Thisby Thestoop and the Black Mountain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 459min

In the absurd land of Nth, Thisby Thestoop can be found within the forlorn walls of Castle Grimstone, down the precarious steps of the Black Mountain dungeon, up to her nose in griffon toenails, gnoll spittle, and troll meat (to give to them, not made of them). When the prince and princess arrive for a Royal Inspection, the much too good-looking Princess Iphigenia winds up lost in the tunnels of the dungeon - without her guards, her staff, or her younger twin brother - and it's up to Thisby to guide the princess safely past the hoards of minotaurs, wyverns, ghouls, and who-knows-what-else that would love nothing more than to nosh the royal highness for dinner. Thisby Thestoop and Princess Iphigenia have a dangerous adventure ahead of them. If they're going to a rescue the missing prince, stop a mounting war, and keep safe all the creatures who call the mountain dungeon home, they'll have to learn how to trust each other.

Project Seven Alpha: American Airlines in Burma 1942 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 464min
In late 1941, President Roosevelt agonized over the rapid advances of the Japanese forces in Asia. They seemed unstoppable. He foresaw their intentions of taking India and linking up with the two other Axis powers, Germany and Italy, in an attempt to conquer the Eastern Hemisphere. US naval forces had been severely surprised and diminished in Pearl Harbor, and the army was outnumbered and ill prepared to take on the invading hoards. One of his few options was to form a defensive line on the eastern side of the Patkai and Himalayan ranges. There he could look for support from the Chinese and Burmese. It was to be the only defense against a Japanese invasion of India. To support and supply these troops, fighting in hostile jungle terrain where overland routes had been cut off, he desperately needed to set up an air supply from Eastern India. His problem was lack of aircraft and experienced pilots to fly the dangerous "Hump" over the world's highest mountains. Hence came Operation Seven Alpha, a plan to enlist the aircraft (DC-3s) and pilots (veterans of World War One) of American Airlines. This newly formed squadron would fly these medium-range aircraft in a series of long-distance hops across the Pacific and Southern Asia to the Assam Valley in India. They would then create and operate the vital supply route carrying arms, ammunition, and food eastward to the Allied bases and return with wounded personnel. This is the story of this little-known operation in the early days of the Burma campaign. This book is based on the true experiences of those who were involved and is a fitting tribute to the bravery and inventiveness of a band of men who answered their country's desperate call at the outset of the war against Japan in Asia. ungekürzt.

We All Need Love
I have put alot of time and love into these songs. I think you will notice that. Most of these songs have been seasoned over time and endured alot of Living. It seems that Life is not only about discovering Who we are but also Creating who we want TO BE. I think I have found out who it is I want to be in the years of writing and in the process of recording this CD. It appears to me in this World that there are basically two kinds of emotion- Fear and Love. Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards and harms. LOVE is the energy which Expands, Opens Up, Sends out, Stays, Reveals, Shares and Heals...Don't you Think 'We All Need Love' ?- Shop: odax
