  Here Comes the Night: The Dark Soul of Bert Berns and the Dirty Business of Rhythm and Blues , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 719min

  I don't know where he's buried, but if I did I'd piss on his grave. —Jerry Wexler, best friend and mentor Here Comes the Night: Bert Berns and the Dirty Business of Rhythm and Blues is both a definitive account of the New York rhythm and blues world of the early '60s and the harrowing, ultimately tragic story of songwriter and record producer Bert Berns, whose meteoric career was fueled by his pending doom. His heart damaged by rheumatic fever as a youth, doctors told Berns he would not live to see 21. Although his name is little remembered today, Berns worked alongside all the greats of the era: Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler, Burt Bacharach, Phil Spector, Gerry Goffin and Carole King, and anyone who was anyone in New York rhythm and blues. In seven quick years, he went from nobody to the top of the pops producer of monumental r&b classics, songwriter of "Twist and Shout", "My Girl Sloopy", and others. His fury to succeed led Berns to use his Mafia associations to muscle Atlantic Records out of a partnership and intimidate new talents (like Neil Diamond and Van Morrison) he signed to his record label, only to drop dead of a long-expected heart attack, just when he was seeing his grandest plans and life's ambitions frustrated and foiled. ungekürzt.

  Embers of Empire: Ava's Crucible, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 390min

  America has fallen, and Ava's band of misfits is all that stands between freedom and absolute tyranny.  Political division in the US has reached the boiling point, and the second American Civil War is underfoot. Communist agitators have been successful in their efforts to intimidate voters from key states. The worst has happened. A far-left socialist candidate has stolen the reins of power, and his designs against the republic are absolute. With a sympathetic Congress, he will sign in sweeping bans on firearms, criminalize free speech, and institute a new government agency to root out dissenters.  Ava's group pledges to launch an insurgency campaign against the occupying force in Texas, but will have to watch out for those who have been tasked with purging the patriots.  A handful of freedom-loving governors and congressmen take a stand against the tyrannical administration by seceding from the Union. They represent an America that wishes to live in peace and live free. But that idea flies in the face of everything the dictatorial regime holds dear.  Ava's team cannot fail in its mission to liberate Texas. If Texas falls, America's demise is all but certain.  As with all audiobooks by Mark Goodwin, this audiobook contains no profanity and no embarrassing sex scenes. However, if you're offended by conservative principles and references to Scripture, this audiobook might not be for you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stacey Glemboski.

  The Starlight Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min

  Caution: The names have not been changed to protect the guiltyThe Starlight Club was jumping. "They looked like mob guys. They had that arrogance exuded by those who liked to intimidate - those who were the proud purveyors of fear." Amidst the nightly gaiety was the back room, where business deals were made, hits were ordered, and territories were divided. Trenchie, not being a 'rat' is just released from his ten-year prison sentence. A new life is waiting - complete with envelopes of money and a steak house to call his own. He finds the woman of his dreams who brings along ex-husband baggage. Hitman Jimmy 'The Hat' finds unexpected fame and fortune in Hollywood, yet always stays true to the 'boys,' especially Trenchie. His loyalty costs him his life. 'Crazy Joey Gallo' and his brothers break away from the Profaci family and go rogue on their own now. They split their gang into several small groups and spread them out over the five boroughs. "Harsh punishment awaits those who talk." The colt 45 caliber bullet did its deed, taking with it a sizable portion of Rag's brain, forming a pink mist, mixed with bone and grey matter that puffed in front of Rag's head like a small mushroom, deflating when it met the chilly evening air. The current would carry his body at least a mile away. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Strong. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/008745/bk_acx0_008745_sample.mp3.

  Lessons from Fallen Civilizations: Can a Bankrupt America Survive the Current Islamic Threat? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 820min

  Islam's aggression against the West has been constant for the 14 centuries of its existence. The armies of Allah conquered most of the Christian Middle East and nearly conquered all of Christian Europe twice. Americans know that the fall of Rome has ominous lessons for America. They instinctively know that there are always barbarians at the gate. Using history as its guide, Lessons from Fallen Civilizations poses and answers the question: Can a bankrupt America survive the current Islamic threat? Today, millions of militant Muslims wake every morning plotting the destruction of the US. Many are among us. They are our neighbors and coworkers. Their mission is first to intimidate, then to destabilize our economy and ultimately to plant the black flag of Islam at the top of the White House. Lessons demonstrates how immutable laws have always governed the fall of five great civilizations. It shows how those immutable laws can be seen to repeat over time and how they are at work now. It is a saga that chronicles the decisions, deeds, and heroics of our ancestors who saved the West. It identifies the decisions we must make and the actions we must take in order to remain a free people. Kelley's "Immutables" demonstrate how a declining America will fall at the hands of Islamic extremists. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Sipple.

  A Thousand Cuts: The Bizarre Underground World of Collectors and Dealers Who Saved the Movies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min

  A Thousand Cuts is a candid exploration of one of America's strangest and most quickly vanishing subcultures. It is about the death of physical film in the digital era and about a paranoid, secretive, eccentric, and sometimes obsessive group of film-mad collectors who made movies and their projection a private religion in the time before DVDs and Blu-rays. The book includes the stories of film historian/critic Leonard Maltin, TCM host Robert Osborne discussing Rock Hudson's secret 1970s film vault, RoboCop producer Jon Davison dropping acid and screening King Kong with Jefferson Airplane at the Fillmore East, and Academy Award-winning film historian Kevin Brownlow recounting his decades-long quest to restore the 1927 Napoleon. Authors Dennis Bartok and Jeff Joseph examine the FBI's and Justice Department's campaign to harass, intimidate, and arrest film dealers and collectors in the early 1970s. Many of those persecuted were gay men. Victims included Planet of the Apes star Roddy McDowall, who was arrested in 1974 for film collecting and forced to name names of fellow collectors, including Rock Hudson and Mel Tormé. A Thousand Cuts explores the obsessions of the colorful individuals who created their own screening rooms, spent vast sums, negotiated underground networks, and even risked legal jeopardy to pursue their passion for real, physical film. The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary L Willprecht. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/088960/bk_acx0_088960_sample.mp3.

  Tibetan Mantra Magick: Tap Into the Power of Tibetan Mantras , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min

  When we think about Tibet, we are often taken back to the stories of the search for Shangri-La. We are beguiled by stories of men and women who spend their entire lives in meditation in hopes to achieve liberation from the ties that bind us here on this Earth. We are further in awe of those stories of the great mystics who, though Tibetan rituals, develop supernatural powers. All these stories have elements of truth in them. Rumors of this nature are often unconfirmed facts, as it were. Tibetan Buddhism is fascinating. It is by far the most mystical and most complex form of Buddhism throughout the spectrum of Buddhist sects. Most in popular culture associate it mostly with the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet. However, there is so much more to it, so much in fact that no single volume could ever capture the magic and the wonder of this great tradition. Like most Eastern traditions, Tibetan Buddhism has a rich tradition of mantra chanting and magick. Some of the rituals are so elaborate they can often intimidate the minds of those with entrenched Western sensibilities. A good way to pierce the mystery is to work with the mantras of this great tradition. In this book we will perform seven rituals using Tibetan mantras. ungekürzt. Language: English.
