Too Close to the Edge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 498min
An activist’s murder forces Jill to infiltrate Berkeley’s psychedelic underworld A town as diverse as Berkeley, California, is never without controversy. This year the uproar is over the Rainbow Village, a hippie-occupied bayside lot that has degenerated into a drug-infested cesspool. As the city tries to eject the squatters, two Grateful Dead fans are murdered and a developer is assaulted. But for homicide detective Jill Smith, the conflict at the Village is only a nuisance until the violence gets personal. While staking out a coffee shop, Jill sees Liz Goldenstern, a handicapped activist who has long been a thorn in the side of local business. Her wheelchair has broken down, and Jill offers to push her home. The next morning, Liz is found savagely murdered at the Village. To find her killer, Jill will have to remember that sometimes hippies are far from pacifists. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Teri Linden.

Voices by the Wayside: A Book of Poetry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
This is a short book of poetry that was born out of the strangest corners of my mind. It is a cesspool of uncomfortable imagery and frank introspection. Some of the ideas go to dark places that only a select group of people might relate to. I myself have felt like a completely different person when coming up with a lot of the material. My goal with this book was not to make it as accessible as possible, but rather give you a glimpse into the potential our minds possess to hit rock bottom. This is a look at where my head has been for the last few years of my adult life. The one thing I hope you take away from these poems is the fact that the selfish, lonely, twisted, and malicious parts of ourselves deserve to be treated with just as much candor as the goodness we so eagerly display. ungekürzt.

The Drowned Throne: Lore of Arcana, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1025min
From the cesspool of Silas Island into the underworld of Two Town, the battle for Valaris continues. As epic storms batter the continent, men, women, and children succumb to soltakin touch and darkling blade. It is time to unveil the hidden half-race from under the sands of the Vall Peninsula; Valaris needs soldiers as much as she needs hope. It is time, also, to face Margus in his lair and throw down the gauntlet. Arrayed against his might is the small team of defenders, among them Taranis of the Guardians, Vannis of the Valleur, and Torrullin, a man with a dual nature, who as often fights the darkness rising within as he fights to save his world. Dreams and visions plague Torrullin; he battles to find himself when fate appears omnipotent, and love seems ever beyond his reach. The extinct Gosa volcano erupts as sacred sites implode to create earthquakes and tidal waves. A monster wave races to the site of an epic confrontation before an ancient and powerful golden seat. The Valleur Throne is about to assume ultimate status. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thomas Bestwick. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/231468/bk_acx0_231468_sample.mp3.

Certainty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 629min
When you're fighting an injustice, can it be wrong to do what's right? Inspired by the scandalous true story that shocked a nation at the close of WWI. With America's entry into World War I, the population of Newport, Rhode Island, seems to double overnight as 25,000 rowdy recruits descend on the Naval Training Station. Drinking, prostitution, and other depravities follow the sailors, transforming the upscale town into what many residents - including young lawyer William Bartlett, whose genteel family has lived in Newport for generations - consider to be a moral cesspool. When sailors accuse a beloved local clergyman of sexual impropriety, William feels compelled to fight back. He agrees to defend the minister against the shocking allegations, in the face of dire personal and professional consequences. But when the trial grows increasingly sensational, and when outrageous revelations echo all the way from Newport to the federal government, William must confront more than just the truth - he must confront the very nature of good and evil. Certainty recalls a war-torn era when the line between right and wrong became dangerously blurred. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Victor Bevine.
