    A detective with no one to trust A killer with nothing to lose Detective Emily Baxter is still reeling from the Ragdoll case, and from the disappearance of her friend William “Wolf” Fawkes. Despite her reluctance to jump into another gruesome case, she’s summoned to a meeting of a new FBI/CIA/UK law enforcement task force in New York. There, she is presented with photographs of the latest copycat murder: a body contorted into a familiar pose, strung up from the Brooklyn Bridge, the word BAIT carved deep into its chest. As the media pressure intensifies, Baxter is ordered to assist with the investigation and attend the scene of another murder, again with a victim inscribed with a word - PUPPET. The murders continue to grow in spectacle and depravity on both sides of the Atlantic, and the team helplessly plays catch-up. Baxter must shake off the grief and fear that have paralyzed her for the last year so she can stop another terrible killer before it’s too late. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alex Wyndham.

    Fly Over Down Under: Australian Adventures by Single-Engine Airplane , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 322min
    A crash landing at a remote island airstrip...a scary encounter with an octopus...green ants that defend their tree by attacking anyone who touches it...a mysterious lava-tube cave with hikers' flashlights floating like fireflies down into its blackness...fruit bats noisily lobbing mangos onto your cabin's tin roof...the beauties - and dangers - of the crocodile-infested Kakadu National Park...a rugby match in Northern Territory (and why Aussie girls never root for their teams)... In this colorful and remarkable book, written by a colorful and remarkable woman pilot, you'll find the most enjoyable way to discover Australia - by flying a light airplane to its places of greatest interest while watching the exotic landscape unroll beneath you: vistas of giant paisley patterned earth, caused by underlying salt strata; stunning views of red landscapes, uplifted and contorted during the earth's primordial boil; the enormously long white beaches of Western Australia, lonesome and edged by brilliant aquas; and the Indian Ocean to the south, marked by hundreds of miles of cliffs (whales breed there.... You could get lucky). You don't have to be a pilot to enjoy this book. The author also wrote it for nonflyers, in nontechnical terms, to let you see amazing things that pilots experience from their very special perspective. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Danse Macabre: A Daniel Jacobus Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 513min
    A ground-breaking treat for mystery and music lovers, the audiobook of Elias' first novel, Devil's Trill, introduced a new kind of listening experience, with violin performances by the author providing clues throughout.Now acclaimed author and violinist Gerald Elias is back, bringing more music to his gripping second novel in the Daniel Jacobus mystery series, Danse Macabre, also narrated by Jim Frangione.Just after his Carnegie Hall swan song and before his imminent departure for retirement in France, beloved violinist and humanitarian Rene Allard is brutally murdered with a mysterious weapon. His young African-American rival, crossover artist BTower, is spotted at the scene of the crime, hovering over the contorted body of Allard with blood on his hands. In short order, the aloof and arrogant BTower is convicted and sentenced to death - in part the result of the testimony of blind and curmudgeonly violin pedagogue Daniel Jacobus, who, like millions of others, was an ardent admirer of Allard. Justice has been done... or has it?Jacobus is dragged back into the case kicking and screaming, and reluctantly follows a trail of broken violins and broken lives as it leads inexorably to the truth, and to his own mortal peril.Performers: Gerald Elias, Jason Hardink, The Lydian String Quartet, Abramyan String Quartet, Lucia Lin, Andre Schub ungekürzt.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 497: All About Autofellatio, Hörbuch, Digital, 25min, (USK 18)
    In today show, we take a look at autofellatio. Writer Jesse Bering's article in Slate ("So Close, and Yet So Far Away: The contorted history of autofellatio") has Susie wondering what this kind of acrobatic self-pleasure would feel like…. But Susie starts off today by reading a hilarious story from The Onion. This comedy news source spoofs on a new sheath they call "No One's Pleasure". It's a condom for "bitter resentful couples who want to intensify their sexual dissatisfaction". The article includes lines like "the product magnifies personal insecurities and awakens deep-seated, unresolved relationship issues…." Susie loves a good laugh. Next up: self fellatio. Jesse Bering's article indicates that it seems to work better if you're into yoga! The history of achieving this feat has both physical and psychological aspects that Susie finds fascinating. Finally, in our "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie gets a disturbing letter from a young listener. It's not that she was dumped and is still a virgin that bothers Susie; it's that her letter also hints at pain and scary dreams about being raped. Have a question?

They are afraid of what might be brought into their doily parlors if "vigil for the dead" should be held in their homes.It is not a fever as I am given to understand, though he burns them anyway as is the mountain custom which we can all agree is a more poetic end.

    Far Futures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1013min
    Five novellas of hard science fiction by five modern masters of the form. From Nebula Award winner Gregory Benford comes this ambitious hard SF anthology that collects five original novellas. Each one takes the very long view - all are set at least ten thousand years in the future. The authors take a rigorously scientific view of such grand panoramas, confronting the largest issues of cosmology, astronomy, evolution, and biology. The last moments of a universe beseiged occupy Greg Bear’s Judgment Engine. Can something human matter at the very end of creation, as contorted matter ceases to have meaning and time itself stutters to an eerie halt? Genesis by Poul Anderson is set a billion years ahead, when humanity has become extinct. Earth is threatened by the slowly warming sun, and vast machine intelligences decide to recreate humans. Donald Kingsbury contributes Historical Crisis, a starting work on the prediction of the human future that challenges the foundations of psychohistory, as developed in Isaac Asimov's famous Foundation Trilogy. Joe Haldeman’s For White Hill confronts humanity with hostile aliens who remorselessly grind down every defense against them. A lone artist struggles to find a place in this distant, wondrous future when humanity seems doomed. In At the Eschaton by Charles Sheffield, a man tries to rescue his dying wife from oblivion by hurling himself forward, in both space and time, to the very end of the universe itself. ungekürzt.

    Why Does God Hate Me: How to Strengthen Your Faith in the Midst of a Spiritual Drought , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 342min
    Author Pens Soul-Embracing Book On Spiritual Healing: There are no tags to identify the spiritually dead. They walk upright as everyday citizens among us, like zombies in search of compassion in a sea of ambivalent love. They are victims of emotional doubt, believing in God by name only. They are only legally married to their spouses and parents to children in the same fashion. However, the emotional flame that once lit their path to adventure is now inevitably snuffed out, and they know not where to turn to reignite it.Where once the childhood spirit of imagination and motivation once welled from them like the Fountain of Youth is now all but replaced by the routine of mundane dogma. There is a specific time appointed to all of us to forgive our past hurts, settle our unpaid debts, and renew what is broken in our spiritual hearts or pay the consequences for a life of merely faking-the-funk of happiness. It is at these emotional wasteland crossroads of life that we find ourselves looking back longer far more than boldly navigating our forward momentum to growth. We become souls desperately seeking any lifeline thrown from humanity that only the Creator could provide if we would only look up to Heaven where our promised help springs eternal.Our contorted beliefs of God as a blocker to our peace and happiness is what damages our abilities to call down the full blessings of Heaven already promised humankind. It is during these painful growth junctures that invade everybody’s life that we can choose to break free of the pain that has enveloped our lives or wallows in the valley of the shadow of death known as spiritual suicide. ungekürzt.

    Bob Mueller's Executive Summary: The Authoritative Highlights from the Special Counsel's Investigation into Russia's Interference in the 2016 Elections , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 82min
    How? What? Why? How could Bob Mueller expect all citizens to read or listen to every one of the 448 pages of his extensive, multi-volume investigative report? How could Bob Mueller ensure that this dense report would not be manipulated and contorted for partisan purposes? How could the same report be variously described as laying the groundwork for impeachment, while others claim it completely exonerates the President? What if Bob Mueller could have given us a summary that is detailed enough to give us the full picture but brief enough to make it accessible to every citizen? Well, he did! A month after the release of the Mueller Report, only 3% of those polled had actually read it all. No wonder most people are completely unaware that Bob Mueller personally wrote introductory paragraphs and executive summaries throughout both volumes of his report. This book gives every citizen the opportunity to review the report’s findings in an accessible manner. You will find the introductions and comprehensive executive summaries presented in an easy-to-listen-to, understandable format with minimal redactions and legalistic language. Why should you rely on biased political interpretations when you can hear it straight from the horse's mouth! Volume I deals with links between Russia and the Trump campaign, while Volume II deals with the issues of obstruction of justice by President Trump. Now you have no excuse to remain ignorant. You owe it to yourself, your family, and your country to understand the implications contained within this report. This is the first draft of history in the making. Listen to it and understand it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Larry Wayne. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/160674/bk_acx0_160674_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Altered Genes, Twisted Truth: How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1260min
    This audiobook uncovers the biggest scientific fraud of our age. It tells the fascinating and frequently astounding story of how the massive enterprise to restructure the genetic core of the world's food supply came into being, how it advanced by consistently violating the protocols of science, and how for more than three decades, hundreds of eminent biologists and esteemed institutions have systematically contorted the truth in order to conceal the unique risks of its products - and get them onto our dinner plates. Altered Genes, Twisted Truth provides a graphic account of how this elaborate fraud was crafted and how it not only deceived the general public, but Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Barack Obama and a host of other astute and influential individuals as well. The audiobook also exposes how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was induced to become a key accomplice - and how it has broken the law and repeatedly lied in order to usher genetically engineered foods onto the market without the safety testing that's required by federal statute. As a result, for fifteen years America's families have been regularly ingesting a group of novel products that the FDA's own scientific staff had previously determined to be unduly hazardous to human health. By the time this gripping story comes to a close, it will be clear that the degradation of science it documents has not only been unsavory but unprecedented - and that in no other instance have so many scientists so seriously subverted the standards they were trained to uphold, misled so many people, and imposed such magnitude of risk on both human health and the health of the environment. ungekürzt.
