NICHOLAS EVANS The Horse Whisperer Read by Peter Coyote 4 cassettes When her teenage daughter and the girl's horse are injured in a tragic accident, Annie Graves journeys across the continent in search of Tom Booker, the Horse Whisperer, in the hope that he can use his ancient gift to help both the horse and the maimed girl.
HAROLD ROBBINS The Raiders (The sequel to The Carpetbaggers) Read by James Naughton 2 cassettes Thirty-four years after penning one of the bestselling novels of all time, Robbins has written a sequel-and while he hasn't matched the potboiling heat of The Carpetbaggers here, this is still his most entertaining novel in years. It's now 1951, and Jonas Cord (read: Howard Hughes) has turned his father's company into an empire. He has remarried his ex-wife, recognized the daughter he once rejected and only regrets not having a son to whom he can leave his legacy. While visiting Las Vegas, Jonas buys a casino and incurs the wrath of the mob by shutting down the casino's money-laundering operation. To avoid appearing at a Senate hearing on his business practices, the tycoon flees to Mexico, where he looks up an old girlfriend-and learns that he has a son by her, 25-year-old Jonas Enrique Raul Cord y Batista (aka Bart), who has inherited his father's looks, brains and thirst for power. Father and son team up to streamline the Cord empire, launch casinos in Las Vegas and Cuba (where they rely on Bart's family connection to the Cuban dictator) and vanquish greedy senators and a vengeful mafia. But sparks fly between them as they compete in the bedroom-and in the boardroom...
BELVA PLAIN The Carousel Read by Blair Brown 2 cassettes Best-selling author Belva Plain follows the enormous success of Whispers and Daybreak with another explosive novel that explores the realities simmering below the surface of a seemingly admirable Amencan family. In the opening pages of The Carousel a woman is looking at an exquisite music box, a silver carousel. She is pensive and reflects upon how this beautiful object has linked the momentous events of a family's life. She has married into that family, the Greys, whose successful business is nationally known. The sun has long shone upon the patriarch, Oliver Grey, his two sons Ian and Clive, and his niece and nephew, Amanda and Dan. Oliver has recently handed over control of the business to his two sons and his nephew. Amanda has a non-voting share. Now the sky has clouded over and terrible storms arise as a series of incidents threatens to destroy the family... Amanda is making furious demands upon the business. Ian's greed and his adultery collide with Clive's jealousy. And the five-year-old daughter of Dan and his wife has been the victim of sexual abuse. The Greys, pillars of their upstate New York community, are being torn apart. And before their ordeal comes to an end someone will be the victim of murder. As she did in the enormously successful Whispers, Belva Plain tells a timely story of a family with a dark and dirty secret. With the additional touches of mystery--a new territory for Belva Plain --The Carousel confirms her place as one of our most compelling and popular writers.
CARL HIAASEN Stormy Weather Read by Edward Asner 2 cassettes In a hurricane-devastated Florida, a group of questionable individuals attempt to take advantage of the disaster, including a bogus insurance agent and a crooked building inspector, and an eccentric character becomes the only hope for the victims.
CHRISTINE BELL The Perez Family Read by Alfred Molina 2 cassettes Fast-moving, hilarious epic novel about a Cuban ex-prisoner's arrival in America in the Mariel boatlift? Strange, but true. Juan Raul Perez was imprisoned 20 years ago for his political views in his native Cuba, while his wife and young daughter fled to Miami. Few letters have gotten through in the ensuing 20 years, and Juan doesn't know what to expect when he finds them again. But before the reunion, Juan must survive the dizzy world of refugee relocation (he's sent to the Orange Bowl) in his frail and nearly toothless condition. He must also survive wild Dottie, a fellow Marielita who latches on to him because they share the same last name and she believes couples will be resettled first. A rollicking story full of surprises; quite out of the ordinary.
WINSTON GROOM Gump & Co. (The sequel to Forrest Gump) Read by Will Patton 2 cassettes Forrest Gump is back, along with Ollie North, New Coke, and the outrageous Eighties in Winston Groom's sequel to Forrest Gump. The Gump phenomenon continues! Forrest Gump is back! The lovable man for all ages, who captured America's heart in the #1 bestselling novel Forrest Gump and in the blockbuster film, returns in the long-awaited sequel to the book hailed by Larry King as "the funniest novel I have ever read." A little older, and wiser in his own unique way, he is still running through the kaleidoscopic events of our times -- and straight into the age of greed and instant gratification known as the 1980s. When Gump & Co. begins, the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has gone bust and Forrest is flat broke, sweeping floors in a New Orleans strip joint and trying to raise his son, little Forrest, who needs his father more than ever. As always in Forrest's easy-come-easy-go life, a change in the weather is never far off...and when the opportunity to play championship football comes his way once more, Forrest is back in the limelight and in the money. Forrest's remarkable, touching, and utterly comic odyssey has just begun: in store for him is his own dubious recipe for adding life to New Coke; an encounter with Ollie North; and a chance yet again to unwittingly twist the nose of history.
ANNA QUINDLEN One True Thing Read by Laura Linney 2 cassettes When Ellen learns of her mother Kate's cancer, the disease is already far advanced.

But as Kate's illness progresses, and her pain increases, so do the dosages of morphine. And so does Ellen's belief that her mother's suffering is unendurable.
TOM YOUNGHOLM The Celestial Bar Read by the author 2 cassettes Lacking direction in his life and relationships, a musician takes refuge in an imaginary, magical tavern, where through his spiritual guide, an attractive waitress, he gains insight into the underlying principles of spiritual fulfillment.

MORE DETAILS ON SHIPPING AND HANDLING:
A shipping/handling discount of $2.00 will be applied to each additional item paid together and shipped at the same time. Simply use the PAY NOW button after you are finished buying. Your total will be automatically calculated with the S/H discount. Items checked-out separately or paid separately will not receive the S/H discount. Once we receive a payment we will start processing it and additional items will not be combined with that order. If you select to use PRIORITY MAIL, all items in your order must be shipped by that service.
Please note that our S/H rates are flat fees that may include a handling fee and therefore may be higher than the actual shipping cost. The S/H discount for each additional item after the first one is $2.00 off the listed S/H rate. Note that the S/H discount will not be as substantial when combining heavier or bigger items or lots. For instance, if you were to combine two lots of 100 CDs with a S/H rate of $20.00, after receiving the $2.00 S/H discount you would still pay $18.00 S/H for the second lot.
EBay allows sellers to charge reasonable handling fees per each item. Upon bidding, you are entering into an agreement to pay for the item that includes the shipping and handling fees. We state all S/H rates upfront so that the buyers can decide BEFORE BIDDING whether they are willing to add the specified cost to the sale price of their items. Please do not bid if you don't agree with our S/H rates; they are non-negotiable.
PAYMENT: Payment must be sent within 10 days from the date your first item was purchased. Please use eBay checkout (PAY NOW button) after you are finished buying. You will be given your total calculated with the S/H discount. If sending a money order, please print a copy of your checkout or write a note with your item number/s and include it with your payment. Only one checkout must be completed and one payment must be made for all items to be shipped together in order to receive the S/H discount. Once we receive a payment we will start processing it and additional items will not be combined with that order.
INSURANCE: U.S. buyers may add insurance to their orders during the checkout. We cannot be responsible for packages damaged or lost by the carrier.
SALES TAX: We are required to collect a 6.75% sales tax from ILLINOIS buyers. Sales tax will be added to total sale price only (excluding S/H or insurance fees) to all orders shipped to an Illinois address.
