Folly's Bride: Brides of Montclair, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 321min
Sara! You must come out! You're wanted downstairs right away, Lucie hissed through the keyhole on the locked bedroom door. "Stepmama is furious and Father has sent word that he's coming home early from the Exchange. She says he's in a rage over what you've done!" "I haven't done anything! It's not my fault if those two hotheads decide to fight a duel!" came her sister's indignant voice from the other side of the door. "Oh, Sara, please!" Lucie pleaded. "Father will be here any minute. You must do as you're told!" She shook her head and sighed ruefully, "You're stubborn, Sara." "No," denied Sara. "I am strong." Thus begins the bittersweet story of beautiful Sara Leighton, the headstrong heroine of Folly's Bride, the fourth in the Brides of Montclair series. As with her predecessors, happiness does not come painlessly to this newest bride of Montclair. Her unusual beauty and her independent spirit place her on a collision course with romance, frustration, disappointment, and finally, true love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Renee Raudman.

The Uninvited: Krewe of Hunters, Second Krewe, Book 4, Hörbuch, Digital, 254min
The year 1777: In the throes of the Revolutionary War, Landon Mansion is commandeered by British Lord “Butcher” Bedford. He stabs Lucy Tarleton - who spurned his king and his love - leaving her to die in her father’s arms. Now: After the day’s final tour, docent Allison Leigh makes her rounds while locking up…and finds a colleague slumped over Bedford’s desk, impaled on his own replica bayonet. Resident ghosts may be the stock-in-trade of stately Philadelphia homes, but Allison - a noted historian - is indignant at the prospect of “ghost hunters” investigating this apparent murder. Agent Tyler Montague knows his hauntings and his history. But while Allison is skeptical of the newcomer, a second mysterious murder occurs. Has “Butcher” Bedford resurfaced? Or is there another malevolent force at work in Landon Mansion? Wary, yet deeply attracted, Allison has to trust in Tyler and work with him to discover just what uninvited guest - dead or alive - has taken over the house. Or their lives could become history!

The Kingdom of Absurdities , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min
America 2013: All the madness, insanity and absurdity we witness every day in politics, journalism and personal life began in the laboratories of humanities departments in academia, when English professors, based upon their ability to read, decided they were experts in EVERYTHING and unleashed the virus of Political Correctness on an unsuspecting nation. Wielding the unholy trinity of race, class and gender, academics seized power not only in academia but in journalism and politics as well, creating our current dystopia, The Kingdom Of Absurdities. Return with us now to those days with Chase, a grad student in English at The University of Southern Arizona (U of SA), as he attempts to lead a one-person revolution against the triple-headed hydra of Political Correctness as it crawls its way out of academia into the USA. Savagely funny, indignant and politically incorrect, The Kingdom of Absurdities is an all-too-timely warning against not only letting the lunatics take over the asylum, but letting them loose to run the rest of the world as well. ungekürzt.

Catch-2014: Why "Yes" Lost the Referendum and Why, if We're Not Careful, We Might End Up Doing It Again , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 168min
Jack Foster combines modern political history with indignant polemic in this impassioned account of the failed 2014 Scottish independence referendum. In an attempt to understand the reasons for that defeat, Catch-2014 takes on some uncomfortable truths and attempts to slay a few sacred cows in the process. From media manipulation to corporate intervention, party politics to poor strategy, Foster examines the failures at the very heart of “Yes” Scotland, as well as how the Unionists managed successfully - against all the odds - to capture the campaign narrative. How does psychology explain our natural aversion to change? Our instinct is to reject information which conflicts with our existing world view; how, therefore, can Scotland overcome this to ensure its future as an independent country? This is not an audiobook to make you feel warm and fuzzy about the glory days of Scotland’s independence movement. There is much to be proud of, but this audiobook tries to understand where we went wrong, and how we can ensure it doesn’t happen again. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jack Foster.

Upon the Dull Earth and Other Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 258min
When an interviewer asked Phillip K. Dick “What is the most important quality for a writer to have?” he replied “A sense of indignation... A writer writes because it's his response to the world. It's a natural process, like respiration... The capacity for indignation is the most important thing for a creative person. Not the aesthetic capacity but the capacity for indignation... And especially indignation at the treatment afforded other people. To see some of the things that are going on in the world and to feel indignant...That is the basis of the writer.” Whatever it was that stimulated his creative juices, we are the lucky beneficiaries, as demonstrated in this collection of five stories, all first published in 1954. In “Exhibit Piece” a long-suffering museum worker becomes a little too attached to his display of mid-20th century lifestyle. In “Upon the Dull Earth” a young man refuses to let go of his soul mate, and he creates a chain reaction that he couldn’t have anticipated. In “Progeny” one man’s idea of how to raise a child is challenged by new, more scientific techniques. “The Last of the Masters” explores a post-apocalyptic world, where anarchists don’t just occupy Wall Street, they occupy the entire planet. Finally, in “Breakfast at Twilight”, a family awakes to find theirs is the only house left on their street, and they are forced to make the most important decision of their lives. ungekürzt.

Slut Wife, Happy Life: Naughty Wife Tales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 282min, (USK 18)
In this volume, I explore all sorts of wifely depravity, from wives showing an interest in the bullies that harass their husbands to wives who take the demands of political correctness more seriously than their own wedding vows. Some people actually explode with anger when they come across these tales. I see all sorts of indignant comments online. Some can't handle the idea of wives cheating on their husbands, which I find a quaint objection. I've talked about this at length, but basically, nothing is more sexually titillating than transgression. So I am no stranger to controversy. In this volume, I expect to hear new objections. I have re-approached a topic I call social justice porn in which husbands are cuckolded by wives in the name of social justice. Many on the left will object to this, but I insist that these ideas need to be explored further. I was amazed at first when the alt-right started using cuckold related insults like cuckservative to attack their enemies. As though being tolerant of immigration was equivalent to wanting strangers to f--k your wife. What a massive, collective Freudian slip on the part of these poor Trump supporters. They are wearing their fears of betrayal, humiliation, and impotence on their sleeves. But I am happy to go down that rabbit hole and examine cuckoldry in this light. I am in search of the stories that makes a hotwife and her cuckold cum. Political correctness be damned. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emma Woods.

Unwell Women
'Seamlessly melding scholarship with passion, Unwell Women is the definition of unputdownable' Telegraph'A richly detailed, wide-ranging and enraging history... Unwell Women is not just a compelling investigation, but an essential one' Observer'A passionate and indignant history' The Times'A searing, brilliant investigation, an intricate and urgent book on how women's health has constantly been misunderstood and miscast throughout history' Kate Williams'One of the most important books of our generation' Fern Riddell'UNWELL WOMEN is a powerful and fascinating book that takes an unsparing look at how women's bodies have been misunderstood and misdiagnosed for centuries.' Lindsey Fitzharris'We are taught that medicine is the art of solving our body's mysteries. And as a science, we expect medicine to uphold the principles of evidence and impartiality. We want our doctors to listen to us and care for us as people, but we also need their assessments of our pain and fevers, aches and exhaustion to be free of any prejudice about who we are, our gender, or the colour of our skin. But medicine carries the burden of its own troubling history. The history of medicine, of illness, is a history of people, of their bodies and their lives, not just physicians, surgeons, clinicians and researchers. And medical progress has always reflected the realities of a changing world, and the meanings of being human.'In Unwell Women Elinor Cleghorn unpacks the roots of the perpetual misunderstanding, mystification and misdiagnosis of women's bodies, and traces the journey from the 'wandering womb' of ancient Greece, the rise of witch trials in Medieval Europe, through the dawn of Hysteria, to modern day understandings of autoimmune diseases, the menopause and conditions like endometriosis. Packed with character studies of women who have suffered, challenged and rewritten medical orthodoxy - and drawing on her own experience of un-diagnosed Lupus disease - this is a ground-breaking and timely exposé of the medical world and woman's place within it.- Shop: buecher

The Coup, Hörbuch, Digital, 101min
This play deals with an incident which occurred early in the history of the colony of New South Wales, Australia - the so-called "Rum Rebellion".New South Wales struggled as a new British penal colony, facing drought, famine, social incoherence, and the development of an intransigent military cartel which did not lose any opportunity to exploit the circumstances. Together with an entrepreneurial landowner society led by John Macarthur, they made the task of the Governor, William Bligh (of The Bounty) very difficult. The resulting crescendo of conflict boiled over into Australia's only military coup, in which the full forces of the New South Wales Corps marched up and arrested Bligh, holding him under house arrest for a year before allowing him to set sail from Sydney Harbour.The stage play has an indigenous narrator, the bemused and somewhat indignant Tedbury, whose contact with the invading community does not end well.As far as possible, the play respects actual historical facts and attempts to illustrate a recurring pattern of conflicts and motivations of individuals in power recognizable even in the present day.

Watching Carmella: Seduced by her Green-eyed Coach: Sex Games: The Olympic Events You Won't See on Television, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min, (USK 18)
Watching Carmella tells what happens when green-eyed Coach Hernandez is charged with being chaperone to the gorgeous, young Latin hockey star Carmella. Carmella and Milana's biggest mistake, when they eventually awaken, is to head back to their room together. They have missed the morning team meeting for the Uruguayan Olympic field hockey team, and when Coach Gloria Hernandez spots them together, she puts two and two together. Both young women look exhausted, and they have not even showered! They are certainly too tired to play in the match against Japan that day. Angry and indignant, Coach Hernandez announces they will be fined the equivalent of $2,000 each ,and she would be moving into Carmella's room that evening. "If the mice are going to play," as she puts it, "then the cat cannot afford to stay away!" Carmella, 20, acceptesthese disciplinary measures without complaint. Later, confined to her room, she finds out that Uruguay has lost their qualifying game that day, and she knows that the absence of Milana, 28, and herself damaged the team. All she wants to do now is get some sleep and try to make things up to her teammates in the following game. So it is with some relief that Carmella retires to bed at eight o'clock, sure in the knowledge that Milana's subversive and exciting influence has been forcibly removed, with Coach Hernandez standing guard like some kind of old-fashioned chaperone. Yet for some reason, Carmella wakes in the night and opens her eyes. Immediately she shuts them tight! She cannot quite believe what she has seen. Across the room Coach Hernandez is lying wide awake in her bed, her large eyes staring intently at Carmella! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Beverly Klondike.
