  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  ''With a group of heroes gradually growing around him, Dash returns to the Forest Realm, treading in the ancient footpaths of those who came before, and many truths are at last revealed. The Three are something built into reality itself, a naturally occurring cosmic phenomenon, and their destiny takes priority over all other things. The Brain intends to destroy both good and evil, but countless of its unknowing instruments fill the universe. It is unclear what fate would befall all those associated with good and evil should the Brain succeed. It could mean the destruction of all intelligent life in the cosmos. To protect the people of Deluuvius, Dash and his friends choose to oppose the unknown by physically imprisoning the Three. But doubt within the group begins to grow as the cosmic drama unfolds.'' (This fully-voiced audio-drama has unique music, sound effects, and even a different voice for each character)

  The Relive Box and Other Stories

  While T.C. Boyle is known as one of our greatest American novelists, he is also an acknowledged master of the short story and is perhaps at his funniest, his most moving, and his most surprising in the short form. In The Relive Box, Boyle's sharp wit and rich imagination combine with a penetrating social consciousness to produce raucous, poignant, and expansive short stories defined by an inimitable voice. 
  From the collection's title story, featuring a Halcom X1520 Relive Box that allows users to experience anew almost any moment from their past to ""The Five-Pound Burrito,"" the tale of a man aiming to build the biggest burrito in town, the twelve stories in this collection speak to the humor, the pathos, and the struggle that is part of being human while relishing the whimsy of wordplay and the power of a story well told. In stories that span a variety of styles and genres, Boyle addresses the enduring concerns of the human mind and heart while taking on timely social concerns. The Relive Box is an exuberant, linguistically dazzling effort from a ""vibrant sensibility fully engaged with American society."" (The New York Times)
