Lois has joined the Peace Corps to explore the world outside her staid Ohio upbringing. As a teacher in a remote village, she totes her own household water from a distant source, learns to accept locals wandering through her hut at all hours, and even becomes accustomed to gunfire in the jungle night.

Over the Moon: Gemini , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 427min

Dell has persuaded the Bloodless army to fight alongside her pack in Butler, but she still has to get there. Halfway home, the rift detonates, blasting out a magic surge that sweeps across the globe, frying electronics and spells alike. Leaving her with no way to get home except on her own two - or four - feet. Dangerous times demand equally lethal alliances, and she has to make a risky deal if she wants to reach the front lines before it's too late. The bargain grants an ancient fae power over her, a hold she vowed no man would ever have on her again, but freedom requires sacrifice. As the threshold between Earth and Faerie erodes, humans and supernaturals alike are in danger of being erased as the fae seek to claim this world as their own. This is the moment when new legends arise and old gods fall, when fates unspool and futures unravel, when battles are won and lives are lost. The war isn't just coming. It's here. ungekürzt.

BLOODLESS - Grab des Verderbens / Pendergast Bd.2 (eBook, ePUB)

In den Straßen von Savannah tauchen Leichen auf, die vollkommen blutleer sind. Kein Wunder, dass eine alte Legende der Stadt plötzlich nicht nur wohligen Grusel verursacht: Geht etwa tatsächlich der »Vampir von Savannah« um? Special Agent Pendergast und sein Partner Agent Coldmoon werden mit dem bizarren Fall betraut und erkennen bald, dass es einen Zusammenhang mit einer nie aufgeklärten Flugzeugentführung aus dem Jahr 1971 gibt. Was sie nicht ahnen: Hinter beiden Fällen steckt etwas, das unfassbar viel böser ist als ein Vampir. Und längst ist nicht mehr sicher, ob die FBI-Agents Jäger oder Gejagte sind.

The People's Republic of Chemicals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 615min

Maverick environmental writers William J. Kelly and Chip Jacobs follow up their acclaimed Smogtown with a provocative examination of China’s ecological calamity already imperiling a warming planet. Toxic smog most people figured was obsolete needlessly kills as many there as the 9/11 attacks every day, while sometimes Grand Canyon-sized drifts of industrial particles aloft on the winds rain down ozone and waterway-poisoning mercury in America. In vivid, gonzo prose blending first-person reportage with exhaustive research and a sense of karma, Kelly and Jacobs describe China’s ancient love affair with coal, Bill Clinton’s blunders cutting free-trade deals enabling the US to "export" manufacturing emissions to Asia in a shift that pilloried the West's middle class, Communist Party manipulation of eco-statistics, the horror of "Cancer Villages", the deception of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and spellbinding "peasant revolts" against cancer-spreading plants involving thousands in mostly censored melees. Ending with China’s monumental coal-bases decried by climatologists as a global warming dagger, The People's Republic of Chemicals names names and stresses humans over bloodless numbers in a classic sure to ruffle feathers as an indictment of money as the real green that not even Al Gore can deny. ungekürzt.

That is until he is called to a grisly murder scene that appears to be an exact copy of a scene that January saw 10 years before. Is it a copycat? Or something else?
