    Boneshaker: Terran Scout Fleet, Book Two , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 462min
    Marine First Lieutenant Jacob Brown is bored.For months he's been sitting around on an alien planet, waiting for command to recall his scout team so they could rest and be re-outfitted. The team went through hell during their previous mission, losing both their commanding officer and their ship. For now, Jacob was acting CO of Scout Team Obsidian and their ship was a broken down old surplus combat shuttle they'd stolen from narco-smugglers on a planet called Niceen-3.When command finally does reach out, however, it isn't to order Obsidian home for some much needed r&r. Instead, they are being reactivated and sent out into the contested space of the recently conquered Eshquarian Empire to track down a single Terran cruiser called the Eagle's Talon.The Talon's captain has gone rogue and is operating within a fleet of ships bent on open rebellion against the quadrant's only remaining superpower. If that ship is discovered within the rebel fleet, Earth will bear the brunt of the ConFed's reprisal. Jacob's team is in a race against time to locate the missing ship and her rogue captain so that a Navy strike force can swoop in and reclaim her...or destroy her. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    High Ground , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    Margaret’s father died in a car crash near his coastal Maine summer home. She has come to retrieve his dog and belongings and stepped into a war for this strange little town’s soul.In a once grand mansion next door she finds Esther Brandt, a sweet, frail old woman living alone in terror in the huge, darkened house. Esther tells her she is an EMF hypersensitive who suffers pain in the presence of electromagnetic fields from radio, TV, or even electric wires. She tells Margaret that she is under nightly attack by searing radiation of an unknown source.Unsure if Esther is insane, confused or tormented, Margaret turns to the townspeople for help but finds none. Esther’s hated robber-baron father had ground the people of this town to dust in his long-closed mills. However, one woman confides, "Esther may be crazed, but she is not crazy”.Margaret learns that a 21st century robber-baron has begun night test flights of a powerful new weapon from a reactivated World War II airfield nearby, directly over the Brandt estate, unaware that anyone still lives in the dark, decrepit mansion below.Like a Michael Crichton novel set in Stephen King's fictional town of Castle Rock, High Ground is a collision between the technologies of the 20th and 21st centuries and the struggle between entrenched long-suffering hatred and the powerful human need to forgive. ungekürzt.

    Pacific Time on Target: Memoirs of a Marine Artillery Officer, 1943-1945 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 339min
    As a married man and Stanford graduate student nearing thirty, Christopher Donner would likely have qualified for an exemption from the draft. Like most of his generation, however, he responded promptly to the call to arms after Pearl Harbor. His wartime experiences in the Pacific Theater were seared into his consciousness, and in early 1946 he set out to preserve those memories while they were still fresh. During the spring of 1943 Donner joined the Marines' 9th defense Battalion and saw his first combat service in the campaign for New Georgia in the Solomon Islands. With the end of Japanese resistance in the Central Solomons, Donner's battalion was dispatched in June 1944 to serve in the liberation of the U.S. territory of Guam. When his unit was reactivated and its veterans sent home, Donner was not so fortunate. In early 1945, Donner was reassigned to the 11th Marines, the 1st Marine Division's field artillery. His new commander decreed that Donner would serve as a field artillery forward observer just in time for the invasion of Okinawa. Teeming with close calls and near misses, frank yet sensitive observations of the brutality visited on Okinawa's civilians, and the horrors of frontline combat, Donner's account of his service with the Old Breed on Okinawa forms the core of his memoir. Miraculously unscathed by the Okinawa bloodbath, Donner was en route to California for his first opportunity for leave when he learned of the atomic bombs and the war's end. Besides providing a candid, moving contemporary record of the combat experiences of a Marine Corps officer, Pacific Time on Targetis an invaluable account of the harrowing life of an artillery forward observer, as few of these men survived to tell their stories. ungekürzt.

    Run for Something: A Real-Talk Guide to Fixing the System Yourself , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 421min
    From the email marketing director of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the cofounder of Run for Something comes an essential and inspiring guide that encourages and educates young progressives to run for local office, complete with contributions from elected officials and political operatives. You've been depressed since the night of November 8, 2016. You wore black to work the next morning. You berated yourself for your complacency during the Obama years. You ranted on Twitter. You deleted Twitter. You sent emails to your friends saying, "How can we get more involved?" You listened to Pod Save America. You knitted a pussyhat. You showed up to the Women's March on Washington. You protested Donald Trump's executive orders. You called your congressman. You called other people's congressmen. You set up monthly donations to Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. You reactivated Twitter (begrudgingly). Here's what you do next: Run for something. To be specific: Run for local office and become the change you want to see in the world. Forget about Congress. Forget about the Senate. Focus on the offices that get the real sh*t done: state legislatures, city councils, school boards, and mayors. It doesn't matter if you're not a white man over 60 with an Ivy League law degree. (In fact, it's better if you're not!) It doesn't matter if you don't understand the first thing about running for office, or never even imagined you would. That's what this book is for. Amanda Litman, experienced in hard-fought state and national election campaigns, is here to give you guidance as well as wisdom and insight from elected officials and political operatives she interviewed for this book. There are half a million elected officials in the United States. Why can't you be one of them? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Candace Thaxton, Roger Casey, Fred Sanders, Amanda Carlin.

    Pineapple Grenade: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 663min
    Miami has always set the weirdness bar, but Serge Storms is back in action and ready to pole vault over it. First, there's the media frenzy over the “Hollow Man”, a gutless corpse found on the beach. And yet people think it’s perfectly normal to find dead sharks in the middle of downtown boulevards - or to spot black mushroom clouds behind the airport. Then there are the roving bands of carjackers who suddenly find themselves inconvenienced. Not to mention people lurking outside sex-addiction meetings. Could this be the work of Serge, that eccentric trivialista and one-man vigilante? And why is he extensively photographing foreign consulates right before the critically important Summit of the Americas comes to town? Does it have something to do with Serge’s declaration to tell his ever-stoned sidekick, Coleman, that he’s decided to become a spy? Of course he’s not working for anyone yet, so Serge is content to just spy for himself until he shows up on radar and his talents are appreciated. His ace in the hole? Serge’s newly revamped Secret Master Plan! His spider senses tell him something big is about to go down in Miami, and it just might involve the recently reactivated CIA cell operating in the same historic building that plotted the overthrow of Fidel Castro. The intelligence community isn't amused, and they want answers: How did Serge and Coleman get so cozy with the president of a banana republic? Who is the femme fatale with a heart of gold - and national pride? Why is the congressman in favor of the latest oil spill? When did everyone in the city forget how to drive? And what about the Most Laid Man in Miami? Meanwhile, a mysterious international man of intrigue is shipping military arms around the clock, in competition with clandestine flights of souvenirs, causing the office of Homeland Security to take measures against people who aren’t scared enough. The crossfire of chaos continu ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Oliver Wyman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/harp/002737/bk_harp_002737_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Primary Objective: Theta Warrior Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min
    The gang wars in Chicago makes it a war zone. A Navy SEAL's ultimate mind control training is reactivated, and he is off on a mission no one can stop. He is on a nonstop program to eliminate the gang problem by the very violence they use, but mush better. A one-man killing machine trained by the world's best. On the other side of the tracks, a truck pulled up, its lights shining in Jerry’s eyes. His car purred with the sound of ocean waves from the tape. The white lights of the truck suddenly flashed as rail cars passed, and the red lights sent warning signals.First thinking that the reflections in his car resembled a disco, he focused on the tape, the visual show encompassing him. He forgot the pain in his leg, he forgot how close he was to home. Halfway between sleep and awareness, like dozing on the Interstate with only stars and dividers to keep a driver’s attention, he stared someplace in between the flashing white and red lights, hearing only the sounds of wave after wave hitting an invisible shore.He felt a familiar mode of relaxation, something he’d been trained to do in the service, so this wasn’t new to his brain, but it sure was a welcome stranger. Mentally, he felt alert...aware. But the flashing light took on the effect of a strobe light, pulsing deep to the back of his brain.When Jerry snapped to consciousness, he was alert to the voice of the president. He listened intently to what seemed like instructions. In fact, he knew these were instructions. Somehow, he’d been called back on a mission. Somehow, they knew he was here on this empty road. He looked where the tape should have played while he listened to the president say, “We have a war we must declare.” The tape had ejected at the end, which they were built to do even on a manual playback recorder. The president continued, “Not only abroad does this war rage, but here in this nation, on our streets, and it is up to you, to me, to us all to make sure we win this war ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Blue Skies and a Clean Getaway
    Blue Skies And A Clean Getaway: The 90's are back with a vengeance and they've brought with them all the trappings of the 80's and the 00's that were worth holding onto. Inspired girl/guy vocals over often blistering pop leaning guitar rock. These lucky 13 songs will take you around the block and back with their inspired and rocking rockness. ROCK! The first collection of original tunes from this NW power trio. They've thrown in some Cheap Trick and a little Band just so you know where they're coming from. The Valiant Arms: A Brief Chronology Eugene 1996 Diane (then Beck)-of Oswald Five-O-and Jonn Lunsford and Lisa Jackson of the Crabs record a single under the name "22 Sparkling Smiles" with Rob Jones in his garage. That single becomes the 10th release on Rob's budding Jealous Butcher label. Portland 2005 Sweetly haunted by the songs of the Crabs over the years, Rob Jones gets the idea to release a split 7" with him doing his favorite Crab song on one side and inviting Diane (now Rios) to do the same on the other. To assist, he recruits some other old Eugene friends, Kevin Walters (ex Soda Jerk guitar slinger) and Rachel Blumberg (drummer extraordinaire and overall shining star). And one fine spring morning Diane, Rachel, Rob, Kevin, and their engineering pal Adam Selzer, meet up at Type Foundry-Diane and Kevin making the trip up from Eugene and Salem respectively. They effortlessly learn and record six songs and the project grows from a 7" split single to a collaborative 10" record. They dub their glorious union The Valiant Arms and vow to rock again. Portland (a year or so later) Diane moves up to Portland, gives Rob a call, and The Valiant Arms are reactivated with a vengeance. Unfortunately, Kevin and Rachel must bow out, Kevin tied down by job/life commitments in Salem and Rachel busy trotting the globe with the likes of M.Ward and Bright Eyes. But mammoth drum-pounder and all around rock n' roll renaissance dude, Eric Jensen, steps into the breach, transforming TVA into a full tilt power pop trio. But the collaborative spirit does not die-rumors fly that the band's first album (as a three piece) will have very special guests-and Rachel agrees to stay on as the band's spiritual adviser. What about the Crab's tribute that started it all? Rob, ever the master producer, enlisted some more friends to contribute their ample talents to the project: Derek Trost played some drums and accordion, Tony Moreno added some bass and banjo, Cory Grey played some trumpet, Eric Clampitt played the pedal steel, and Adam Selzer provided a dash of mandolin. The final product is JB-060-'Swallow The Sea: The Songs Of The Crabs,' a beautifully hand silk-screened limited edition (51 copies!) lathe cut 10'. It also appears as a less limited run of specially packaged CDs, as well as a limitless digital download available soon from your favorite digital retailer. And don't forget to come out and hear the sweet strains of The Valiant Arms at a gin joint near you! Viva la Crabs! Viva la Valiant Arms!
