    Jackstraw , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 662min
    A gripping thriller of action, intrigue, and betrayal, in the tradition of Vince Flynn and Robert Ludlum. Thomas Jackstraw, heir to a long family tradition of proud military men, was drummed out of West Point 20 years ago when he wouldn’t denounce fellow cadets for cheating. In the two decades since, he has traveled the world as a highly paid mercenary, training Third World armies and guerrilla factions and sometimes leading them into battle. After his young bride dies in a suspicious car crash, he grows disillusioned and retreats from the world of emotion. His latest job takes him to a small backwater republic in South America, where he spends his nights drinking and his days trying to build an army from a ragtag group of rebels. So when Jackstraw, an excellent marksman, is offered a small fortune to fake the assassination of a U.S. vice-presidential candidate, things get really complicated - especially when he and the attractive, amoral politician, Rachel Valentine, meet and hit it off very, very well. Jackstraw suspects a double-cross, however, and plots an alternate escape route. But he’s a step behind the trickery. When the staged shooting goes horribly awry, he barely survives and makes his way back to the U.S., where he becomes a fugitive hunted by every law enforcement agency in the nation. As he works his way across the country, he must use all his considerable skills to evade capture and turn the tables on the shadowy forces conspiring against him. From the jungles of South America and the peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the backrooms and bedrooms of a presidential campaign, Jackstraw is both a thrilling adventure story, and a tangled tale of redemption, greed, power - and even love. ungekürzt.

    The Perfect Instrument: A Michael Bekker Adventure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 956min
    Broad-shouldered US military operative Michael Bekker was looking forward to his first field assignment with the CIA. But while hunting a source of terrorist funding in Baghdad, the new mission goes suddenly, horribly wrong. Blamed for an explosion that he barely escapes, Bekker’s life is shattered: He’s drummed out of the military, loses his dream girl, and is framed for a murder he didn’t commit. Now on the run, his only shot at freedom is to accept a covert op to stop a biological weapons lab in the country of his birth: war-torn Ukraine. Is Michael Bekker truly the “perfect instrument” to prevent bio-weapons from exploding the region’s civil crisis into a full-blown global conflict? Can he unravel the international conspiracy exploiting innocent victims of war in time to save himself or the ones he loves? The story is not just about action and adrenaline. It is about people - what they feel, how they react to certain situations. It is about relationships. It is about different cultures. It is about right and wrong. Readers and listeners who are looking for a pure action book could find it boring or extended. The story is about anyone - even about you, a normal person - who is out of luck in his or her life and feels that there's no control over the situation and how, if it is possible, to get it right and make sense of your own life. What do you need to make it happen? Is it your friend? Is it your faith? Is it your internal strength? Is it your desire? Is it luck? Is it all together? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 827min
    BioWare and LucasArts—creators of the hugely popular Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game—have combined their storytelling talents and cutting-edge technology for an innovative new massively multiplayer online role-playing game that allows players to create their own personal Star Wars adventure 3,500 years before the rise of Darth Vader. Now, number-one New York Times best-selling author Sean Williams brings the world of the game to life in his latest novel, Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance. Tassaa Bareesh, a matriarch in the Hutt crime cartel, is holding an auction that’s drawing attention from across the galaxy. Representatives of both the Republic and the Sith Empire are present, along with a Jedi Padawan sent to investigate, a disenfranchised trooper drummed out of the Republic’s elite Blackstar Squad, and a mysterious Mandalorian with a private agenda. But the Republic’s envoy is not what he seems, the Empire’s delegate is a ruthless Sith apprentice, the Jedi Padawan is determined to do the right thing and terrified that he can’t, the trooper hopes to redeem her reputation, and the Mandalorian is somehow managing to keep one step ahead of everyone. None of these guests—invited or uninvited—have any intention of participating in the auction. Instead they plan to steal the prize, which is locked inside an impregnable vault: two burned chunks of an exploded star cruiser, one of which may hold the key to the wealth of an entire world. But the truth about the treasure is dangerous and deadly. And in the end, Sith and Jedi, Republic and Empire, must do something they’ve never done before, something that all the agents of good and evil could never make them do: join together to stop a powerful threat that could destroy the galaxy. ungekürzt.

    The Guardians: The Guardians, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 340min
    In the war between heaven and hell, a special race of humans with supernatural abilities will represent the balance between darkness and light. They are known as The Guardians. Jack Bennett comes from a long line of Guardians, a fact that has been drummed into him since he was a kid. When he and a select group of elite Guardians are called upon by the Archangel Michael to complete a special assignment, Jack gladly accepts. Seven years later a failing mission and personal losses have left him jaded, bitter, and without room for love or relationships in his life. The past that Addison Monroe is so desperately trying to escape is one she can't outrun. The darkness inside that causes her to act unpredictably has gone unexplained until now. A woman claiming to be an angel appears with a revelation that will shake Addison to her core: her dark nature is explained as Addison discovers that she is one of the Nephilim - a child born of a human mother and demon father. Despite the dark nature she was born with, Addison has been chosen by heaven for a special purpose. Ten scrolls spelled to open up portals between hell and Earth; 10 demons who are using them to come and go from Earth at will, a violation of the terms set by heaven in the battle for souls; and one demon, known as the Great Duke of Hell, who will stop at nothing to defeat her. Fighting alongside two Guardians, Addison must uncover the legendary Seal of Solomon - a ring that is said to possess the power to destroy demons - and wield it against the enemies of heaven. As his task to protect her develops into something more, Jack will find separating his job from his personal life nearly impossible. Ignoring the dangers of becoming too attached, Jack will find that a woman whose very nature should repulse him might just be his saving grace. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Henry McNulty.

    Faithful to Christ: A Challenge to Truly Live for Christ , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 298min
    Only fear the Lord and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. (1 Samuel 12:24)"If there is a true faith, there must be a declaration of it. If you are a candle, and God has lit you, then let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in the heavens." (Matthew 5:16)Soldiers of Christ must, like soldiers of our nation, wear their uniforms; and if they are ashamed of their uniforms, they ought to be drummed out of the army. I believe that many Christians get into a lot of trouble by not being honest in their convictions. For instance, if a person goes into a workshop, or a soldier into a barracks, and if he does not fly his flag from the beginning, it will be very difficult for him to run it up afterward. But if he immediately and boldly lets them know, “I am a Christian, and there are certain things that I cannot do to please you, and certain other things that I cannot help doing even though they might displease you” – when that is clearly understood, after a while, the peculiarity of the thing will be gone, and the person will be let alone. However, if he is a little dishonest and thinks that he is going to please the world and please Christ too, he can depend on it that he is in for a rough time. If he tries the way of compromise, his life will be like that of a toad under a harrow or a fox in a dog kennel. That will never do. Come out. Show your colors. Let it be known who you are and what you are. Although your course will not be smooth, it will certainly not be half as rough as if you tried to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds, which is a very difficult piece of business. The list of chapters in the audiobook include:PrideBroken KeysDouble-MindednessLabor That Doesn’t SatisfyThe Table of the ReprobateThe Self-Righteous GuestsDr ungekürzt.

    Under the Big Top
    Kieran's 15 track effort, wraps us in riddles and tells it like it is. Under the Big Top is an imaginative pastiche of songs. It offers something both for listeners of alternative rock and the indie-elite. The musicality on her new album is worth it's weight in gold, as it is predominantly accompanied by world class musicians such as Ricky Lawson (Steeley Dan), Ian Walker, Danny Frankel, Aaron Sterling, and keyboardist, Patrick Warren, who has contributed to the works of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fiona Apple, Springsteen, Aimee Mann, and Neil Diamond. While many of her tracks fall left of pop, upon a closer listen, this is not music for the simple. Each track assumes it's own sonic landscape. What ties the songs on Under the Big Top together is Leigh's poignant honesty. "There were a lot of years of strife and walking the tightrope. In hindsight, that's where much of my music sprang from, so a cursed blessing in a way. I don't think anyone expected me to actually do it, but, here I am' On Under the Big Top, Kieran's vocal style ranges from smoky to shape-shifting folk melodies with surreal harmonies. The often off-kilter architecture of harmonies and choruses makes this album extremely intriguing. Kieran's songs are wrought with longing, create vivid images of commitment-phobes, and recreate somewhat bizarre auditory snippets she captured during sleep. Kieran Leigh is the third out of four children, and sister of movie Director, Peter Segal (Get Smart, 50 First Dates). Born in Manhattan, NY as Kieran Leigh Segal, her first generation American father, of Russian roots, found his way working in show business during the heyday at MGM, and her English born mother, of Irish decent, was a Top Ten fashion model. She recalls, 'My earliest memory was of Cecelia (Simon and Garfunkel) on the stereo as we drove through NYC. It is such a unique song, harmonies that pop in and out of nowhere building on each other, and a truly unique array of percussion. I loved it. That's when I recall wanting to be able to make music." They soon, moved to Southern Califronia where her sister used to play Elton John and Pink Floyd"...which then lead me to Zeppelin. As I grew up, I had discovered that they borrowed from the blues, so, I soused out Robert Johnson. His vocal phrasing and guitar playing sucked me in. He told a tale that got everyone's attention with as little as a three-chord progression. He wasn't polished nor pretty, but played and sang with unbelievable soul - what a guitarist. The Doors brought me to Morrison who brought me to Nietzsche, existentialism and the thought of eternal recurrence. I became more attracted to complex music, jazz and classical. Then, Phish, because they are irreverent, Dave Matthews, MMW, Radiohead, in terms of bands on the periphery of mainstream rock. My dad frequently had something like a Rhapsody In Blue blaring, or Ella with her incredible vocal abilities cooing us with Let's Call The Whole Thing Off, or, Louis singing A Foggy Day, and naturally Chet with The Thrill is gone. My dad really helped shape my musical interest." After the end of a relationship in 2004, Kieran began Under the Big Top. "I started dreaming music, vivid full-length songs. More out of curiosity I started working them out because they were so fantastic in my head - I mean, when they come in, they are broadcast via a pristine, pure, heaven-like stereo system.' About three weeks later, I had twenty songs. I gave them to a friend of mine, Jeff Gerst, and he, unbeknownst to me, brought them to a producer friend of his, Andrew Shapiro. Andrew called me and said, 'I want to make and album with you.' That was a life turning moment for me. We made the The Ep. Then, the ball was rolling. The songs kept coming to me, so I kept making them.' Andrew Shapiro and his wife had a baby, and Jeff moved to New York, leaving it up to Kieran if she wanted to continue. What she discovered, was the more she wrote, the more the music streamed in. 'Oh, it would be sort of nice if I didn't have music and lyrics somewhat relentlessly running through my head, but I do. The only peace I find is making these little songs. So, it wasn't a case of, 'And today I want to be a star so I will reinvent myself and write an album.' That was not the goal, it was simply capture the sounds I heard, and write them to bring peace to my head and heart." "How I write varies. Really, I just have a knack for melodies, and lyrics incessantly run through my head." In 2007, she decided to find another producer, but found herself playing the waiting game. "I think for a lot of producers in L.A., if you, the artist, are not seventeen with a voice like an American Idol contestant and cash cow potential, they aren't interested. It was about that time that I came across more people trying to dissuade me than give encouragement. Everyone has their own ideas of what one should do, how they should behave, and how things should be. But, I feel those are unnecessary constraints. If I wasn't supposed to make music, why were the angels whispering songs to me in my sleep? That was my core belief. Giving up due to ney sayers was not an option." In the interim, she began to develop some of her songs with drummer, Bobby Breton. Soon, she was recommended to Producer, Andrew Bush. "We developed 14 of my tracks, bringing in some of L.A.'s leading session's musicians to record foundational instrumentation. I was slightly naïve about costs and protocol, and suddenly found myself the executive producer and sole financier of my project. Then, I didn't really care for the direction many of the songs were heading in, so I dropped about half of them. Of the ones I kept, only a few remained in the form that we recorded them in. I simply couldn't let go of where I wanted them to go. Nonetheless, Andrew Bush is incredibly knowledgeable, talented and a really nice guy. I enjoyed working with him." She chose to move on, rethinking the direction of her songs. "I recorded the quirky Mad as a Hatter parts of the chorus, wrote some other instrumental lines, set up my studio with the right equipment and recorded most all the vocals for the album." Then, Kieran met Dennis Moody, who recorded a few free form versions of her songs, "Catch Me, and Tear Me Down. I will probably release them at some point. Ian Walker, Danny Frankel and Aaron Embry and I did a live recording of those two, and then The Future Inside, which made it to the album." Soon, she landed at the doorstep of Patrick Warren. "He is the most talented and unassuming person I've ever met. He added to the songs, without trying to change them to a certain form or style. He just encouraged me to keep it fun. I remember wanting a snare part at the Top of Tear Me Down, so I drummed the pattern on my lap. Well, we didn't have any drums set up, but we did have his kitchen with wooden spoons. It was pretty funny. It's exactly that freedom of experimentation that you need when creating." This album is intimate, personal, and the kaleidoscopic images that come to mind make it eccentrically offbeat yet completely consuming, drudging the bottom of internal emotions, only to lift us back up to a point of inspiration (as evidenced in songs such as Rise Up). "Okay, yeah, so I've had a few rough patches in life. But, I try everyday to be a good person and to improve, to help others, and to connect with this great universe. If things go south, I try to remind myself and others that north is just a shift-of-the-gaze away." By - Maria Allen Nottingham, UK.

    Bring 'Em Back!
    Anyone who has ever felt it..... knows exactly what I mean. The rush...that instant LOVE of the Big Band Sound. The feeling that they are it. Big Bands are IT!!! Whatever style of music they play, and they play them all, here's nothing quite like hearing that SOUND - for the very first time, or the second, or the third.... There's a name for this condition. "It's not phlebitis. It's not cellulitis. It's not tendonitis. It's BIG BANDITIS!" (lol) It was first drummed into me by Buddy Rich, and then transmitted to me via mental osmosis by Woody Herman. I couldn't have asked for two better, or more diverse teachers. Big band life is a culture, a lifestyle, a headspace, especially when you're on the road. The road.....there's nothing like it....... anywhere. There has, of course, been reams of prose written about big bands. But there is a paucity of songs with lyrics that espouse the virtues of big bands and their music. This is especially true in styles of music one would not usually associate with big bands. You will find some here. These two CD's contain songs by big bands, songs about big bands, songs by and about big bands....... and more. Many of them were written for the big band musical "Bring 'Em Back!"
