    Armageddon: The Musical: Armageddon Trilogy, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 615min
    From the point of view of 2050, you're history. Theological warfare. Elvis on an epic time-travel journey - the Presliad. Buddhavision - a network bigger than God (and more powerful, too). Nasty nuclear leftovers. Naughty sex habits. Dalai Dan (the 153rd reincarnation of the Lama of that ilk) and Barry, the talkative Time Sprout. Even with all this excitement, you wouldn't think a backwater planet like Earth makes much of a splash in the galatic pond. But the soap opera called The Earthers is making big video bucks in the intergalactic ratings race. And alien TV execs know exactly what the old earth drama needs to make the off-world audience sit up and stare: a spectacular Armageddon-type finale. With a cast of millions - including you! Don’t touch that dial - it’s gonne be one helluva show… Robert Rankin describes himself as a teller of tall tales. The Morning Star describes him as 'The Master of Silliness', and his publisher describes him as ‘The Master of Far Fetched Fiction’. He is the author of more than thirty novels, of which he has sold millions of copies, and he makes people laugh around the world. Robert loves going on tour, signing books for readers, and his appearances at signings and conventions are legendary, often including a stand-up routine, a song (accompanied by his 'air-ukulele'), and an always-entertaining question-and-answer session. ungekürzt.

    New Clichés for the 21st Century: Zuckerisms , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min
    Look at life from a different perspective: Medical Humor at Its Best! is a book that offers a uniquely entertaining and sagacious view of life. Deep down inside all of us, there exists a tacit beckoning toward 'something' we must accomplish in our lifetimes if we are to consider our lives fulfilled. For me, creative writing has been a conscious, lingering summons - one that now demands expression, as my careers in medicine and business have had their turns. The underlying themes of my being, matured and refined by my explorations and collisions with life, have finally found their voice in this book. From now on, I plan to dedicate the years I have left (which, considering the present insurance charts, could be a helluva long time!) to fulfilling my last need before my own life's book closes. The style of writing I have used in this volume is commonly described as aphoristic. I chose this style to assert what I feel to be truths, in hopes of provoking thought and insight. Since I believe that everything is true and so is the opposite, my intent is to tickle, prod, and encourage you, the listener, to think for yourself. I hope that you will have as good a time listening to the book as I had writing it. Here is a preview of what's inside: The Doctor Is In On Aging On Idiot Savants On Life and Death It's All Relative The Pondering Jew And much, much more! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Ace: Las Vegas Bad Boys, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min, (USK 18)
    I don't take women to bed. I take them against the wall, hard and fast, and when I come I make sure they remember. They always do. I'm cocky as hell, I've got reason to be. I own Spades Royalle, the sexiest casino in Vegas. F - k, the sexiest casino in the country. I'm gonna keep building my empire all on my own - my ties with the mafia are in my past, buried with the bones of my family. I like my money clean and my women dirty. That is until I met Emmy Rose. She says she doesn't want a bad boy. I guess I'll have to change her pretty little mind. I made one rule when I moved to Vegas two months ago - I would not screw bad boys. Or asshats. Or really anyone I met on the casino floor. And the thing is, I've made good on my promise. I'm here for one reason, and one reason only: it's a f - king job. Landing in Vegas was never my plan. But plans change when your sister is in a coma and you don't know who put her there. If only she'd wake up and I could get some answers. Until then, I'll do everything in my power to avoid men who have a past as shady as my own. This book contains a helluva lot of chemistry and smokin' hot sex. Just be prepared, babycakes. And don't say I didn't warn you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Arden, Maxine Mitchell. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/inbl/000169/bk_inbl_000169_sample.mp3.

    Legends of Hollywood: The Life of Joan Fontaine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
    You know, I've had a helluva life. Not just the acting part. I've flown in an international balloon race. I've piloted my own plane. I've ridden to the hounds. I've done a lot of exciting things. - Joan Fontaine In 1939, Olivia de Havilland had her most memorable role as Melanie Hamilton in Gone With the Wind (1939), perhaps the most famous movie in American history, but Hollywood legend has it that she only got the role because her own younger sister, Joan Fontaine, was asked to audition for the part and recommended Olivia instead so that she could audition for Scarlett O'Hara. Although Fontaine and de Havilland would make history by becoming the only sisters to both win an Academy Award for Best Actress, that anecdote was just one of the various stories about the siblings that has shed light on their notoriously contentious and complicated relationship. As Fontaine once put it, "I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she'll undoubtedly be livid because I beat her to it!" De Havilland herself once said, "Joan is very bright and sharp and can be cutting." Of course, one of the reasons people have remained interested in the sisters is that both of them had such long acting careers, and Fontaine became best remembered both for a career that spanned 60 years and several high profile marriages. With typical humor, Fontaine joked about the fact she had so many husbands, commenting in jest, "If you keep marrying as I do, you learn everybody's hobby." But that attention has only served to obscure her very serious professional career, which saw her won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion (1941). ungekürzt.

"Why, yes, I'm engaged!" But once I say it to a potential client, there's only one logical thing to do - cast the role of my fake fiancé. Easy enough.

    Gender Politics: An Absurdist Political Humor Story for the Exceptionally Clever , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min
    Societal commentary just got interesting. Listen to this funny, racy, exaggerated take on a man running for office and the woman chosen to help him.Peppered with satire of the elite and commentary on class warfare, this quirky political humor story explores power struggles between the sexes. Perfect if you want to chuckle and think. This tale is one helluva ride - a sexy little snicker.Listen to Gender Politics if you enjoy: Weird, sexy politicsAbsurdist humor and politics of the absurdSocietal commentaryExcerpt:“Obesity is the new terrorism,” said Rolph, scraping the sauce off his dinner. He had ordered a marvelous $37.00 roasted trout, substituting broccoli for potatoes. Starch, he believed, was best limited to suits.Priscilla looked down at her plate in embarrassment; her salad dressing wasn’t on the side. She wondered what she was doing here, with this man, with this plate. So many years she had spent exiled in overweight oblivion - flirting with nothing but the cusp of obesity. Always on the brink. Now here she was, sexy and beautiful, eating dinner with a man who was practically allergic to cellulite.“I couldn’t agree more,” she replied, raising her glass.“And might I say,” he offered, lifting his glass up to hers. “You are so much more attractive when you are agreeable.”He clinked his glass and took a swig. “I find it very feminine.”Oftentimes, a woman is drawn to man because he fits a particularly unsavory stereotype, a “bad boy” if you will. A domineering, degrading, chauvinistic persona. The kind of man that constantly needs to assert his presence, minimizing hers. She no longer holds any power. Ironically, for the always on-the-go, on-the-clock kind of woman, this can provide a tremendous relief. No longer having to be in control. One of the most disturbing forms of liberation is finding freedom through belittlement.Deep down, Prisci ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kain Foster.

    Conspiracy: A True Story of Power, Sex, and a Billionaire's Secret Plot to Destroy a Media Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 699min
    An NPR Book Concierge best book of 2018! A stunning story about how power works in the modern age - the book the New York Times called "one helluva page-turner" and The Sunday Times of London celebrated as "riveting...an astonishing modern media conspiracy that is a fantastic read." Pick up the book everyone is talking about.In 2007, a short blogpost on Valleywag, the Silicon Valley vertical of Gawker Media, outed PayPal founder and billionaire investor Peter Thiel as gay. Thiel's sexuality had been known to close friends and family, but he didn't consider himself a public figure, and believed the information was private. This post would be the casus belli for a meticulously plotted conspiracy that would end nearly a decade later with a $140 million dollar judgment against Gawker, its bankruptcy and with Nick Denton, Gawker's CEO and founder, out of a job. Only later would the world learn that Gawker's demise was not incidental - it had been masterminded by Thiel. For years, Thiel had searched endlessly for a solution to what he'd come to call the "Gawker Problem". When an unmarked envelope delivered an illegally recorded sex tape of Hogan with his best friend's wife, Gawker had seen the chance for millions of page views and to say the things that others were afraid to say. Thiel saw their publication of the tape as the opportunity he was looking for. He would come to pit Hogan against Gawker in a multi-year proxy war through the Florida legal system, while Gawker remained confidently convinced they would prevail as they had over so many other lawsuit - until it was too late. The verdict would stun the world and so would Peter's ultimate unmasking as the man who had set it all in motion. Why had he done this? How had no one discovered it? What would this mean - for the First Amendment? For privacy? For culture? In Holiday's masterful telling of this nearly unb ungekürzt.

Unfortunately, my father needs to pass on the family business and doesn't think sleeping around gives me the credentials I need. I've got one week to convince him and the rest of my old-school English family that I've changed my wild ways and settled down with a "proper" girl. The problem? Claire's hiding something. Which seriously complicates things. She's supposed to help me get what I want...but my fake fiancée might just ruin it all.

Or will be if I can help him for just one week, convincing his family that we're in love and not just scheming to help him inherit the family business. If the plan works, he'll pay me a quarter of a million dollars. But if he finds out who I really am, he'll call off our deal. And I can't let that happen. Not just because I desperately need the money...but because the time I spend with him makes me believe that true love might be real after all. But Landon is a player. And I can't bear to have my heart broken. So I'm all in with the plan...but terrified that I'm about to make the biggest mistake of my life - falling in love with a man who can't be trusted.
