Winner of the Young Adult Sci-fi category, Readers' Favorite Book Awards - 2018To them, he was an experiment. To me, he is family. The first time I saw him, I had no idea he had recently escaped from a mysterious lab. That he had been created there. I'd been living on the streets, which was tough, but preferable to home. Then one day, I stumbled upon this mangy dog being attacked. I saved him. But then he saved me and I realized that Muttface wasn't a normal dog. He was crazy intelligent. I'm talking Mensa levels. When we sought help from a grieving veterinarian named Sully, his clinic was attacked and destroyed by mercenaries. So now here we are, the three of us. On the run across the country against a powerful enemy. Who are they and what do they want with us? Through the danger, terror, and pain, one thing was becoming clear to me: I have finally found the family I always wanted and I will do anything to keep them safe....Even if it means risking my own life. *The award-winning creator & screenwriter of ground-breaking BBC television show, Spirit Warriors starring Jessica Henwick (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Game of Thrones, The Defenders) brings you an action-packed thrill-ride in her debut novel fans unanimously raved about, describing it as a "Must-Read" and "Unputdownable".

Rattle: A Tale of a Boy and His Dog , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min
Pete and his friends find a stray dog while hunting for lizards in their mountain desert town. How can he convince his father that the mangy, dusty, little dog is worth keeping? How can he let the poor thing remain in the desert where danger lurks? Please be advised that this audiobook includes some scary imagery that might be too intense for very young listeners, so adults are encouraged to listen to this to determine the appropriateness for a child in their care. Here is a preview: His father didn’t respond, and Pete didn’t know yet if there would be joy or despair. His father pointed to rock next to the tangled Joshua tree in the front yard, and Pete walked to it and sat. “It’s a big responsibility to own a dog, son. I’ll go talk to your mother.” He’d already decided. Pete knew that, but he didn’t know the decision, and that was maddening. “But - ” It only took a slight inclination of his father’s head and a glance to silence him. “Yes, sir.” His father walked to the house, and Pete watched him and then stood. His father turned back and looked for a moment like he was going to smile, but instead his face suddenly drained of color. “Don’t move, Peter.”Peter. The use of his full name from his mother meant trouble but he couldn’t recall the last time his father had used it. The tone of his voice was even, but such was the power of one his father’s commands that Pete froze without thinking. He looked at his father, and saw something on his face he didn’t recognize. It looked almost like indecision, but Pete knew that indecision was an emotion foreign to his father, the man who never had to consider a course of action before taking it. ungekürzt.

Mangy Love
Auf seinem Anti-Debüt fängt der "Songwriter der Songwriter" seinen Bühnen-Sound ein.Der kalifornische Singer/Songwriter Cass McCombs macht weder Aufhebens um seine Person noch verliert er große Worte über seine Musik. Was allerdings recht viel über den introvertierten Gitarristen aussagt, ist die nachhaltige Zustimmung, die er von anderen Künstlern erfährt, unter anderem den Kollegen von War on Drugs, Vampire Weekend, Phish und My Morning Jacket. Nicht umsonst gilt McCombs als "Songwriter der Songwriter" - spätestens seit seinem 2011er-Meisterwerk "Wit’s End" zählt McCombs mit seinem nomadischen Mix aus Neo-Folk, Alternative, Country, Americana und Spoken Word zur Speerspitze seiner Branche. Auf "Mangy Love", seinem Debüt fürs Label Anti, lässt er nun auch experimentelle Soul-Elemente, verdrehte Psychedelia und kernigen Rock ins Ganze einfließen. Damit spiegelt McCombs achtes Studioalbum besser als je zuvor den Sound wider, den er auch auf der Bühne präsentiert. Gegenüber seinem Vorgänger, dem Doppelalbum "Big Wheel And Others", fällt "Mangy Love" dunkler aus, während der Sprechgesangsanteil mehr Gewicht bekommen hat. Zahlreiche Gastauftritte, unter anderem von Angel Olsen und Blake Mills, runden das von Rob Schnapf produzierte Werk perfekt ab.- Shop: odax
