What the Dog Ate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 587min

The vet handed Maggie Baxter a plastic specimen bag containing a pair of size-tiny lavender thong panties extracted from her dog; but they were not hers. Or rather, they were hers now since she'd just paid $734 to have Dr. Carter surgically remove them from Kona's gut. This is how Maggie Baxter, a practical, rule-following accountant, discovers that her husband of 17 years is cheating on her. All her meticulous life plans are crushed. When he leaves her for the other woman, Maggie and her the-world-is-my-smorgasbord chocolate lab, Kona, are left to put their lives back together. As Maggie begins to develop a Plan B for her life, she decides to be more like Kona. No, she's not going to sniff crotches and eat everything that isn't nailed down; rather she'll try to approach life with more ball-chasing abandon. Finding herself in situations where she begins to go through her usual over-analysis of the pros and cons, she stops and instead asks herself: What would Kona do? With Kona as her guru, Maggie begins her quest for tail-wagging joy. What the Dog Ate is a funny, tender story of mending a broken heart and finding love and a new life right under your nose, with woman's best friend at your side. If you enjoyed Claire Cook's Must Love Dogs or Allie Larkin's Stay, you'll love What the Dog Ate and be rooting for Maggie and Kona. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aisling Gray.

Cobra Guardian: Cobra War, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min

When the colony worlds Adirondack and Silvern fell to the Troft forces almost without a struggle. Outnumbered and on the defensive, Earth made a desperate decision. It would attack the aliens not from space, but on the ground with forces the Trofts did not even suspect. Thus were created the Cobras, a guerilla force whose weapons were surgically implanted, invisible to the unsuspecting eye, yet undeniably deadly. And the Moreau family were the most famous of the Cobra warriors. Long after victory over the Troft was achieved, the Cobras made common cause against their former adversaries against a new enemy. Their reward was three planets that would be a home for the Cobras, who deadly powers made them too dangerous to feel at home on Earth. Now, years had passed and not everyone on the Cobra worlds thought that the Cobras were worth the cost of maintaining their existing built-in weaponry, let alone supporting research to improve the Cobra weapons, and possibly even put an end to the negative effects of that built-in weaponry, which caused Cobras to die much too young. Many who had never known interplanetary war were convinced that the Cobras were not needed at all. That was a grave miscalculation, because a Troft faction has decided to invade the Cobra planets in force, using a new strategy that even the formidable Cobra warriors may not be able to defeat… ungekürzt.

Tag, You’re Dead , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min

Six young people play a dangerous game of tag in public, chasing each other through the crowds, streets, and buildings of Chicago. This secret, one-of-a-kind, wildly expensive game offers a macabre twist to the childhood version: If you get tagged, you die. Three "Its" have their reasons for buying a place in the game. Surgically enhanced Brandy is obsessed with destroying a naturally beautiful girl. Untalented Robert covets his target's position as superstar of the basketball team. Brainiac Charles craves a battle against an intellectual equal. Given their elite social status, they reject any possible downside to the contest. Each expects the satisfaction of killing their prey, then walking away. Handpicked innocents play as "Runners", under threat to their loved ones should they refuse to participate: lovely, small-town Laura; celebrated athlete Tyrese; and Amanda, gamer extraordinaire. Alone, hunted by their adversary, each feels a single hope: to survive. Technological wizardry controls the game. As soon as Runners receive the "Go" signal on smartwatches locked to their wrists, the game rockets them through the city, from the El to Michigan Avenue to the Lincoln Park Zoo. There is no time to rest. Every 30 minutes the Runner's location is transmitted, steadily diminishing the Runner's chance of ever reaching home base alive. The game will not end until someone is tagged, so the Runners must choose how to play. Will they accept death? Will they murder their "Its"? Or will they find a way to use their individual strengths to stop the game before anyone dies? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erin Spencer.

Luke 'n' Conor's Hundred-to-One Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min

Parents - Do you want your children to realize there is also a world away from their console? If you have to surgically remove the controller from their grasp, you'll love this audiobook.Kids - Don't worry, you'll also love this audiobook. It's absolutely hilarious.For some kids, playing their game console was a matter of life and death....But for 10-year-olds Luke and Conor, it was more important even than that!In fact, the topic of conversation on every boy’s - and even a fair few girls' - lips was the latest shoot-em-up survival game called Hundred-to-One.The prospect of competing in the Hundred-to-One world championship tournament, with untold riches in prize money and international bragging rights, was simply irresistible. The only thing standing in Luke and Conor’s path to victory was the Isle of Man regional heat they’d have to win. Oh, and the fact that every kid in every school everywhere had exactly the same dream they did. So, yeah, there was that as well.But Luke and Conor wouldn’t let anything stand in their way! Well, okay, apart from homework, maybe, and the school bully, and a younger boy with a watery eye and a gammy leg...and along, of course, with their mums’ rubbish insistence that they set the game controller down and (gasp!) venture outside for fresh air on occasion. The lads were determined, though. And their obsession for gaming glory in a virtual world, as it happened, could also open up the possibility of new friendships and new adventure in the real world.A hilarious, feel-good audiobook that's genuinely one for the whole family. ungekürzt.

A fresh, funny, and insightful novel about what it really means to be "friends forever" from the acclaimed author of Bond Girl and On the Rocks.

Never Fear Cancer Again: How to Prevent and Reverse Cancer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 836min

Most cancer research dollars have been wasted asking the wrong questions, looking in the wrong places, and using the same failed approaches while expecting different results. Conventional cancer treatments damage health, cause new cancers, lower the quality of life, and decrease the chances of survival. In fact, most people who die from cancer are not dying from cancer but from their treatments! That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news: we can end the cancer epidemic. In Never Fear Cancer Again, listeners will gain a revolutionary new understanding of health and disease and will come to understand that cancer is a biological process that can be turned on and off, not something that can be surgically removed or destroyed with radiation or toxic chemicals. So whether cancer has already been diagnosed or if prevention is the concern, it is possible to turn off the wayward production of these malfunctioning cells once and for all by implementing the strategies in this book. All diseases have one simple cause: malfunctioning cells created by either deficiency or toxicity. By switching off the malfunctioning cells, you switch off the cancer. Never Fear Cancer Again guides listeners along six pathways that cause deficiency or toxicity at the cellular level: nutritional path, genetic path, medical path, toxin path, physical path, and the psychological path. By making key lifestyle changes, people truly have the power to take control of cancer and transform their health. This radically different yet holistic approach restored author Raymond Francis to health just as it has helped thousands of others, many of whom were told they had no other options or that their cancer was incurable. Take back your health with this book and never fear cancer again. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Sklar.

What Doctors Cannot Tell You: Clarity, Confidence and Uncertainty in Medicine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min

Almost 20 billion times each year, a person walks into a doctor's office.The person becomes a patient. Everyone becomes this patient at some point. How will you talk to your physicians? What will you tell them? What will they tell you in return? They can't tell you what they don't know. They can tell you when they don't know. Will they? What Doctors Cannot Tell You explores the uncertainty that pervades medicine. It breaks the code of silence within which too many physician-patient conversations take place. The patients' stories in its pages will empower you to ask questions of your physicians, with a firm belief that healing and hope begin from honesty in those critical conversations. This book marries surgically precise medical narrative to thinking and perspective that will throw the curtains wide on what medicine knows, what it doesn't know, and how it tries to tell the difference between the two. This book is Outliers meets Patch Adams, only with an added how-to twist beyond the instructive and powerfully human narratives. At every chapter's end, the reader will find a list of principles, one for each vignette, and questions to ask his or her physician.A few books in the last decade have focused on human errors and complications in medicine. Each has suggested ways to improve medicine by the application of checklists and protocols. This book adds a unique and important angle to these considerations: How firmly do we know what should go on the checklist or protocol in the first place? How clear has medicine been with its patients about what it cannot know or does not yet know? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin B. Jones, MD.

Inside Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 130min

Valgolia, a planet in the Epsilon Eridani star system, conquered Earth generations ago, but their conquest was incomplete. While Valgolians made possible greater prosperity, universal health, and interstellar trade for all Earthlings, the factional frictions of Earth - race against race, religion against religion, culture against culture - continue to bedevil the Valgolian's vision of a peaceable world for all mankind. A world which, once brought around to the idea of equality for all Earthlings, will be ready to join the larger community of the galaxy. In Inside Earth, first published in 1951, master science fiction author Poul Anderson laid out a vision of America and the world struggling centuries later with the ancient animosities that no war ever seems to vanquish. This exciting short story hints at a unique solution to that never-ending cycle of social, economic, political, and religious discontent. Could a genuine global peace among all mankind be promoted by conquistadors from another world? Conquerors whose philosophy is not divide to conquer, but conquer to unite? That is not how the men and women of Earth see it. Earthlings see only copper-skinned, black-crest-headed rulers in their Valgolian masters, and only rebellion will reboot the world to its former self. Rebel forces seeking to overthrow the Valgolians have begun to coalesce and promote insurgencies around the globe, insurgencies capable of retaking Earth by launching an attack on Valgolia itself from a covert base far out in space. The Valgolians are well-aware of the pending rebellion; in fact, they are secretly promoting it, with the help of one of their own...a Valgolian military officer named Conru. Surgically-modified to remove all traces of his home planet physiology and made to look as much an Earthing as possible, Conru travels across North America as Conrad Haugen, a Norwegian-American playing the role of a discontented wanderer anxious to join the rebellion's Legi ungekürzt.
