    In the 50,000 years since Ryan Hunt was cremated, human history has taken several catastrophic turns. After nuclear annihilation came the volcanoes, and now there’s a plague bearing down on humanity.

    Ash Wednesday , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 538min
    Elizabeth was a practicing therapist, college professor, and single mother whose dysfunctional family dynamic only became worse after her mother died of cancer. Her grieving father could not afford the funeral his wife had wanted, and Elizabeth’s sisters wouldn’t help, so Elizabeth took over and had her mother cremated. But something very strange happened at the family ceremony to scatter her mother’s ashes, and Elizabeth’s life took a completely unexpected turn. When an attorney brought a mysterious package to her home, it set off a chain of events that challenged the very reality Elizabeth believed in, and led to the exposure of a secret her mother had kept since Elizabeth was born. The package contained a rare and special book that led to the discovery that Elizabeth had another family, one that went back 16 generations and followed an ancient tradition of Earth-based spirituality and magic. And included in the package was an heirloom, an ancient Celtic ring...one that would change Elizabeth’s life forever.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patricia Shade.

    True Forgiveness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 19min
    Tonight, we will take two aspects of the great mystery: true forgiveness, and the immortal eyes which see into eternity. "He said to them, 'When two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.' Then Peter said, 'Lord, how often shall my brothers sin against me and I forgive them?' and the answer came, 'Seventy times seven.'" The art of forgiveness must be practiced daily, but first we must learn how to forgive. Repentance and faith are conditions of forgiveness, but true forgiveness is forgetfulness. Christianity and its doctrines make no sense to the worldly-wise, so why are people Christians? The promise that the dead will rise doesn't make sense to the mortal mind when the body is cremated and burned to ash; yet only by believing the story of redemption, can you truly forgive. You must learn to distinguish between the eternal human who occupies a state, and the state itself. This is the only means to forgiveness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Clay Lomakayu.

He is ritually murdered, suffocated, kidnapped, and revived.  On his return to New York, he is in the power of the Live Corporation hedge fund seeking niche markets in evil. They require, as part of his management development, that he recover 50 million dollars from the son of an African dictator. In addition, he is required to provide cremated remains of 10 happy people so he can complete a ceremony to become an evil Druid.  Megan reveals she is madly in love with Connor, and Megan's attractive mother wonders why if he won't sleep with her daughter, he won't try her. How will Connor cope with all this disruption to his normally peaceful life?Humor, myth, and adventure combine as the story mixes Irish folklore and modern-day New York.

    Driving Bob East , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
    How much narcotic can a person stuff into a funeral urn? If the narcotic in question is the highly concentrated synthetic opiate known as fentanyl, the answer is about four million dollars worth. Rick Vaghn was not a happy man. Depressed and broke and still coming to grips with a war that ended for him a long time ago, he finds himself struggling to make ends meet as an independent mechanic in the big bad town known as LA. When a call from a local mortician interrupts his dull routine, he finds himself with an inheritance he never expected. Robert Hardy - Rick's old sergeant and mentor - is dead, and Rick is the only person in his will. Bob leaves Rick with only two things: his 1965 Harley Davidson pan-head motorcycle and himself in the form of a box full of newly cremated ashes. Puzzled at this turn of events, Rick does not know what to do with either the motorcycle or the cremains...until an old movie poster gives him an idea. To give Bob a sendoff worthy of an old Harley fan, Rick decides to drive Bob east - from LA to New Orleans - following the path that Fonda and Hopper took in the film Easy Rider. He and Bob would stop at every location in the movie and end the trip by spreading Bob's ashes in the notorious bar and whorehouse - the Big Easy's very own - Madame Tinkertoy's House of Blue Lights. A chance wreck on a back road in west Texas causes the urn full of Bob to be switched with an urn full of illegal narcotics, and Rick's voyage of nostalgia goes wrong when he discovers that he has to somehow get Bob back without losing his own life. ungekürzt.

    The Firebombing of Dresden: The History and Legacy of the Allies' Most Controversial Attack on Germany , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min
    Includes survivors' accounts of the attacks Discusses the various debates over the morality and necessity of targeting Dresden Includes footnotes and a bibliography for further reading Includes a table of contents "We saw terrible things: cremated adults shrunk to the size of small children, pieces of arms and legs, dead people, whole families burnt to death, burning people ran to and fro, burnt coaches filled with civilian refugees, dead rescuers and soldiers, many were calling and looking for their children and families, and fire everywhere, everywhere fire, and all the time the hot wind of the firestorm threw people back into the burning houses they were trying to escape from. I cannot forget these terrible details. I can never forget them." (Lothar Metzger, survivor) In the middle of February 1945, the Allies were steadily advancing against the Germans from both east and west, with British and American forces having repulsed the German offensive during the Battle of the Bulge and the Soviet Union's Red Army pushing from the east. Indeed, the war would be over in just a little more than two months. Nonetheless, it was during this timeframe that the Allies conducted one of the most notorious attacks of the war: the targeting of Dresden. As a Royal Air Force memo put it before the attack, "Dresden, the seventh largest city in Germany and not much smaller than Manchester, is also the largest unbombed built up area the enemy has got. In the midst of winter, with refugees pouring westward and troops to be rested, roofs are at a premium, not only to give shelter to workers, refugees, and troops alike but to house the administrative services displaced from other areas. At one time well known for its china, Dresden has developed into an industrial city of first-class importance".... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Neufeld.

    The Devil's Bones, Hörbuch, Digital, 338min
    Drawing on research at the Body Farm - three acres of land in the backwoods of Tennessee, where bodies are left to the elements to illuminate human decomposition - Bass has moved fiction to a fascinating new realm, with forensics expertise drawn from his five decades of work as the world's leading forensic anthropologist. Yet this latest novel cements Jefferson Bass as one of the finest writers of suspense working today, and in a work of drama, cunning, and heartbreak, thrills the reader with fiction that feels all too real. A woman's charred body has been found inside a burned car perched atop a hill in Knoxville. Is it accidental death, or murder followed by arson? Forensic anthropologist Bill Brockton's quest for answers prompts an experiment straight from Dante's Inferno: In the dark of night, he puts bodies to the torch, researching how fire consumes flesh and bone. In the meantime, Brockton is sent a mysterious package: a set of cremated remains that looks entirely unreal. With the help of a local crematorium, he investigates and discovers a truth too horrifying to believe: A facility in another state has not been disposing of bodies properly, instead scattering them all around the grounds. Little does Brockton know that his research is about to collide with reality with the force of a lit match meeting spilled gasoline. En route to trial, his nemesis, medical examiner Garland Hamilton, has escaped from custody. What follows is a deadly game of cat and mouse, played for the ultimate stakes: Brockton's own life. With help from his loyal graduate assistant, Miranda, and ace criminalist Art Bohanan, Brockton eventually tracks Hamilton, but when the police arrive, they find only a smoldering ruin. Sifting through the ashes, Brockton finds the incinerated remains of Hamilton...or does he? The answer, along with Brockton's ultimate test, comes in a searing moment of truth. Language: English.

    The Serpentine Fire: Flesh Wars, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 658min
    THERE IS A LEGEND OF THE SERPENT GOD... All that remains of its victims is charred human ash - as if she'd been torched from within. What looks like a freak accident to others, Detective Eric Bannon and medical examiner Angelica Hunter have seen before, and they have chased the monster that has spawned in India from where mankind had first encountered its deadly force. They are now truly the only two human beings who have had experience with the Kundalini snake god of ancient India. While they had once thwarted its deadly rampage, on one continent, they have learned of its having been reborn in the belly of a cult follower in the sequel, FLESH WARS... The creature too has learned of its enemy, mankind by the time of FLESH WARS as it was killed or so everyone thought, but the evil returns with a vendetta born of its wicked DNA in book two. Whereas before it only took the prey it needed to survive in its mad quest to conquer a world, it is by book two bent on spreading an epidemic to wipe out all mankind. The heroic efforts of a cop and a doctor may be mankind's only hope against this monster that has the ability to combust men like tender kindling to suck in the elemental gases of victims, leaving only a few knuckle and ankle bones. This is the prequel to FLESH WARS wherein the action returns to India where the belief in the creature has spawned a protective cult devoted to its life... HE'S SAID TO FEED OFF THE CREMATED SOULS OF THE DEAD... As the temperature rises, so does the chaos. Nationwide, preachers of doom are predicting Armageddon. But when Brannon and Hunter discover the scales of a serpent at the death scenes, the strange clue leads them to a conclusion far more frightening than the Rapture. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Big Blue: And Other Poems About the People and Animals of Alaska: The Last Frontier , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
    Anyone who has spent any time in the North Country, either as a visitor or a resident, has probably heard the name Robert Service. This audiobook is more or less an homage to this British Canadian poet and writer, often referred to as “The Bard of the Yukon”. His poignant and frequently humorous poems were mostly written during the great Yukon Gold Rush. But they are still performed to this day at tourist attractions all over Alaska and Northwest Canada. His most famous works (and the ones you will hear recited almost exclusively) are “The Spell of the Yukon”, “The Shooting of Dan McGrew”, and, my favorite, “The Cremation of Sam McGee”.I discovered my talent for writing poetry when I got married and began writing poems to my wife for her birthday, Valentine's Day, and 40 anniversaries. Most of them were fairly short. But then recently, on a whim, I attempted what I call an “epic” story poem. When I started writing, I immediately thought of Robert Service’s style - especially the rhyming scheme he often employs in which he puts a double rhyme within the first and third lines of each stanza. This style is colorfully on display in the opening of “McGee”:"There are strange things done ‘neath the Midnight Sun by the men who moil for gold; The Arctic trails have their secret tails that will make your blood run cold."The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see; was the night on the ‘marg of Lake LeBarge when I cremated Sam McGee!"The result of the first foray into long-form poetry was “More Than I Could Bear” - a tale of an unlikely relationship formed between a man and an Alaskan brown bear. The next thing I knew, I had written enough poems for a book!I hope you enjoy my poems - at least enough that I will be encouraged to do more! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Burrows.
