Fatal Sunset: Deadly Vacations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 196min
No one ever believes their dream vacation can instantly turn into a tragic nightmare...until it's too late. Some tourists vanish without a trace. Over 170 people have disappeared from cruise ships around the world since 1995, several under very suspicious circumstances. Others have their lives senselessly stolen, like the 8-year-old boy sucked into an unprotected pool drain at a major resort, leaving his mother crying out his name as security staff held her at gunpoint. Or 22-year old Nolan Webster, denied proper medical care after being pulled unconscious from a Cancun resort pool, only to have his dead body left in plain view for hours and his parents billed for his room. Vacations are meant to be joyous and fun. Sometimes terrible things happen unexpectedly. A parasailing newlywed plummets hundreds of feet to her death on the last day of her honeymoon when her harness snaps in midair. Hikers make a fatal plunge on an improperly-marked Kauai cliffside trail. And of course, there's every mother's nightmare: the disappearance of Natalee Holloway while on a high-school graduation trip to Aruba with members of her senior class. Fatal Sunset, the latest exposé from award-winning and best-selling author Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff is not meant to do for vacations what Jaws did for beaches. "I'm not trying to scare you from going on a trip. I'm revealing these hidden true stories in order to make sure you understand what danger lurks in between the sun and sand and that perfect getaway," explains Nemcoff, the writer behind Kindle best sellers The Death of Osama Bin Laden and Where's My F*cking Latte?, an insiders look at the world of Hollywood celebrity assistants that was not only featured on Access Hollywood but has spent over four years straight at the top of Amazon's top-selling chart in the categories of "Television" and "Movies".

Where's My F-cking Latte? (and Other Stories About Being an Assistant in Hollywood) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 259min
Dirty little secrets.... Every movie and TV star has one. So does every agent and manager. Some producers and studio execs have two or even three. I'm talking about an assistant. Someone to answer your phones, pick up your dry cleaning. Someone to hide your drugs. Your assistant knows what you eat, who you're sleeping with, and what medications you're taking. They listen in on your phone calls. They are the eyes and ears of Hollywood...and occasionally they talk. Culled from dozens of interviews with former and current Hollywood assistants, Where's My F*cking Latte is a no-holds-barred insider's look at what really goes on behind Tinseltown's closed doors. ungekürzt.

An unstoppable assassin from Hell is on a mission to kill Earth's last living demon hunter before he can find the one artifact capable of opening a door between worlds. The Church of Infinity is a cult of demon hunters led by the prophet Ranajee who teaches that "Earth is Heaven for Demons", and that mankind's end will soon come at the hands of those denizens of Hell who walk among us in human form.

With every other Infinity follower murdered, Ian Augustine, the lone remaining demon hunter has become the hunted.

Diary of a Madman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min
Dear Diary, Today I slit the throat of a man named Carl Bishop.... What do you do when you can't stop yourself from killing those who you believe are the scum of society? When the inside information you're receiving about your targets is coming from a mysterious source seemingly inside of law enforcement? But more importantly, how do you know if you've gone insane? Diary of a Madman is a suspense-filled, splatterpunk symphony of hardcore violence and sex wrapped in a tight-as-nails noir narrative about loss of self. Told in a casual first person style, Diary of a Madman details one man's fixation with infamous serial killers such as John Wayne Gacy, Harv "The Hammer" Carignan, The Genessee River Killer, and Andrew Cunanan, and his obsession with catching the serial murderer known as the "Interstate Slasher". During the day, he hides behind his bland persona as a salesman but outside of the office politics he is very serious about his "hobby". However, as he kills more victims, his world begins to unravel around him, and what he finds on his murder and sex-fueled journey will shock you right to the very last minute. ungekürzt.

Infinity: The Complete Saga , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 641min
This audiobook compiles: The Church of Infinity and Infinity Rising. A demon hunter becomes the hunted when an unstoppable assassin from Hell comes to Earth on a mission to kill... Earth is heaven for demons... According to the prophet Ranajee, demons live among us in human form. They exploit man's vulnerability to place everyday people in a condition of suffering that exists right here on Earth. As more demons enter our world, this condition will never end until all of humankind is enslaved. Ranajee, however, is the pen name of a mysterious and seemingly ageless leader of a cult of demon hunters known as the Church of Infinity. It is their chosen task to eradicate, with extreme prejudice, those who endeavor each day to hasten the end of mankind. And when Ranajee gets his hands on a powerful artifact that could allow him to breach the borders of Hell, an unstoppable demon assassin is sent to wipe out all the members of the Church of Infinity once and for all. Now one last surviving demon hunter must escape from prison and go on the run. With the help of a conspiracy-theorist punker named Rachel, he goes on a search to track down this artifact in order to trade it for his life and save the human world from certain doom. ungekürzt.

Transistor Rodeo , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min
Whatever you do... don't let go! Bigger than the Super Bowl and World Cup combined! Transistor Rodeo, the world's first all-robot rodeo, travels to Hollywood, making its grand debut in a televised spectacle seen around the globe. But when a city-wide power failure causes a massive blackout in L.A., dozens of robot cowboys and android animals - including a life-size mechanical T-Rex - escape into the night! Now it's up to Cal Carpenter, a washed-up former rodeo star and his young son, Dean, to round up all the runaway robots before something very terrible happens. But when Cal and Dean get separated in the middle of a blacked-out city far from home and the robots' behavior takes a sinister turn, one dad has very little time to save both his boy and the entire city of Los Angeles. Author's note: Transistor Rodeo is a heartfelt adventure about a dad trying to do what's best for his son while redeeming the mess he's made of his life. At its core, it's a book about what it takes to "be a man". If you love pulse-pounding action, if you love robots, and especially if you love the idea of a robot T-Rex wrecking the city of L.A. you're going to absolutely love this book. This is a book that I think every dad and son should listen to together. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff.
