    Plunder: A Memoir of Family Property and Nazi Treasure
    A New York Times Critics' Best Nonfiction Book of 2021 Canadian Jewish Literary Award for Biography From a gifted young writer, the story of his quest to reclaim his family's apartment building in Poland-and of the astonishing entanglement with Nazi treasure hunters that follows Menachem Kaiser's brilliantly told story, woven from improbable events and profound revelations, is set in motion when the author takes up his Holocaust-survivor grandfather's former battle to reclaim the family's apartment building in Sosnowiec, Poland. Soon, he is on a circuitous path to encounters with the long-time residents of the building, and with a Polish lawyer known as "The Killer." A surprise discovery-that his grandfather's cousin not only survived the war, but wrote a secret memoir while a slave laborer in a vast, secret Nazi tunnel complex-leads to Kaiser being adopted as a virtual celebrity by a band of Silesian treasure seekers who revere the memoir as the indispensable guidebook to Nazi plunder. Propelled by rich original research, Kaiser immerses readers in profound questions that reach far beyond his personal quest. What does it mean to seize your own legacy? Can reclaimed property repair rifts among the living? Plunder is both a deeply immersive adventure story and an irreverent, daring interrogation of inheritance-material, spiritual, familial, and emotional.

    In Limbo: An Immigrant Journey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
    Her dream had become reality: married to her lover, living in a luxurious home on the California coast where her sons would have opportunities that did not exist in her native Croatia, green card in hand so she could teach. Then it all fell apart: the unbridgeable rifts between her and her husband, having to live on her own in a country she barely knew, and, most terrifying, the discovery that her sons were technically in the country illegally and could be deported at a moment's notice. In Limbo: An Immigrant's Journey is the moving story of one woman's struggle to make the United States her home. It is the story of love found and lost, then found again. It is the story of hope, despair, and, then again, hope. Based on the actual experiences of its author, In Limbo: An Immigrant's Journey navigates the deep and at times treacherous waters of human relationships, and takes us into the frightening and indifferent harbours of government bureaucracy. In Limbo: An Immigrant's Journey has special relevance in today's world where illegal immigration is such a controversial issue. Julija Suput presents the voice of the unheard: families whose members are documented, others who cannot speak out, fearful that if they do, they will bring about the very situation they wish to avoid, the breakup of their families. ungekürzt.

    Taliesin Throckmartin killed her family on her wedding day. She remembers everything. Her own two hands ripping them apart. The screams. The shocked, blood-spattered face of her fiancé. The only thing she doesn’t know is...why? She loves her parents, and likes helping people. She might be a little different, as an autistic druid, but that doesn’t make her a murderer. With no other culprits in sight, however, her fiancé commits her to the Broadmoor Asylum, where she will be forced to live out the rest of her days on medication that stunts her magical abilities. Enter the wild and likely insane Louis Blou, a man who claims to be the last of an extinct clan of shapeshifters. Refusing to let Taliesin waste away with the rest of the inmates, Louis orchestrates their escape, leaving a trail of dead bodies in their wake. On the way home to his ragtag pack of criminals, evidence of a conspiracy is uncovered. The Five Families who hold sway over Louisiana territory are plotting to resurrect forbidden magic, using it to enslave an entire race.

    The Rift Uprising , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 745min
    The first story in the fast-paced action-adventure The Rift Uprising trilogy - an enthralling mix of speculative fiction and military thriller - in which a young soldier comes to question the monsters she's trained to fight against...and the monsters she fights for. Seventeen-year-old Ryn Whittaker is a Citadel: an elite, enhanced soldier specially chosen to guard a Rift, a mysterious and dangerous portal to alternate Earths scientists cannot control or close. Trained from the age of 14, Ryn can run faster, jump farther, and fight better than a Navy SEAL - which is good when you're not sure if a laser-wielding Neanderthal or an ax-wielding Viking is trying to make it through the Rift and into your world. But the teenager's military conditioning and education have not prepared her for the boy who crosses through - a confused young man, seemingly lost and alone. While there's an immediate physical attraction, it's his intelligence and curiosity that throw Ryn off balance. The stranger asks disturbing questions about the Rift that Ryn herself has never considered - questions that lead her to wonder if everything about her life and what she's been told these past six years has been a lie. Are the Rifts as dangerous as her leaders say? Should her people really try to close them...or learn how to travel through them? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Claire Coffee.
