Red Planet Blues , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 691min

Robert J. Sawyer, the author of such "revelatory and thought-provoking" novels as Triggers and The WWW Trilogy, presents a noir mystery expanded from his Hugo and Nebula Award-nominated novella "Identity Theft” and his Aurora Award-winning short story “Biding Time”, and set on a lawless Mars in a future where everything is cheap, and life is even cheaper.... Alex Lomax is the one and only private eye working the mean streets of New Klondike, the Martian frontier town that sprang up 40 years ago after Simon Weingarten and Denny O’Reilly discovered fossils on the Red Planet. Back on Earth, where anything can be synthesized, the remains of alien life are the most valuable of all collectibles, so shiploads of desperate treasure hunters stampeded to Mars in the Great Martian Fossil Rush. Trying to make an honest buck in a dishonest world, Lomax tracks down killers and kidnappers among the failed prospectors, corrupt cops, and a growing population of transfers - lucky stiffs who, after striking paleontological gold, upload their minds into immortal android bodies. But when he uncovers clues to solving the decades-old murders of Weingarten and O’Reilly, along with a journal that may lead to their legendary mother lode of Martian fossils, God only knows what he’ll dig up.... ungekürzt.

Buried Alive , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

Charlie Edwards worked many years at his father's funeral parlor, but Charlie was getting pretty bored talking to the dead every day and not getting any response. So one day he decided he would pick up someone at the local pub, put something in their drink, and drive them back to the funeral parlor. Then he would place them in a casket with a glass top so he could see their face and talk to them. When his drugged victims woke up, they weren't too happy to be hanging out at the Edwards Funeral Parlor as Charlie Edwards' entertainment. Charlie didn't care what they thought because being able to talk to a live person meant everything to him. Charlie would always get the same response from the people he drugged. They would plead for Charlie to let them go. Some would offer him money - you name it - but that wasn't his intention. Charlie was just lonely and sick and tired of talking to a bunch of stiffs. Charlie would try to console the person he held captive, but that was no use. Charlie decided if they didn't cooperate he would take them out back to the cemetery and bury them alive for not cooperating. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Jude Ricciardi.

One Good Reason: A Boston Love Story, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min

Zoe Bloom has her life figured out. After a childhood spent begging for scraps on Boston street corners, she's clawed her way to a successful career and a safe place to call home. She knows exactly what she needs to survive - a bit of money in the bank, a roof over her head, food on the table. Friends and family are a luxury she can't afford. And forget about frivolous romantic entanglements. She can barely juggle her own problems; she certainly doesn't have time to handle anyone else's crap. Parker West has spent his life running. From responsibility. From obligation. From the corporate CEO position he's always been expected to take over. He'd rather climb Kilimanjaro than sit in a board meeting with stiffs in suits. When a crisis at the family company forces him to return to Boston, he has no choice but to stop chasing adventures - temporarily. As soon as things are back in order, he fully intends to sail off into the sunset.... Until he locks eyes with a mysterious blonde who screams trouble and sets his senses on fire. For the first time in his life, Parker doesn't want to run. In fact, when it comes to Zoe, he may want to do something he's never done before: stay. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Big Wheat: A Tale of Bindlestiffs and Blood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min

The summer of 1919 is now over, and on the high prairie, a small army of men, women, and machines moves across the land, harvesting the wheat. Custom threshers, steam engineers, bindle stiffs, cooks, camp followers, and hobos join the tide. Prosperous farmers proudly proclaim “Rain follows the plow,” meaning that the bounty of the land will never be exhausted. Wheat is king as people gleefully embrace the gospels of bounty and progress. But with the wheat comes a serial killer who calls himself the Windmill Man and who believes he has a holy calling to water the newly plucked earth with blood. For him, the mobile harvest provides a target-rich environment, an endless supply of ready victims. He has been killing for years now and intends to kill for many more. Who could stop him? Nobody even knows he exists. A young man named Charlie Krueger also follows the harvest. Jilted by his childhood sweetheart and estranged from his drunkard father, Charlie hopes to find a new life as a steam engineer. But in a newly harvested field in the nearly black Dakota night, he has come upon a strange man digging a grave. And in that moment, Charlie becomes the only person who has seen the face of a killer, the only person who can stop him - if he lives long enough. The sheriff is after Charlie for murdering the Windmill Man’s latest victim, and the Windmill man has learned his name and has begun to track Charlie. Richard A. Thompson is a former civil engineer and construction manager who traded his hard hat for a laptop and now writes full time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Kenerly.

The Stuck with a Series Boxed Set #1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 359min

This four-book set includes.... Stuck with a Schmuck (The Stuck with a Series Prequel) What if you're stuck with a schmuck on Cupid's big day? Stuck with a Stiff The Stuck with a Series is Castle and Beckett gone-country with The Mom Squad, Betty Boop and My Cousin Vinny in the barnyard. But this ain't no ordinary barnyard. There's a lot more than a crazy rooster missing from the chicken coop, a bad ass cow causing a bunch of trouble and a dog looking like a creature out of a storybook. There's a stiff too. A stiff - as in a dead guy - in a snow drift near the chicken coop. Things aren't lookin' too good for Nicky Blane, who owns the farm. He's used to creating fictional stiffs for his best-selling novels, not defending himself from being framed for murder. Stuck with a Spell For Stuck with a Spell - Book 2 in the Series - there's a bit of Bewitched tossed into the mix. Think hex an ex. Nicky Blane, a best-selling author and farmer-in-the-making, doesn't need to look far to find creative inspiration for his novels. His crazy-ass Aunt Liza, a wanna-be witch, lives next door. But this time, she's blown it big-time with a hex on her ex that's gone a wee bit awry. Think graveyards and Voodoo dolls, spell-casting and cauldrons, potions, raw emotions, and more. Stuck with Sleigh Bells What if Santa had a double knee replacement and had to put his BFF Father Time and The Mom Squad's Grams in charge of The Big Red Ride? For Stuck with Sleigh Bells - Book 3 of the Stuck with a Series - and the series' first holiday novella - think Castle and Beckett, The Good Witch and Maxine in Whoville. ungekürzt.
