Taliaschild: Beyond Fairytales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 138min

Six years after the mysterious talisman brought Queen Vina to Talia, it chooses a new owner in Sonna, a child of the streets. Unprotected by her amputee father and beaten by her mother for failing to bring home scraps for the family to eat, Sonna runs into the self-assured Kira, daughter and heir to Vina's queendom. Weary of endless rules and duties involved in training to become the future queen, Kira leaps at the chance to escape with a new friend. When she places the priceless talisman around Sonna's neck, neither can remove the jewelry. Alarmed at Kira losing the talisman's protection, Vina and Talia take drastic steps to protect the princess. In the process, the entire earth descends into chaos. Five years later, 19-year-old Sonna forages for two-day-old fish heads while dodging street pimps. The talisman leads her to the mysterious Nicodemus, who offers one command: "Go to Kira. She needs you." Baffled, Sonna embarks on her journey. What can a pauper offer a spoiled princess? Will the street child end up surprising them all? ungekürzt. Language: English.

Burning Skillet: Southern Fried Infrastructure (Grid Down Prepper Up, Book 2) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 267min

The latest turn of events in this grim post-apocalyptic world of desperate survivors struggling to rebuild after a devastating North Korea infrastructure attack takes new turns as skills in bartering and scavenging come to the forefront. The grid is down and electric bikes are the transportation of choice for the coming apocalypse, but where do you find one in this deserted beach town? The prepper couple forages for food and other supplies in the looted-out vacation spot and lucks up on a restaurant supply truck. A small group of people still living at the marina seems to hold the key to reforming society but closely guards its secrets and turf against strangers. Food procurement, barter, and trade are highly competitive now, as well as dangerous, as other survivors vie for the right to exist. It was hard living at the fish camp they had been living at for the last six months inland from the coast, and this trip to town offers new possibilities, as well as risks, as starvation drives them to seek new resources. This audiobook is full of survival tips and tricks the reader can put to use in any environment. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: T. David Rutherford.

It's Only Slow Food Until You Try to Eat It: Misadventures of a Suburban Hunter-Gatherer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 566min

A longtime contributor to Field and Stream, Bill Heavey knew more than a little about hunting and fishing when he embarked on an ambitious project a few years ago to see how far he could get eating wild. But Heavey knew next to nothing about gardening or foraging, and he lives in northern Virginia, close to Washington, D.C. The rural wilds, this was not. Is it any surprise that his tasty triumphs were equaled by his hilarious misadventures? With just the right dose of self-deprecation, Heavey tells the story of his quest, beginning locally and moving out from there. He digs up the ground behind his house and plants an elaborate garden only to be driven to squirrel murder (and a cover-up). He experiences abundance mania in the perch run on the Potomac, and again when he spots perfect wild mushrooms in Arlington National Cemetery. He forages for wild watercress, berries, and pawpaws within the beltway, and hunts crayfish in Louisiana and caribou on the Alaskan tundra. With teachers that include Paula, a grizzled local so popular among DC fishers that she’s been called the Pablo Escobar of herring; Hue, a Bronze Star ex-military survival instructor and foraging expert; Michelle, a single mother unself-consciously devoted to eating local, and Jody, a weathered Cajun fisherman, Bill learns how to catch and cook frogs, prepare cattail pancakes, make salads out of garden weeds and bake a pie with foraged wild cherries. To the delight of his readers and to his young daughter’s despair, Heavey also suffers serious blood loss, humiliation, and meals that are best described as edible. Entertaining and informative, this is Bill Heavey at his best...and worst. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Heavey.

Others are new to listeners. Law forages for wild plants and fish to sell to elf enclaves. A social misfit, she drives a 100-year-old Dodge, has a pet porcupine, and saves damsels in distress in her spare time. A mysterious phone call sets her on a collision course with danger, as she races to save a young female elf. Jane Kryskill is the producer for the popular TV series Pittsburgh Backyard and Garden. She spends her days keeping her host, Hal Rogers, from getting himself killed as he takes on man-eating plants.
