    Batman Knightfall Omnibus Vol. 2 Knightquest
    A new Batman's deadly crusade against the criminals of Gotham City begins! Bruce Wayne, battle-broken and out of commission after his epic showdown with Gotham's famous villain Bane, has appointed a new Dark Knight to keep the bad guys at bay. Jean-Paul Valley (a.k.a. Azrael) has assumed the role of the caped crusader, but without Bruce's integrity as a calming influence, Jean-Paul is swiftly getting out of hand, alienating both Robin and Commissioner Gordon. Meanwhile, the hulking baddie Bane is still on the loose, while new villainous foes are introduced onto the battlefield that is Gotham, including master marksman Mekros and sinister sniper Gunhawk. Also, watch out for the return of familiar faces such as the serial killer Abattoir and, of course, the eerily jovial Joker. Can the new Dark Knight face these nefarious challenges without Bruce Wayne and Robin? Might his violent manner of crime-fighting permanently cripple the already beleaguered Gotham? BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL OMNIBUS VOLUME 2: KNIGHTQUEST includes the best-selling story lines "The Crusade" and "The Search" from BATMAN #501-508, BATMAN LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT #59-61, BATMAN: SHADOW OF THE BAT #19-27, CATWOMAN #6-7 DETECTIVE COMICS #667-675, JUSTICE LEAGUE TASK FORCE #5-6, ROBIN #1-2 and 7, and SHOWCASE '94 #7.

    The Love of the Game: Parenthood, Sport and Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
    A brilliant exploration of the relationship between parents and children in sport, written and narrated by Match of the Day 2 presenter Mark Chapman. BBC sports presenter Mark Chapman is no longer in his physical prime. There is an argument to suggest he has never been in his physical prime. Now in his 40s - his early 40s, as he is often at pains to point out - he is facing a world of knee replacements and ever-expanding waistlines whilst his children are thriving. There is huge pride that they are doing so well, but it is mixed with a bittersweet sadness that he will never get his own sporting heyday back. It is also mixed with a fair amount of jealousy that actually they are better than he ever was - and a large amount of sulking that they are now able to beat him at a wide range of sports. He is passionate about sport, and it has played a huge part in his life. His parents encouraged him from a very early age, and he wants to pass the baton on to his son and daughters. Although there is every chance he might drop it and have a massive strop instead. The Love of the Game is about the constant battle not to become the sporting pariah, the biggest baddie in the world of kids' sport, the nightmare sporting dad. But beyond that it paints sport as a touchstone for everything important: growing up, becoming a parent, getting old, learning how to win (and how to lose gracefully) and the legacy we all hope to leave our children - in short, life and all that goes into it. ungekürzt.

    One Man: No Plan: K'Barthan Series, Part 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 885min
    The Pan of Hamgee needs answers, although he’s not even sure he knows the questions. He has a chance to go straight but it’s been so long that he’s almost forgotten how. Despite a death warrant over his head he is released, given a state-sponsored business, and a year’s amnesty for all misdemeanors while he adjusts. On the down side, Ruth has left him for his nemesis, Lord Vernon.   The Pan doesn’t have a year, either. In only five days Lord Vernon will gain total power and destroy K'Barth. Unless The Pan can stop him. Because even though the Candidate, the person prophesied to save K'Barth, has finally appeared it's still going to be down to The Pan to make things right. But he has no clue where to start or whether he even can.   The future hangs by a thread and the only person who can fix it is The Pan: a man without a plan.  A word with the author:  What made you write the K'Barthan Series? Why is it special?  You know the saying: that if the book you want doesn't exist you must write it? That. I love funny British authors, comedic sci fi, epic fantasy, adventure, action, humour - or humor. Misfit characters are great, the weirder the better and an evil baddie. I like genre fiction mashups: alien races, flying cars, car chases, static powered laser guns. Dr Who meets Terry Pratchett. K'Barth is kind of first contact, only not. There are quirky characters, from 6-foot Swamp Things with antennae to cute furry Blurpons with fluffy ears, button eyes and love of extreme violence. But the eternal questions they face mirror ours.  This series should be heard in order: This is book three, to make sense of it, listen to Few Are Chosen, K'Barthan Series: Part 1 and The Wrong Stuff, K'Barthan Series: Part 2, first. The last book is Looking For Trouble, K'Barthan Series: Part 4 There's also a free 30 min prequel if you join my mailing list: https://www.hamgee.co.uk/audioud.html ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Wrong Stuff: K'Barthan Series, Part 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1148min
    The Pan of Hamgee is not a natural knight in shining armor. Yet he has escaped from police custody in K’Barth, switched realities and foiled Lord Vernon’s attempt to kidnap Ruth, the Chosen One, from the Festival Hall. Pretty good, he thinks.  However, Ruth thinks otherwise. Being pursued by Lord Vernon is bad enough. Now, thanks to The Pan, she’s on the run. They are both alive, of course, but with Lord Vernon on their tail neither of them can be sure how long for.  To save K'Barth and Ruth, the woman of his dreams, The Pan must introduce her to the Candidate, who is prophesied to be the man of her dreams. And he must do it fast - before Lord Vernon finds her. But the gentleman in question is in hiding and no one knows where. Only The Pan can find him, if he can bring himself to unite them.  A word with the author  Q - What made you write the K'Barthan Series? Why is it special? A - You know the saying: that if the book you want doesn't exist you have to write it? That. I love funny British authors, comedic sci fi, epic fantasy, adventure, action, humour - or humor. Misfit characters are great, the weirder the better and an evil baddie. I like genre fiction mashups: Star Wars with alien races, flying cars, car chases, static powered laser guns. Dr. Who meets Terry Pratchett and James Bond. K'Barth is kind of first contact, only not. There are many quirky characters, from 6-foot Swamp Things with antennae to cute furry Blurpons with fluffy ears, big button eyes and penchant for extreme violence. But the eternal questions they face mirror ours.  Q - What are the other books in K'Barthan Series? A - This is the second book in the series. If you haven't listened to the first, Few Are Chosen, K'Barthan Series: Part 1 it's best to start there.

    Few Are Chosen: K'Barthan Series: Part 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 807min
    Meet The Pan of Hamgee: coward, unwilling adventurer and, by some miracle, K’Barth’s longest surviving outlaw. He just wants a quiet life so working as a getaway driver is probably a bad career move. Then he falls in love at first sight with a woman he hasn't even met who comes from an alternative reality. That’s when things really begin to get complicated.  Meet Ruth Cochrane: She’s the Chosen One, destined to play a pivotal role in saving K’Barth from a cruel dictator. She’s never heard of K’Barth, though. She’s a public relations executive from London and she’s totally unaware of the chaos about to hit her life.  Meet Lord Vernon: power hungry psychopath on the brink of world domination. He wants to cement his hold on K'Barth by kidnapping the Chosen One and forcing her to marry him. Only one person is standing in his way: someone who doesn’t even realize it, The Pan of Hamgee. For The Pan, and Ruth, that’s a deadly problem.  A quick word with the author Q - So, tell us about the K’Barthan Series. What made you write it? What makes it special? A - Why did I write it? Well...you know they say that if a book you want to read hasn't been written, you must write it. That. I like to read quirky humour and it hadn't been written. I have always loved British satire and humor or humour. I love funny; funny epic fantasy series like Discworld, comedic sci fi like Douglas Adams. But I also like a bit of adventure and action; a gripping tale that zips along quickly. I wanted likeable characters, although the baddie is utterly vile but love to hate is just as good, right? I love misfit characters, the weirder and more colourful, the better. And of course, I like mashups; that's why I love Star Wars, because it's part sci-fi, part fantasy, part adventure, part coming-of-age...a dash of western, a squidge of romance. I wanted weird alien races, flying cars, car chases, static powered laser guns...and funny. Terry ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gareth Davies.

    Trejo: My Life of Crime, Redemption, and Hollywood
    In this "celebration of a life fully lived" (Reyna Grande, author of The Distance Between Us), discover the full, fascinating, and inspirational true story of Danny Trejo's journey from crime, prison, addiction, and loss—it's "enough to make you believe in the possibility of a Hollywood ending" (The New York Times Book Review). On screen, Danny Trejo the actor is a baddie who has been killed at least a hundred times. He's been shot, stabbed, hanged, chopped up, squished by an elevator, and once, was even melted into a bloody goo. Off screen, he's a hero beloved by recovery communities and obsessed fans alike. But the real Danny Trejo is much more complicated than the legend. Raised in an abusive home, Danny struggled with heroin addiction and stints in some of the country's most notorious state prisons—including San Quentin and Folsom—from an early age, before starring in such modern classics as Heat, From Dusk till Dawn, and Machete. Now, in this funny, painful, and suspenseful memoir, Danny takes us through the incredible ups and downs of his life, including meeting one of the world's most notorious serial killers in prison and working with legends like Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro. An honest, unflinching, and "inspirational study in the definition of character" (Kevin Smith, director and actor), Trejo reveals how he managed the horrors of prison, rebuilt himself after finding sobriety and spirituality in solitary confinement, and draws inspiration from the adrenaline-fueled robbing heists of his past for the film roles that made him a household name. He also shares the painful contradictions in his personal life. Although he speaks everywhere from prison yards to NPR about his past to inspire countless others on their own road to recovery and redemption, he struggles to help his children with their personal battles with addiction, and to build relationships that last. Redemptive and painful, poignant and real, Trejo is a portrait of a magnificent life and an unforgettable and exceptional journey that proves "though we may fall down at some point in our lives, it's what we do when we stand back up that really counts" (Robert Rodriguez, filmmaker and producer).
