    In order to save her mother, a teen is forced to become an indentured assassin in this sizzling dystopian thriller. No one reads the fine print. The good news is that the USA is finally out of debt. The bad news is that we were bought out by Valor National Bank, and debtors are the new big game, thanks to a tricky little clause hidden deep in the fine print of a credit card application. Now, after a swift and silent takeover that leaves 9-1-1 calls going through to Valor voicemail, they're unleashing a wave of anarchy across the country. Patsy didn't have much of a choice. When the suits showed up at her house threatening to kill her mother then and there for outstanding debt unless Patsy agreed to be an indentured assassin, what was she supposed to do? Let her own mother die? Patsy is forced to take on a five-day mission to complete a hit list of 10 names. Each name on Patsy's list has only three choices: pay the debt on the spot, agree to work as a bounty hunter, or die. And Patsy has to kill them personally, or else her mom takes a bullet of her own.

    The Equilibrist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 187min
    In Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II's magical, modern-day literary tale, an ailing professor journeys into his past to reveal a world ensconced in stories and poetry, with the hope of imparting inspirational, lifelong lessons. From his crumpled aesthetic of a tweed jacket or cardigan to his thick British accent, Professor Erasmus Cromwell-Smith is the embodiment of the prestigious New England scholastic institute where he teaches. But at 64, with a sudden diagnosis of incurable brain cancer, he decides to focus his intentions on living each day to the fullest and to share a lifetime of wisdom that he's treasured throughout the years. In daily classes with an ever-increasing audience, the professor mesmerizes students with tales of a childhood surrounded by rare books and enhanced by his friendships with three colorful, eclectic antiquarian mentors.Through an unfolding of conversation, free-verse poetry, and letters, the mentors' tutelage is revealed. For example, the title poem serves as a message about balance and freedom, while "The Magic in Life" poses questions about where enchantment exists, " ... a piece of art?/ ...a magnificent meal?/ ...within the silence and peace of contemplation and meditation?" Over 30 thought-provoking poems and reflections are woven throughout, addressing such concepts as letting go of the past, finding inspiration, dealing with loss, and ultimately living a happy, blissful life. The writing style is thoroughly fluid and engaging, with a nice narrative changeup, as chapters often switch from the third person as the eccentric professor ponders his way to class, to the first- person storytelling of his lectures that easily draws in students. This is also a story about love. With only a few hints regarding a curious young blonde-haired woman attending his class, the professor's legacy is ultimately brought to a surprising, honored conclusion. The story's premise recalls Randy Pausch's popular memoir, The L ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Dorse.

    Awaken the Financial Genius in You: Rebuilt: Awaken Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min
    ForewordTonny is a remarkable young man. Not that he is always going to be young. When I met him, he gave me his book to read. As I did something else with him in a three-way meeting, I could not help but wonder. A 19-year-old writing a book that could resonate with many of us in our 40s.And I have read many books. This one, among many others that are to come, will inspire you. You might be a young teenager looking to foment a mindset of excellence; you will need it. Or a middle-aged someone willing to discover your business acumen in retirement.Awaken the Financial Genius in You: Rebuilt is far much more than a treatise on financial management. It is far from personal finance or prudent economic management. It is a book about success in life. The management saying that you cannot improve what you cannot measure seems to be the pinnacle point that drives the book to the expose on finances. Yet, it could be the guide to your success in marriage. See, it really is not for the young alone.Truths that Tonny uses to illustrate his points set him aside as a clear-minded intellectual mentor. He is going to help many who are willing to listen to him. Astounded at his age, don’t ever get blinded and fail to see the light that he is pointing out.Life is run on several, timeless principles. Grasp them and you are on your way to your success. How Tonny got them so early in life still mesmerizes me.This book will sell beyond the borders as its message is universal. If you find it close enough to you and affordable, be grateful since durable truths have been translated for you to fit in your closer context.By learning to communicate such a message at an early age, the author - whom I have known to be an extremely humble, patient, and incredibly intelligent young man - has added to the skills needed to revolutionize an entire generation. As to whether you benefit from it will certainly depend on how seriously you take this ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Witthohn.
