ungekürzt.

But all of this changes when he meets Tim, Charlotte's 3--something literary agent with whom Oscar becomes hopelessly infatuated. While he struggles to understand Tim's politics and his rejection of religion, Oscar's developing friendship with Tim affects a profound change in the young man, making him want to understand the world and his place in it.
