Nia's Return: A Nia Freeman Novel, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 606min
A year after a devastating experience in Haiti, Nia Freeman has decided to leave Washington, D.C., with the resolve to live life on her own terms and to prepare for the peak oil crisis. She needs to get away from nightmares of earthquakes, evacuations, clogged streets, rowdy mobs, and crumbling buildings. Nia quits her job and crushes her grandfather's hope that she would join the family business. She moves into her childhood home in Augusta, Georgia, with plans of finding her true self and preparing for a future without oil. She hires her buddy, John Coles, to help renovate the ancestral home so that her grandfather would let her have it. She sets about stockpiling emergency supplies and making the house safe. But her plans take a detour when the attractive Thandi Kapencher, an African history professor, asks for Nia's help to find her brother, Karabo, a young footloose, social activist. Karabo volunteers at a local group called Freegans for the People that Thandi fears is involved in criminal activities. The group considers themselves to be modern-day Robin Hoods, and they'll stop at nothing to maintain their cover. Thandi feels Nia's background might give her credibility with local charity groups to find out about her brother's whereabouts. Thandi offers a sizeable payment for her time. Nia needs the money for the renovation so she visits the back streets of Augusta getting to know the homeless and Karabo's dubious coworkers. She tries to enlist the help of Karabo's pregnant ex-girlfriend, Lana Harrison, but the young woman is murdered soon after. Nia realizes that she is caught up in a situation more dangerous than she had anticipated. Her feelings for Thandi and her need to do right propel her to find Karabo, locate Lana Harrison's murderer, and find a sustainable way of life without oil. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Hundred-Year House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 517min
Meet the Devohrs: Zee, a Marxist literary scholar who detests her parents' wealth but nevertheless finds herself living in their carriage house; Gracie, her mother, who claims she can tell your lot in life by looking at your teeth; and Bruce, her step-father, stockpiling supplies for the Y2K apocalypse and perpetually late for his tee time. Then there's Violet Devohr, Zee's great-grandmother, who they say took her own life somewhere in the vast house, and whose massive oil portrait still hangs in the dining room. Violet's portrait was known to terrify the artists who resided at the house from the 1920s to the 1950s, when it served as the Laurelfield Arts Colony - and this is exactly the period Zee's husband, Doug, is interested in. An out-of-work academic whose only hope of a future position is securing a book deal, Doug is stalled on his biography of the poet Edwin Parfitt, once in residence at the colony. All he needs to get the book back on track - besides some motivation and self-esteem - is access to the colony records, rotting away in the attic for decades. But when Doug begins to poke around where he shouldn't, he finds Gracie guards the files with a strange ferocity, raising questions about what she might be hiding. The secrets of the hundred-year house would turn everything Doug and Zee think they know about her family on its head - that is, if they were to ever uncover them. In this brilliantly conceived, ambitious, and deeply rewarding novel, Rebecca Makkai unfolds a generational saga in reverse, leading the listener back in time on a literary scavenger hunt as we seek to uncover the truth about these strange people and this mysterious house. With intelligence and humor, a daring narrative approach, and a lovingly satirical voice, Rebecca Makkai has crafted an unforgettable novel about family, fate, and the incredible surprises life can offer. ungekürzt.

Canine Plague: Life Will Never Be the Same , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 509min
A Fascinating New Twist in the Post Apocalyptic Genre "One of the best social commentaries of our time, wrapped in a whopping good tale." "Can't believe it's a first effort! Very suspenseful! The thought that something so 'every day' and beloved could cause such chaos is chilling. I was actually frightened by the possibilities raised here and can see how something trivial can be twisted or corrupted to wreak havoc! Good job! Fiction or prediction of a possible future scenario? Scared me to think about it." – Laura L. "I read a lot of books, mostly sci-fi or adventure. This is the best book I have read in a long time. The story is creative, original, and the more I hear about people in this world, the more I can see that it is possible and maybe probable and making me think strongly about stockpiling. The book was well written and leaving you wanting more. I will certainly read the next volume in this (hopefully) series. I give it 5 stars." – Illiad5 The twisted world of mainstream news and social media becomes the catalyst for social upheaval, entangling Steven Bryant in a frantic fight for the lives of his family and friends. A news story goes viral, causing their once normal lives to take a dangerous turn when a flawed medical research study suggesting man’s best friend might be his worst enemy. Chaos erupts and a near total collapse of society looms in a perfect storm of government corruption, political correctness, and social justice movements. Steven unwittingly finds himself the leader of a struggle for survival as America's civil structure and social fabric is exposed as a house of cards. Sworn enemies become allies when faced with a common cause and friends and family members become bitter enemies as they confront hunger and widespread violence in a threat to their very survival. Life will never be the same. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Pierce. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/060875/bk_acx0_060875_sample.mp3.

Ebola: The Preppers Guide to Surviving the Killer Virus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 101min
The current Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the worst case of its type since the virus was discovered in the 1970s. What makes this Ebola outbreak of greater concern is not only that it is the strain that has the higher mortality rates but that it has crossed borders and appeared in regions previously unaffected by Ebola. The Ebola outbreak has the potential to spread on a global scale, particularly due to the long incubation period and the symptoms taking time to develop. Ebola symptoms are very similar to other infectious diseases and as such they can be difficult to spot. If the Ebola outbreak goes global those that are prepared will have the best chance of survival, in short this means the prepper community. WHO have already declared that the Ebola outbreak is spreading quicker than the steps being taken to prevent it. Many peppers are worried about the potential for pandemics of infectious diseases; it appears that Ebola may have the potential to become a pandemic. This audiobook explains the Ebola virus and the current situation with the outbreak in West Africa. It discusses Ebola symptoms and how the disease develops in humans. Like many infectious diseases Ebola can only be transferred from human to human in certain circumstances, we look at those circumstances and how we can best protect ourselves from the Ebola virus. The book offers a look at prepping ideas that can be used if the Ebola outbreak hits our shores. In addition to stockpiling essential supplies the book highlights when it might be prudent to bug out and gives details about the best items to pack in a bug out bag. The bug out bag is probably the first thing that anyone wanting to be prepared should produce. In addition to a response to the Ebola outbreak, these prepper ideas can be applied to any "Doomsday situation". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jason P. Hilton.

The Day the World Sneezed: March 12, 2020 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 191min
This summer, one man will travel miles...to a forgotten people...to save a nation...and honor his wife. The Day the World Sneezed tells a story of hope, helping others, and finding the "lighthearted" moments in the midst of tragedy.There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, "Father, give me my share of the estate." So he divided his property between them. Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country, and there...wait, wrong story! There was a man named Elmer who had no sons. The man had a wife, but she died, so he divided all her Amazon purchases between a barn out back of his farm house and a storage facility in a rural part of America that almost no one ever visits. Not long after that, a man from the Bureau of Land Management stopped by to ask if the old man was stockpiling cleaning supplies - supplies vital to stopping the spread of a really bad "crud" sweeping across America. Elmer said he was. The bureau man made Elmer an offer he could refuse, which Elmer did. Not long after the bureau man drove away, Elmer got together all he had, set off for a distant country, and there...is where the story begins - as does our story during this weird time in history we call 2020.Elmer's journey covers news reports as they happened from March 14 through April 6. This is by design. Years from now listeners may wonder what all the fuss was about. Part of Elmer's story is to document events as they happened during his journey in the weeks following the spread of COVID-19 across America. As with all things in life, Elmer faced a choice: work for the good of others or serve and save himself. The Day the World Sneezed is one man's account of how he lived by the Golden Rule. ungekürzt.

High Profits in Flipping Houses: How to Make High Profits Buying and Selling Houses in Your Local Market: Hidden Deals Are Everywhere, You Just Need to Know Where to Find Them , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
Flipping houses is a wealth creation business. But what about rentals? Can you get rich from rental cash flow?Please allow me to ask you a question: Would you rather receive your net profits from a real estate deal in one day, or over five to seven years?Most would say in one day, including me...but not before I tried to get rich in rentals by buying and holding over five to seven years, and in this mini-audiobook, I’ll show you why that’s not the best way to create cash reserves or wealth in the beginning of your investing career.Flipping houses is a proven path to financial independence, not from cash flow, but from stockpiling your cash profits into a pile of money over time. Then use some of your cash reserves to buy rentals slowly....over time. This is the truly debt-free way to accumulate rentals, that cash flow with no debt service or very little debt service.Are you a new investor? If you want wealth creation, like large “chunks of cash” every month, then quick-flipping houses and apartment houses is the best and easiest point of entry, period.Are you are a seasoned investor well-capitalized looking for preservation, depreciation, and/or an annual yield of 10 to 15 percent from rents? Then buying and holding cash flow rental properties for five-plus years is the best strategy for you in most cases...and you probably already knew that.I’m an actual real estate investor, flipper, and redeveloper in Cleveland (and other states) doing this full time. I have flipped more than 359 homes and apartments since 2005. I know that's not a lot for almost 13 years, but I self-fund everything and achieve huge margins for what is invested, and that's where I think my strategies may have some value for you. I designed the business to be hassle-free and low overhead, so I don’t have to hire people and get into management, which is where your freedom starts to dwindle.Over the years, I’ve discovered the best personal 80/20 st ungekürzt.
