Divine Space Gods: Abraham's Follies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min
This novella is a parody of The Divine Dissimulation, by the same author. Far enough in the future for anything to be conceivable, the ridiculously wealthy and dementia-ridden villain Abraham Goldstein is defrauded by shrewd scientist Jack Brown into funding an implausible "secret" project to travel to heaven and meet God! Against all logic, the machine ends up working, and Abraham finds out the god is dead and that Yahweh, in his suicide letter, was kind enough to leave the schematics for the mind-control chip he used to convince Bronze Age humans he was a god. Having these schematics, Abraham sets his mind for a new project: to create an artificial Bronze Age world where he can be god over it's inhabitants. Along the way, he faces many highly amusing scenarios such as problems with the henchmen union, unfortunate calendar mistakes, malfunctioning orbital super weapons, etc. Abraham keeps f--king up things due to his dementia, villainy, incompetent henchmen, and general stupidity until a mentally ill woman shows up out of nowhere and puts and end to Abraham's follies! ungekürzt.

Cemetery of Angels 2014 Edition: The Ghost Stories of Noel Hynd, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 682min
Newly revised and re-edited 2014 edition Bill and Rebecca Moore are an ordinary middle-aged couple raising two children in suburban Connecticut when an unsuccessful attempt on Rebecca's life by a mysterious stranger leaves her with an extreme case of post-traumatic stress. To help her recover, Bill suggests a move to southern California where they buy and renovate an old house in a posh neighborhood. It seems, however, that the house hosts a particularly persistent ghost named Ronny, an ex-actor who apparently has emerged from the small private cemetery adjacent to the backyard. When both children disappear from the house with no sign of forced entry, LAPD gumshoe Ed Van Allen suspects the Moores of murder, although Rebecca gamely tries to convince him the ghost did it. Turning the implausible into the possible as the case unfolds, alternately amusing and frightening, Hynd lets the evidence build to a genuinely terrifying climax that features earthbound criminals as well as a not-so-subtle example of divine retribution. ungekürzt.

Birthing the Miraculous: The Power of Personal Encounters with God to Change Your Life and the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 373min
God has promised us miracles. Are you willing to do what it takes to see them through? We all desire the favor of God on our lives. We eagerly pray and hope for his miracles, promises, and blessings. But carrying the promises of God often means being stretched, being inconvenienced, and being patient to nourish those promises until it is God's time for them to be born. In Birthing the Miraculous Heidi Baker weaves true stories from her life and ministry - including personal visitations and life-changing visions - together with the biblical story of Mary's pregnancy with Jesus to show you how to become a catalyst for God's glory here on earth. Sometimes God's promises seem bizarre, implausible, and even crazy. But no matter how impossible his promises seem, we can respond as Mary did, with a yielded cry of "Yes". It is time to go into every realm of society, carrying your promise, believing for the impossible, and watching God do the miraculous through you. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Kid Gloves: A Voyage Round My Father , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 566min
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Kid Gloves, written and read by Adam Mars-Jones. When his widowed father - once a High Court judge and always a formidable figure - drifted into vagueness if not dementia, the writer Adam Mars-Jones took responsibility for his care. Intimately trapped in the London flat where the family had always lived, the two men entered an oblique new stage in their relationship. In the aftermath of an unlooked-for intimacy, Mars-Jones has written a book devoted to particular emotions and events. Kid Gloves is a highly entertaining book about families, the legal profession, and the vexed question of Welsh identity. It is necessarily also a book about the writer himself - and the implausible, long-delayed moment, some years before, when he told his sexually conservative father about his own orientation, taking the homophobic bull by the horns. The supporting cast includes Ian Fleming, the Moors Murderers, Jacqueline Bisset and Gilbert O' Sullivan, the singer-songwriter whose trademark look kept long shorts from their rightful place on the fashion pages for so many years. ungekürzt.

Don't Get Me Wrong: Love in Brazen Bay, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 105min
He can’t deny his need to claim her as his...After ten long months away on a dig, archaeology professor Dr. Nick Sanders comes home to Brazen Bay, surprised to find that his house is still standing since he left his irresponsible younger brother in charge. Tired, dirty, and hungry, he collapses into bed sans pajamas, only to wake up wrapped around a luscious, fuming woman. She says she’s just the house sitter and that he pulled her into bed when she was trying to wake him up. He says he’s just found his future wife.She’s off-limits - too young, too sweet, too innocent, and a student at his university. But he’s one naughty professor who doesn’t care what the world says. She belongs with him.Author confession: This story goes back to my filthy, sweet roots fans have been asking for. Insta-love, a heaping dose of immediate OTT attraction, a wildly implausible (yet completely romantic) scenario, and enough alphamallow goodness to singe you. Pick up this guilty indulgence about love so wrong it’s right. You know it’s got the tropes you love - older man/younger woman, bad professor, possessive hero, nerdy heroine, small-town romance, and what’s a Brazen Bay book without a cameo from Stella? ungekürzt.

Rocket Boy and the Geek Girls , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 629min
The mind tells the story - but the heart inspires it with dreams of what might be waiting Out There. With evocative stories of lost comrades, alien first contacts, and strange, often unexpected confrontations with evolving science, Rocket Boy and the Geek Girls embraces both our pulp-dream past and cutting-edge future. Thirteen authors (fifteen if you count pseudonyms) from the Book View Cafe got together one rainy Saturday afternoon with a big bowl of popcorn and reruns of Buck Rogers. They started comparing short stories and a new anthology took form. Rare reprints, hard-to-find favorites, and new tales all combine in this one-of-a-kind story collection, available exclusively from Book View Press. What happens when thirteen authors get to giggling over implausible titles for the collection? They choose the most illogical and then they have to write something to go with it. So, yes, there are three flash fiction versions of Rocket Boy and the Geek Girls. Stories by: Vonda N. McIntyre, Brenda W. Clough, Katharine Kerr, Judith Tarr, P.R. Frost, Pati Nagle, Madeleine Robins, Nancy Jane Moore, Sarah Zettel, Amy Sterling Casil, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, Jennifer Stevenson, Sylvia Kelso, C.L. Anderson, and Irene Radford. ungekürzt.
