    Swing Shift: Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 830min
    Reports to write, forms to fill, coffee to drink, leads to run down. Gus’s life had been a tedium and boredom he’d grown comfortable with. One that he sought out after he’d come back from his tour of duty.That was before Melody, a contractor, more or less blew his life up as if it were a building packed full of C-4. Then she pranced around the ashes of it like it was the end of the world and was conjuring up the end times herself. All while breaking in a rookie by the name of Vanessa into the PID. A gung-ho and eager young detective looking to prove herself. Then commandeering and recruiting a cleaning lady who turned out to be an elven dryad sorceress who viewed killing people as little more than emptying the trash can.Gus had lived through it, though. Made it work for him and had come out of it without too many new scars. An adventure that he hadn’t wanted any part of...that involved the Fed being blown up, a stadium full of Paras all going into a feral rage, and breaking off a plot hatched by what felt like an organization that rivaled the Fed. Which apparently was all in a day’s work, right up until they fired you for doing that work because you made the brass look bad.Without a job, more people relying on him than ever, and no direction, Gus is going to have to put on his big boy pants and figure something out. And soon. It’s a good thing that he’s a boogieman. Because, being an apex predator that made the entirety of the paranormal world fear him was something he could fall back on. He could lean into it and make it work for him. He’d done it before when he was in the military. Made a name for himself out there in the bloody desert. He was "The Hunter". A name that the elven mothers now used to instill fear into misbehaving children. A name that grown men and women wouldn’t discuss in polite company. Except, despite Gus’s best intentions to get back to his stable nonlife, he’s going to get thrown right back into ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Parsneau.

    Cry of the Kiwi: A Family's New Zealand Adventure (The Complete Series, Books 1-3) (eBook, ePUB)
    "...a delicious taste of life in New Zealand." - Monica Told with grace and style, alive with insight and intriguing facts, Cry of the Kiwi: A Family's New Zealand Adventure captures the joys and challenges, struggles and awakenings experienced by a Canadian family that hits the ground running in New Zealand and finds its feet in a land of volcanoes, giant trees, mammalian pests, and endangered flightless birds. In 2000 Magi Nams was a harried home schooling mother who yearned for a big travel adventure, a glorious trip somewhere far away where she could walk beneath the canopies of unknown trees and identify exotic birds. And where she and her family could spend months exploring an intriguing foreign culture. Would the dream ever come true? She had one hope… her ecologist husband was a weasel expert, and New Zealand had a lot of weasels to get rid of. Book 1, Once a Land of Birds: On New Zealand's spectacular South Island, Magi and her family scramble through tangled bush, hike over windswept hills, and dive head and heart into New Zealand life, history, and ecology. Travel and hiking adventures take them to verdant rainforests in the island's northwest, over ancient volcanoes on the east coast, and into the majestic mountain country of the Southern Alps. Throughout it all, Magi and her husband and two sons develop a growing understanding of and affection for New Zealand's maverick persona and its beleaguered, long-isolated native flora and fauna. Book 2: This Dark Sheltering Forest: Amid downpours and summer heat, Magi and her family ride quads over muddy pitted tracks on North Island's Central Volcanic Plateau as they trap stoats, the subject of her husband's research. Long hours in the outdoors introduce her boys to the challenges of field research, and the entire family to the lush, cluttered beauty of a New Zealand rainforest. During time off she and her family hike over an active volcano, snorkel among electric-blue fishes, spot glow-worms in mysterious caverns, walk among New Zealand's rarest birds, gaze in awe at some of the largest trees in the world, and explore a gaudy geothermal wonderland. With a gift for observing and story-telling, the author evokes the majesty and mystery of New Zealand's volcanic North Island, the drama and tedium of six weeks of scientific research and travel, and the tensions and joys felt by two parents and two kids bonding more tightly far from home. Book 3: Tang of the Tasman Sea: Back on South Island, Magi and her family battle home school tensions and adventure inertia before rebounding to backpack the Abel Tasman Coast Track, watch the Aurora Australis from a mountain top, hike to a brooding creek with a history of disaster, follow flashlights deep into caves, and climb over icy bedrock to a look-off in breathtaking glacier country. As their family travel adventure of a lifetime draws to a close, it becomes clear that New Zealand's heart lies as much in its people as in its majestic landscapes and intriguing flora and fauna. With awareness and a rich turn of phrase, the author portrays South Island's natural beauty and reveals how some landscapes her family explores during five final months in New Zealand are landscapes of the heart, and how some trails lead not up mountains but to new peaks within.

    Soldiers Of Fortune: Early Risers
    Die Supergroup um Brad Truax (Interpol) und Matt Sweeney (Zwan, Chavez) hat ihr zweites Album angekündigt. Mit Gästen wie Stephen Malkmus (Pavement), Cass McCombs u.v.a.Soldiers Of Fortune (S.O.F.) starteten 2004 als eine Antiband. Die Idee des Masterminds Brad Truax, den man als neuen Bassisten von INTERPOL kennt, ging diese Richting: Keine Songs, keine Proben, keine Aufnahmen und erst Recht keine Tonträger oder solche Konsumprodukte. Dann kam Mike Bones und mit ihm es zu ersten Shows. Und damit Anfragen von Labels, die man natürlich ablehnen musste. Dann ging ins Studio und die ersten Songlarven erblickten grob zusammengeschrammelt das vernebelte Licht des Proberaums. Es fehlte nur noch der Gesang, also rief man ein paar Freunde an und ans Mikro: Kid Millions (Man Forever, Oneida), Barry London (fuck yeah Oneida), Matt Sweeney (Chavez), Jesper Eklow (Meandering Tedium, sorry, Endless Boogie), Mike Bones, Papa Crazee (Oneida) CLARK YEREMIAS BRONSON, STEPHEN MALKMUS (PAVEMENT), CASS MCCOMBS, DAN MELCHIOR, ETHAN MILLER und MATT MCAULEY. TRACKS: 1. Nails (ft. Kid Millions) 2. Cinnamon Man (ft. Kid Millions) 3. Campus Swagger (ft. Stephen Malkmus) 4. Old Roman Wall (ft. Cass McCombs) 5. Dog Tooth Down (ft. Ethan Miller) 6. Pure Shame (ft. Dan Melchior) 7. Santa Monica (ft. Mike Bones) 8. Fatigues (ft. Crazee) 9. Kall Mi Kaos (ft. Matt McAuley) 10. Which (ft. Clark Yeremias Bronson)
