  The Code of Buddyhood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 612min

  Bobby Beresford and Mark Szasz, the self-appointed "Knights Templar of the Code of Buddyhood," are undergraduates at the University of Oklahoma in 1979. There couldn't be a more unlikely pair of best friends. Bobby's cautious, social ineptitude and romantic fumblings offset Mark's flamboyant, devil-may-care attitude, his irrepressible pranks, and his prowess with shapely coeds. But the cardinal rule of the Code - A buddy does not move in on another buddy's girl" - requires Bobby to watch quietly as Mark makes time with Annie, the woman of Bobby's dreams. Mark and Bobby's college exploits include crashing frat parties, arranging elaborate double dates (that, at least for Bobby, go disastrously and hilariously wrong), and shuttling a decomposing corpse across campus. But inevitably, the girl they both love becomes a wedge that divides the buddies not only during their college days, but well into the future... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jared Pike.

  Clump: An American Splatire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 680min

  Clump is a man with no known name, no known past and, most importantly, no head. The huge, heavily muscled giant lacks any awareness of the world around him but miraculously becomes the most popular entertainer in America. Clump's medical and media handlers must manage his skyrocketing career as a music video star and create a wholesome, family-friendly public image...while concealing the inconvenient fact that the headless man is homicidally dangerous when touched. A so-called "splatire" owing to the mix of razor-sharp comedy and graphic violence, Clump's satiric targets include the entertainment industry, medicine, journalism, corporate greed and ineptitude, politics, and a morally vacuous culture that increasingly and enthusiastically embraces the brainless. Stylistically, Clump is like a head-on collision between Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., and Chuck Palahniuk. It is not for the faint-hearted, the thin-skinned, or the unadventurous, but is an all-you-can stomach buffet for those who like their comedy dark and their social commentary barbed. ungekürzt.

  Politics & Bedfellows , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 542min

  Divorcee Glenda Nelson poured herself a cup of coffee, sat down at her kitchen table, and opened up the morning paper. That's when she found out her hand-picked Congressional candidate was caught climbing out of the window of the Sleepytown Motel. With her job as a political strategist on the line, she must put together a damage control plan, and do it fast. After a multi-year hiatus, Glenda's love life is finally on the rebound when she meets handsome Christopher Goodwich, a successful artist with oodles of old money. But what will Chris think after witnessing one of her meltdowns? Will his fame and fortune only serve to magnify Glenda's ineptitude? And sometimes she just can't stop wondering why she stayed so long with her philandering ex-husband, or how her sister's marriage has been so apparently picture-perfect. While uncovering the secrets behind a political scandal, Glenda finds love, and makes the long trek back to happy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eve Passeltiner.

  Add, Subtract, Multiply & Divide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min

  Be the assertion true, that insanity is the expecting of a different result; while perpetuating the same ideologies and behavior patterns, then insanity is the plight of black Americans, as well as those charged with their education and liberation. This form of insanity is marked by illiteracy, decadent neighborhoods, spiritual ineptitude and social and financial insufficiency. It is the chains that have been passed down from generation to generation irrespective of the Emancipation Proclamation. It is the reason we gain education, yet not the power to positively alter the circumstances of our people en masse. It is the reason we claim spiritual fortitude, but have no relative impact on our surroundings. It is the reason that you can find entire neighborhoods in black communities where the people who live there own only 0-5% of the businesses and real estate of the community. It is what makes us vulnerable to the designs of spiritual predators and silver tongued politicians. It is the total darkness on which Austin so articulately pens. It is evolving and compounding. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Edgar Myers. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/050145/bk_acx0_050145_sample.mp3.

  Even More Ketchup Than Salsa: The Final Dollop , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 378min

  Sequel to the award-winning More Ketchup Than Salsa: Confessions of a Tenerife Barman. A must-have reality check for anybody who has ever pondered a move to sunnier climes. If the first six months of running the Smugglers Tavern had been a baptism of fire, the subsequent years were about as much fun as bobbing for apples in a vat of acid. Having swapped the tin roof of a cold British fish market for the sunny skies of a Spanish holiday island, Joe and Joy succeeded in thwarting the first wave of attacks from bungling bureaucrats, bewildered holidaymakers, and their own spectacular ineptitude. What they didn't realize was that their enemies were regrouping. Not only that, but those enemies had made camp a lot closer to home, enemies that would make their encounters with the exploding gas bottles, East European squatters, and big-time Charlies featured in the first book, More Ketchup Than Salsa, seem like chapters from Enid Blyton. The trials and tribulations of attempting to make a better life abroad continue...with disastrous consequences. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicholas Camm.

  Executed Unjustly: True Stories of People Executed Wrongfully, Or Were They? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 129min

  Executed Unjustly: True Stories of People Executed Wrongfully, or Were They? recounts the true stories of people who were accused, convicted, and executed for crimes. Some of them were later officially exonerated for the crimes, and for others the preponderance of evidence today shows they were executed wrongfully, though they were never officially found innocent. The cases occurred in the United States, and it will be shown that our judicial system doesn't always result in fair decisions. It seems unimaginable to most of us that totally innocent people would actually lose their lives due to fear, social inequality, legal ineptitude, and downright criminal acts by those who promised to uphold the law. Some of the cases included are: Josefa Rodriguez - the only woman legally hanged in Texas Joe Arridy - a man with the mind of a six year old Leo Alexander Jones - a series of blunders and errors signed his death warrant Carlos DeLuna - a case of mistaken identity Be prepared to be shocked at the details of these cases and the tragic reasons and ways the innocent died. ungekürzt.

  Getting There , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min

  When Sue Williams set out on a 10-year series of journeys around the world, she expected glamour, excitement, a leisurely education. She simply didn't bargain for disaster, spine-tingling terror, and the kind of mind-numbing embarrassment that confronted her at nearly every turn. In fact, if she'd known she would wake up naked inside a sleeping bag, with all her belongings vanished, on a patch of wasteland in Central African Republic; get lost on a dark mountain top in Malawi; be stalked by a wife-hungry politician in Mexico; hitch 1000 kilometers in the wrong direction in Argentina; and discover, too late, she'd just eaten dog stew in China, she would have never left home in the first place! Getting There is the hilarious, terrifying and, most of all, inspiring account of Sue's travels across the globe over 20 years. It isn't about destinations or pleasant arrivals, but journeys and the battle to get there, fuelled by curiosity, faith in humanity, naivety, and even extraordinary ineptitude - the tales of the true traveler. ungekürzt.

  Wall of Silence: The Untold Story of the Medical Mistakes That Kill and Injure Millions of Americans , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min

  Up to 100,000 Americans die each year as a result of some form of medical mistake. And this is just the reported number of deaths. The total number of deaths and other disabilities is estimated to be triple (or more) of what's actually reported. This book takes you behind the scenes to expose heartbreaking stories of medical malpractice, careless misdiagnosis, and downright neglect on the part of health-care personnel across the country. Victims are young and old, healthy and infirm, who innocently entrusted their lives to those who took an oath to "do no harm". Yet doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, and other medical professionals cover up mistakes every day. This is the complete story of the breadth and depth of medical mistakes. Gibson puts real names and faces to the countless that suffer and die every day because of ineptitude, poor quality, and lack of management in a system that is badly broken. Doctors and nurses also provide first-hand accounts of what actually goes on behind the curtains, describing the mistakes that do happen, but also how terrifyingly close every practitioner is, every moment, to disaster. ungekürzt.

  To Save Two Worlds: Is Twice as Much Fun: Worlds Akilter, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 522min

  Kale has never quite fit in with his own people. Born with an uncanny ability to sense things beyond the physical, the anxiety caused by that unbalanced power drives him to do odd things that interfere with his everyday life.

Through various, comical and daunting scenarios, he has to survive such hazards as the feet of giant earthlings, the ineptitude of a mage with a short attention span, the fury of a female's wrath, a soul devouring parrot, and worst of all; crazy cat ladies. One of those human hazards goes by the name of Amiah. While out at a LARP (Live Action Role Play) game, she comes across the lidra. She decides to capture them as nicely as she can so she can learn more about them. She has always wanted to be involved in something beyond the reality she has grown up in.

  Skinny Dip, Hörbuch, Digital, 294min

  Chaz Perrone might be the only marine scientist in the world who doesn’t know which way the Gulf Stream runs. He might also be the only one who went into biology just to make a killing, and now he’s found a way - doctoring water samples so that a ruthless agribusiness tycoon can continue illegally dumping fertilizer into the endangered Everglades. When Chaz suspects that his wife, Joey, has figured out his scam, he pushes her overboard from a cruise liner into the night-dark Atlantic. Unfortunately for Chaz, his wife doesn’t die in the fall. Clinging blindly to a bale of Jamaican pot, Joey Perrone is plucked from the ocean by former cop and current loner Mick Stranahan. Instead of rushing to the police and reporting her husband’s crime, Joey decides to stay dead and (with Mick’s help) screw with Chaz until he screws himself.As Joey haunts and taunts her homicidal husband, as Chaz’s cold-blooded cohorts in pollution grow uneasy about his ineptitude and increasingly erratic behavior, as Mick Stranahan discovers that six failed marriages and years of island solitude haven’t killed the reckless romantic in him, we’re taken on a hilarious, full-throttle, pure Hiaasen ride through the warped politics and mayhem of the human environment, and the human heart.
