    The Magus and The Fool (eBook, ePUB)
    The Magus and The Fool-A Queer and Trans-Positive Retelling of The Great Gatsby Carry Iverson needs a change of pace from his predictable life in Ohio. He takes a position with a social justice firm in Austin and rents a cottage on Lake Travis. At a bewildering dinner with his cousin, Donovan, his wife, Fallon, and an alluring transgender man, Levi, Carry discovers his neighbor is a wealthy and mysterious man who has everyone talking. Carry's curiosity turns into attraction after meeting the flirtatious Jacobi at one of his parties. But Jacobi has a secret desire of his own: he is in love with Donovan. Now Carry finds himself caught in the middle of a reckless love triangle with Fallon, who is hellbent on destroying Jacobi to keep her wayward husband from straying. Passion and jealousy reach a fever pitch when the carefully designed lives of Carry, Donovan, Fallon, and Levi unravel. This provocative and explosive LGBTQ+ novel is about what happens at the intersection of obsession and tragedy and explores the frailty of hope and agony over what could have been but never was, two forces that pull us into lives that we were never meant to live. Readers of books like Brokeback Mountain, Call Me By Your Name, and The Song of Achilles will enjoy reading The Magus and The Fool as will fans of Alexander Chee, Andre Aciman, and David Levithan.

    Asylum 54.0 : The Bionics Saga, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 576min
    Bionic assassins. A deadly virus. And one wicked plot for revenge. Three weeks after being captured by a league of madmen known as the Jackets, I can no longer remember the person I used to be. They say my name is Ari, that I'm a bionic assassin with powerful abilities. I work for the people who created me. I kill for them, warding off the alien-like beasts that fall from the sky and roam the desert hills, feeding on unfortunate victims. Killing is the purpose and mission for all bionics, but I'm not compliant. I can't be controlled, and my memories are returning with every new day. To find the answers buried in my past, I'll need to force myself into a life of exile and hunt every city until I locate the five bionics like me: my legion. Even though our powers are stronger when we're together, there are far more capable beings that want to change us, erase us. Jonathus and I are the most alike, but there is something in our blood threatening to rip us apart. We'll either be the victors to win the war against our creators, or we'll be the catalyst that unleashes a fatal virus and a world of pain. For years we have been misused as weapons, but now we are hellbent on our revenge, even if we must make sacrifices to get it. My name is Mathai Porter. The invasion starts now. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kamala Alcantara, Daniel Turley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/161381/bk_acx0_161381_sample.mp3.

    Jesus Was a Time Traveler , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 761min
    An action-packed dinosaur hunt...wave after wave of bloodthirsty Nazis desperately trying to mow down our heroes...and yes, an appearance by Jesus Himself. All in a couple days' work for Dr. Phineas Templeton. A quirky English chap with a taste for fine scotch, Dr. Templeton builds a time machine at the behest of his mysterious benefactor. His mission? To meet Jesus Christ Himself, and garner all of the fame, recognition, and accolades that writing an epic time travelogue would bring.  Unfortunately for Finny, Jesus is actually a fellow time traveler, a hippie named Trent from Colorado in the future. While Trent explains that the past is fixed and immutable (“What happened, like, happened, man...”), Dr. Templeton realizes that he's made a horrible oversight in his calculations, and can't return to his own time period. The only way home is to follow a list of cryptic instructions his benefactor has hidden on the time machine, which sends him on a madcap, at times hilarious voyage from watching his hero, Sir Isaac Newton, be berated by a high school physics teacher, to hunting dinosaurs, to rescuing two colorful American soldiers and fighting Nazis hellbent on his destruction. A novel that's been called equal parts The Da Vinci Code and Back to the Future, Jesus Was a Time Traveler combines quirky humor, thought-provoking concepts, intriguing clues, and a finicky universe that would like nothing more than to keep things as they are. ungekürzt.

    Blown , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 391min
    Bryan LeBlanc worked his way up into a plum position on Wall Street as the boy genius of the foreign exchange desk. Surrounded by acolytes of the free market, the true believers, the US Marines of capitalism - "the few, the proud, the completely full of themselves" - Bryan soon realizes that being honest at a dishonest job is not the path to success. He decides to give Wall Street a taste of its own medicine and hatches an intricate plan to disappear permanently with just enough misappropriated money - and sailing classes - to spend his golden years cruising the Caribbean.  Bryan quickly learns that being a criminal, even a really smart one, is more complicated than he thought. He finds himself on the run in the Cayman Islands, wanted for murder. On his trail is an irresponsible team of investigators sent by his Wall Street firm, hellbent on reclaiming the millions before their clients notice it's missing: his boss, Seo-yun Kim, who's committed to not only clearing her name but escaping her suffocating fiance and their pending nuptials; the investment bank's collections agent, Neal Nathanson, depressed over a recent break-up with his boyfriend; and an ex-cop from Curaçao, Piet Room, who has traded in his badge for spouse spying as a private investigator.
