Hitchhikers

Once Lured: A Riley Paige Mystery, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min

Women are turning up dead on a lone stretch of highway in Delaware. Some go missing for an inexplicable length of time, while others are turning up dead, their bodies left out for display in bizarre and mysterious ways. When a pattern is discovered, it becomes clear to the FBI that a twisted serial killer is on the hunt - luring girls in devious schemes - and that he won't stop killing, ever. The FBI, desperate to crack the case, urges Special Agent Riley Paige to take it on. But the brilliant Riley, still reeling from past cases, has finally found peace in her home life, and is determined to help her daughter April get back on her feet. Yet when the murders become too disturbing, too urgent - and when her former partner Bill implores her - Riley finally realizes she can't say no. Riley's hunt leads her deep into the unsettling world of hitchhikers, of drifters, of women that no one else cares for. When she discovers that several women are being kept alive and that there is still time to save them, she realizes she will stop at nothing, obsessing over the case and driving herself to the brink. Yet Riley realizes her own life is falling apart, and her own fragile psyche can barely handle the strain. In a frantic race against time, she will have to plunge deep into the killer's mind to save these women - and to save herself - from collapse. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elaine Wise.

Gut Feelings

Why the microbiome--our rich inner ecosystem of microorganisms--may hold the keys to human health.We are at the dawn of a new scientific revolution. Our understanding of how to treat and prevent diseases has been transformed by knowledge of the microbiome the rich ecosystem of microorganisms in and on every human. These microbial hitchhikers may hold the keys to human health. In Gut Feelings, Alessio Fasano and Susie Flaherty show why we must go beyond the older, myopic view of microorganisms as our enemies to a broader understanding of the microbiome as a parallel civilization that we need to understand, respect, and engage with for the benefit of our own health.Recent advances in understanding the microbiome and its role in human health dovetail with the development of personalized or precision medicine to create treatments and prevention programs targeted to the molecular imprint of an individual. Fasano and Flaherty explore the microbiome's part in such diseases as gut inflammatory disorders, obesity, neurological conditions, and cancer, and they explain new research in prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, and psychobiotics. They also discuss the microbiome and immune function, including a possible role in COVID-19 treatment.By simultaneously expanding our perspective to encompass large datasets and multiple factors in human health, and narrowing our focus to identify the individual communities in the human microbiome, we will enlarge and perhaps reinvent our understanding of how to combat disease and maintain health.

Netwars: Der Code 5

Willkommen im Deep Web. Dem Ort, wo (fast) absolute Anonymität herrscht. Wenn man sich an die Regeln hält. Bei der National Cyber Crime Unit versucht man fieberhaft herauszufinden, wer Rebecca MacDonald gefangen hält und in welche dunklen Geschäfte die Übeltäter verwickelt sind. Für Scott Mitchell ist dies im Moment nebensächlich, denn Nightshade hat Mitchells geheime Hacker-Identität - Strider - den Medien zugespielt und ihm die Schuld an allem gegeben. Mitchell muss einen Weg finden, die Verdachtsmomente von sich abzulenken. Irgendwer muss dafür den Sündenbock spielen, und Mitchell hat schon jemanden im Visier. Zur gleichen Zeit beschließt Rebecca, an ein Bett gefesselt und an diverse Maschinen angeschlossen, einen Fluchtversuch zu wagen. M. Sean Coleman begann als Scriptwriter für Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Online. Seitdem hat er Beiträge für Msn, O2, Sony Pictures, Fox, die BBC und Channel 4 geschrieben und produziert, für die er mehrfach mit Preisen ausgezeichnet wurde.

Serial Uncut , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 244min

Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking? #1: Don't go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy. #2: Don't pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be certifiably crazy. So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Crazy #2? When Blake Crouch (DESERT PLACES, ABANDON) and Jack Kilborn (AFRAID, CHERRY BOMB), face-off, the result is SERIAL, a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a deeply twisted version of an "After School Special," SERIAL is the single most persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides. Beyond a thrilling piece of horrifying suspense, SERIAL is also a groundbreaking experiment in literary collaboration. Kilborn wrote the first part. Crouch wrote the second. And they wrote the third together over email in 100-word exchanges, not aware of each other's opening section. All bets were off, and may the best psychopath win. F. Paul Wilson says, "SERIAL reads just like a Crouch or Kilborn novel: Full speed ahead, no flinching, no blinking, no brakes." Along with the reinsertion of additional material cut from the original version, SERIAL UNCUT also has a vastly expanded beginning and ending, including an extended section that originally appeared in the novella TRUCK STOP by J.A. Konrath. If you can handle horrific thrills, proceed at your own risk. But if you suffer from anxiety attacks, nervous disorders, insomnia, nightmares or night terrors, heart palpitations, stomach problems, or are of an overly sensitive nature, you should read something else instead. The authors are in no way responsible for any lost sleep, missed work, failed relationships, or difficulty in coping with life after you have read SERIAL UNCUT. They will not pay for any therapy you may require as a r ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Lawlor, Angela Dawe.
