Discarded: Dumpstermancer Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
Magic has been franchised. Magical conveniences are sold everywhere like designer coffee. Everyday life is filled with technical and magical wonders. Only, the magic is murdering people. Thoth Corp's hot new spell is turning people into ravening monsters. Their only hope to quietly rectify the situation before the epidemic spreads is the spell architect they framed and sent to prison. El's response to his former partners wasn't polite. Homeless, forbidden to use government-regulated magic, and barely surviving out of dumpsters, Eli struggles to rebuild his life. Fairytale rats thought long extinct with the rest of the fey rescue Eli from murderous vigilantes, but at a cost. They force him to save fairy matrons stolen away by Thoth's monsters, thrusting Eli between his old company and a shadow war waged against humanity. To stop the war, cure Thoth's victims, and rescue the city, Eli need only find some way to make magic out of trash. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David S. Dear.

A dark house. An isolated island. Strange dreams... And even stranger visions... Jack is spending the summer on a private island far from modern conveniences. No Wi-Fi, no cell service, no one else on the island but a housekeeper and the two very peculiar children in his care. The first time Jack sees the huge black mansion atop a windswept hill, he senses something cold, something more sinister than even the dark house itself. Soon, he feels terribly isolated and alone. Yet he is not alone. The house has visitors - peering in the windows, staring from across the shore. But why doesn't anyone else see them...? And what do they want? As secrets are revealed and darker truths surface, Jack desperately struggles to maintain a grip on reality. He knows what he sees, and he isn't crazy.... Or is he?

Return: End Times Alaska, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min
The outside world was different than they remembered. Impersonal. Harsh. But that world was the same. It was the survivors who had changed. When the treaty between the United States and Russia offered the opportunity for Chuck, Madison, and the others to return to Alaska, they seized it, this time leaving modern conveniences behind by choice. Chuck and the community have the same mission they've always had: to live life to the fullest in a new world of their own making. But that means they must confront the Russian invaders yet again as the enemy tries to establish its own settlement, and the Nagys' world turns upside down once more - maybe for the final time. Fans of military fiction like William Johnstone's Ashes series and John Gilstrap's At All Costs will love the power, suspense, and deep family commitment of the End Times: Alaska trilogy. Cheer for the community as they try to build a new society on the ashes of the old world...a harsh post-war world where danger and trials stalk them at every turn. ungekürzt. Language: English.

There is a place in modern-day America with no electricity, no plumbing, and no modern conveniences.

To her family she is the vision of obedient perfection. But she dares to want that which she has been told can never be hers.

The Pullback: Fortress Farm, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 514min
The Solar Storms start slowly at first, a mere nuisance to modern society that enjoys electronic conveniences. But trouble is on the horizon, and world economies that once seemed invincible are beginning to feel the consequences of greed and neglect. America tries one last time to save herself, and turns to the Artificial Intelligence system known as GRAPEVINE to combat the interference of nature. But GRAPEVINE has her own ideas about what's best for the planet. The technology meant to save civilization forsakes billions of people. New cults and strongmen establish power while outlaws pillage. Just as humans have done for millennia, heroes and villains arise from the ashes of a great empire, struggling for the fate of those hanging on after the world's Great Reset. Their decisions will have ramifications resonating for generations. Can a determined group of small town farmers use their mechanical ingenuity to build a new country and spread the message of self-reliance and self-defense in time to keep hope alive? Join us on the first step in the journey of families facing the new Dark Ages. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ellery Truesdell.
