Captain Ivan Vorpatril, cousin to imperial troubleshooter
Miles Vorkosigan, is enjoying his life on Komarr, far from the
politics of his home system. But when an old friend asks him to
protect a young woman who may be on the hit list of a criminal
syndicate, his chivalrous nature takes over. Tej Arqua and her
half-sister are fleeing the violent overthrow of their clan, and
Tej may possess a secret that could corrupt the heart of a highly
regarded Barrayaran family. Ivan is prepared to do anything
necessary to protect Tej—up to and including making the
ultimate sacrifice: the treasured and hard-won freedom from
his own fate as a scion of Barrayar.

If you need an appendectomy, he can do it with an arrowhead. If you
have a condition nobody can diagnose, he can identify and treat it. Hardly
anything is off-limits for Dr. Timothy J. Lepore. He’s surgeon, medical
examiner, sports doctor, unofficial psychologist, accidental homicide detective, and occasional veterinarian for Nantucket. He has treated various
VIPs but makes house calls for anyone and lets people pay him nothing—or
anything, like oatmeal-raisin cookies or a weather-beaten .44 Magnum.
Ultimately, Island Practice is about a doctor essential to a community at a
time when medicine is increasingly money-driven and impersonal.

The Nightshifted Trilogy, Book 2
by Cassie Alexander
Read by Tai Sammons
Check in to County Hospital’s secret ward—where paranormal
activities lead to medical emergencies for one tireless nurse.
After surviving a brutal vampire attack, nurse Edie Spence is ready
to get back to work attending to supernatural creatures in need of
medical help. But her nursing skills are put to the test when she witnesses a hit-and-run on her lunch break. The injured pedestrian is
not only a werewolf, he’s a pack leader, and now Edie’s stuck in the
middle of an all-out were-war. With two rival packs fighting tooth
and nail, Edie has no intention of crossing enemy lines. But when she
meets her patient’s nephew—a tattooed werewolf with an alluring
predatory gleam in his eye—Edie can’t help but choose sides. But can
she trust this dangerous new ally?
“Launches a new series that should appeal to fans of
medical thrillers as well as urban fantasy.”

Games without Rules
Games without Rules provides revelatory insight into a country at the center
of political debate.
Most Westerners still see the war in Afghanistan as a contest between democracy and Islamist fanaticism, but that war sits atop an older
struggle. Tamim Ansary draws on his Afghan
background, Muslim roots, and Western and
Afghan sources to illuminate the long, internal
struggle that the outside world has never fully
understood.
Defender of the Realm, 1940–1965
