    Blue Murder: Lord & Lady Hetheridge, Volume 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 434min
    The New York Times best-selling series. In London's fashionable Chelsea, a Halloween bash goes terribly wrong. Emmeline Wardle, daughter of a frozen-foods baron, throws a party that results in the demise of two university schoolmates. Handsome golden boy Trevor Parsons is dead. So is pasty computer nerd Clive French. Both died on the Wardle estate within minutes of one another, and both died the same way - an axe to the skull. Given the social connections of all involved, New Scotland Yard sends a real baron to investigate: Chief Superintendent Anthony Hetheridge, also known as Lord Hetheridge, ninth baron of Wellegrave. This time around, Detective Sergeant Kate Wakefield and her partner, Detective Sergeant Deepal "Paul" Bhar, have their work cut out. Bhar must contend with Emmeline Wardle, a spoiled blonde with a penchant for the finer things, including a certain illegal white powder. Kate must decide if Kyla Sloane, model-pretty and delicate, is being truthful about the events of that fateful night and if Kyla's connection to a former lover of Bhar's means nothing - or everything. Return to the world of Ice Blue in Blue Murder, the second of the Lord & Lady Hetheridge series. In addition to solving the double murder in Chelsea, Anthony Hetheridge plans on proposing marriage to Kate for the second time. He has the ring. Now all he needs is the proper moment.... ungekürzt.

    A Gambler's Anatomy: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 633min
    The author of Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude returns with a devilishly entertaining novel about an international backgammon hustler who thinks he's psychic. Too bad about the tumor in his face. Handsome, impeccably tuxedoed Bruno Alexander travels the world winning large sums of money from amateur "whales" who think they can challenge his peerless acumen at backgammon. Fronted by his pasty, vampiric manager, Edgar Falk, Bruno arrives in Berlin after a troubling run of bad luck in Singapore. Perhaps it was the chance encounter with his crass childhood acquaintance Keith Stolarsky and his smoldering girlfriend, Tira Harpaz. Or perhaps it was the emergence of a blot that distorts his vision so he has to look at the board sideways. Things don't go much better in Berlin. Bruno's flirtation with Madchen, the striking blonde he meets on the ferry, is inconclusive; the game at the unsettling Herr Kohler's mansion goes awry as his blot grows worse; and he passes out and is sent to the local hospital, where he is given an extremely depressing diagnosis. Having run through Falk's money, Bruno turns to Stolarsky, who, for reasons of his own, agrees to fly Bruno to Berkeley and to pay for the experimental surgery that might save his life. Berkeley, where Bruno discovered his psychic abilities, and to which he vowed never to return. Amid the patchouli flashbacks and anarchist gambits of the local scene, between Tira's come-ons and Keith's machinations, Bruno confronts two existential questions: Is the gambler being played by life? And what if you're telepathic, but it doesn't do you any good? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Deakins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/004747/bk_rand_004747_sample.mp3.

    The Evolved Eater: A Quest to Eat Better, Live Better, and Change the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
    From the cofounder of Plated, the home delivery food service, an inspirational business title that is a call to arms and investigation into the industrial American food complex. In early 2012 Nick Taranto was 27 years old, recently married, and fresh out of the Marine Corps. He moved back to New York City, started working on Wall Street, and put on 20 pounds in under six months. He was pasty, overweight, and depressed - and he knew there had to be a better way to eat (and live). The Evolved Eater chronicles his quest to change how we eat and what this means for the future of food. As the cofounder of Plated, which has delivered tens of millions of meals across the country in its first five years, Taranto cares about the food we eat. As evolved eaters, we strive to continually improve and evolve as we grow through life. And eating - and being close to the food you cook and consume - is an inseparable part of this evolution. Americans throw away over 300 billion pounds of food each year while millions of children are food insecure or poorly nourished. How did the most food abundant nation in history get this vital issue so wrong? Taranto provides eye-opening facts about how we acquire and eat food and easy and practical things that you can do to improve the way you eat (and live) starting today. Eating doesn't need to be complicated or painful or overthought. We're starting the Evolved Eater revolution right here, right now. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Taranto.

    Sleepers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 390min
    The day the demons came, we all fell asleep. Two-thirds of the Earth's population didn't wake up. Others, like myself, were different. Transformed by some alien power. They sat at the edge of our solar system drifting toward our home. With our new powers, we were all that stood between those we had to protect and the end of the world. The fire from my match flickered in the middle of the night as you woke up next to me screaming. It felt almost as if time itself had slowed to a halt. Already, we had been married for a week, and it seemed nothing could stop us. Your eyes had turned a pasty white that night as your small, petite, and fragile limbs cracked as you stood waist up in our bed. Your jaw stood crooked as you slowly tilted your head studying the room around you. The room was yours, just as it had always been. Zombie and fantasy posters hung on the wall lit by a black light you kept running 24/7. Your brother and I tried our best to keep it the same for you before you fell away from us into the dreaming. Two-thirds of the Earth's population went to sleep that night, but not before delivering a message. Some told it in tongues, while others spoke in dead languages no one could understand. You were one of the few who said it clear as day. I will never forget it; your voice cracked and groaned as your eyes met mine, and I tried my best to wake you hoping you were only experiencing a night terror or that this whole thing had been a part of some bad dream. I failed, and all I could do was listen as you repeated again and again, "We are coming." Five years have passed since the day of your possession, and now you lay still in a coma aboard the Earth's first starship. You rest quietly in stasis as your brother, not much older than I, along with 1,000 more survivors begin our deceleration toward what we have christened the Lamia, a daemon warship. Five years we have prepared for this day. This, our final stand against the daemons since they ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Garnett.

    Digital Dark Age
    Destroy All Anti-Heroes By David Ensminger Although the Anarchitex have roamed the post-punk musical landscape of Houston for nearly three decades, the band's cantankerous barrage of noise remains far under the radar. Hopefully their newest and most chiseled release, Digital Dark Age, will finally crown them alongside other local veterans like The Hates and Mydolls as both survivors and sonic entrepreneurs, albeit with a more caustic underbelly than both. Part of their raw genius sprouts from Anarchitex's messy and motley history. At various times, band members have been involved in projects far and wide, including Naked Amerika, Really Red, the Pain Teens and Happy Fingers Institute. These bands made their marks at venues like the Island and Axiom in the 1980s, Commerce St. Warehouse and Catal Huyuk in the 1990s, and Rudyard's and The Mink these past few years. 'The creativity of the early Houston scene had a profound influence,' emphasizes singer John Reen Davis. 'Hanging around Ronnie Bond's [of Really Red] store Real Records taught me a lot. We started out as a keyboard-driven experimental band. Now, we're a power trio with [a] vocalist. 'Yes, we've changed, but the changes have been the result of artistic restlessness rather than any attempt to 'keep up' with the music world,' vows Davis. 'We've never tried to sound like other bands. We've never even tried to sound like the Anarchitex. We find it best to operate without a plan.' While their brethren have receded into the dustbin of history, the Anarchitex have proven that resilience and fortitude, maintained in the name of rebel art without pause, can keep a band prolific, poetic and pithy. 'We remain steadfast by writing songs with eternal themes, like U.S. imperial hegemony,' intones guitarist and singer Torry Mercer. 'Songs about how shitty the government [is] seem to remain timeless.' Digital Dark Age aims for the jugular of the modern information society, with it's entropy, pratfalls and false freedoms. Attacking at slanted angles with scissory irony, Anarchitex's wit is endless, emboldened by Davis's kitchen-sink realism and Dada style, which mingle in ravaging wordplay. 'Button on a Lapel' is a kind of anti-nostalgia ('I'm too old to skateboard / I'm too old to care') leveled off by urban haiku, seen from the point of view of a bus rider surrounded by blue-haired women and old men with Vaseline eyes. Meanwhile, the buzzing dark thunder of 'Blank Wall' feels like a meld of Midwest noise bands like Tar, the post-hardcore of Monorchid and Circus Lupus, and the rosters of 1980s labels like Rough Trade. The song lacerates religion, martyrdom, war and a future made possible by '99 percent of the people who do little more than take up space.' It is both a warning and a creed. 'CaCa Convention' is a succinct diatribe against political machinations and capitalism - an easy target, perhaps - while Midnight Oil rhythmic rumbles and lyrical sentiments pervade 'Brother Can You Spare a Dime?' The images of trampled working-class heroes and ruined Yankee Doodle innocence invoke the sizzling and sweeping books of Howard Zinn and John Dos Passos. 'Big Grey Boat' aims more internationally, cataloging the invasions of Grenada, Nicaragua and Lebanon. In such accounts, laissez-faire capitalism and war machinery go unchecked. History becomes an atrocity exhibition. Yet, the band packs some humor, even when dealing with heavy-duty topics. 'Growing up in a segregated Southern city where the police chief was head of the state KKK, rendered Nazi scientists started NASA and the space/arms race/Cold War, and oil-company tycoons plotted world domination using the CIA to destroy nascent Third World democracies, actually had no bearing on our sonic disturbances whatsoever,' admits Mercer with a sly smile. 'Falling asleep to the constant whir of window-unit air conditioners, however, was profoundly influential to our sound.' 'I Had a Science Fiction Childhood' is as demented as an early Ramones song: Mutants, electrodes and double-matinee monster movies crowd the narrative. It unveils the paranoid side of bubblegum punk, though the pop-culture detritus is broken, fragmented and chopped up by the stuttered tour de force. Lastly, tunes like 'We Are More Intelligent,' not unlike the mid-paced growl of iconic Big Boys at their early peak (but sans off-kilter funk), offer plenty of attitude and bile, howls and aggression, too. It spits in the face of public good-spiritedness, but with mock vitriol. Such slogans bite hard. The Anarchitex do not indulge in a rock and roll minstrel show, offer a redux sound of 1982, or forge a simple radical-politics looking glass. But they do revisit classic punk subjects with a vengeance. I might be crazy, listeners can hear them say between the lines of songs, but I am an unapologetic product of the world that hegemony makes and maintains. I am a babe in the blackened iHeart of the New World. And why is the Digital Age so dark in their point of view? 'The term 'Digital Dark Age' alludes to the impermanence of everything in a digital format,' says Mercer, 'If there is a future, folks there may never know anything about the times we live in now because some nitwit in the basement forgot to back up the files last night.' Former enfant terrible Johnny Lydon might be no more than a suntanned facsimile of his former self, but these pasty men have not suffered the same mind-numbing fate. Though casual listeners may mistake the album for a series of bitter and demented harangues, or as a breeding ground for helter-skelter explosivity, a taut tunefulness exists in the defoliated landscape of the Anarchitex's songs, where paroxysm and prose go hand in hand. Anger is still their inexhaustible energy. They wield it like a baton against the blunders of the world, with precision. 'It's our revenge on everybody who ever made fun of us,' Davis reveals. 'Like the prom scene in Carrie.' Houston Press Wednesday, Apr 20 2011.
