Paranormal Portal to a Parallel Universe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 140min

We can use our imaginations to see things that our five senses cannot detect. Einstein's imagination gave us the reality of relativity that our senses could not detect. Use you imagination. My friend Dr. Robert (Bob) Russell said that he knew a girl that could communicate with the dead. I didn't believe him. He invited me to an "encounter" to prove it. We went to a very weird old house where a Paranormal Investigative Team was working. The team was led by the girl Amy, about 25 or so. She had another girl and two guys about her age as the rest of the team. They had some pretty sophisticated equipment. Their equipment recorded the event in detail. The temperature-sensing equipment showed significant and rapid temperature drops when the "entities" appeared. Their electromagnetic sensors recorded the spikes of appearance and higher than normal levels as their presence continued. Their infrared cameras detected image hot spots that varied in size from small orbs to life-size wisps of bright energy. Their acoustic equipment recorded static "noise" and varying levels of frequency specific hums with their presence. Amy and one of her other team members, Ted, could detect all of this much faster than the other two team members and my friends Bob, Mike, and I could. They could also understand communications when the rest of us could only detect the static noise and hums. Amy and Ted could also see people when the rest of us only saw varying sizes of orbs and bright un-discernable images. But Bob, Mike, and I saw enough to know that we experienced a real paranormal encounter. The machine that measured temperature and its rate of change proved to be most interesting. Amy explained that when "entities" came over into our world that they need energy to materialize. That's why it gets cold when ghosts, or whatever, come on the scene. They suck up the energy from the room or area so the ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Gilmore. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/001936/bk_acx0_001936_sample.mp3.

Dr. Yen Sin: May-June 1936, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 333min

Out of fog-bound Washington, D.C., much as the dark London streets of Sax Rohmer's Fu Manchu novels, comes a creature of consumate evil - Dr. Yen Sin. This sinister head of an international spy network known as the Invisible Empire is a master of the cunning art of diabolical death. Battling him and his fiendish devices, such as death rays and blow guns, is Michael Traile, who works with the cooperation of the federal government. Only three issues of this magazine were published. A fourth Dr. Yen Sin novel, The Case of the Faceless Man, was announced, but never published. Table of Contents: "A Smashing Complete Novel of Oriental Menace, The Mystery of the Dragon's Shadow" by Donald E. Keyhoe - Out of the teeming turbulent East had come Dr. Yen Sin - saffron-skinned wizard of crime - bringing to the Capital of the West all the ancient Devil's-lore at his command - and a horde of Asian Hell-born to help him spawn it. But Michael Traile - The Man Who Never Slept - had crammed into his own keen brain the means to cope with the sinister doctor. For he knew even the secrets of the Dragon's Shadow and how to penetrate the yellow murder fog that had descended on the capital to mingle its blood-wisps with the mist from the Potomac. "Slant-Eyed Satan - A Chinatown Murder Thriller" by Frank Gruber - Inspector Burke thought Sun Ti was a fool when he handed that hundred-thousand-dollar emerald to the first half-caste dock-rat that came along. He didn't know it would start a blood-circuit that would lead it, inevitably, back to the fat little Oriental's Curio-shop, in the hands of a walking corpse. "The Night of Ka-Sam - A Chinatown Murder Thriller" by Archie Oboler - Captain Don Wells, late of the Chinese Army, thought that body-guard assignment was a lead-pipe cinch - until his employer was knifed by the little yellow man. Then he began to learn all about Oriental torture from a past-master. "The Ring of the Re ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael C. Gwynne.

Rules of the Game , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 336min, (USK 18)

You need an attitude adjustment, Samantha Logan told Adam Rourke. She didn't care that he was rich, she didn't care that he was handsome, and she didn't care that her boss was his surrogate father. She tried to ignore the fact that his deep voice hit her behind the knees and made her feel oddly off balance. And she was sure those heart palpitations were the result of drinking two five-hour energy drinks in less than 30 minutes and definitely not from a pair of broad shoulders, green eyes, and a sexy stubble. He was way too cynical, thought he knew it all, and had her reaching for three Excedrin and a couple of Tums in less than five minutes! Samantha Logan, he decided, was the proverbial sexy librarian fantasy - with dancer's legs and a curvy ass. Her blonde hair was piled precariously on top of her head, held in place by a bright yellow pencil. A few flaxen wisps had escaped, teasing against a softly rounded face. Square blue-tinted eyeglasses highlighted even bluer eyes. She was smart, sassy, way too funny - and she had no idea she was all that. When she pulled the pencil from her topknot, he watched her hair untangle and drift down to her shoulders, in a sexy-just-out-of-bed, mess-me-up-more tumble. Adam hadn't realized he was even holding his breath, until he coughed in relief. Right now, she was mad! Her bare foot angrily tapping against the carpet. And way too sexy - he tried to blink that observation away. There was nothing left to do but apologize. But she had looked him straight in the eye and insulted him! Even after two tours of duty in Fallujah, Adam wasn't sure he could handle a woman who: wrangled a team of SEALS for the Wounded Warrior Project; was banned from singing, humming, or playing golf, had an oven timer that played Beethoven's Fifth; loved all things chocolate way too much; preferred puppy kisses over his; and owned a moose named Morti. There was only one thing for this M ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rachel Logan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/003246/bk_acx0_003246_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Time Shelter

"At one point they tried to calculate when time began, when exactly the earth had been created," begins Time Shelter's enigmatic narrator, who will go unnamed. "In the mid-seventeenth century, the Irish bishop Ussher calculated not only the exact year, but also a starting date: October 22, 4,004 years before Christ." But for our narrator, time as he knows it begins when he meets Gaustine, a "vagrant in time" who has distanced his life from contemporary reality by reading old news, wearing tattered old clothes, and haunting the lost avenues of the twentieth century. In an apricot-colored building in Zurich, surrounded by curiously planted forget-me-nots, Gaustine has opened the first "clinic for the past," an institution that offers an inspired treatment for Alzheimer's sufferers: each floor reproduces a past decade in minute detail, allowing patients to transport themselves back in time to unlock what is left of their fading memories. Serving as Gaustine's assistant, the narrator is tasked with collecting the flotsam and jetsam of the past, from 1960s furniture and 1940s shirt buttons to nostalgic scents and even wisps of afternoon light. But as the charade becomes more convincing, an increasing number of healthy people seek out the clinic to escape from the dead-end of their daily lives-a development that results in an unexpected conundrum when the past begins to invade the present. Through sharply satirical, labyrinth-like vignettes reminiscent of Italo Calvino and Franz Kafka, the narrator recounts in breathtaking prose just how he became entrenched in a plot to stop time itself. "A trickster at heart, and often very funny" (Garth Greenwell, The New Yorker), prolific Bulgarian author Georgi Gospodinov masterfully stalks the tragedies of the last century, including our own, in what becomes a haunting and eerily prescient novel teeming with ideas. Exquisitely translated by Angela Rodel, Time Shelter is a truly unforgettable classic from "one of Europe's most fascinating and irreplaceable novelists" (Dave Eggers).

Time Shelter: A Novel (eBook, ePUB)

An award-winning international sensation—with a second-act dystopian twist—Time Shelter is a tour de force set in a world clamoring for the past before it forgets. "At one point they tried to calculate when time began, when exactly the earth had been created,” begins Time Shelter's enigmatic narrator, who will go unnamed.
