Glenn, a college sophomore, hasn’t gotten used to being a gnome healer, trapped in a world that functions under the rules of Monsters, Maces and Magic. Of course, acclimating isn’t the plan. He, along with the other players drawn into the RPG world in the form of their characters, want to escape and return home. Stephi, Kirby, Ron, Derek, and Glenn survived their first adventure into the Dark Heart Swamp and are approached to once again enter the dismal marshland. An elf maiden, daughter of a baronet, has been taken captive by a band of goblins, and gold is offered for her rescue. Gold is needed, not only if the party hopes to escape the game world, but to live and survive its perils. Glenn and his party take the mission, even though they weren’t the first choice. Beyond that, the foul swamp and its evil denizen may not be the greatest danger. A seer warns that their greatest threat lies in betrayal.

Roman Games: A Plinius Secundus Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 514min
Rome, September A.D. 96. When the body of Sextus Verpa, a notorious senatorial informer and libertine, is found stabbed to death in his bedroom, his slaves are suspected. Pliny, a very respectable young senator and lawyer, is ordered by the emperor Domitian to investigate. However, the Ludi Romani, “the Roman Games”, have just begun, and for the next 15 days the law courts are in recess. If Pliny can’t identify the murderer in that time, Verpa’s entire slave household will be burned alive in the arena. Pliny teams up with Martial, a starving author of bawdy verses and denizen of the Roman demimonde. Pooling their respective talents, they unravel a plot that involves Jewish and Christian “atheists”, exotic Egyptian cultists, and a missing horoscope that forecasts the emperor’s death. Their investigation leads them into the heart of the palace, where no one is safe from the paranoid Domitian. As the deadline approaches, Pliny struggles with the painful dilemma of a good man who is forced to serve a brutal regime - a situation familiar in our own age as well. The novel provides an intimate glimpse into the palaces and tenements, bedrooms and brothels of imperial Rome’s most opulent and decadent age. Bruce Macbain holds a B.A. in classics from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in ancient history from the University of Pennsylvania. He has taught Greek and Roman history at Vanderbilt University and Boston University. His special interest is religion in the Roman Empire. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bronson Pinchot.

Hurricane: Phantom Queen Diaries, Book 9 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 548min
What’s a goddess to do?After being lost at sea and taken prisoner by yet another denizen of the Titan realm, Quinn finds herself cold, wet, miserable, and very much alone. Until a familiar and unexpected face steps back into her life to remind her who she is - and has always - been: A fighter. Following this revelation, Quinn can only acknowledge that some journeys require circuitous routes, even if that means attaining her freedom and rushing - not to the rescue of her besieged allies - but to the mythical island of Aeaea, home to the infamous witch, Circe, where Quinn will be confronted with cryptic visions of the present and a brutal choice: To sacrifice everything she is on the altar of what she could become, or to continue stumbling around in the dark.No matter her decision, Quinn knows she must see order restored to the Eighth Sea if she hopes to save her friends and allies. But at what price? The answer to that could cost Quinn her very humanity and will reveal stark truths about her role in the war to come. A war her father predicted and, apparently, prepared for. A war which has already begun to claim the lives of those she cares about and will likely claim many more before all is said and done.But, before she can worry about any of that, Quinn must go to battle against her old friend and nemesis, rescue her besieged friends, and honor her end of a lopsided bargain - a task which will pit Quinn against her wildest nightmares and her darkest dreams with just one person at her side...a certain mouthy wizard from St. Louis - Nate Temple.The waters get even murkier as Quinn gets caught in a current that draws her closer and closer to the secrets which surround Atlantis, to the gates of the Underworld and the lost souls which lie beyond, and to the mysterious figure of her father, a wizard so powerful he defied time itself.Some people like to say that when it rains, it pours. But then they must never have met Quinn MacKenna. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amanda Leigh Cobb. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/188601/bk_acx0_188601_sample.mp3.

Holocaust 2: The Coming Massacre of Christians and Jews at the Hands of Muslim Extremists , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min
Introduction: Cosmopolitan to Concentration Camp When most of us hear the word "Auschwitz" it immediately invokes black and white, grainy footage of living skeletons, gas chambers and inhuman brutality of a level never seen since. But the thing that most people do not realize is that before the town of Auschwitz was used as a death camp, it was one of the most posh and cosmopolitan towns in all of Austria. It was a prosperous Jewish enclave known rather fondly as "Little Jerusalem". Since the economic and social reforms in Austria in the late 19th century, the Jewish population had thrived as equal citizens and rose up the social ladder to esteemed occupations and cultural influence. It was from this lofty height of financial and social success that this little enclave had been ripped from, down to the depths of death and destruction. The construction of the compound that became known as the Auschwitz concentration camp actually began in 1916; the original purpose of the building was for it to be a kind of unemployment office. Situated right on the eastern frontier of Austria, it was meant to be a way station for immigrant workers from the East, mostly from Poland, who came to the country in search of work. Even after the Nazi takeover and conversion of the compound to a death camp, the façade of referring to the building as simply a work processing facility, rather than a factory of death, remained a prominent deception during the rest of the Second World War. A cruel trick that was made infamous by the words that the Nazi's emblazoned on the building to greet the doomed internee's, the words, "Arbeit Macht Frie" translated in English as, "Work Will Set You Free". This was the twisted phrase that the Denizen of this camp would be greeted with; when in reality they would not find any freedom from their misery until they were either worked to death or murdered in Hitler's gas chambers. ungekürzt.

Monsters of the Deep (eBook, ePUB)
A deep dive into the undersea netherworld of sea serpents, lake monsters, surviving dinosaurs, genetically altered mutants, and legendary aquatic creatures. Water takes up 70 percent of Earth's surface, with countless lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, seas and oceans covering much of the land, but what lurks beneath the water? For centuries, sightings have been made of huge, marauding monsters swimming the world's oceans and lakes. They include Scotland's legendary Loch Ness Monster; the United States' equivalent, Champ, of Lake Champlain; and Canada's long-necked denizen of the deep known as Ogopogo. These, and many more, famous monsters of the world below us also include giant squid, massive octopi, and even the fabled Kraken and the fabled mermaids of millennia long-gone. Possibly, too, there survive populations of marine reptiles that were assumed to have gone extinct millions of years ago, in the Jurassic period, such as the plesiosaur. Whether scaly or slithery, massive prehistoric dinosaurs or mutant serpents, Monsters of the Deep catalogs nearly 100 accounts of eels, alligators, reptiles, giant squids, snakes, worms, deadly fish, and cold-blooded creatures of all manner and ilk. It reveals the astonishing extent to which lake monsters and sea serpents have surfaced throughout history to terrify, perplex, and amaze those who have crossed paths with these monsters of the unknown. Master storyteller, established author, and respected expert on the unexplained and paranormal Nick Redfern sifts through the historical record, first-person accounts, and unearthed government files on lake monsters and sea serpents to tell of encounters with a variety of beasts, including ... Cheever Felch's 19th-century account of the massive Gloucester, New England, Sea Serpent The brontosaurus-like Mokele-Mbembe of the Congo The supernatural Bunyip, a monster that lurks within the creeks, lagoons, and swamps of Australia that has been known to the Aboriginal people for centuries The disputed claims of Teddy May, former Commissioner of Sewers in New York, of alligators roaming the sewers of the city The monster-sized fish in the River Nene, in the Fens, Cambridgeshire, England Modern mutants genetically altered by pollution And many more! This richly researched reference overflows with fascinating information to make you think about-and reconsider-dipping your toes into water. With more than 120 photos and graphics, this tome is nicely illustrated. Monsters of the Deep also includes a helpful bibliography and an extensive index, adding to its usefulness.- Shop: buecher

Denizen Tenant
Denizen Tenant enthält ein Dutzend neuer Aufnahmen. Darunter befindet sich auch ein Cover der Beatles "If I Fell", das Williams als den einen speziellen Song zitiert, der ihm die Kraft von Harmonien und Gesangsarrangements vermittelt hat. Auf Peter Gabriels "Don't Give Up" ist ein ganz besonderes Gastspiel zu hören, Williams Tocher Hannah ist hier als Sängerin zu hören.Auf allen Aufnahmen sind neben dem Percussionisten Lenny Castro immer wieder die Gitarristen Steve Lukather und Michael Landau zu hören. Williams reflektiert: "Mit Michael Landau spiele ich seit ich Teenager war. Er inspiriert mich immer wieder mit seinem Spiel. Bei Steve Lukather geht es mir genau so." In Bezug auf Lenny sagt er: "Lenny weiß genau, was ein Song braucht, und er hat immer eine Menge Wahlmöglichkeiten parat. Von ihm bekomme ich immer das, was ich will. Mit Lenny ist es wie bei Mike Landau, wir machen seit einer Ewigkeit zusammen Musik?. Das Album ist Teil der fortwährenden Zusammenarbeit des Triumvirats Lukather/Paich/Williams. Williams schrieb zusammen mit David Paich "Liberty Man", während der Keyboarder in "Black Dahlia" die Hammond B3 spielte. "Ich liebe es, mit Dave zu schreiben. Immer wenn wir gemeinsam schreiben, verbringen wir Stunden damit, über Geschichte, Religion, Musik, Literatur, Filme usw. zu sprechen. Das bringt uns dann zu einem Thema oder Konzept für den Song. Dann fangen wir an, Phrasen wegzuwerfen, Ideen zu sammeln und zu verwerfen. Dabei formen wir die Melodien neu".Es gibt so viele Mitwirkende mit einer tiefen Verbindung und Geschichte zu Williams, die alle einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf Denizen Tenant haben.FORMATECD Digipak mit 12 Seiten Booklet2LP Gatefold 180 Gr.

Razorback
It's no cute koala munching eucalyptus leaves. It's a rhino-sized denizen of the Outback that can turn you into a blood-feast. Out of a wasteland of beauty and death comes Razorback, tensely directed by Russell Mulcahy (Highlander) and ominously shot by Dean Semler (the Mad Max cinematographer who won an Academy Award for Dances with Wolves). Gregory Harrison plays a na?ve American arriving down under to look for his missing wife. Unequipped for the rough landscape and unprepared for the horrors lurking within, he is soon battling to survive. Amid the hanging carcasses of the Pet Pak cannery, he confronts the monstrous creature while a conveyor belt inches man and beast toward razor-sharp blades that will make pet food out of one ' or both.- Shop: odax
