Reviews-
“It's the last push to reach safety for Long Pork and his very extended family. Lots of fighting, swearing, laughs and tears as Jace carries on with his bumbling, brilliant plans, stumpageddon and his "thoughts out loud". There is continuous action, with barely a moment to catch your breath throughout the whole book.” -PJ Lea, 5-star Goodreads review
“It's hard to keep coming up with unique situations and solutions to those situations but Jake bible does it with a F*ck ton of humor and violence. I like the characters, scratch that, I love the characters. I recommend it for the horror/humor crowd.” -Stephanie H, 5-star Goodreads review

Super Powereds: Year One (2 of...

Drew Hayes

Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop student with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes.Five of this year’s freshmen are extra special. They have a secret aside from their abilities, one that they must guard from even their classmates. Because for every one person in the world with abilities they can control, there are three who lack such skill. These lesser super beings, Powereds as they are called, have always been treated as burdens and second class citizens. Though there has been ample research in the area, no one has ever succeeded in turning a Powered into a regular human, let alone a Super.That is, until now…Performed by Jonathan Lee Taylor, Darius Johnson, Alejandro Ruiz, Rana Kay, Megan Poppy, JJ Johnson, Zeke Alton, Kay Eluvian, Michael John Casey, James Konicek, Lolita Horne, Matthew Schleigh, Yasmin Tuazon, Rayner Gabriel, John Kielty, Tanja Milojevic, Matthew Bassett, Scott McCormick, Steven Carpenter, Colleen Delany, Natalie Van Sistine, Lydia Kraniotis, Emlyn McFarland, Henry Kramer, Chris Stinson, Anthony Palmini, Joel David Santner, Robb Moreira, Patrick Bussink, Mort Shelby, Holly Adams, Torian Brackett, Jessica Lauren Ball, Rose Supan, Carolyn Kashner, Nora Achrati, Marni Penning, Ken Jackson, Niusha Nawab, Nazia Chaudhry, David Zitney, Shanta Parasuraman, and Nanette Savard.

Cygnus Loop - Score by Andy Maag

May Oskan

Cygnus Loop is the soundtrack to an imaginary planetarium show. Told in compact episodes and bathed in synthesizer music reminiscent of 1970s-era space programming, what begins as an astronomy lecture gradually devolves into a curious autopsy of theoretical math, confirmation bias, biological tendencies, and humankind’s search for meaning. As the scale of measurement expands, a story emerges of isolation and chance encounters.The creators suggest listening to this piece in its entirety, preferably in a dark room.

20'000 Leagues Under the Sea

Jules Verne

Originally serialized from March 1869 through June 1870 in Pierre-Jules Hetzel's fortnightly periodical, the Magasin d'éducation et de récréation and wildly acclaimed on it's release, 20,000 Leagues under the Sea is perhaps Jules Verne most well known title. 
The world is abuzz with tales of a giant mysterious marine animal, roaming the waterways of the worlds, a menace to shipping. The American Government sends out the Frigate "Abraham Lincoln" to hunt the beast. Aboard is the scientist Professor Arronax, his manservant Conceil and the famed Canadian Whaler; Ned Land. 
However these three soon discover that far from being a gigantic Narwhale, the object is in fact a fabulous underwater vessel, built and captained by the mysterious Captain Nemo. As he takes the three on a marvellous underwater tour of the world, will they ever be able to escape back to civilisation? 
Narrated by Michael Ward.
