Donnybrook: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 386min
The raw and as-insane-as-anticipated first novel from Frank Bill, author of Crimes in Southern Indiana. The Donnybrook is a three-day bare-knuckle tournament held on a thousand-acre plot out in the sticks of southern Indiana. Twenty fighters. One wire-fence ring. Fight until only one man is left standing while a rowdy festival of onlookers - drunk and high on whatever’s on offer - bet on the fighters. Jarhead is a desperate man who’d do just about anything to feed his children. He’s also the toughest fighter in southeastern Kentucky, and he’s convinced that his ticket to a better life is one last fight with a cash prize so big it’ll solve all his problems. Meanwhile, there’s Chainsaw Angus - an undefeated master fighter who isn’t too keen on getting his face punched anymore, so he and his sister, Liz, have started cooking meth. And they get in deep. So deep that Liz wants it all for herself, and she might just be ready to kill her brother for it. One more showdown to take place at the Donnybrook. As we travel through the backwoods to get to the Donnybrook, we meet a cast of nasty, ruined characters driven to all sorts of evil, all in the name of getting their fix - drugs, violence, sex, money, honor. Donnybrook is exactly the fearless, explosive, amphetamine-fueled journey you’d expect from Frank Bill’s first novel...and then some. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Stechschulte.

Restless in the Grave , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 633min
New York Times best seller Dana Stabenow returns with her most outstanding novel yet, teaming up two of her most beloved characters, Aleut private investigator Kate Shugak and Alaska state trooper Liam Campbell, in the same story for the first time. Alaska aviation entrepreneur Finn Grant died in the fiery crash of his Piper Super Cub. Someone sabotaged his engine, and virtually everyone in southwestern Alaska has a motive, including his betrayed wife, his bullied children, and Liam’s wife, bush pilot Wyanet Chouinard. With few places to turn, Liam asks his former mentor Niniltna post commander Sergeant Jim Chopin, for help, and Jim quickly brings Kate onto the case. Working undercover as - of all things - a waitress at Bill’s Bar and Grill, Kate learns over beer and burgers that Grant’s business had expanded meteorically over the last two years. After buying the closed Air Force base south of town from the federal government at a bargain-basement price, he became a fixed-base operator running his fishing, hunting, and flight-seeing business, servicing planes flying through the area, and most interestingly and lucratively, getting into the air freight business. But what kind of freight was he moving, and where? The answers involve Kate in her most challenging case to date, one that starts with murder and quickly sprawls into a much larger conspiracy ranging from the darkest family secrets to treason and beyond. Restless in the Grave is a treat for fans and another outstanding addition to Dana Stabenow’s acclaimed and award-winning series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marguerite Gavin.

The Fembot of Norway: RILF; Robots I'd Like to Find, Book 33 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 192min
Coke cans, pizza boxes, and darkness surround Bill Blakley. At 46, Bill’s will became dead to the complexities of 21st century living. The world was again at war, the stock market recently crashed, and he wants to expatriate to Norway. Within the dark confides of his two room apartment, peace, love, and sex all coexist without the price of mendacity. The white walls are chipped with rust, mildew and insects. The black mold carpet reek of chewing tobacco, red wine, and urine. For Bill had fired his maid two years ago because of "creative differences".Life, achieving even an emotion, or tasting food, friendships, family were all just a shallow pool to him. But he did have his faith in himself, in the Mother Mary. His mom and dad dead. His family rejects his call for unity years ago. Classmates became creeps, and the press hounded his trail. Bill won the Pulitzer Prize for what he calls "Bullshit" two years ago. 2020, after 14 years in the service, Billy decided to watch porno all day and write all night. Traffic shotbys on the freeway are the norm. Most people even in the burbs turn off all lights at night, and had armed guards outside the front and back porches.“What in the hell is wrong with CNN (Constant Nazi News Bill's nickname for this news station)! All this spin meister bit with the news!" And people wonder why people are the way they are!” Bill said with a sigh of disbelief. A small 60 watt bulb was the only companion he knew, besides the Internet. For he had become dependent on this wonder to provide the utilities, the avenue to travel, and the supply to his daily necessities.“For those of you who enjoy futuristic science fiction, exploring the human race merging with Robots, this book is for you. ungekürzt.

Eleven Days: From 35 Million to Food Stamps: What a Family Gains When Losing the American Dream , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 981min
“Raw. Honest. Truly captivating. Seemingly ordinary people, share an extraordinary journey in Cochrane’s seek and rescue mission where she finds a clearer understanding of self, others and circumstance. She shares this story with transparency while wrapped in humor and insightful intensity with her honest discoveries of who she is, and in some ways who we all are.” (Karen Callan, Author of Just In Time) In her 30s, Judy Cochrane had by most standards realized the American Dream. In 2000, her husband Bill’s start-up company sold for 90 million. Their college romance and tireless work ethic built a bright future for their family, as well as a portfolio of 35 million. But just as the stars aligned for the 90 million sale of their company, they also fell apart. They went from living in a gated home perched on a mountaintop in Tucson, Arizona, to life in a beat-up rental, without job security and on food stamps. With pressure at every turn: three young kids, a failing economy, health concerns, a troubled marriage, and the loss of everything the family had built, time alone and getting grounded seemed impossible. With what little faith she could muster, she sought for a miracle. It came in the form of an 11-day house-sitting opportunity in Santa Barbara, California. During Cochrane’s quest, her spiritual guides and new friends included a surfer-musician, a dying writing professor, an Episcopal minister, a gifted intuitive healer, a pair of tattoo artists, a septuagenarian yoga practitioner, a homeless preacher, a foul-mouthed auto mechanic, two dogs and a cat, and the Pacific Ocean. Since starting Eleven Days, she’s passionately and gratefully inspired to create more work. These are coming soon. Included are excerpts of J.C. Cochrane’s next books: Carry On: The secret language, lessons, and heart-wrenching love a family experiences when a child endures addiction (copyright 2015) You Crack Me Up: From broken ungekürzt.
