The Legacy of Shadow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1046min
Penumbra, a haphazard city of outcasts, rebels, and malcontents, has floated around a dead planet in a backwater system for longer than living memory can recall. Its towers abandoned starships melded to an ancient, mysterious core, Penumbra is the last remnant of chaotic individualism in a galaxy where conformity to the will of the all-powerful Galactic Council is paramount. Dropped into this dangerous mix are Marcus Wells - a Human of Earth who has squandered his potential to live a life of least resistance - and his adventurous friend Justin. Immediately entangled in local politics and targeted by a vengeful representative of the Council who is determined to drag the city back into the fold, Marcus has a choice to make: continue following the path of least resistance and allow Penumbra to fall, or show these aliens what a truly determined Human can accomplish. ungekürzt.

At Dawn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 740min
Caught in a riptide of haphazard underemployment, at turns violent and unpredictable, suffering under a bad economy with no family or friends to speak of, Stratton Brown longs for the chance to escape his small-town past and build a new life. He sets out for Chicago, where he meets a new and fresh hell: a nine-to-fiver in a nondescript, meaningless company, and an obsessive love affair with woman who may be a bit too attached to her abusive ex-boyfriend. Is this all America has to offer its 20-somethings? He’ll soon have to figure out that beneath the gruff labor of building a new life lies the presence of something much more true: a way past his violent childhood and a new path to the American dream. At Dawn is a literary debut of a fresh and powerful male voice in fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Woodman.

Lover's Leap , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 534min
After finding her fiancé in bed with another woman, Candace, a 20-something, up-and-coming romance novelist with a deadline, takes off for a friend’s vacation home in Tahoe. The good news? She’ll share the place with fellow house guest Logan, her best friend Eric’s latest lover. Except...Logan, the nearly irresistible-to-women, burned-out photographer, isn’t Eric’s lover. Not now, not ever. He’s hiding out licking personal wounds, and before he’s allowed anywhere near Candace, he’s sworn off her. No problem. Except...There’s something about Candace. She’s not simply beautiful and enticingly off-limits. It’s in the way she doesn’t flirt with him. In the way she treats him like he isn’t a shallow pleasure-seeker. In the way, somehow, she brings peace to his world-weary soul. Too bad she thinks he’s gay. But even if he can clear that hurdle, can he really entrust Candace’s heart to his own haphazard keeping? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Melissa Roa.

Run Like Hell: A Few Tiny Tales to Chill Your Blood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 51min
This is a small gathering of spine-tingling tales in the tradition of old Twilight Zone episodes, EC Comics, as well as the terrors of old radio shows of yesteryear. Written with a modern, cutting-edge patchwork of paranoia, the few tales that are contained within will most assuredly have listeners doing one of two things: scratching their heads or begging for more. This book was written by Steve Gray, who produced such titles as Kane Hodder's Unmasked audiobook, narrated and produced Those Among Us by Daniel Loubier, and narrated and produced The House on Creep Street by The Blood Brothers. This book was written in a haphazard, disturbing style, the way it exited the mind, and the sloppiness of the format is preserved to contain the harshness. Misspellings, dirty words, offensive jargon, and improper use of grammar have all been left as-is in order to convey the overall dark, disturbed overtone. Enjoy! ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Worst of Evils: The Fight Against Pain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1238min
This riveting audiobook takes the listener around the globe and through the centuries to discover how different cultures have sought to combat and treat physical pain. With colorful stories and sometimes frightening anecdotes, Dr. Thomas Dormandy describes a checkered progression of breakthroughs, haphazard experiments, ignorant attitudes, and surprising developments in human efforts to control pain. Attitudes toward pain and its perception have changed, as have the means of pain relief and scientific understanding. Dr. Dormandy offers a thoroughly fascinating, multicultural history that culminates with a discussion of today's successes - and failures - in the struggle against pain. The book's exploration is fused with accounts of the development of specific methods of pain relief, including the use of alcohol, plants, hypnosis, religious faith, stoic attitudes, local anesthesia, general anesthesia, and modern analgesics. Dr. Dormandy also looks at the most recent advances in pain clinics and palliative care for patients with terminal disease, as well as the prospects for loosening pain's grip in the future. ungekürzt.

The Companion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 673min
The Companion is a beautiful and powerfully told story of buried secrets, set between the 1930s and the present day on the wild Yorkshire moors. Billy Shaw lives in a palace. Potter's Pleasure Palace, the best entertainment venue in Yorkshire, complete with dancing and swing-boats and picnickers and a roller-skating rink. Jasper Harper lives in the big house above the valley, with his eccentric mother, Edie, and Uncle Charles, brother and sister authors who have come from London to write in the seclusion of the moors. When it is arranged for Billy to become Jasper's companion, Billy arrives to find a wild, peculiar boy in a curiously haphazard household where nothing that's meant is said and the air is thick with secrets. Later, when Charles and Edie are found dead, it is ruled a double suicide, but fictions have become tangled up in facts, and it's left to Anna Sallis, almost a century later, to unravel the knots and piece together the truth.

The Good Soldier , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 439min
The Good Soldier is a story about the complex social and sexual relationships between two couples - one English, one American - and the growing awareness of American narrator John Dowell of the intrigues and passions behind their orderly Edwardian façade. It is Dowell’s attitude - his puzzlement, uncertainty, and the seemingly haphazard manner of his narration - that makes the book so powerful and mysterious. In Ford’s brilliantly woven tale, nothing is quite what it seems. Despite its catalog of death, insanity, and despair, this novel has many comic moments and has inspired the work of several distinguished writers, including Graham Greene. Originally published in 1915, The Good Soldier is considered by many to be Ford Madox Ford’s masterpiece. Ford Madox Ford (1873–1939) was a novelist, poet, literary critic, editor, and one of the founding fathers of English Modernism. He published over seventy books in his lifetime, perhaps most famously The Good Soldier. His books often centered on the conflict between traditional British values and those of the modern industrial society. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ralph Cosham.
