A Killing at Kinky Cottage: The Murder of Maxwell Garvie: Murder World: Scotland, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
This is the true story of a murder that took place in Scotland in 1968. It attracted huge media attention at the time: The crowds of people waiting for seats at the trial were so large that the police were forced to erect crush barriers. No wonder - this case had a beautiful woman accused of murder, bizarre sex, money, and a very odd love rectangle. Strangely, this case has since been largely forgotten. Perhaps the reason for this is that, in the most basic terms, there is no mystery here. We know who was murdered and who pulled the trigger, and we have a reasonable idea of why. What makes this case so fascinating is that the three people involved in the murder all gave very different accounts of what happened. Depending on whom you choose to believe, this could be the story of a fragile woman, traumatized by the incessant and bizarre sexual demands of her overbearing and violent husband, who sought solace in the company of a besotted young man and was then further traumatized and punished when he unexpectedly took bloody revenge on her husband. But it could also be the story of a ruthless and manipulative woman who used her sexuality to inveigle a naïve young man to commit murder on her behalf and then discarded him when he was of no further use to her. Or it could be none of these things.Let’s take a look at the fascinating case of the killing at kinky cottage and see if we can make sense of the evidence.

The Hammer of the Scots , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min
The problem with Scotland is that it's full of Scots! These words may have only been spoken by Patrick McGoohan, the actor who played Edward I in the film Braveheart and never uttered by the real Edward I of England, but they seem to establish quite well the sentiments he felt when discussing his neighbors to the north. Many have heard of the movie Braveheart or seen it, perhaps even read the book, which gives far more detail. Many have heard other stories of William Wallace, of Edward I, the "Longshanks", because of his incredibly long legs, of Wallace's possible inspiration of the character of Robin Hood, but how many know what really happened from 1290 to 1314 to require the Scots to fight for a country that already belonged to them? Scotland was eventually victorious in their war for independence, but what were the causes for the war, and why should an already independent nation need to reestablish its sovereignty? Scots today view Edward I as a cruel tyrant and cannot bear for his name to be spoken, some going so far as to write plays as a testament to his cruelty, while many English view him as a national hero. He was known as the "Hammer of the Scots" for his treatment and ferocity in his Scottish campaign. When his life was reexamined, by the English, for making a statue, Edward I was seen as having done what he did to Scotland to counter its rebelliousness; however, it was not taken into consideration that Scotland never rebelled since it had always been independent. No one has dared in the past century, however, to erect any new statues of Edward. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Patrick.

Going Down?: A Sex With Stranger Erotica Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 13min, (USK 18)
Samantha is having a horrible day. She snags her stockings at work and then, right outside of her apartment she slips and needs to change all of her clothes. Her husband is at work, so she can't even complain about it! To top it all off, the handsome Henry helps her up only to get stuck in an elevator with her. Her luck is about to change, though, because Samantha can be very resourceful when up against a wall...and elevator wall. Warning: This audiobook contains graphic depictions of sexual activity including sex with strangers, oral sex, and rough sex. It is intended for mature readers who won't be offended by explicit descriptions of sexual activity between consenting adults. Here is a preview: She looked at his broad chest, and felt her panties grow moist. Flushed, she tried to look anywhere but at him. The only trouble was, he didn't seem to mind looking right at her with those bright blue eyes. A few moments passed and the unlikely two stood motionless in the elevator, she slumped against the metal wall, and he standing erect and tense, examining her slender body. He was certain that she could hear his heart beating furiously as his thoughts ran wild and he considered pressing his body against hers, running his hand up her neck and jaw, and kissing her full lips. The tension was building and Samantha was unable to resist any longer. She arched her neck back and bit her lip, looking at him with the most innocent expression. He stepped toward her with catlike quickness and stood mere inches from her. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vivian Lee Fox.

Science Fiction Anthology: Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 162min
Four sci-fi short stories where you'll find good computers, people who regret their past, and an explanation for something you're familiar with. "Progeny" The first section had a series of six images that appeared grouped together. The furthest left showed a small creature that appeared to live in water. On its right was a similar creature, but it had legs and was crawling on the land. The remainder of the series showed progressive images showing the creature growing larger, and the appendages changing until it was fully erect and it was strikingly similar to the bone structure she had just looked at. "The Greatest Host" After the foraging, the host moved to a corner of the open area and there was another creature. The Mists were concerned that if their host were threatened or attacked, it would be terrible for them. They could all lose their lives at once. If the host sensed any threat, they would immediately use all of their ability to coerce the host back to the ship's location so they could download. "Circle is Closed" Commander Leopold Harnesy was standing on the bridge of the HSV#2. He was nervous; in fact, he was scared. The fate of HSV#1 was fresh in his mind. His ship's predecessor was sitting in the same exact location five years ago, and when its commander, Roberta Jenkins, engaged the faster than light drive, the ship disintegrated into trillions of molecules. It was obvious what had happened, the calculations were a little off. "Good Morning..." This short story is an interesting tie-in between science fiction and corporate culture, with a computer throwing in a twist. Anyone that has worked in a large company will share some of the issues that Robert deals with. In this story, instead of 'they' causing the problem, it is the computer sharing the assignment. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher M. Allport.

Portuguese Macau: The History and Legacy of the Autonomous Chinese Territory That Became the Last European Colony in Asia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 92min
The Portuguese explorer Jorge Álvares visited the Chinese coast in 1513 and was the first European to do so via the sea. Shortly after, more Portuguese visited around the Tunmen Inlet, which is believed to have been somewhere around the Pearl River Delta, and an establishment was set up there in 1514. At this time the Chinese knew nothing of the Portuguese other than their violent takeover of Malacca, a tributary to the Chinese Empire, so the Portuguese were treated with caution. In 1516, Rafael Perestrello was dispatched from Malacca to the islands of Guangdong where his people were well received. Due to this favorable reception, more ships and trading vessels were sent the following year under the command of Perez de Andrade. The fleet anchored on the island Shang-chuan and was at first viewed with suspicion, given the frequent raids from Japanese pirates around the Guangdong region.The Portuguese fleet that arrived in 1518 under the command of Andrade’s brother quickly turned to piracy, and the diplomatic relations between the Chinese and Portuguese deteriorated. At the time, an envoy was in Beijing, where they had been peacefully welcomed, but after hearing news of the actions of Portuguese (led by Simão de Andrade), the Chinese demanded of the visiting envoy that the Portuguese leave Malacca (since it was a tributary of China). Despite the laws and regulations regarding dealings with foreigners, by 1537 three settlements had been established in the nearby region: Shang-chuan, Lang-peh-kao (Lampaçao), and Macau, which was established entirely on lies told to the Chinese. The Portuguese had told officials that tribute to the Chinese (which was in fact normal trading goods) had become wrecked in storms and needed to be dried. The Portuguese were allowed to erect sheds and structures for this purpose at Macau, but numerous merchants established themselves as tenants there and managed to pay the Chinese a yearly rent of 500 ounces of silver. ungekürzt.

Home Front: Sparky Hemingway, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 414min
When aging, balding, copy editor Ernest "Sparky" Hemingway (no relation) gets a call from the daughter of his Vietnam buddy George Washington (also no relation), he is faced with a choice. He can head out to Minneapolis to help her out of a jam or hang up the phone - and this phone call has the potential to turn Sparky's life upside down. He's managed to erect a pretty effective cocoon around himself over the last few years, and no amount of aggravation (or thoughts about his long-gone ex-wife) can get through his very carefully nurtured shell. He's very comfortable living (well, maybe just existing) in the little North Dakota town of Hardwoods, filled with its decidedly odd folks who just do what they have to in order to get along, where everybody knows everybody else's secret but pretends they don't. He's left alone, and that's the way Sparky likes it. But you don't walk away from a promise. Especially when that promise was made to somebody who pulled your butt out of more unfriendly and friendly fire than a hailstorm of June bugs. You don't ask, you just do. His fellow vet buddy Doc Holiday (you guessed it, no relation) meets him in Minneapolis and tosses him a .45, which comes in handy when they run into a hard time with some gang-bangers who are after the girl in question. They rescue Washington's teenage daughter, Tenisha, and Doc and Sparky split up, Sparky taking Tenisha and her cat back to his place. Between dealing with the aforementioned gang-bangers, the Minneapolis police, who are hassling Sparky, Doc's brain tumor, and the mostly white town Sparky lives in taking umbrage at the color of Tenisha's skin - not to mention having to haul a four-month-pregnant neighbor and her baby to his house for safety during a blizzard - Sparky thinks he's handling himself pretty well. And then things start to get weird. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Richards. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/007138/bk_adbl_007138_sample.mp3.

The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1200min
This book is in part a detective story. After 9/11 I knew, if I needed further reinforcement, that we are living in a new world - the world of a global capitalist economy that is vastly more flexible, resilient, open, self-correcting, and fast-changing than it was even a quarter century earlier. It's a world that presents us with enormous new possibilities but also enormous new challenges. The Age of Turbulence is my attempt to understand the nature of this new world: how we got here, what we're living through, and what lies over the horizon, for good and for ill. Where possible, I convey my understanding in the context of my own experiences. I do this out of a sense of responsibility to the historical record, and so that listeners will know where I'm coming from. "The book is therefore divided in halves: the first half is my effort to retrace the arc of my learning curve, and the second half is a more objective effort to use this as the foundation on which to erect a conceptual framework for understanding the new global economy. Along the way I explore critical elements of this emerging global environment: the principles governing it; the vast energy infrastructure that powers it; the global financial imbalances and dramatic shifts in world demographics that threaten it; and, despite its unquestioned success, the chronic concern over the justice of the distribution of its rewards. Finally, I bring together what we can reasonably conjecture about the makeup of the world economy in 2030. "I don't pretend to know all the answers. But from my vantage point at the Federal Reserve, I had privileged access to the best that had been thought and said on a wide range of subjects. I have not been inhibited in reaching for some fairly sweeping hypotheses." -Alan Greenspan ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robertson Dean.
