Second Ascent

"Hidden powers. Mind numbing geometry. But is it reality or illusion? One year after the world's first space elevator ascent, a new megastructure is taking shape high above the equator. But for all its wonders, there's trouble brewing on this colossal ring of carbon. The people who roam its high frontier come in two distinct forms, but only one of them can Sense Beyond. Down on the surface, Sahalie Spark carries a secret. At first glance, it's an ordinary glass prism that splits light into colors. But educational toys aren't magically delivered from space, and they certainly don't wink when you're not looking. Whatever powers this prism holds will remain hidden until she makes a second ascent. Materials scientist Adam Estrada has his own problem. How is a three-dimensional container larger on the inside than on the outside? He's crafting an experiment to find out, but it will require cooperation from an alien who weaves exotic carbon allotropes like Nana knits baby socks."

Like most, she dismisses the story out of Ecuador as nonsense, but when a Korean billionaire offers exclusive access, Sahalie connects the dots. It's not an oil platform, it's a tether into space, and it could be the solution to the debris catastrophe that has crippled spaceflight for years. Questions remain, answers are elusive, and danger lurks along this vertical railway. With the world watching, Sahalie will need to climb ever higher to discover the truth or die trying. From the author of the Quantum series comes an exciting new novel framed in real science that takes listeners on a journey of discovery through the back doors of reality."

Articulate: A Deaf Memoir of Voice

"A deaf writer’s exploration of language, communication, and what it means to be articulate—and her journey to reclaim her voice Rachel Kolb was born profoundly deaf the same year that the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, and she grew up as part of the first generation of deaf people with legal rights to accessibility services. Still, from a young age, she contorted herself to expectations set by a world that prioritizes hearing people. So even while she found clarity and meaning in American Sign Language (ASL) and written literature, she learned to speak through speech therapy and to piece together missing sounds through lipreading and an eventual cochlear implant. Now, in Articulate, Kolb blends personal narrative with commentary to explore the different layers of deafness, language, and voice. She tells the story of how, over time, she came to realize that clear or articulate self-expression isn’t just a static pinnacle to reach, a set of words to pronounce correctly, but rather a living and breathing process that happens between individual human beings. In chronicling her own voice and the many ways she’s come to understand it, Kolb illuminates the stakes and complexities of finding mutual and reciprocal forms of communication. Part memoir, part cultural exploration, Articulate details a life lived among words in varied sensory forms and considers why and how those words matter. Told through rich storytelling, analysis, and humor, this is a linguistic coming-of-age in both Deaf and hearing worlds, challenging us to consider how language expresses our humanity—and offering more ways we might exist together. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook."
