    The Anti-Lincoln: President Obama and the Politics of Division , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 276min
    My war with the PIGS (Progressive Identity Groups): America has been divided by a disingenuous death cult known as Progressivism and its primary weapon: the Mob. The Progressives use aggressive identity politics to divide and conquer those they seek to rule over. They acquire power by convincing, coercing, or brainwashing individuals into renouncing personal liberty in favor of group rights. Entitlement replaces merit as a path to a better life. The sheeple are taught to seek answers from experts and to scapegoat those who don't adhere to the manufactured consensus. This has been accomplished by contaminating the general public's understanding of individuality and its relationship to the collective. The Progressive ethos was perhaps best stated by Benito Mussolini when he said that "everything is in the State, and nothing human or spiritual exists, much less has value, outside the State". This book is dedicated to exposing the herd mentality of the institutional Left. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Wayne Hamelin.

    The Dhamma Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min
    Siddharth Gautam, prince of Kapilavastu and heir to the throne, has everything. Yet he is dissatisfied. The fundamental problem of suffering, dukkha, bothers him. He leaves home, renouncing crown and family, and becomes a wandering seeker. Siddharth finds gurus to guide him, practices extreme asceticism at one point nearly starving himself to death and then rejects everything, for the knowledge he seeks constantly eludes him. He then meditates, and one epiphanic night, enlightenment comes to him, the startling insight into the human condition which makes him the Buddha. The Dhamma Man explores, sensitively and with great objectivity, Buddha as man as son, husband and father. And even as Sarang tries to understand the effect Siddharth's renunciation of the world had on his family, he celebrates Buddha, who not only launched a religion but has continued relevance today, more than two millennia after his death. Richly imagined and refreshingly original, The Dhamma Man is a whole new way to read the story of Buddha. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Samrat Charabarti.

    Blacklisted, Hörbuch, Digital, 174min
    Listen to six half-hour dramas about one of the darkest periods for the First Amendment in American history: the Hollywood blacklist. From 1947 until his death in 1962, screenwriter Gordon Kahn, father of series producer Tony Kahn, was the target of harassment by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), denunciations by neighbors and "friends," and surveillance by the FBI and its chief, J. Edgar Hoover. Kahn could have ended the ordeal by renouncing his leftist views and giving the investigators the names of others to be questioned. Blacklisted tells the story of Gordon Kahn's 15 years of persecution and the fear that followed him, his family, and thousands of other Americans for having - or being accused of having - "the wrong political ideas."All of Kahn's words, and those of his wife Barbara, are drawn from their writings, diaries, and letters. All of Hoover's remarks come from the confidential memos and remarks in the 3,000-page surveillance file he kept on Gordon Kahn from 1944-1962. Language: English. Narrator: Tony Kahn, Rob Leibman, Stockard Channing, Carrol O'Connor. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/kahn/000001a/rt_kahn_000001a_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Red Falcons of Tremoine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 299min
    Fifteen-year-old Leo is an orphan being raised in an abbey in the days of King Richard the Lionhearted. He knows nothing of his parentage and has little hope for a future outside the familiar but sometimes restrictive monastery walls. Under the firm and loving hand of Abbot Michael, Leo has been well trained in piety, obedience, and courtesy, and has begun to master a strong will and quick anger. Nevertheless, he is restless, longing to go out into the world for a time before renouncing it forever. Abbot Michael alone knows Leo's story and family line and unexpectedly, when the heir to the house of Wardlock is killed in the Crusades, he sets in motion events in which Leo will need every scrap of wisdom and endurance gained in the years at the abbey. For he is not only heir to Wardlock, but also to its rival the house of Trémoine! Vividly set in the deeply pious and violently turbulent 12th-century England, this authentic and stirring tale of suffering and courage shows a boy who, to claim his heritage, must first see it transformed by the power of love and forgiveness. ungekürzt.

    A Went over Case , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 582min
    Former classics professor Bertrand McAbee, now a PI in Iowa, has been fated to handle difficult cases. A tortuously written note requesting his presence in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has been delivered. And from there A Went over Case ignites. Ostensibly, Francis McNulty was born on third base - wealth and brains in abundance. But startlingly, in 1984 he channels the renowned medieval Saint Francis of Assisi by renouncing the material world in favor of a life of extreme poverty and religious devotion. Mysteriously, he disappears in 1987 and is never heard from again, presumed dead by almost everyone. Now his repentant and megarich brother, dying from ALS, pleads with McAbee to come at the matter with fresh eyes. A simple case of disappearance? Or does something sinister and vicious lie underneath this event from all those years back? The story of a man who "went over" to Francis of Assisi will test McAbee's skills as problems around Francis McNulty become increasingly complex and ultimately quite dangerous. The ACJ Agency operatives - Augusta Satin, Barry Fisk, Pat Trump, and Jack Scholz - will all be needed to assist McAbee in his efforts to clear up this case. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Sing the Four Quarters: Quarters, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 953min
    The Bards of Shkoder hold the country together. They, and the elemental spirits they Sing - earth, air, fire, and water - bring the news of the sea to the mountains, news of the mountains to the plains. They give their people, from peasant to king, a song in common. Annice is a rare talent, able to Sing all four quarters, but her brother, the newly enthroned King Theron, sees her request to study at the Bardic Hall as a betrayal. To his surprise, Annice accepts his conditions, renouncing her royal blood and swearing to remain childless so as not to jeopardize the line of succession. She walks away from political responsibilities, royal privilege and her family. Ten years later, Annice has become the Princess Bard and her real life is about to become the exact opposite of the overwrought ballad her fellow students at the Bardic Hall wrote about her. Now, she's on the run from the Royal Guards with the Duc of Ohrid, the father of her unborn child, both of them guilty of treason - one of them unjustly accused. To save the Duc's life, they'll have to cross the country, manage to keep from strangling each other, and defeat an enemy too damaged for even a Bard's song to reach. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Cursed.... England of the Norman Conquest, 1068: Two years have passed since the Battle of Hastings changed the course of a nation. As the defeated Saxons continue to chafe against the yoke of Norman rule, Rhiannyn of Etcheverry finds herself at the center of a rebellion when the conqueror she refuses to wed dies in her arms - cursing her to never know the love of a man or the blessing of children. Certain only her silence can save her people from retaliation, she holds close the dark truth about his death. But when his avenging brother saves her life, she discovers another side to the celebrated warrior of Hastings - one that will test her loyalties and beliefs - and expose the innocent heart beneath her Saxon pride. Unforgiven.... Renouncing his holy vows, Maxen Pendery pledges to discover who murdered his brother - even at the cost of the soul he has wrestled to save since thrusting his sword in the blood-soaked soil of Hastings and walking away. But when Rhiannyn of Etcheverry is at his mercy, she continues to protect the rebel leader to whom she was once betrothed. Though breathtakingly lovely, she refuses to use her wiles against Maxen, instead disarming him with her sharp tongue, strong will, and a selflessness that unexpectedly stirs his ignoble heart. Might the cursed beauty be the death of him? Or, could she prove his redemption? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mary Sarah Agliotta.
