    Hunting Kat , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 158min
    As a mercenary, Kat Darah doesn't have to pass for a normal human. On the edge of the solar system, she's just another biped. Most of the time. Nearing the end of his military tour, Lt. Christopher Rygard debates the idea of hanging up his uniform for good. Looking for answers at the bottom of a glass of scotch, he meets Kat. One shared night of mutual desire seems harmless. But when their tryst is interrupted by attackers hunting Rygard, Kat must reveal her other form, the predator beneath the human facade. Together they embark on a dangerous mission - a race against time to meet the enemy's demands, while trying to deny the passion between them. Rygard is faced with a terrible choice in the face of duty: Report the existence of a human turned shape-shifter. Or forget he ever met her. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rachel Butera.

    13th Child: Jersey Devil, Hörbuch, Digital, 59min
    The Jersey Devil is a legendary creature said to inhabit the Pine Barrens of South New Jersey. The Devil is often described as a flying biped with hooves, but there have been several variations encountered by many eyewitnesses over the last 300 years. In 1735, a woman known as Mother Leeds gave birth to her 13th child on a stormy night surrounded by friends (who some claim were witches) who exclaimed "May it be the Devil." The baby appeared normal at birth, but changed into a monster shortly thereafter, growling and shrieking before killing the midwife and then flying up the chimney. It was later seen circling the villages and disappearing into the pines. Take an in-depth look at New Jersey’s official “State Demon” from the myths to the facts with authors, experts, paranormal researchers, and reluctant eyewitnesses who have recently seen the creature. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Marro, Patricia A. Martinelli, Adan Maskery, Steven Cichoski, Laura Kaighn, Manny Mertis, Joan M. Chak.

    A Different Flesh , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 624min
    This novel by the New York Times best-selling "master of alternate history" explores an America reshaped by a twist in prehistoric evolution (Publishers Weekly).  What if mankind's "missing link", the apelike Homo erectus, had survived to dominate a North American continent where woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers still prowled while the more advanced Homo sapiens built their civilizations elsewhere? Now imagine that the Europeans arriving in the New World had chanced on these primitive creatures and seized the opportunity to establish a hierarchy in which the sapiens were masters and the "sims" were their slaves.   This is the premise that drives the incomparable Harry Turtledove's A Different Flesh. The acclaimed Hugo Award winner creates an alternate America that spans 300 years of invented history. From the Jamestown colonists' desperate hunt for a human infant kidnapped by a local sim tribe, to a late 18th-century contest between a newfangled steam-engine train and the popular hairy-elephant-pulled model, to the sim-rights activists' daring 1988 rescue of an unfortunate biped named Matt who's being used for animal experimentation, Turtledove turns our world inside out in a remarkable science-fiction masterwork that explores what it truly means to be human. ungekürzt.

    Fuzzy Nation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 439min
    In John Scalzi's re-imagining of H. Beam Piper's 1962 sci-fi classic Little Fuzzy, written with the full cooperation of the Piper Estate, Jack Holloway works alone for reasons he doesn't care to talk about. On the distant planet Zarathustra, Jack is content as an independent contractor for ZaraCorp, prospecting and surveying at his own pace. As for his past, that's not up for discussion. Then, in the wake of an accidental cliff collapse, Jack discovers a seam of unimaginably valuable jewels, to which he manages to lay legal claim just as ZaraCorp is cancelling their contract with him for his part in causing the collapse. Briefly in the catbird seat, legally speaking, Jack pressures ZaraCorp into recognizing his claim, and cuts them in as partners to help extract the wealth. But there's another wrinkle to ZaraCorp's relationship with the planet Zarathustra. Their entire legal right to exploit the verdant Earth-like planet, the basis of the wealth they derive from extracting its resources, is based on being able to certify to the authorities on Earth that Zarathustra is home to no sentient species. Then a small furry biped - trusting, appealing, and ridiculously cute - shows up at Jack's outback home. Followed by its family. As it dawns on Jack that despite their stature, these are people, he begins to suspect that ZaraCorp's claim to a planet's worth of wealth is very flimsy indeed and that ZaraCorp may stop at nothing to eliminate the fuzzys before their existence becomes more widely known. ungekürzt.

    My Life Among the Yeti , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 141min
    Tracking dogs were unable to find a scent and strangely refuse to track, at all. Still, Major Andrews continued to hike the area meticulously, crisscrossing the backpack discovery site in over 17 passes. A blood-covered parka belonging to Professor Ciccotti was suddenly found in the same area they had searched several times previously. One of the rangers told us, “It was like it had been tossed over a cliff to taunt the rescuers.” Several US Rangers under the command of Major Andrews fired shots up into the cliff at one point during the futile exploration. But the government denied the report of any shots ever being fired. However, the first interview of those brave soldiers probing for the missing professor stated, “A hairy biped suddenly appeared on the high cliff above us. He then threw a 200-pound boulder at an arching trajectory down at us.” Sargent Loftus added, “We were forced to fire upon the creature. Upon our recon team scaling the cliff face, all we discovered was blood and a few tuffs of hair from an unknown species.”The second interview stated, “No shots were fired. Nothing out of the ordinary was seen.” Nonetheless, the search team of professional special ops was shaken up by whatever it was that they didn’t shoot at.To add fuel to the conspiracy theory, the missing victim appears to have traveled a vast distance into a location which should be physically impossible to reach. Also, personal possessions of professor Ciccotti were located over two separate mountain ranges, as well as several creeks and rivers. How is this possible, and just what did he see before his untimely death?Judging from the many miles away that his hiking boot was found, there was no way he could have walked over this hellish terrain barefooted. He would’ve had to have traveled 57 miles over deep-packed, frozen snow in a motor vehicle-free zone. His rucksack and bound journals were eventually found 1,400 feet higher up than where he was last seen./ ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Will Carter.

    Taken by the Troll: A Rough First Anal Sex Monster Sex Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 18min, (USK 18)
    Brilliant scientist Maggie Forestt is on an expedition to find a prehistoric biped she believes to still be a living species. She's willing to do anything to make her name in the archeology world, but who would have thought she'd come face to face with the creature and that it would be interested in taking every one of her holes! Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity during a very rough paranormal sex encounter. It includes oral sex, deepthroat, first anal sex, rough sex, monster sex, and semen swallowing. It is intended for mature readers who will not be offended by paranormal fantasy sex. Here is a preview:"When a skeleton was unearthed a year prior, it was no more than forty years dead. Of course, most of the scientific community dismissed it as a deformed man, but I could see the parallels with ancient fossils. The fossil evidence for the existence of the troll was clear and undisputed, though most scientists believed it to be a failed offshoot of evolution, some kind of an intelligent and bipedal reptile that disappeared millions of years in the past. Not me. The new skeleton told me the species was still alive, and if I could prove it, the name Maggie Foresst would go down in history along with Schmerling, Fuhlrott, and Leakey. "I walked about thirty feet, and, exhausted, I rolled out my sleeping bag. I stripped my outer garments off so I wore only my white cotton t-shirt, and my white shorts. They were more like boxers than shorts, and it felt wonderful to be free of the bulky canvas that protected me in the jungle but stifled me in the protection of the cave. There was a dim glow from phosphorescent moss, and I could see the stalactites above me. Stretched out on the sleeping bag, I lay quietly and gradually faded off to sleep. I was restless, and my mind was filled with thoughts of the troll, of travelling lectures, of remaking the field of archeology in my image. I began to dream, f ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Perspectives on Long Term Rehabilitation: How I Achieved a Far Better Recovery from Spinal Cord Injury than Anyone Expected , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 256min
    After my first year of life I was walking. I used my biped facility to play baseball with great enthusiasm but little skill. I walked thousands of school hallways and campuses as a student, then teacher, principal, and superintendent. I walked out of Walpole (NH) Congregational Church with my new bride Lynn on my arm. I carried my baby daughter Emily. We walked through London's Piccadilly Circus, the Coliseum in Rome, the Eiffel Tower, Costa Rican Indian villages, Denali, Cozumel ruins and many Caribbean beaches. I hiked the Appalachian Trail with my wife, son, brother, niece, nephew, and lots of my students and summer campers. And Dad. I walked all over the New England and Arizona trails with Dad. In my 61st year of life I walked into the neurosurgery pre-op center at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. I removed my clothes and got into the hospital gown. I laid down on a gurney, never to walk normally again. In a few hours I awoke from unsuccessful surgery on an intradural melanotic schwannoma at T-11 (about the level of my navel) inside my spinal cord. I was able to use my legs only to wiggle my toes weakly and feebly press my foot down as if on an imaginary car accelerator pedal. In the ensuing five years, I progressed from riding a gurney to walking at about 1/3 normal speed for men of my age with a cane and total attention to my jerky barely balancing legs for distances of up to half a mile and durations up to 45 minutes. This book shares what I, with the many who helped me, did to make a far greater recovery than any physician or physical therapist expected. Some of my physical rehabilitation may have specific relevance only to those with physical disabilities. All of my mental rehabilitation will have relevance to everyone. I write this hoping to give all of you kind enough to listen to this book some valuable insights without your needing to experience paraplegia, like I did, to discover them. ungekürzt.
