Darkness Descends: The Silver Legacy, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 533min
Denny Silver is just a normal college student living a not-so-normal life in the most haunted city in America. Sure, her lover is a ghost, but in Savannah, that's not what's unusual. What is strange is the influx of supernatural creatures roaming the streets looking to start trouble - with Denny specifically. To fight back against the wave of demons, she racks up one unusual companion after another - from ghosts to witches to demons. In her search for answers to her supernatural problem, Denny discovers that she is a born demon hunter, and, no, she doesn't have any choice in the matter. Okay, so being possessed by an ancient demon doesn't exactly fit into her life plans, but somebody has to do it. Denny must either accept the mantle of demon hunter or stand back helplessly as the dark forces destroy everything and everyone she's ever loved. At least she can always pick up her sword and chain whip to go kick some demon ass. After all, it is her legacy, right? An earlier version of this book was published as Demon Hunter by Linda Kay Silver. The story has since been updated and re-edited. Learn more at www.AlexWestmore.net. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Hayden and the Coded Coat: Darkness Descends , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 138min
Millions and millions of years ago, when the big bang happened in the universe, and the Earth was created... People believed that it was an act of evil that made Adam eat the apple; it wasn’t that something went wrong that day, as you see, all good and bad thoughts came from two rooms in a faraway galaxy. One room was covered by a blue cloth, and one room was covered by a black cloth, and both were controlled by special codes. And with help from other creatures in the galaxy, the good room could control human thoughts. That was, until a huge war started with a creature called Griller turning bad, forcing the galaxies gods to banish all the creatures and the cloths to Earth, never to be found. That was until one day, thousands of years later, Hayden and his dad discover the good cloth and its contents hidden in a mountains cave. The good cloth turns into a coat with a code that has superpowers, and Hayden becomes a superhero overnight, being named coded boy. But behind the good that was also in the mountain was the bad black cloth, and a creature called Quahcain that is looking for it. Quahcain wants to find the answers and bring Griller back, which will bring darkness to the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Wasmund.

But the powers that hold sway in the ancient kingdoms will not meekly fade into nothingness. The cruel priesthood of Bhanek dominates Elvenholme. In the human realms of Primovantor and Ahmun, the sinister disciples of Shobik hold sway. If they would free the people they've come to help, the Celestians must set themselves up as new gods and sweep away the vestiges of the Primogenitors. But there is one ancient god that is far more than a mere echo of former power. Before they can truly free the mortals of Pannithor, the Celestians must defeat not merely the followers of their greatest foe, but the god himself, the savage Korgaan!- Shop: buecher

What if...for the first time in the history of the United States we took a social and economic nose dive into oblivion? The Between Times is just such a scenario. A story that reads like a folk tale from the past, but in reality is a fantastic possibility based on the choices available to us today.The premise is nothing short of an incredible imagination as modern day Chicago fades into an evil darkness separated by a wall. A separateness ruled by the upper society that isolates and mistreats the poor. These less fortunate people, in a short amount of time find themselves forced to live in the lower communities suffering from mistreatment comparable only to the concentration camps during WWII. Women are no longer human beings, but are nothing more than breeding animals kept only to prevent the extinction of the race. The conditions are bleak and seemingly hopeless.It is the belief in a Legend that becomes the driving force behind the survival. A young girl named Jewel, living in the captivity of this devastating socioeconomic environment, is the dream. She manifests hope and magic from within this beautiful tale.Fantastical, magical, and mystical in a story that will make you believe it is about a long forgotten past, but in reality is a possible future! I wholeheartedly recommend this remarkable highly imaginative novel! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: A.J. Carter.

Beirut 2020
Winner of the 2020 Prix Femina Special Jury Prize, this is the diary of one of Lebanon's best-selling authors in the year of the explosion that stunned the world. When Charif Majdalani begins to walk the streets of his city, and to write down what he sees, the first hints of unrest within a vibrant culture creep to the fore. Majdalani's reportage through the months of 2020 bears witness to the ways in which an ancient civilization slowly, then rapidly, descends into the abyss: corruption and vice infect the corridors of power; currency plummets into freefall, rats scurry between piles of rotting rubbish that grow higher along the pavements. Born from the rancour of existential pestilence, violence erupts and Beirut's citizens find themselves in high-voltage stand-offs with law enforcement. Then, the unexpected, Beirut collapses under the explosive force of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate. The blast kills hundreds and injures thousands. But through the rubble and the sirens, a people finds its strength to survive and its heart to unite. The city becomes the metaphor for each of our cultural capitals throughout the world. The diary of one of Lebanon's best-selling authors in the year of the explosion that stunned the world. Majdalani's reportage through the months of 2020 bears witness to the ways in which an ancient civilization slowly, then rapidly, descends into the abyss.- Shop: buecher
