    Paternus: Rise of Gods: The Paternus Trilogy, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 900min
    Described as American Gods meets the X-Men, True Blood meets The Talisman, and Supernatural meets The Lord of the Rings, Paternus combines myths from around the world in a modern story of action and intrigue that is "urban fantasy on the surface, but so much more at its core!" "Paternus is an imaginative...exhilarating ride ... A refreshing take on contemporary fantasy." (Anthony Ryan, New York Times best-selling author of Blood Song and The Legion of Flame)"Epic, innovative urban fantasy. A great read!" (Mark Lawrence, Gemmell Award winner and international best-selling author of Prince of Thorns and Red Sister)Even myths have legends. And not all legends are myth. When a local hospital is attacked by strange and frightening men, Fiona Patterson and Zeke Prisco save a catatonic old man named Peter - and find themselves running for their lives with creatures beyond imagination hounding their every step. With nowhere else to turn, they seek out Fi's enigmatic Uncle Edgar. But the more their questions are answered, the more they discover that nothing is what it seems - not Peter, not Edgar, perhaps not even themselves. The gods and monsters, heroes and villains of lore - they're real. And now they've come out of hiding to hunt their own. In order to survive, Fi and Zeke must join up with powerful allies against an ancient evil that's been known by many names and feared by all. The final battle of the world's oldest war has begun. "Terrific. Paternus is intelligent, intricate, suspenseful, and epic." (Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld and Bloody Rose)"Ashton is a bloody, terrific genius. The action sequences are truly mind-boggling. Miss out on this one at your own risk."

    Maelstrom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
    This audiobook Includes the novelette The Haunting of Victor Drahos at the end!Something in Lavender, California is waking up. Rituals not properly completed for centuries are coming together. Nothing is what it seems. When Nick Leatherman, his girlfriend Ruthie, and their buddies Flash and Weasel invade Shady Grove Cemetery for a "ghost hunt" on their way home from a concert, they are drawn into a web of darkness and intrigue that threatens to consume them. Nick and Ruthie witness a gruesome murder, and Nick's pocket knife shows up at the crime scene the next morning. Nick has had problems in the past, and Inspector Kendall Straker remembers. He remembers Ned Leatherman, Nick's alcoholic step-father as well, and he doesn't believe the boy is a killer. The problem is that the knife - emblazoned with the name of the band Maelstrom - is the only clue he has. Horace Goldbough is the local pastor. He's built a huge following and a beautiful church, but there are things about the good reverend that the town doesn't know. In particular there is his relationship with a dark woman named Beauchane, and a certain book he keeps hidden from the world. With local reporters, and a television talk-show host hounding his every step, Straker attempts to unravel the series of grisly killings terrorizing Lavender, while simultaneously protecting Nick. Nick, in the meantime, has begun his own investigation, feeling trapped and needing to clear his name. Ritual words are being spoken, and a power that has been denied access to the Earth for centuries is poised to strike. The clock is ticking. Can Straker, Nick, and Maelstrom find the answer to the killings and put an end to them before the final ritual takes place, or will a horror be unleashed on the unsuspecting town of Lavender beyond their comprehension? ungekürzt.

    An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 818min
    Award-winning New York Times reporter Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal reveals the dangerous, expensive, and dysfunctional American health-care system and tells us exactly what we can do to solve its myriad of problems. It is well documented that our health-care system has grave problems, but how, in only a matter of decades, did things get this bad? Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal doesn't just explain the symptoms; she diagnoses and treats the disease itself. Rosenthal spells out in clear and practical terms exactly how to decode medical doublespeak, avoid the pitfalls of the pharmaceuticals racket, and get the care you and your family deserve. She takes you inside the doctor-patient relationship, explaining step by step the workings of a profession sorely lacking transparency. This is about what we can do, as individual patients, both to navigate a byzantine system and also to demand far-reaching reform. Breaking down the monolithic business into its individual industries - the hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, drug manufacturers - that together constitute our health-care system, Rosenthal tells the story of the history of American medicine as never before. The situation is far worse than we think, and it has become like that much more recently than we realize. Hospitals, which are managed by business executives, behave like predatory lenders, hounding patients and seizing their homes. Research charities are in bed with big pharmaceutical companies, which surreptitiously profit from the donations made by working people. Americans are dying from routine medical conditions when affordable and straightforward solutions exist. Dr. Rosenthal explains for the first time how various social and financial incentives have encouraged a disastrous and immoral system to spring up organically in a shockingly short span of time. The system is in tatters, but we can fight back. An American Sickness is the frontline defense against a health-ca ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nancy Linari.

    It's Okay to Lie: If Your Fingers Are Crossed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 429min
    It's Okay to Lie if Your Fingers are Crossed, is based on a ritual kids perpetrated in the forties and fifties, which exempted them from the "liar" label, providing that they crossed their fingers behind them, unbeknownst to the person or persons to whom they were lying. The hero of the story is eleven year-old Billy Flynn, a schooled and consummate "liar" who lives in a suburb north of Fenway Park. With his ironic sense of humor, his unusual and amusing way of surviving and seeing through the pretensions of the adult world around him, Billy Flynn could very well remind one of an eleven-year-old Holden Caulfield, minus the rich parents and the sympathetic sister. But this boy is a working class kid (third generation Irish-American) who was unlikely to ever see the inside of a prep school. A reader who appreciates the game of baseball, would especially enjoy this book, because it is baseball as it used to be played by the kids themselves, on an open field without adults hounding their every move. The kids created their own rules, such as 15 fouls and you're out, no one base rule, and when a player hits a fly ball and an outfielder falls into the brook in deep center-field catching it, it is still an out. This book is not recommended to readers under thirteen, because the language gets raw from time to time and the story deals with sexual issues—not in a prurient sense, but rather in a developmental sense as an eleven-year-old might experience it. The pages are populated by real to life characters and situations, written in a down to earth storytelling style with a humorous and ironic bite to it, and occasionally a surreal feel to it. As one reader told the author, "Each page contains a precious jewel, waiting to be uncovered." It's Okay to Lie if Your Fingers are Crossed is recommended for adults, young adults, and especially baby boomer seniors who would find the period (1950) of special interest. ungekürzt.

    The Wolf, the Watcher, and the Oryx , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 490min
    Khoa and his grandfather, Tristian, are thought to be the last two descendants of an ancient pack of white wolves who followed "the way of the wolf". As the novel opens, Tristian lies dying, having been torn apart by the pack, for teaching Khoa "the way", which is now forbidden. The old wolf sends Khoa on a quest to find a watcher wolf, a book, and a society of white wolves; none of which may exist. As Khoa escapes through a mole tunnel that his grandfather had prepared for him, the pack waits outside the hut to "set upon him". In this revisionist pack, wolves kill wolves. Khoa is a reluctant hero, but through his adventures he takes on more belief in the traditions his grandfather had opened him up to. Khoa goes over a waterfall, runs into vipers, and has other troubles, but finally makes it to the river where Tristian told him he would find the Watcher Wolf. It is here that his new family finds him. His adopted zoo is made up of Washer, the raccoon, Pieces, the old chewed rabbit, and Serious, the young, officious rabbit, to name a few who add a lighter side to Khoa's quest. Khoa has a love interest in the story in the form of Ani, an artic white wolf. They grew up in the Revisionist Society together, but never knew they had feelings for each other. Ani sees Khoa escape, and hopes to have Staver, Dueces' son, rescue her instead of hounding Khoa's trail to give him a head start. She places her paw in the mouth of the red iron dog, a man trap, and puts a twig in it to prevent her from really getting hurt, but the steel trap snaps the twig and she is caught in it for real. Scout, her father, and the pack are on the trail of Khoa, but get her scent and follow it until they realize Khoa isn't with her. Through a twist in the tale, Scout talks his daughter into leaving the pack and setting out to look for Khoa, which she does with the help of Retread, who happens to be one of the alpha pack leader, Dueces' son. ungekürzt.

    This set includes five steamy, taboo stories.  Volume I She had him, but she didn't deserve him.  Jack was the man of the house, and his wife treated him poorly despite his constant sacrifice. It was only a matter of time before I had my opportunity to take him.   How could she not give him anything he wanted? How could she be so negligent of his needs? I wasn't. I knew what I wanted, and I knew what he needed.  And I was determined to give it to him.  Volume II  I planned on spending all summer by the pool, working on my tan. But the man of the house has been hounding me to get a job. When he comes home to find me half-naked by the pool, he seems offended at first.   Then I work my charm.  I invite him to take a dip with me, and he can't resist my rocking hot body. Will he give in to his primal side and give me everything I desire?   Volume III  Planning to relax in the hot tub with my friend Samantha, I find the man of the house using it. Naked.  I've fantasized about him since I was 16 and dream about him ravaging me all the time. I'm still a virgin, but I know what I want, and I want to be filled. When Samantha brings up one of my dreams to the man of the house, things get more than a little steamy.   For all of us.  Volume IV  My mind was at war with my body.  I wanted the man of the house with a passion I’d never felt before, but I wasn’t sure if he felt the same way. I thought I’d seen him looking at me a few times, but I could never actually catch him. They always say wait until your time comes.   Well, time’s up. I’m going to take what I want.  I decided to give him a glimpse of what awaited him. Would he take the bait? I hoped so. I wanted him to fulfill my every desire. Volume V My life had changed. I had heard the man of the house and the woman of the house going at ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sierra Kline.
