About this listen
In The Absconders, the fifth book in The Branches of Time, we find ourselves suddenly immersed in the life of Elaine Andrews who is living in the 1940s. Who is she and what does she have to do with our favorite people in this series, Skye Kent and Remington Hart?
As the story weaves back and forth through various years, Cade, Skye’s brother, is able to resolve his dilemma in 1831, while Skye and Rem have struggles of their own in 1907, even though their passion for each other continues to grow.
Follow along as loose ends are tied up and new threads are unraveled. Fans of Jane O’Brien’s bestselling series, A Slip in Time, won't want to miss this thrilling spinoff, Branches of Time and its fifth installment, The Absconders.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Two astronomers have detected a strange, pulsing signal from deep space. Within hours, the US government goes into lockdown, restricting airspace and scrubbing scientific data. Was the signal an intercepted communication revealing alarming plans for an enemy’s military strike? Or has humanity at long last found proof of extraterrestrial life?

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

My best book yet! Great feedback from early readers: *This is a great weekend, get away from the world book. *Two best friends set out to find answers. *light-hearted book takes Tanner though plot twists and turns A dragon appears above a village so small it has no name. The same day, Tanner, an orphan, inherits only a sword, and a medallion. He also finds a warrant issued which demands he be delivered unharmed to the King's Protector years ago, which would made him only five or six years old at the time. The warrant is his only clue. He must seek out the man who issued it to find out why. ...

Robbie Garcia isn't your ordinary high school student. He can teleport. And in King City, if you've got a superpower, that means you can sign up to be a sidekick, so he does just that. Wanting to become a sidekick (and hopefully a fully-fledged superhero one day) was all Robbie dreamed about. But, like they always say, be careful what you wish for. No sooner than his first day of high school, does the balancing act commence. Making time for his best friend? Finally getting to go out with his crush? Training with his superhero mentor? Not to mention, there's a psychotic villain on the loose ...

Story
Six months into his virtual life, traveling to colonize distant planet Rayas, Gabe Oliveri devises shapeshifter magic for a campaign in the Classic Maya world. In the video-game time travel that is history class, beliefs are real, and fuel Gabe’s magical powers. But the AI’s Maya campaign amounts to gringo-grade tourism. Because it skips Mexico’s most challenging belief – shapeshifting shamans. Specifically, were-jaguars. In the lush rainforests of Mexico and Guatemala, the Stone Age flourished into one of Earth’s great civilizations. The Maya mastered mathematics and astronomy. ...

When those submitting to the illegal mandates suddenly died, there were few survivors. Those survivors were mostly children. The few surviving adults began gathering children and planning for a completely different future. A future away from death, gangs, and other dangers. The major danger was the invasion by Chinese troops disguised as UN troops. What will happen? Who survived? How will they fight the ...
