    The Gauntlet Assassin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 455min
    Each year, a down-and-out America looks to the Gauntlet games for sheer spectacle and - for one lucky state - a better chance at survival. In 2023, former-police-detective-turned-paramedic Lara Evans is poised to enter the punishing endurance competition, determined to bring glory and a major economic boost back home to Oregon. But treacherous tests of physical and mental prowess - and a pack of cutthroat rivals - are far from the greatest obstacles Lara faces. Saving a hit man’s victim has made her a target, and the murder of a fellow contestant has branded her a suspect. Yet the games must go on. And with a nation’s eyes - and a killer’s crosshairs - focused on her every move, Lara will have to think faster, hit harder, and risk far more than any player ever has in order to outrun the jaws of defeat and outgun the specter of death. ungekürzt.

    Car Talk, Lugnut: 1, Man: 0, November 24, 2007, Hörbuch, Digital, 54min
    We're in the holiday spirit, and there are several reasons to be thankful. For starters, you probably haven't spent the last couple of weeks trying to get a lug nut off your Lincoln. And even if you have, you probably didn't resort to ballistics. Hear what happens when an armed and exceptionally frustrated shade tree mechanic finally loses his cool. If that's not enough, give thanks that you're not our poor hosts being forced to play Stump the Chumps with a contestant who may have led them astray with the word, "thunk". Need more? We've got David, whose wiper blades are so far off, they're cleaning his neighbor's car. Then there's Evelyn, who's about to be labeled "Clutch Killer", and, Laura, whose tranny is probably gonna be covering some lucky mechanic's boat payments all next summer. All that, a new puzzler that foils pesky thieves, and lots more. [Broadcast Date: November 24, 2007] Language: English. Narrator: Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi.

    Noah Tanner loves life and the gay men who live it. Bisexuals rock too. Questioning? Even better. One-offs come and go like dates on a calendar, but his friends and his calling never do.

He's closing in on his goal, but the deliciously scruffy, oh-so-sexy Bachelor Bid contestant, Dr. Kyland Davis, is proving far too distracting. Former Texan and no-nonsense surgeon Ky Davis prefers his beat-up Stetson boots to Louboutins. He's sacrificed a lot to help raise his siblings - including keeping his orientation a secret. After a difficult year for his sister, he'll do anything to see her smile again, even agree to participate in the fundraiser she's been hired to organize.
