#1 NY Times Author Brandon Sanderson’s New Novella
Now Available for Free at Audible.com
Brandon Sanderson, the author of the final work in the acclaimed The Wheel of Time fantasy series, has published a new novella, the audio version of which is being offered free for a limited time only. Narrated by award-winning voice actor Oliver Wyman, Legion will be available free of charge through Audible.com for the next three months.
Described as a “provocative entertainment from a writer of great originality and seemingly limitless gifts,” Legion is a wonderful display of Sanderson’s talent for crafting a story that is riveting and imaginative, and the thrills and suspense come just as frequently as the trenchant meditations on personal identity and the role of technology in society.
As Leeds engages in a global search for Razon, Sanderson touches on a formidable assortment of complex questions: the nature of time, the mysteries of the human mind, the potential uses of technology, and the volatile connection between politics and faith.
To download Legion, visit this page.

He is the author of the Mistborn trilogy as well as The Gathering Storm and Towers of Midnight, and he has recently launched a ten-novel epic fantasy series, The Stormlight Archive. The first of these novels, The Way of Kings, was released in 2010 to widespread acclaim. A Nebraska native, Sanderson earned his Master’s degree in Creative Writing from Brigham Young University in 2005. He currently resides in American Fork, Utah.

Publisher’s Summary
Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.
Clare and Henry’s story unfolds from both points of view, depicting the effects of time travel on their marriage and their passionate love for each other. They attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals: steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

Publisher’s Summary
All is not well in Margrave, Georgia.
The sleepy, forgotten town hasn’t seen a crime in decades, but within the span of three days it witnesses events that leave everyone stunned. An unidentified man is found beaten and shot to death on a lonely country road. The police chief and his wife are butchered on a quiet Sunday morning. Then a bank executive disappears from his home, leaving his keys on the table and his wife frozen with fear.
The easiest suspect is Jack Reacher – an outsider, a man just passing through. But Reacher is not just any drifter. He is a tough ex-military policeman, trained to think fast and act faster. He has lived with and hunted the worst: the hard men of the American military gone bad.

Publisher’s Summary
A century has passed since the Norman Conquest, and England is still a colony of foreign warlords. Prince John is plotting to seize the throne from his brother, Richard the Lion-Hearted, and Robin Hood and his merry band are making fools out of the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Wilfred, knight of Ivanhoe, the son of Cedric the Saxon, is in love with his father’s ward, Rowena. Cedric, however, wishes her to marry Athelstane, a descendant of the royal Saxon line, whom Cedric hopes will restore the Saxon succession.
With a colorful cast of chivalric knights and fair ladies, this action-filled novel comes complete with feats of derring-do, the pageantry of a tournament, and a great flame-engulfed castle – all of which makes it the most enthralling of Scott’s creations.

FREE Audiobook – The End of the Affair by Graham Greene

Publisher’s Summary:
Graham Greene’s evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.
The End of the Affair, set in London during and just after World War II, is the story of a flourishing love affair between Maurice Bendrix and Sarah Miles. After a violent episode at Maurice’s apartment, Sarah suddenly and without explanation breaks off the affair.
This very intimate story about what actually constitutes love is enhanced by Firth’s narration. “This book struck me very, very particularly at the time when I read it,” he said, “and I thought my familiarity with it would give the journey a personal slant.”
The End of the Affair is part of Audible’s A-List Collection, featuring the world’s most celebrated actors narrating distinguished works of literature that each star helped select.
