Dizzy Worms: An African Tale, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 439min
Charity Mupanga, the resilient and maternal proprietor of Harrods International Bar (and Nightspot) faces her toughest challenge in Dizzy Worms, the final novel in Michael Holman’s acclaimed trilogy set in the African slum of Kireba. Faced with a Health and Safety closure, Charity has a week to appeal and the chances of success seem negligible: Elections are imminent, and Kireba is due to become a showcase of President Josiah Nduka's "slum rehabilitation program", backed by gullible foreign donors. But before taking on Nduka and the council, she has a promise to keep - to provide a supply of her famous sweet doughballs to a small army of street children, as voracious as they are malodorous.... ungekürzt.

Father Declan's Uncanny Creatures (A Father Declan Supernatural Mystery, #1) (eBook, ePUB)
Uncanny Creatures in Father Declan's Supernatural Mysteries Franciscan Father Declan O'Shea, with his spiritual gift of Insight, has encountered a variety of supernatural beings. His ministry of reconciliation and setting captives free most often involves releasing earthbound spirits. But sometimes, the Irish friar finds himself assisting souls of an entirely different sort. In this collection of six long-form short stories previously published individually, Father Declan helps a curmudgeonly leprechaun rescue a kidnapped kinsman, repels an invasion of malodorous peat faeries, finds himself and his pagan companion Morgan Delaney swarmed by zombie ghost rats, gets a little "gruff" with a Norwegian bridge troll, engages in silly spiritual warfare with mischievous Christmas imps, and helps tame a distraught werewolf. The Father Declan stories are always upbeat and redemptive. Some are humorous, and others mildly horrific.- Shop: buecher

The Lost Founding Father: John Quincy Adams and the Transformation of American Politics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 998min
Why has John Quincy Adams been largely written out of American history when he is, in fact, our lost Founding Father? Overshadowed by both his brilliant father and the brash and bold Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams has long been dismissed as hyper-intellectual. Viciously assailed by Jackson and his populist mobs for being both slippery and effete, Adams nevertheless recovered from the malodorous 1828 presidential election to lead the nation as a lonely Massachusetts congressman in the fight against slavery. Now, award-winning historian William J. Cooper insightfully demonstrates that Adams should be considered our lost Founding Father, his moral and political vision the final link to the great visionaries who created our nation. With his heroic arguments in the Amistad trial forever memorialized, a fearless Adams stood strong against the Jacksonian tide, the Gag Rule, and the expansion of slavery that would send the nation hurtling into war. This game-changing biography reveals Adams to be one of the most battered but courageous and inspirational politicians in American history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Poe.

Goon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min
Relentless as a Texas death-match, Goon is a no-holds-barred festival of body slams; an insatiable orgy of pile-drivers and sexual grotesqueries, of neck-breakers, drop-kicks, and more blood and guts than a fish-market floor. Six-foot-9 and 400 pounds, hailing from parts unknown, he is the one-man walking gore machine of the Deep South Wrestling Conference, and his name is Goon. But Detective Phillip Straker isn't a wrestling fan. The bodies pile up like dirty laundry: sex-obsessed tramps used as playthings by some unspeakable creature. Straker is determined to solve the rash of mutilation murders with trimmings that beg description. Is it just coincidence, or do all the victims have something in common? Investigative reporter Melinda Pierce will do anything to find out, by offering herself up as a sexual spittoon in order to infiltrate the arcane and lust-drenched warrens of the backstage of professional wrestling. There in malodorous locker rooms and unsavory motels, she partakes in carnal forays so gross, so downright nasty they'd make a porn star puke. Goon, this human juggernaut, this masked rack of guts, muscle and mayhem. Is Goon just a wrestler gone insane? Or is he something hideously worse? It just might leave you down for the count. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Hempel. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/069844/bk_acx0_069844_sample.mp3.

A city...in Hell. That’s what Hell is now, an endless metropolis spiring with black skyscrapers, raging in eternal horror. The moon is black and the sky is the color of blood. Screams rip down streets and through alleys, carried by malodorous winds. The people of this place trudge the sidewalks back and forth, to home, to work, to stores, etc., just as they do in any city. There’s only one difference. In this city, the people are all dead. Now, two normal living humans, humans just like you, have discovered the most time-held occult secret. They have the ability to enter this city of the damned, but with powers greater than even a fallen angel. They’re angels themselves now - infernal angels. One means to foil the most monstrous plot ever devised, the other means to set it into action and bring all the evil of Hell to the Living Earth. Join them on their journey. Join them in the guts of the City Infernal.... Welcome back...to Hell. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael T. Bradley.

Waking Up in Paris: Overcoming Darkness in the City of Light , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 512min
“As if waking up from a nightmare, I thought, If I am going to be traumatized, I might as well be traumatized in Paris, right?” Devastated by the unexpected end of her decades-long marriage, renowned spiritual teacher and intuitive guide Sonia Choquette undertook an equally unexpected move and relocated to Paris, the scene of many happy memories from her life as a student and young mother. Arriving in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo massacre, she found a Paris as traumatized by this unforeseen event as she had been by her divorce. Together, over the following years, she and the city she loves began a journey of healing that involved deep soul searching and acceptance of new, sometimes uncomfortable reality. In this follow-up to Walking Home, Sonia shares her intimate thoughts and fears as well as the unique challenges of setting up a new life in a foreign land. From moving into a freezing, malodorous apartment to a more pleasant - yet haunted - flat across the Seine to her current light-filled home, Sonia shares how these changes parallel her inner transformation. Along the way, Sonia regales listeners with vivid stories of her unfortunate encounters with French hairdressers and beauticians, her adventures in French fashion, and her search for the perfect neighborhood café. Her companion throughout is the city of Paris - a character unto itself - which never ceases to fill her with wonder, surprise, and delight and provides her with the spiritual strength to succeed in establishing her new life. ungekürzt.
