    Ancestor: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 921min
    “The ancestors are out there…you have to believe me.” From acclaimed author Scott Sigler—New York Times best-selling creator of Infected and Contagious—comes a tale of genetic experimentation’s worst nightmare come true. Every five minutes, a transplant candidate dies while waiting for a heart, a liver, a kidney. Imagine a technology that could provide those life-saving transplant organs for a nominal fee...and imagine what a company would do to get a monopoly on that technology. On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, P. J. Colding leads a group of geneticists who have discovered this holy grail of medicine. By reverse-engineering the genomes of thousands of mammals, Colding's team has dialed back the evolutionary clock to re-create humankind’s common ancestor. The method? Illegal. The result? A computer-engineered living creature, an animal whose organs can be implanted in any person, and with no chance of transplant rejection. There's just one problem: these ancestors are not the docile herd animals that Colding's team envisioned. Instead, Colding’s work has given birth to something big, something evil. With these killer creatures on the prowl, Colding and the woman he loves must fight to survive — even as government agents close in to shut the project down, and the deep-pocketed company backing this research proves to have its own cold-blooded agenda. As the creators become the prey in the ultimate battle for survival, Scott Sigler takes listeners on the ultimate thrill-ride—and offers a chilling cautionary account of what can happen when hubris, greed, and madness drive scientific experimentation past the brink of reason. ungekürzt.

    Dangerous Secrets , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 639min
    A chance meeting and mistaken identity throw gorgeous Hollywood superstar Conor Fitzpatrick and pretty Kiera Donovan together in an unlikely romance fraught with tragic secrets that could endanger a young girl's life. When an arranged marriage seems like the only way to save Conor's daughter from a ruthless murderer, Kiera must risk destroying their growing love to return to Ireland and confront a terror from her past. Love and lives hang in the balance as they travel from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and then to the treacherous cliffs of Kilkee, Ireland, for a dramatic showdown with a crazed madman. ~ PG Excerpt ~The ringing telephone jolted her, and sent her panicked heart into overdrive. Had something terrible happened to Lissa? Quickly she grabbed the receiver. “Hello?” “Kiera?” Conor’s rich lilting voice filled her small bedroom. “Good, it is you. I was hoping I’d dialed the right number.” “Conor.” Momentary relief weakened her knees, and she sank down onto her mattress. Then her hands began to tremble - from delayed reaction, she assured herself. Just because she’d been worried about Lissa. Never, ever because she was thrilled to hear his deep, lyrical voice. “How did you find me?” His laugh was warm and full of boyish delight. “Directory assistance, of course. Did you think I’d followed you from the park?” “No, of course not.” Why, after all, would an important man like Conor Fitzpatrick bother tracking her movements? Because her quick refusal this afternoon had intrigued him, she realized with a quick mental groan. She’d have done better to fawn on him until he got bored, and lost interest in her. Oh, she never should have let the phone company list her number when she’d changed it again last October! But she’d been so sure no one would suspect innocuous K. Donovan of having even the slightest connection with a far-distant Irishwoman named Peggy Delaney. Careless, careless, careless!

    Two Opposites Souls Collide, Book 4: When Lesbians Play , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min, (USK 18)
    New Beginnings. Anne quickly drove back to Jenna's house. Tears were falling from her eyes, messing up the make-up that the woman from the Four Seasons had taken so long to put on her. She didn't care. She wiped underneath her eyes, seeing mascara come running off. She quickly reached into her purse that was on her lap, and as she made all kinds of turns, to make sure in case he was following her, he'd lose her. She dialed Jenna's number. "Hey girl, can I come spend the night, well, maybe a few nights..." She heard on the other end of the line exactly what she knew she'd hear. Jenna told her that she was always more than welcome at her home. "What happened? How could he possibly have gotten mad at you? You've only been gone away from me for 30 minutes!" Jenna exclaimed. Anne gave her a brief rundown of what had happened at the restaurant. When she was finished, Jenna was outraged. "I can't believe he did that to you! Well, don't you worry. Just get over here as soon as you can. I'll have my two men standing out back by the garage so he doesn't bother you. Pull right into the garage." Anne thanked her and they hung up, and head straight to Jenna's house. When she arrived, just as Jenna had said, there were two men standing outside of the garage waiting for her. As soon as she pulled up, she opened the door with the garage door opener inside of the car, and the men came in as the door closed behind her. She got out of the car, and the men escorted her into the house, without a word being exchanged. As soon as Anne entered the house, Jenna came running to her. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Death of Fernie: The Best Little Book Ever Written About Real Little Boys in the 1950s , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 185min
    Boomers and Bullies In The Death of Fernie: The Best Little Book Ever Written About Real Little Boys in the 1950s, critically acclaimed author Daniel Altieri has turned his attentions to something completely different - a foray into an East Coast childhood of the Eisenhower era. The Death of Fernie is a free-spirited tale with special resonance for the postwar generation, who grew up in that time of imagination and awakening. It's written mainly from the point of view of the boys, preadolescents in the scary post-grammar-school world. A tale of bullies and abuse, of rich flights of imagination and reflection, when phones dialed, there were three channels on TV, and flying saucers hovered everywhere. It's 1958 in rural Connecticut, and three boys between 10 and 11 years old - Tommy (from a stable, "normal" family), Jose (Hispanic, Catholic), and Jimmy (underfed child of a poor, single, alcoholic mother, has a severely retarded sister) - have been pals since first grade. But it's September, and the safe, cozy innocence of elementary school is behind them. Now they must enter the scary, new world of junior high school. In their small New England mill town, every kid from whatever side of the tracks goes to this same big school: kids from green-lawned houses where mothers put clear plastic on the lampshades and carpets, kids from houses where dilapidated sofas and car parts clutter the sagging porches and sumac-overgrown yards - it doesn't matter; they all get tossed together in a survival-of-the-fittest way. It's a hard time for our three pals. And it's about to get harder. Daniel Altieri is the coauthor of several international best sellers: The Court of the Lion, Iron Empress, and Shangri-La: The Return to the World of Lost Horizon. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies (eBook, ePUB)
    Brutally honest, often hilarious, hard-won lessons in learning to love and care for yourself from a former vice president at Comedy Central who was called "ahead of her time" by Jordan Peele "You're going to want Tara Schuster to become your new best friend."-Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed "Compelling, persuasive, and useful no matter where you are in your life."-Chelsea Handler, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Life Will Be the Death of Me By the time she was in her late twenties, Tara Schuster was a rising TV executive who had worked for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and helped launch Key & Peele to viral superstardom. By all appearances, she had mastered being a grown-up. But beneath that veneer of success, she was a chronically anxious, self-medicating mess. No one knew that her road to adulthood had been paved with depression, anxiety, and shame, owing in large part to her minimally parented upbringing. She realized she'd hit rock bottom when she drunk-dialed her therapist pleading for help. Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies is the story of Tara's path to re-parenting herself and becoming a "ninja of self-love." Through simple, daily rituals, Tara transformed her mind, body, and relationships, and shows how to • fake gratitude until you actually feel gratitude • excavate your emotional wounds and heal them with kindness • identify your self-limiting beliefs, kick them to the curb, and start living a life you choose • silence your inner frenemy and shield yourself from self-criticism • carve out time each morning to start your day empowered, inspired, and ready to rule • create a life you truly, totally f*cking LOVE This is the book Tara wished someone had given her and it is the book many of us desperately need: a candid, hysterical, addictively readable, practical guide to growing up (no matter where you are in life) and learning to love yourself in a non-throw-up-in-your-mouth-it's-so-cheesy way.

    Phantom Road: Tales of Travel and Terror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 230min
    There were six of them in total, more than had been present in the bar (not that it mattered, they would have rounded up others, I was sure). The important thing is that it was them — the MAGA crew — of that I had little doubt. Three of them were crowded into the cab while three others rode in the payload — all of them wearing crudely-stitched burlap hoods — and each brandishing some form of weapon, whether that meant a pistol or a rifle or a rusty pitchfork. The truck, meanwhile, was right out of central casting — I’d seen others like it in the red states I’d already passed through. You’ve seen them too: those jacked-up tanks with the huge tires and pig-ear smokestacks (their way of saying “fuck you” to the environmentalists), and the twin flags crackling in their payloads — usually an American and a “Don’t Tread on Me,” but sometimes a bona fide Confederate Southern cross, which is what this one had, along with one I couldn’t clearly see. All I can say for certain is that the men in the back put down their weapons as I watched and appeared to fiddle with something in the payload — I really couldn’t say because I had to look away in order to focus on the road.Meanwhile it didn’t exactly surprise me to see that I — we — were going about 90 miles-per-hour — the fastest I’d ever traveled in a moving vehicle, and a speed at which the Camry had become dangerously unstable. I thought then of my decision when I was young to never own a firearm, and laughed a little at my own expense. Only then (and how I’d managed to not think of it until that instant remains a mystery) did it finally occur to me: my bloody phone was right there on the passenger seat!The truck’s engine roared and its flags crackled as I snatched the thing up and dialed 911, putting it on speaker so that I might better focus on the road, not to mention re-grip the wheel firmly in both hands.A moment later it came: “911, what’s the address of your emergency?"I stammered and ungekürzt.

    Grand Hotel
    GRAND HOTEL is a rock band from Portland, Maine whose tendency to mix solid grooves, four-part harmonies and pop hooks with a bit of an edge has already gained them a strong following. The band is anchored by the drumming of Aaron LaChance, who also serves as the band's producer, tightened up by bassist Jason Elvin, the band's manager, and filled out and colored in by lead guitarist Glen Capen and singer/guitarist Kyle Gervais. The band started in August of 2008 and released an EP the following year consisting of six songs produced and mixed by Noah Cole (engineer on The Cambiata's self titled release). The disc was named the #2 EP of 2009 by the Portland Phoenix. GRAND HOTEL was a part of WCYY's "Summer Camp" in August of 2009 and were inducted into the "Class of 2009," a concert series put on by WCYY Spinout to honor four bands that have successfully broken into the Portland music scene in that year. GRAND HOTEL was nominated for "Best Rock Act" in the Portland Phoenix in May 2010 . Members of GRAND HOTEL have played with the Against Me!, Murder by Death, Rustic Overtones, Sparks the Rescue, The Leftovers, As Fast As, brenda, Metal Feathers, Lost on Liftoff, Twisted R ROCK THE SCENE WITH KYLE GERVAIS (of Grand Hotel). Safe to say, great performers and musicians should be extremely memorable. Kyle Gervais is easily memorable and one of the best frontmen in the music scene. From his fiery stage presence to his fiery off-stage presence (have you ever seen him in a passionate conversation about something? Oh, mama!), Gervais is someone you will remember when you watch him do his stuff. He's the real deal. Gervais cut his teeth early with two high school bands and by the time he broke out with Cosades (he was 19), he was fronting one of the most original local acts we'd seen in years. He loves music of all kinds. He listens to more music than anyone I know in town, easily. (I'm pretty close though!) His name has grown from some of the legendary Clash of the Titans performances he's given. Right now, his current band Grand Hotel is one of the hardest-working bands around. From Nateva to the soon to be Kah-Bang Festival, to radio to press to TV to the clubs, Gervais and Grand Hotel are out there doing it right and getting in your face. That's what 'Kage' does. He's in your face and trust me you'll love him for it. YOU'RE ORIGINALLY FROM UP NORTH. SO, WHAT WAS IT LIKE GROWING UP AND STAYING IN TOUCH WITH MUSIC BEING SO FAR REMOVED FROM BIGGER CITIES? I grew up in Fort Kent and then moved to Saco in the middle of seventh grade. Oddly enough, it wasn't that big of a deal back then. During the time I was up north, MTV still played videos and I was able to at least be exposed to popular music that wasn't on one of the only Top 40 stations in the area. 120 Minutes was still on so I got to hear some of the stuff that was a little under the radar, too. Plus, I was reading Spin and Rolling Stone from a young age so if I wasn't hearing it, I was at least able to search it out. YOU HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF MUSIC TASTES, FROM POP TO ROCK TO INDIE TO DANCE TO HIP HOP. WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON WHAT'S GOOD MUSIC? Good music is whatever is able to hold my attention while it's going on. I don't really discriminate when it comes to styles because if it's well done, it's good. Doesn't matter what it is. YOU WERE IN A COUPLE OF SERIOUS BANDS AT AN EARLY AGE, GLORY TRAP AND THE CHECK. YOU WERE PRETTY YOUNG THEN. YOU SEEMED TO MUSICALLY GROW UP AND WORK OUT THE INFLUENCES QUICKLY, DIDN'T YOU? Glory Trap was formed as soon as I hit high school and had Miek (from the Holy Boys Danger Club) on guitar. We definitely wore our influences on our sleeve back then. Doing things your own way, making things your own, it tends to last a little longer and mean a little more. WHAT LOCAL BANDS, IF ANY, INFLUENCED YOU AS YOU CARVED OUT YOUR OWN NICHE IN THIS SCENE? I don't know if there are any that influenced me musically, but certainly Rustic Overtones, Even All Out, Jeremiah Freed, and 6gig influenced me to try and play music and be in a band and have the opportunity to be heard around town. WHAT LOCAL BANDS TODAY ARE YOU BIG ABOUT? I'm really good friends with the guys in The Lucid. I grew up with half of them up north and they are always doing interesting stuff. We just played with Brenda and The Mallett Brothers at the Nateva Festival and they both just put out great records. Holy Boys, Dead Man's Clothes, Jacob and the House of Fire, Murcielago and a new band called Nice Places. COSADES IS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE BANDS WE'VE SEEN IN MUSIC SCENE IN YEARS. WHEN YOU STARTED THE BAND, IT WAS DEMOS DONE BY YOU AND YOUR BROTHER THEN TURNED INTO A FOUR PIECE. IT WAS TOUGH TO EXPLAIN THAT BAND, WHICH IS REFRESHING. EXPLAIN COSADES AND WHAT YOU HOPED TO DO WITH THEM. Cosades started with my brother Chris on drums. It was just a way for me to get some of the songs I had recorded released. As it developed into a band, I think the game plan was to write catchy rock songs, or at least our idea of catchy rock songs, in unexpected ways. I think we were all just trying to challenge ourselves as players and songwriters but still have fun rocking out. We would just get together and try to feed off of each other's energy, because we were coming from such different musical places. WHEN YOU PUT COSADES TO BED, YOU SEEMED PRETTY SERIOUS ABOUT STAYING AWAY FROM MUSIC. HOW DID THE FORMER MEMBERS OF ALIAS GRACE CONVINCE YOU TO COME OUT OF A SHORT RETIREMENT TO START GRAND HOTEL WITH THEM? They really just called and asked me to sing with them. Being serious about quitting and actually wanting to do it are two completely different things. I KNOW YOU'RE A BIG FAN OF SEEING LIVE SHOWS. WHAT MAKES A GREAT PERFORMANCE TO YOU AND WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE LIVE ACTS TO WATCH? A great performance is when I can't look away from the stage, and if I do, it's because I'm rocking out or dancing. The National put on one of the best shows I've seen recently. The set The Flaming Lips put on at Nateva was the fastest two-hour show I had ever seen, very entertaining. Two bands that I will always check out when they are in the area: Interpol and Deerhunter. YOUR GREAT PERFORMANCES HAVE EXTENDED TO THE CLASH OF THE TITANS STAGE. YOUR PERFORMANCES AS IGGY POP, SUPERTRAMP, BLUR AND EVEN JANET JACKSON HAVE BEEN AMONG THE ALL-TIME BEST. I guess I just like an excuse to play dress-up, or dress-down in some cases. It has definitely helped get my original music out to an audience that probably wouldn't have otherwise paid attention. The only bummer is when people come see Grand Hotel expecting me to be half-naked, smearing peanut butter all over my chest (like Iggy Pop). It's like, 'No, that was last week!' WHAT COULD MAKE THIS LOCAL MUSIC SCENE BETTER IN YOUR OPINION? The best thing that could happen to this scene is if there were even more outlets for local music to be heard, and if more people started paying attention to the great bands that are right in their backyard. You have Spinout on WCYY, Charlie Gaylord has Greetings from Area Code 207 on WBLM, WCSH does the 207 program, but that's only so much and if you're not dialed in at that particular time, you miss it. There's a dedicated circle of people who are aware of the bands that are active in town, but for everybody else it's a hard sell. It shouldn't be, there are artists here that are just as good, if not better, than anywhere else. It's just a matter of getting people to hear it. (Mark Curdo is a DJ on 94.3 WCYY and the owner of a record label, Labor Day Records, based in Portland. Mark is not only a board member of the Portland Music Foundation, but he loves the Boston Celtics, Ginger Ale and Jack Lemmon movies. He is a weekly Daily Sun music columnist.)
