Ancestor by Scott Sigler (Audiobook)
Publisher: Random House Audio | ISBN: N/A | edition 2010 | MP3 | 293 MB
In Sigler’s timely tale of science run amok, Genada, a renegade biotech firm, is striving to synthesize a proto-mammal similar to the prehistoric entity that all mammalian life sprang from as a source of transplantable organs that the human body won’t reject. Pressured for results before the government shuts down her lab, the firm’s lead medico, Liu Jian Den, introduces something unorthodox into the creature’s genome.
The result: oversized and ravenously hungry embryos that eat their way out of the bovine wombs incubating them. A small band of scientists wind up trapped with the creatures on a Lake Superior island, where they become the prey of predators that pose a threat to life as we know it. Sigler (Contagious) stuffs his story with an overabundance of speculative science, but the cinematic pacing keeps the action relentless and suspenseful. Its many pulpy flourishes notwithstanding, this is that rare horror B-movie of a thriller that compels reading until the final page. 10–15-city author tour.

Christie Ridgway, “The Care and Feeding of Unmarried Men”
Avon | 2006 | ISBN: 0060763507 | 384 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Page Four asks: Which Palm Springs party girl has been caught canoodling with an out-of-town “Adam”?

Eve Caruso keeps her finger on the pulse of Palm Springs and reports every spicy celebrity tidbit to her loyal readers. She knows everyone in this town—except that mysterious hunk who just strolled into the exclusive spa where she’s conferring with hot new starlet Jemima Cargill.
Nash Cargill—nicknamed “The Preacher” by all his rowdy friends—is here to protect his flighty sister from a stalker, not fall for a sexy society columnist. But Eve has the perfect name—she’s wildly tempting. Nash should resist; after all, her luscious lips speak trouble, her two sisters are too interested in their affair, and the rest of her family defines “notorious.” But Eve is more vulnerable than she seems, and Nash has never said “no” to a lady in distress . . .
From Booklist
Can a Mafia princess nicknamed “Party Girl” find common ground with a monster-truck driver called “the Preacher”? Society columnist Eve Caruso has moved back to the family spa in Palm Springs after secretly losing her fortune on an insider trading tip gone wrong. Still grieving for the father she lost at age 12, she doesn’t want anybody to know that now she has lost everything. The only way to stay out of jail is to get the goods on the former lover who is responsible for her financial troubles. This requires mingling with the rich and famous, in spite of her lack of self-confidence. Meanwhile, larger-than-life Nash Cargill, worried that a stalker is after his actress sister, is prowling the grounds of the Kona Kai Spa to keep her safe. Big and brawny, with a good-old-boy demeanor, overly protective Nash can’t stop himself from trying to save Eve. Ridgway continues the fascinating story of the Caruso family, first seen in An Offer He Can’t Refuse (2005). Diana Tixier Herald

The Roots of Obama’s Rage by Dinesh D’Souza (Audiobook)
Publisher: Blackstone Audio | ISBN: 1441761683 | edition 2010 | MP3 | 204 MB
Americans want a president who is a servant — not a monster. But unfortunately, a Hobbesian “leviathan” is exactly what we have, says bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza. In his blockbuster new book, The Obama Leviathan: The Perversion of the American Dream, D’Souza reveals Obama and his leftist cohorts to be the embodiment of Hobbes’s leviathan: a liberal behemoth that is intent on running every aspect of our lives through invasive government policies.
By examining Obama’s domestic, foreign, and social policies, D’Souza exposes how Obama’s philosophy towards government is threatening not only our economic and personal freedom, but America’s national sovereignty. Insightful and compelling, The Obama Leviathan shows readers how they can keep the liberal beast that is Team Obama in check, and how we can take back this great nation and restore her fundamental values.

Star Wars: Red Harvest by Joe Schreiber (Audiobook)
Publisher: Random House Audio | ISBN: 0307879356 | edition 2010 | MP3 | 212 MB
The era of the Old Republic is a dark and dangerous time, as Jedi Knights valiantly battle the Sith Lords and their ruthless armies. But the Sith have disturbing plans—and none more so than the fulfillment of Darth Scabrous’s fanatical dream, which is about to become nightmarish reality.

Unlike those other Jedi sidelined to the Agricultural Corps—young Jedi whose abilities have not proved up to snuff—Hestizo Trace possesses one extraordinary Force talent: a gift with plants. Suddenly her quiet existence among greenhouse and garden specimens is violently destroyed by the arrival of an emissary from Darth Scabrous. For the rare black orchid that she has nurtured and bonded with is the final ingredient in an ancient Sith formula that promises to grant Darth Scabrous his greatest desire.
But at the heart of the formula is a never-before-seen virus that’s worse than fatal—it doesn’t just kill, it transforms. Now the rotting, ravenous dead are rising, driven by a bloodthirsty hunger for all things living—and commanded by a Sith Master with an insatiable lust for power and the ultimate prize: immortality . . . no matter the cost.
