Last Lord of the Fey: Coalescing Audiobook

"Realms to explore, dragons to consume, spells to learn, and a domain to expand. Tristan Winterbloom has successfully arrived at the Citadel of Essence in Yustat. His half-brother, Bertram Anorox, resides there on a Pathfinder Company contract. At long last, Tristan can fulfill his grandfather's wishes and pass on the family's legacy and inheritance to his half-brother. Left to his devices, Tristan has many options before him. Wanting to rebuild his relationship with his half-brother, he chooses to enroll as a student. This also gives him plentiful access to other Realms through stable portals. A means to find dragons in their native habitat, hunt them, consume their essence crucibles to unlock more spell types, and drink their blood to become harder to kill. Not only that, but the vast repositories of knowledge contained within the Citadel will provide a boon to his continuing desire to master essence-weaving. And he will need every bit of prowess at his disposal, for the Fey Realm needs a ruler. There are still sealed portions of that place that need to be released, and time runs short before they will be lost forever. The time has come for Tristan to take all his knowledge, experience, training - and bring it all together. To coalesce into something more than he once was."

Last Lord of the Fey: Burgeoning

"Tristan Winterbloom, the last of his Elvish bloodline, was forced to flee the Kingdom of Bhant after he was blamed for the deaths of his mother and the household servants. Before his grandfather succumbed to poison, he charged Tristan with a mission: find his half brother, Bertram, and bring him back home. Tristan must travel south to the Sapphire Coast, a region ruled by mercantilism and filled with danger, thanks to the actions of a powerful archon. Tristan's travels will see him battle demonic creatures, delve into a Lost Realm, start a merchant fleet, sail across the seas to participate in a civil war, parley with pirates, and face off against the assassins hunting him down. Along the way, he will have to manage the Fey Realm's inhabitants, lift the seals locking portions of the realm away, and reintegrate the species kept apart for millennia. He will come into his own as the ruler of the Fey Realm, and begin to build the foundation of his burgeoning domain."

Grace in All Simplicity: Beauty, Truth, and Wonders on the Path to the Higgs Boson and New Laws of Nature

"In Grace in All Simplicity, listeners will delight in Cahn and Quigg's engaging prose and see how the infinite and the infinitesimal are joined. Today, physicists and astronomers are exploring distances from a billionth of a billionth of the human scale to the entire cosmos, and contemplating time intervals that range from less than a trillionth of a trillionth of a second out to far longer than the age of the universe. Leaving home in this metaphorical way requires devising new instruments that spectacularly expand our senses and conceiving original ways of thinking that expand our minds. This is at once an act of audacity and an exercise in humility. Grace in All Simplicity narrates the saga of how we have prospected for some of Nature's most tightly held secrets, the basic constituents of matter and the fundamental forces that rule them. Our current understanding of the world (and universe) we inhabit is the result of curiosity, diligence, and daring, of abstraction and synthesis, and of an abiding faith in the value of exploration. In these pages we will meet scientists of both past and present. Scientists themselves, Cahn and Quigg convey their infectious joy as they search for new laws of nature. Grace in All Simplicity is a thrilling voyage filled with improbable discoveries and the extraordinary community of people who make them. Together, we will travel the path to the Higgs boson, weigh the evidence for subliminal dark matter, and learn what makes scientists invoke a mysterious agent named 'dark energy.' We will behold the emergence of a compelling picture of matter and forces, simple in its structure, graceful in the interplay of its parts, but still tantalizingly incomplete."

Last Lord of the Fey: Awakening

"Across the countless realms of reality, no creatures are more dangerous than dragons. That's why the dragonslayers exist. Tristan Anorox was born into a legendary family of these warriors . . . as the unwanted half-breed. His father assigned him an impossible quarry when he came of age: to hunt a gods-damned fairy dragon. The smallest, most cunning, and most mischievous of all dragon species; at least according to the legends. None had been successfully hunted. When his two-year pursuit results in him being dragged into the Fey Realm, however, everything changes. Welcomed by the land of his ancestors, he experiences an awakening of his mother's bloodline and inherits a legacy that changes the trajectory of his fate. Unfortunately, there are those that seek the destruction of his bloodline and will see it annihilated by any means. With Felicity Glimmerwing as a companion—the very fairy dragon he was hunting—Tristan must return to the Mortal Realm to begin his journey towards power that was kept from him for so long . . . and become the Last Lord of the Fey."

Entropy: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)

"Until the middle of the nineteenth century entropy and energy were confused with one another. The intellectual fog slowly cleared and now these words name subtle and powerful concepts. Most people think they know what energy is, but few could define entropy. This Very Short Introduction traces the emergence of entropy and energy as distinct concepts, and explains how entropy spread from thermodynamics into statistical mechanics, probability theory and data science. It explains the implications of entropy for heat pumps, solar cells, carbon capture, and liquified natural gas. Quantum mechanics and gravity open new horizons for entropy, and when combined in the quantum theory of black holes, they call into question our current understanding of material reality."

Washington Is Burning: Corruption and Lies in The Age of Trump

"A DEVASTATING ACCOUNT OF AMERICAN MILITARY FOLLY AND POLITICAL DYSFUNCTION BY THE WASHINGTON EDITOR OF HARPER'S MAGAZINE Washington Is Burning reveals the inner workings of Trump's Washington—a grotesque carnival of corruption. Andrew Cockburn sets fire to US pieties, focusing on the spectacular greed at the heart of the nation's political system. Graft and self-interest have long typified both Democratic and Republican administrations. Cockburn charts the connections between the American military bureaucracy and the defense industry, which have created a senseless drive for ever-greater spending on arms. After the failed adventures of Afghanistan and Iraq, the Pentagon now seeks fresh rewards through inflating the threat from China and Iran, deploying time-tested techniques to boost the budget, including the invocation of supposedly superior enemy weapons development. The American empire has reached a watershed. With Trump back in the White House, Washington Is Burning is a must-listen account of unedifying practices in the US capital."

The Coming Storm: Power, Conflict and Warnings from History

"Brought to you by Penguin. A prescient, thoughtful and chilling examination of the current state of the world If there are lessons from history, now is the time when we need to heed them, so that we do not end up in another Great Power war because of the fatal combinations of jingoism, fear, fatalism, and sheer stupidity that set off the first major war of the 20th century. The great majority of people alive today have come of age in a world of remarkable stability, presided over by either one or two superpowers. This is not to say the world has been peaceful; but it has to an extent been predictable. As an increasing number of Great Powers now jostle for regional supremacy our world has become more fragile, unpredictable – and combustible. To understand the threats that face us in this complex new terrain, we must look to the lessons of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century – a time when Great Powers clashed and sought regional dominance, when nationalism and populism were on the rise, and many felt that globalization had failed them: a time, in other words, that carries eerie parallels with our own. © Odd Arne Westad 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

Murder on the Mississippi: The Shocking Crimes That Shaped Abraham Lincoln

"Murder, mob rule, and the making of Abraham Lincoln—the story of three racially motivated murders in Mississippi River towns from 1835 to 1838 that inspired the speech that put Lincoln on the national map—the Lyceum Address. Lynched: Five white gamblers suspected of aiding a slave insurrection in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Burned Alive: A Black man implicated in the death of a constable in St. Louis, Missouri. Gunned Down: A white abolitionist in Alton, Illinois. These weren't just acts of mob violence—they were warnings of a nation on the edge of collapse. In Murder on the Mississippi, award-winning historian Saladin Ambar unearths the horrors that shaped a young Abraham Lincoln's worldview, pushing him to find his political voice in one of the earliest and most pivotal speeches of his career. Confronted by lawlessness, racial terror, and his own inner demons, Lincoln's battle was political and deeply personal. From the flames of mob violence rose a young Lincoln, forged in fire and soon to contend with a nation at war with itself."
