| Devil in a Blue Dress by Walter Mosley | |
| Narrator: Paul Winfield | Publisher: Audio Renaissance Tapes |
| Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins is a black war veteran just fired from his job. Now he's drinking in a friend's bar, wondering how he'll meet his mortgage. That's when DeWitt Albright, a quietly vicious white man in a white linen suit walks in, and offers Easy good money if he'll just do a little job for him: find Miss Daphne Monet, a blonde beauty known to frequent black jazz clubs. It seems simple enough, but Easy soon discovers that Albright isn't the only one looking for the lovely Miss Monet—isn't the only one who's ready to kill anyone, including Easy, who might get in the way. | |

| Redemption by Leon Uris | |
| Narrator: Charles Keating | Publisher: Harper Audio |
| As he did first so brilliantly in Trinity, in Redemption Leon Uris continues to explore the saga of the long-frustrated Irish people and the growing momentum of their heroic and defiant journey toward independence. Set against the dramatic backdrop of increased unrest in Ireland, adventures to New Zealand and Egypt, and the disaster at Gallipoli, and climaxing with the Irish Easter uprising of 1916, Redemption weaves together unforgettable new characters as well as those the world came to know so well in Trinity: Rory Larkin—the novel's hero—transformed from a seething wild colonial boy into a devoted Irish patriot; his father, Liam Larkin, the middle son forced to emigrate from Ireland to New Zealand in 1895 becomes a sheep baron; and the continuing story of the Weed-Hubble ruling clan. | |

However one defines it, this 'virtual reality' is clearly both the strangest and most radically innovative of today's computer developments. These groundbreaking essays from MIT Press present state-of-the-art descriptions of the emerging mental geography of cyberspace. | |
