    Race Harleson is up against it big time: The world is stripping naked, and it seems to be some form of viral madness. He ends up shot into space with a couple of sharp veteran astronauts...and a new sidekick, Dark Matter. Physics super-prodigy Crayten "Cray-Cray" Hobbs has juiced himself up so much that he can alter the essence of matter to his rather freewheeling will, so Race is understandably both awed and annoyed by the hyper young man, and he's stuck keeping his fingers crossed that the people who sent them up there knew what they're doing. And when nothing goes as hoped, it soon becomes obvious that what's behind the bizarre and embarrassing global phenomenon isn't half as scary as plain old greedy rich people. Race ends up a high-speed serial kidnapper, abducting the world's wealthiest and carrying them off to a tropical island nowhere for a little barbecue, some spirits and what he hopes will be some desperately needed plain talk. But a party crasher trashes those plans, leaving Race to deal with potential disaster on all fronts. As long as he stays naked, he may have a chance. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The chaos of war is a horrific background for coming of age, a trial by fire testing all who experience it, and changing them forever. Contrary to Government denial during the Vietnam War, the U.S. Army regularly sent Special Forces sniper teams into Laos and Cambodia. Their assignments took them deep into enemy territory. Many teams never returned. Heirs of Honor is the memoir of Lucky, the youngest member of one of those killing teams. A hero worshipping kid awed by the more experienced men around him, he was more than willing to prove himself to them and ignore the damage to his young soul. He was only 20 when introduced to the Special Forces team, and “star-struck” at being invited to join them. Their journey into the madness that only exists in war is chronicled in Lucky’s journals, as well as the toll on his spirit, as he grows from innocent High School kid to scarred warrior. Heirs of Honor is a story of men enduring the horror of war, and their struggle to retain their sanity, as they come of age. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joel Richards.

    Dave Baranek (callsign "Bio") was one of 451 young men to receive his Wings of Gold in 1980 as a naval flight officer. Four years later, seasoned by intense training and deployments in the tense confrontations of the Cold War, he became the only one of that initial group to rise to become an instructor at the navy's elite Fighter Weapons School. As a Topgun instructor, Bio was responsible for teaching the navy's and Marine Corps' best fighter pilots how to be even better. He schooled them in the classroom and then went head-to-head with them in the skies. Then, in August 1985, Bio was assigned to combine his day-to-day flight duties with participation in a Pentagon-blessed project to film action footage for a major Hollywood movie focusing on the lives, loves, heartbreaks, and triumphs of young fighter pilots: Top Gun. Bio soon found himself riding in limousines to attend gala premieres, and being singled out by giggling teenagers and awed schoolboys who recognized the name "Topgun" on his T-shirts. The audiobook ends with his reflections on his career as a skilled naval aviator and his enduring love of flight. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeremy Arthur.

    Sherlock Holmes is one of those iconic characters who have become so embedded in our culture that he transcends space and time. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the currently popular series, Sherlock, have tried to kill off the famous character. So what is it about this colorful, egocentric, brilliant, conceited man that engages the imagination? Sherlock Holmes: Bird Dragging a Broken Wing explores one possible reason why Holmes can be "killed" over and over and still survive - along with his arch nemesis, Moriarty - to become the subject of yet another story. Be prepared to be amazed and awed, to delve into strange cultures, to meet characters almost as colorful and amazing as Holmes himself in this story about Sherlock Holmes. The author has boldly incorporated iconic figures from other tales, as well, weaving the fabric of a "never-when" world that will intrigue and entice, while titillating the imagination. Suspend disbelief as you enter a slightly anachronistic world in that moment between the sinking of the Titanic and before prohibition. Enter an era that was so brief in history that if you blinked, you would have missed it. Listen, and learn the amazing number of futures that can be packed into a single moment. ungekürzt.
