    Tortoise Stew , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 650min
    When a bomb is left on reporter Kelly Sands' desk, she's determined to find out who wants her to stop reporting on corporate growth in rural Florida. The open threat thrusts Kelly back into the arms of her editor and former lover, Bart Stanley. Together, the two begin to unravel the master plan of major developers who want to destroy the last vestiges of Florida's natural beauty. Tortoise Stew is a satire on political crime and Florida sensibilities. A sometimes humorous, often harrowing, and never boring Florida suspense novel, Tortoise Stew contains a cast of characters who leave dead armadillos as calling cards, dynamite ponds as a way to fish, and carry guns under Santa Claus costumes during the annual Christmas parade. The novel also addresses the ramifications of adoption after rape and the impact on both parents and children. All the while, the developers and environmentalists fling insults and intrigue as murder and fatal accidents bombard the small communities of rural north Florida. As she investigates the plots building up, Kelly heads inside a mental institution for more ammunition. When it gets about as insane as it can get, the 2000 presidential election looms in the background providing a surreal quality to the antics of these characters. Through it all, the steamy relationship between Kelly and Bart heats up as they rediscover what brought them together in the first place. Fasten your seatbelts for one raucous ride through the quagmire of crazy characters befitting a novel set in Floridian politics. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeffrey A. Hering.

    Driving in the Dark: A Childhood Memoir: A Childhood Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 650min
    While most kids are served home-cooked dinners and tucked in with bedtime stories at night, Mary Zoe never knows which version of her mother, Zodie, to expect. She might be dressed to the nines, rhapsodizing about a more luxurious way of life, or she might be strewn naked on the floor, slumped into unconsciousness by drugs and alcohol. But either way, Mary Zoe has known from an early age that she wants a better life: freedom from the squalor, the forever-empty cupboards, and the endless parade of abusive men, tranquilizers, and booze. And when Mary Zoe's older sister, Sissy, leaves the household, Zodie's behavior spins even further out of control. Coming to the painful realization that staying with her mother would mean danger, Mary Zoe crafts a plan to escape the household and leave the mother - whom she loves, but who has hurt her so deeply - behind. Set in the 1960s, few people intervene to help Mary Zoe, so she learns to seek help on her own. When she is taken into foster care by a loving, stable family, she thinks her problems have finally been solved. Instead, she finds herself caught in a nightmarish court system that leaves her torn between the family she knows will love and protect her, and the damaged mother she loves but knows is certain danger. A thrilling true story of courage and survival, Driving in the Dark documents the harrowing abuse and neglect that filled Zoe Niklas's childhood, as well as her path to overcoming these devastating events. ungekürzt.

    John Gilbert: The Last of the Silent Film Stars (Screen Classics) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 610min
    Charming and classically handsome, John Gilbert (1897-1936) was among the world's most recognizable actors during the silent era. He was a wild, swashbuckling figure on screen and off, and accounts of his life have focused on his high-profile romances with Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich, his legendary conflicts with Louis B. Mayer, his four tumultuous marriages, and his swift decline after the introduction of talkies. A dramatic and interesting personality, Gilbert served as one of the primary inspirations for the character of George Valentin in the Academy Award - winning movie The Artist (2011). Many myths have developed around the larger-than-life star in the eighty years since his untimely death, but this definitive biography sets the record straight. Eve Golden separates fact from fiction in John Gilbert: The Last of the Silent Film Stars, tracing the actor's life from his youth spent traveling with his mother in acting troupes to the peak of fame at MGM, where he starred opposite Mae Murray, Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, and other actresses in popular films such as The Merry Widow (1925), The Big Parade (1925), Flesh and the Devil (1926), and Love (1927). Golden debunks some of the most pernicious rumors about the actor, including the oft-repeated myth that he had a high-pitched, squeaky voice that ruined his career. Meticulous, comprehensive, this audiobook provides a behind-the-scenes look at one of the silent era's greatest stars and the glamorous yet brutal world in which he lived. ungekürzt.

    American Static , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min
    After being beaten and left for dead, Steven finds himself stranded alongside the 101 in a small Northern California town. When a mysterious stranger named Quinn offers a hand in exchange for help reuniting with his daughter in San Francisco, Steven gets in the car and begins a journey from which there is no return. Quinn has an agenda all his own and he's unleashing vengeance at each stop along his path. With a coked-up sadist ex-cop chasing Quinn, and two mismatched small town cops chasing the ex-cop, Steven is unaware of the violent tempest brewing. Corrupt cops and death-dealing gangsters manipulate the maze each of them must navigate to get to the one thing they're all after: Teresa, the girl holding the secret that will rip open a decades-old scandal and scorch San Francisco's City Hall. Steven finds Teresa homeless and strung out as their pursuers close in and bodies begin to pile high on the Bay Area's back streets.

    Talla 2XLC

Hier entstand der Begriff, die Bewegung, der prägende Sound der 90er Jahre.Andreas Tomalla, weltweit bekannt als DJ Talla2XLC, hat das Profil der Hauptstadt des Techno entscheidend geprägt. Er war von Anfang an dabei und gründete den Technoclub. Jahrelang war er einer der Resident DJs im legendären "Dorian Gray"."Am Anfang war der Technoclub" erzählt nicht nur die Lebensgeschichte von Talla2XLC, sondern auch die Entstehung des legendären Technoclubs. Wie er vom Plattenaufleger zum Musiker und DJ wurde, weltweit Berühmtheit erlangte und schließlich für seine kulturellen Verdienste die Ehrenplakette der Stadt Frankfurt bekam.

Die Techno-Welt wuchs und gedieh und wandelte sich dabei enorm, bis hin zur heutigen Zeit. Und was wurde aus Talla2XLC... "Ich war Techno-DJ der ersten Stunde, ich bin heute noch DJ und werde immer DJ sein. Wenn die Tanzenden außer Rand und Band geraten ... die Bässe Deinen Körper durchdringen und die Melodien Deine Emotionen verrückt spielen lassen...Das fühlt sich einfach großartig an und ist vielleicht das beste Gefühl überhaupt."
