  Killing the Devil , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min

  After you hear this story, you will understand you are responsible for your own darkness.  The Devil shows up when you look for him. If you don’t prickle and jag with him, you may never meet him. He only comes when you call him and when asked. People who stay put and stay quiet do not interest him. He feeds on fear, hate, and other negative emotions and finds a fertile ground whenever someone plants these seeds.  What is the deal with the Devil? In this audiobook, he is “harvesting” after an earthquake in which family members have been lost; he is a drop-in stranger impregnating a baby-starved mother, a pastor who fights his demons by seeing the Devil in his father’s face, reviving a love story from decades ago by threatening with an imminent lynch, and a celebrity who turns into an abusive nutjob.  However, Tex has originally destroyed his own life when he left Jessica, the only woman he loved. Is there a redemption for him? Well, once you start teasing the Devil... Killing the Devil: A Collection of Short Stories explores the journeys of three people as they confront evil in its various forms. Each must choose between the wicked and the good. Paul Michael Peters is the author of Insensible Loss, Mr. Memory and Other Stories of Wonder, The Symmetry of Snowflakes, and Peter in Flight.  ungekürzt.

  Rasputin's Bastards , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1384min

  They were the beautiful dreamers. From a hidden city deep in the Ural mountains, they walked the world as the coldest of Cold Warriors, under the command of the Kremlin and under the power of their own expansive minds. They slipped into the minds of Russia's enemies with diabolical ease, and drove their human puppets to murder, and worse. They moved as Gods. And as Gods, they might have remade the world. But like the mad holy man Rasputin, who destroyed Russia through his own powerful influence... in the end, the psychic spies for the Motherland were only in it for themselves.It is the 1990s. The Cold War is long finished. In a remote Labrador fishing village, an old woman known only as Babushka foresees her ending through the harbour ice, in the giant eye of a dying kraken–and vows to have none of it. Beaten insensible and cast adrift in a life raft, ex-KGB agent Alexei Kilodovich is dragged to the deck of a ship full of criminals, and with them he will embark on a journey that will change everything he knows about himself. And from a suite in an unseen hotel in the heart of Manhattan, an old warrior named Kolyokov sets out with an open heart, to gather together the youngest members of his immense, and immensely talented, family. They are more beautiful, and more terrible, than any who came before them. They are Rasputin's bastards. And they will remake the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ken Kliban.

  The Lighthouse of Alexandria: The History and Legacy of an Ancient Wonder of the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min

  Includes historic accounts that describe the lighthouse. Explains the debates over how the lighthouse was built and operated and how it was destroyed. "At the harbor of Alexandria stands the tower called Pharos, the first wonder. It is held together by glass and lead and is 600 yards high." (Epiphanius the Monk) "The Pharos today is composed of four stages. The first, of a rectangular design, is remarkably built in rectangular cut stones, of which the joints are so well concealed that the whole seems to be formed of a single block of stone, remaining insensible to the ravages of time." (Al Bakri, a medieval traveler and writer) Over 2,000 years ago, two ancient writers named Antipater of Sidon and Philo of Byzantium authored antiquity's most well-known tour guides. After the two Greeks had traveled around the Mediterranean, they wrote of what they considered to be the classical world's greatest construction projects. While there is still some question as to who actually authored the text attributed to Philo and when it was authored, their lists ended up comprising the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, igniting interest in the ones they chose and inspiring subsequent generations to identify their own era's Seven Wonders. The youngest of the wonders also turned out to be the most practical and one of the longest lived, surviving into the late Middle Ages. It was a lighthouse built on the northern coast of Egypt, in Africa, at the Greek city founded in Alexander's name. It was the Pharos, the Great Lighthouse of Alexandria. Among antiquity's wonders, the Lighthouse of Alexandria was fairly unique in terms of both its purpose and its secular nature. While pyramids and statues served religious purposes in Egypt and Greece, and others were impressive works of art, the origins of the lighthouse were not even as a lighthouse at all. ungekürzt.
