Destinies Dark Game: Book Two in the Evolution, Series 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
The world as Irvin knew it had blinked out of existence. Nothing of humanity had survived the cataclysmic "end of days." While the threat of complete destruction darkened the skies, Irvin struggled below. Minute by minute, he strove to come to terms with his loss of identity and feelings of isolation. His only companions and protection were from a small group of cyborgs, and his only hope was to adjust to his new reality and to wait for his family's promised return.For Jonah, Felicity, and Dante, escaping Earth was easy compared to the labyrinth of existence they were forced to negotiate on the alien planet of Ogzek. They rapidly realized that their view of life would need to shift in a different direction if they were to avoid the many traps.On Azadin, all the inhabitants desired was a new game of vast dimensions and thrills. The only person capable of delivering such an event was their grand designer Dante, but he was nowhere to be found. In his absence, Emperor Talus decides that nothing could be more exciting than to wipe-out the organics and have a space war. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nigel Peever.

The Reluctant Billionaire : Island Escapes, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 144min
Sunfish Island Resort seems like the perfect place for Jace Hunter to recover from a serious illness…as long as nobody figures out his family owns the island.Meeting Nessa, a psychiatrist turned bartender, Jace comes to realize that maybe the society life he’s been living isn’t where his future happiness lies.*Tempted to pour him some iced water, she asked instead, “Virgin?”Jace blinked in surprise. “It’s been a while, but no, I’m not.”The bartender threw her head back and laughed. She was pretty, Jace had noticed that right off: her skin a rich dark bronze with black hair falling to her waist in a mass of tiny braids. When she laughed, she was really beautiful, dimples appearing in her cheeks, light amber-brown eyes flashing with mirth.“I was asking if you want a hard or a soft drink. Alcoholic, or not,” she said through girlish giggles.Author's Note: While the Island Escapes books all take place on the same resort island on Australia's Great Barrier Reef and a number of characters recur in several books, each story is a complete standalone romance with a guaranteed happily ever after for the featured couple! ungekürzt.

I Am in Here: The Journey of a Child with Autism Who Cannot Speak but Finds Her Voice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 312min
She looked into my eyes and blinked hers slowly and deliberately, like a stroke victim, to show me that, although she couldn't speak, she understood what I was saying to her. I stroked her hair softly. 'I know you're in there, honey,' I told her. 'We'll get you out. Despite the horror of seeing 15-month-old Elizabeth slip away into autism, her mother knew that her bright little girl was still in there. When Elizabeth eventually learned to communicate, first by using a letterboard and later by typing, the poetry she wrote became proof of a glorious, life-affirming victory for this young girl and her family. I Am in Here is the spiritual journey of a mother and daughter who refuse to give up hope, who celebrate their victories, and who keep trying to move forward despite the obstacles. Although she cannot speak, Elizabeth writes poetry that shines a light on the inner world of autism and the world around us. That poetry and her mother's stirring storytelling combine in this inspirational book to proclaim that there is always a reason to take the next step forward - with hope. ungekürzt.

Scabs III: Humans, Gods, and Monsters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 706min
The final tale in the intense Scabs trilogyI was created by human emotion; love, elation, hate, fear, desperation. On occasion, I awaken and become aware. It is always triggered by humanity's cry for help. - Kokumthena Scott, Warren, and Missy Walsh did not understand what their roles were to be when the omnipresent light first blinked on. They believed their only obligation was to find a safe place for their small family to escape what was happening all around them. But fate would not allow them to hide away in the North Carolina cabin for long. Now, with their number hovering near a dozen survivors, they must work together - along with Koku, the flawed, self-aware goddess with a long-term memory problem - to preserve Earth for humanity's occupation. Earth Canyon Retreat is their sanctuary for the moment, but as the invaders make adjustments, so must the survivors. As the winged, clawed, and fanged monsters ravage all life forms on Earth, working toward their goal of total annihilation, these ragtag remnants of humanity must find some way to drive the interlopers from the planet. For when humanity dies, so do its Gods...once and for all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric A. Shelman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/088909/bk_acx0_088909_sample.mp3.

Young wizards Eynon and Merry suddenly have to cope with a huge, scaly, ill-tempered fire-breathing problem allied with their worst enemy.“What. Is. That?” asked Merry.“Fly higher,” shouted Nûd from the back of his wyvern.Merry and Eynon were side by side on their flying disks, hovering close by. The wyvern was already following Nûd’s recommendation and gaining altitude. Eynon and Merry did likewise until they were 100 feet up and could witness the terrifying scene unfolding below.The floor of the quarry buckled and split, revealing a huge, green-scaled monstrosity. Rocks from the quarry floor were sliding off the beast’s back, crashing down into piles of jagged stone. A cloud of greenish dust rose from the quarry as boulders the size of milk cows sailed skyward, tossed up by snapping layers of stone.Then, the great beast’s long neck came free, releasing a wedge-shaped head with a mouth large enough to swallow them all in one bite and teeth the size of scimitars. The head moved left and right, using long-dormant muscles. Intelligent dark green eyes with vertical black pupils blinked in the sunlight. Their depths seemed to spin in a hypnotic pattern.“Well,” said the great green dragon. “Is it time?” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Kenny.

Sherlock Holmes: Dragging a Broken Wing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 208min
Sherlock Holmes is one of those iconic characters who have become so embedded in our culture that he transcends space and time. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the currently popular series, Sherlock, have tried to kill off the famous character. So what is it about this colorful, egocentric, brilliant, conceited man that engages the imagination? Sherlock Holmes: Bird Dragging a Broken Wing explores one possible reason why Holmes can be "killed" over and over and still survive - along with his arch nemesis, Moriarty - to become the subject of yet another story. Be prepared to be amazed and awed, to delve into strange cultures, to meet characters almost as colorful and amazing as Holmes himself in this story about Sherlock Holmes. The author has boldly incorporated iconic figures from other tales, as well, weaving the fabric of a "never-when" world that will intrigue and entice, while titillating the imagination. Suspend disbelief as you enter a slightly anachronistic world in that moment between the sinking of the Titanic and before prohibition. Enter an era that was so brief in history that if you blinked, you would have missed it. Listen, and learn the amazing number of futures that can be packed into a single moment. ungekürzt.

Love Me, Hurt Me: A Husband's Tale of His Wife Torturing Him, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 54min, (USK 18)
The sound of metal against cement echoing throughout the basement was an eerie sound, especially when I knew what was causing the noise. As the sound came closer to me, I knew it was her. She walked over to a hanging lamp from the ceiling and switched it on. The brightness in my eyes caused me to have blurry vision and temporary blindness and my eyes had to adjust for a minute or two. When they did, it probably would have been better if my eyes were still blurry. Standing in front of me was the statuesque body of a woman with long black wavy hair, blue eyes, legs that wouldn't quit and breasts that were perched upon top of a leather corset. Her waist was cinched and her hips were round. She had an hourglass figure. She had a whip that was round in a circle on a clasp on her corset that dangled. If I blinked my eyes a little and while they were focusing, she was a reminiscing figure of a childhood hero that I had once admired, Wonder Woman. But, this woman was not here for good. No, she was here to cause pain and torture to me, at any cost. The woman was my wife. Yes, most husbands have a loving wife, but mine was scorned. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Candy Kross.

The Trial of Maximo Bonga: The Story of the Strangest Guesthouse in South East Asia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 612min
There was someone standing further along the beach, facing out to sea. An old man dressed in...I blinked...battle fatigues? Second World War US by the looks of the helmet. I looked on for a moment, squinting into the sun-streaked coconut smoke. "You won’t like Bonga’s Guest House, I can tell you now. Maximo Bonga," said the fisherman’s wife. She was lost for words, shaking her head. "Maximum Bongo?" I asked. "Bonga," she said. "It means flamboyant." Based on a true story. On one of Southeast Asia’s most remote beaches, a young woman’s body is found. The corrupt local police think they have found the perfect fall guy in Maximo Bonga - cantankerous World War Two veteran and owner of the weirdest guesthouse in town. But unbeknownst to them, an unlikely friendship has been forged between Maximo and John, one of the boarders of Maximo’s guest house-cum-boot camp, where an old machine gun and camouflaged mantraps stand guard, sandbags form fences and a tyrannical pet rooster terrorises the guests. Along with an eccentric bunch of modern-world rejects, John sets out to defend the old soldier in a kangaroo court set up at the local cockpit, in a paradise like no other. John Harris left his job at 18 to travel and work around the world. His trip round Southeast Asia formed the background for his best-selling first book, The Backpacker. John is currently based in Vietnam. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Addis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/024180/bk_adbl_024180_sample.mp3.

Sissy Feminization - Controlling His Life (Volume 2) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min, (USK 18)
James nervously fastened the pink straps on his high heels and blinked as his sissy persona stared back at him in the full-length mirror. Within minutes, his wife was going to parade him across the Beach Beauty Contest, showing off the feminized and emasculated husband. James watched nervously as his wife submitted the completed form at the front desk. The curious cross dresser had been caught red-handed in his wife's underwear, and she'd been eager to parade him in front of their new neighbors, smiling as she watched him sweat in his maid's outfit. The once-confident husband had been transformed overnight into an obedient sissy maid, tending to his wife's every need. Kathryn pulled James into the lingerie shop, coercing him to try on various outfits as his alter-persona sissy, and when the dominant wife stumbled across a Beach Beauty Contest, she leaped at the chance to enter the highly anticipated weekend contest. The late evening Saturday beach contest was the state's biggest, presented in front of crowds of thousands and various photographers scattered across the audience capturing the beauty on display. James's sissy persona Jennifer is stretched far beyond any limits he ever imagined as his cruel and dominant wife showcases her sissy in the skimpiest and most revealing outfit to the thirsty crowd. This 15,000 word short contains explicit scenes and should be enjoyed by adults only. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Concha di Pastoro.
