Twenty Years After is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, first serialized from January to August 1845. A book by The d'Artagnan Romances, is a sequel to The Three Musketeers (1844) and precedes the 1847- 1850 novel The Viscount of Bragelonne (which includes the subplot The Man in the Iron Mask). The novel follows the events in France during the Fronde, during the childhood reign of Louis XIV and in England towards the end of the English Civil War, up to the victory of Oliver Cromwell and the execution of King Charles I. Through the words of the main characters, especially Athos, Dumas sided with the monarchy in general, or at least the text often praises the idea of ¿¿benevolent royalty. His musketeers are valiant and righteous in their efforts to protect the young Louis XIV and the doomed Charles I from their attackers.

In Bed with Susie Bright 389: What Do You REALLY Think of Miss California's Breasts? The Porn of Pageantry, Hörbuch, Digital, 29min, (USK 18)

Susie begins today's show with a look into a bizarre spectacle: the subplot surrounding Miss USA and Miss California. This story has gay secrets, missing breast implants, biblical quotations, and topless Internet pictures. The recent Miss California finalist, Carrie Prejean, seems to be leading a double life. Susie talks about the whole beauty pageant industry and subculture as she tries to make sense of why people still care about such an outdated showcase. Isn't this pageant more brothel-like - with Donald Trump as the pimp? Next, Susie delves into funerals and sex. How can anyone be thinking lusty thoughts at such a solemn time? Contrary to popular thought, a lot of us get horny in the presence of coffins, apparently. Susie reads from an e-magazine called Obit that says, "funereal sex may be death's best antidote".Then, in the "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie gets a letter from a listener who believes his OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) is getting in the way of having good sex. He asks for help to restore the intimacy in his marriage. Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110.

All Souls Near & Nigh : Soulbound, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 591min

You can’t bargain with death if you’ve already sold your soul. Special agent Patrick Collins has been reassigned by the supernatural operations agency to New York City. Navigating his new relationship with Jonothon de Vere, the werewolf he’s now soulbound to, is nothing compared to dealing with territorial disputes between the vampires and werecreatures who call the five boroughs home. But the delicate treaties that have kept the preternatural world in check are fraying at the edges, and the fallout is spilling into the mundane world. Manhattan’s club scene is overrun with the vampire drug known as shine and the subways have become a dumping ground for bodies. When the dead are revealed as missing werecreatures, Patrick and Jono find themselves entangled in pack politics twisted by vampire machinations. Learning to trust each other comes with problems for both of them, and the gods with a stake in Patrick’s soul debt aren’t finished with him yet. Bound by promises they can’t break, Patrick and Jono must find a way to survive a threat that takes no prisoners and is stalking them relentlessly through the city streets. Old and new betrayals are coming home to roost but the truth - buried in blood - is more poisonous than the lies being spun. Trying to outrun death is a nightmare - one Patrick may never wake up from. All Souls Near & Nigh is a 104,000 word m/m urban fantasy with a gay romantic subplot and a HFN ending. It is a direct sequel to A Ferry of Bones & Gold, and listening to the first book in the series would be helpful in enjoying this one. Please see the disclaimer at the beginning of the book for content some listeners may find triggering. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Furlong.
