    Murder in Corvis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min
    Death stalks Corvis by night, and only an unlikely group of heroes known as the Black River Irregulars can put an end to the terror. The labyrinth of tunnels beneath Corvis is home to some of the city's worst criminals, but now even these hardened thugs have reason to watch their step in the dark, shadowy undercity. Death moves in that darkness, leaving behind a trail of horribly mangled bodies. The identity of the killer is a mystery, although his calling cards - brutally savaged corpses and a distinct, repulsive odor - are constants at each bloody murder scene. As business falters in the wake of the murders, the shady owner of an illegal gambling hall hires a ragtag group of mercenaries and adventurers to find the killer and end his reign of terror. Among these mercenaries are the trollkin bounty hunter Gardek Stonebrow, the enterprising mechanik and soldier Colbie Sterling, the investigator and arcanist Eilish Garrity, and the skulking alchemist and thief Milo Boggs. Together, these four must work to overcome their differences, track down a killer, and end the murder in Corvis before one of their own becomes the next victim. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    What Would Terry Do? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 114min
    Shortly after the turn of the century, my wife, Terry, and I moved to the mountains of Colorado. Shortly after that, I wrote this humorous story about our lives and how my hero wife lived in spite of the debilitating illness of MCS - multiple chemical sensitivity. This audiobook was mainly created to help us laugh in spite of our difficulties.  In the meantime, you'll get a closer look at how toxic chemicals affect the canaries (first to react) like Terry, and you'll gain some insights on how to avoid them. Not only is Terry allergic to all man-made chemicals, she's also allergic to several foods. Luckily, she's not allergic to plants or animals.  Yeah, so you've got allergies - take a shot for them! Well, unless you're allergic to the shot, or they don't make one for these allergies.  So Terry lives with the severe face pain, the mind fog, the lack of energy. And she swears every time she's out for a walk and somebody is doing their laundry with some fragrant detergent - her biggest bane.  Sometimes she falters and doesn't bear it well, but to me, she's always a hero. This is her story. Enjoy! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Betty Johnston. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/117336/bk_acx0_117336_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
