  Step into the world of The Chimes, Charles Dickens’ moving holiday tale that explores themes of hope, redemption, and the human spirit. In this lesser-known but equally touching story, Dickens introduces us to Toby "Trotty" Veck, a poor and humble messenger who has lost faith in himself and society. On New Year's Eve, Trotty is visited by spirits through the chimes of the church bells, who reveal to him visions of despair, resilience, and the possibility for change. 
  Through Trotty’s journey, Dickens crafts a powerful message about overcoming cynicism and finding hope, even in difficult times. With rich, descriptive language and heartfelt storytelling, The Chimes resonates with the same warmth and compassion as A Christmas Carol and is perfect for anyone who loves Victorian literature or holiday tales with a meaningful twist. 
  Expertly narrated to bring Dickens’ vivid characters and atmospheric London setting to life, this audiobook is a memorable addition to any holiday season. 
  Start listening to The Chimes today and rediscover the enduring values of love, hope, and renewal as we welcome a new year!

  There is one last chance to save the democracy George Washington founded. That last chance is Washington himself. 
  It is 2028 and a certain president wants a third term. The Constitution shouldn’t allow it but the Supreme Court has found a workaround. The electoral system has been mangled. The media is a joke. Voters can barely be troubled to vote. But thanks to a team of scientists George Washington has been brought from the past to regain the presidency. Written by New York Times bestselling author Paul Greenberg, A Third Term tells the story of how hard Candidate Washington has to fight to win in these corrupt times. Riddled with pneumonia, possessing dentures fashioned from slave’s teeth, and an aristocratic sensibility tempered by war and religious faith, the Father of Our Country requires considerable rehabilitation to challenge the man he only refers to as “The Tyrant.” Fortunately a wily campaign manager and a sexy personal trainer are there by his side.

  Morning comes to New York city. The world teeters on the brink of our final war, and the air is too hot, too thin. People struggle to breathe, despite their puffing oxygen concentrator units, while they make their way on the sidewalks lined with the outstretched hands of the homeless. 
  Another mammal is on the sidewalk, a thriving rat dragging a piece of pizza. A woman screams while a nearby man marvels at the creature. “How much food is being thrown away to support thirty million of these mammals while so many Homo sapiens go hungry?” He snaps a picture of the rat and asks, “Is that pepperoni?” This chaotic meeting leads to a friendship between the man, the woman, and her son. 
  Grace is a physicist, brilliant, beautiful, tasked with calculating entry paths of titan missile warheads---and filled with worry for her autistic son. Androgynous, eccentric Bob doesn’t care what Grace looks like. Grace feels like he looks into her when he asks his unusual questions: “Does your job make you feel hopeful?” 
  Jack, eleven, is uncoordinated, autistic, genius, and afraid he’ll never have friends. Bob sees Jack’s quirks as gifts, the potential to do anything, the future we could have if more people were like him. He takes the time to listen to Jack’s endless questions and answers them patiently. 
  These three unlikely friends, with the help of others, give the world a gift. If used it will save us. Jack shouts, “Everything can change.” Can they convince the world to accept the gift? Can we save ourselves?
