    The Econocracy: On the Perils of Leaving Economics to the Experts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 416min
    Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Econocracy by Joe Earle, Cahal Moran and Zach Ward-Perkins, read by Jonathan Keeble. A century ago, the idea of 'the economy' didn't exist. Now economics is the supreme ideology of our time, with its own rules and language. The trouble is most of us can't speak it. This is damaging democracy. Dangerous agendas are hidden inside mathematical wrappers; controversial policies are presented as 'proven' by the models of economic 'science'. Government is being turned over to a publicly unaccountable technocratic elite. The Econocracy reveals that economics is too important to be left to the economists - and shows us how we can begin to participate more fully in the decisions which affect all our futures. ungekürzt.

    Editing Emma: The Secret Blog of a Nearly Proper Person , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 459min
    Move over, Georgia Nicolson. Say goodbye to Geek Girl. Meet Emma Nash. When 16-year-old Emma is ghosted by love of her life Leon Naylor, she does what any normal girl would do. She spends the entire summer lurking in her bedroom, avoiding all human contact (and the shower), surrounded by the collection of Chewits wrappers she saved from packs Leon gave her, back when he actually acknowledged her existence.... But seeing Leon suddenly 'in a relationship' on Facebook with the perfect Anna spurs Emma into action, and she embarks on a mission to make positive changes to her life (or 'edits', if you will), vowing to use the Internet for more than obsessively stalking Leon's activities! Instead she will use it for good and noble causes like finding someone who will actually be nice to her and recording her findings for the rest of the world to see (i.e., BFF Steph and her mum) on her new Editing Emma blog. But Emma soon discovers her habit is harder to break than she first thought - turns out she's not the only one editing herself online (thank you, Tinder, for finding her mum's profile - age 35, really?) and that life through an Instagram filter isn't always what it's cracked up to be. But it could be worse: she could have outed her best friend, accidentally chatted up a 12-year-old boy and revealed to the world why Leon Naylor is worth no girl's time or virginity.... Oh no, wait, that's exactly what happened.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlie Sanderson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hcuk/003012/bk_hcuk_003012_sample.mp3.

    Jewell: The Kings of Guardian, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min
    Obsessive. Toxic. Ice Princess. Witch. Jewell King ignored the epithets slung at her behind her back. Hell, after six, or was it seven, personal security officers asked to be reassigned rather than continue to guard her 24/7, maybe she deserved the names. She didn't care. Good riddance. Well...the last one had kinda weaseled his way into her daily routine with his compulsive cleaning and insistence on health foods. When he left, she noticed and was...hurt. But that didn't matter. She had no time for emotions. Handling the information and data systems for Guardian required 28 hour days and triple her current staff. On her shoulders rested the weight of defending Guardian against a brilliant hacker determined to take down all billionaire David Xavier had built and destroy her family in the process. He'd tried before. She had frustrated his first attempt by the slimmest of margins. This time he’d made it personal and he just might succeed.Zane Reynolds waded through several weeks’ worth of empty energy drink cans, cast off candy wrappers, and stale pizza boxes, and viewed Jewell's office with a resigned sense of deja vu. He was back - against his will and despite his best efforts to stay as far away from Jewell as he could get. The fact she hated him would make Jewell a difficult assignment. He should walk away like all the others, except he couldn’t. He’d seen through the woman’s veneer and had witnessed the true kindness of the person hiding under the beautiful, yet caustic façade. This time, Zane had non-negotiable conditions before he'd agree to return as Jewell King's personal security, and he told the CEO of Guardian as much. This time, he was doing things his way.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Haynes. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/192232/bk_acx0_192232_sample.mp3.

    Tourists of the Apocalypse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 747min
    Award Winner in the 2016 Readers Favorite International Book Contest and the 2016 Shelf Media Best Indie Contest Dylan Townsend stands on the beach watching commercial jets fall out of the sky like oak leaves twirling in the wind. A wing shears off the one closest to the shore just before it splashes down in the sea. Why was she telling him this outlandish story? What sort of tourist agency would offer people a front row seat to the end of the world? More importantly, why would anyone book such a vacation if there wasn't any way home afterward? "Why would anyone buy a ticket on the Titanic if they knew it was doomed?" "Relax Dylan," she assures him. "If you know it's going to sink, you could bring a raft." As she paces in the sand watching the sky, he realizes that however wild her story may be, he loves her. Maybe Izzy is a time travel tour guide after all. In truth, he is more likely to be harmed by her boyfriend than the imminent apocalypse. What's he going to do about that sticky situation? "Come on," she orders, pulling on his arm. "We need to see a man about a raft." Disclaimer: This novel contains no profanity, some violence, an office princess in bondage, cowboy coffee, classic cars, love triangles, domestic violence, birthday cake, Lion Country Safari mishaps, beach volleyball, road rage, a prosthetic shotgun, text messages on gum wrappers, and the strong belief that people are a product of their experiences and not just genetically predisposed to mayhem.
