Bash Bash Revolution: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min
A compelling coming-of-age artificial intelligence novel from Philip K. Dick Award-nominated author Douglas Lain. Seventeen-year-old Matthew Munson is ranked 13th in the state in Bash Bash Revolution, an outdated video game from 2002 that, in 2017, is still getting tournament play. He’s a high school dropout who still lives at home with his mom, doing little but gaming and moping. That is, until Matthew’s dad turns up again. Jeffrey Munson is a computer geek who’d left home eight years earlier to work on a top-secret military project. Jeff has been a sporadic presence in Matthew’s life, and much to his son’s displeasure insists on bonding over video games. The two start entering local tournaments together, where Jeff shows astonishing aptitude for Bash Bash Revolution in particular. Then, as abruptly as he appeared, Matthew’s father disappears again, just as he was beginning to let Jeff back into his life. The betrayal is life-shattering, and Matthew decides to give chase, in the process discovering the true nature of the government-sponsored artificial intelligence program his father has been involved in. Told as a series of conversations between Matthew and his father’s artificial intelligence program, Bash Bash Revolution is a wildly original novel of apocalypse and revolution, as well as a poignant story of broken family. ungekürzt.

Because She Can, Hörbuch, Digital, 358min
Here is a witty and revealing roman á clef about a woman who finally gets her dream job in book publishing, only to realize she's working for the industry tyrant. Claire Truman's life is in a holding pattern. She's spent six years languishing away at a top publishing house, waiting to be promoted to editor and stretching her ridiculously small salary as far as it will go. And, fresh from an ugly breakup, she's in the midst of her favorite moping strategy: eating her weight in pizza. But when her best friend drags her to an art gallery opening, her life takes flight. When she sees Randall Cox, the man she spent her entire college career lusting after, she can hardly believe her good luck. And when he marches over, strikes up a conversation and asks her to dinner, she thinks she's walking on air. The next morning, when the top editor at a rival publishing house calls her (at Randall's suggestion) with a job offer - complete with a promotion and three times her current salary - Claire believes she's getting everything she's ever wanted. But be careful what you wish for. Vivian Grant, her new boss, is even worse than the industry gossip led her to believe. From her middle-of-the-night phone calls, her impossible demands, the ridiculous hours, and her insulting and vicious verbal attacks, Vivian piles on the work and the abuse. As work demands more and more of her time and her soul, will Randall Cox remain her Prince Charming? Language: English. Narrator: Mary Birdsong.

Wild Limo Ride: Crossdresing Stories, Book 31 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min, (USK 18)
He noticed her as he came through the door that led into the arrival hall. He had actually stopped to adjust his eyeglasses and was hoping on moving on to the exit with the slim briefcase he held in his hand. The woman was holding a placard in her hand. There was something about her that made him take a closer look. It wasn’t as if he was the only person who had caught sight of the woman. He observed that other people, including men and women, who encountered her either had to take another look after they walked past her, or they deliberately stopped walking quickly in order to get a good look at her. So, even if he was supposed to be guilty and charged for staring, moping, or leering, at least he knew he wasn’t going to be alone. She reminded him of a pilot, the way that the black cap rested on her head as if it was meant to always be there. She wore it so well that it perfectly complemented her silver colored hair. And speaking of her hair, she chose to allow it to fall loosely on her shoulders and on her back. Her eyes were big, taking in everything that came within view. As she looked around, the long artificial eyelashes that she had on flicked and fluttered like the wings of a bird. Her nose was straight and pointed, while her lips were full and painted in bright red. She was dressed in what appeared to be a uniform made up of a white short-sleeved blouse and a pair of black pants. But it was not her uniform that was eye-catching. It was the figure inside the uniform. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katrina Medina. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/234266/bk_acx0_234266_sample.mp3.

A Killing Spring: A Joanne Kilbourn Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min
Gail Bowen, winner of the 1995 Arthur Ellis Award for best crime novel for her last Joanne Kilbourn mystery, A Colder Kind of Death, is back - with her most daring mystery to date. In the horrifying opening paragraph of A Killing Spring, Reed Gallagher, the head of the School of Journalism at the university where Joanne Kilbourn teaches, is found dead in a seedy rooming house. He is dressed in women's lingerie, with an electric cord around his neck. Suicide, the police say. A clear case of accidental suicide. But for Joanne, who takes on the thankless task of breaking the news to Gallagher's wife, this death is just the first in a series of misfortunes that rock her life, both professional and personal. A few days after Gallagher's death, the School of Journalism is vandalized - its offices and computers are trashed, and homophobic graffiti is sprayed everywhere. Then an unattractive and unpopular journalism student in Joanne's politics class stops coming to school after complaining to an unbelieving Joanne that she's being sexually harassed. Clearly, all is not as well at the university as Joanne had thought. Nor is all well in her love life after the casual racism of a stranger drives a wedge between Joanne and her lover, Inspector Alex Kequahtooway. To make matters worse, Joanne is unceremoniously fired by her best friend from the weekly political panel on Nationtv, which she's being doing for years. Badly shaken by these calamities, Joanne struggles to carry cheerfully on. Action, she knows, is better for her than moping. She decides to find out why her student has stopped coming to class, and in doing so, Joanne steps unknowingly into an on-campus world of fear and deceit and murder. ungekürzt. Language: English.
