FREE/BARGAIN — Audiobooks

[skinmaan]

Another Audible freebie.

• FREE -- Kid Normal -- Greg James, Chris Smith / 6.4 hrs --> Kids' Sci-Fi

When Murph Cooper rocks up to his new school, he can't help but feel a bit out of his depth. And it's not because he's worried about where to sit, and making friends, and fitting in, or not knowing where the loos are.

It's because his mum has enrolled him at a school for superheroes by mistake. And unlike his fellow students Murph has no special abilities whatsoever. But just because you don't have superpowers, it doesn't mean you can't save the day....

Enjoy!

The Shepherd Thrillers (book 1)

TO STOP A MONSTER

Marcus Williams and Francis Ackerman Jr. both have a talent for hurting people. Marcus, a former New York City homicide detective, uses his abilities to protect others while Ackerman uses his gifts to inflict pain and suffering.

HE MUST EMBRACE THE MONSTER WITHIN HIMSELF

When both men become unwilling pawns in a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of our government, Marcus finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse trapped between a twisted psychopath and a vigilante with seemingly unlimited resources. Aided by a rogue FBI agent and the vigilante’s beautiful daughter—a woman with whom he’s quickly falling in love—Marcus must expose the deadly political conspiracy and confront his past while hunting down one of the most cunning and ruthless killers in the world.

Rental FAQ

• Spoiler:

  When does my rental period begin?
  
  Your rental timer will begin counting down when you first initiate the download on your device or 10 days after purchase, whichever comes first.

  How long can I listen to a title?
  
  All digital rentals provide a minimum of 30 days to listen to a book from the time you initiate your first download. With some of our longer books, such as Atlas Shrugged (63hrs), we extend the listening period to 60 days. You do have the option of purchasing a 5, 10, or 20 day extension after you have made your rental purchase.

  How many times can I listen to my rental?
  
  You may listen to a rental as many times as you would like until it expires.

  Can I extend my rental time period?
  
  Once you are logged into your Downpour.com account, you can purchase a time extension for any of your previous rentals via THIS link. After clicking “Extend Rental,” you have the option of purchasing a 5-day ($1.95), 10-day ($2.95) or 20-day ($4.95) extension. If your rental has not yet expired, the purchased time will be added onto your rental. (Example: if your rental has one day remaining, and you purchase a five-day extension, you will now have six days total before your rental expires.) If your rental has already expired, the extension will allow you to listen to your book again for the amount of time purchased.

  Can I have the same rental on more than one device?
  
  You may listen to your audiobook rental on as many personal devices as you own. Your rental time will be synced across all devices on which you have installed the Downpour app.

Free 2 months Audible trial with 2 credits, 1 free month Audible Escape, 3 Rhys Bowen titles @ $5.95 and 4 Great Courses titles @ $6.95 in the two recent sales -- plus $5 Audible courtesy credit the first time I went on Chat to ask about the defunct tracker on the Audible Challenge. Am cancelling my Audible account now, as renewal is on March 28th.

Thanks to Tubemonkey and all the other contributors here who kept us up-to-date with this appropriately-named "Challenge"! Keep safe and healthy, everybody. We certainly are living in challenging times.

YW - I've already spent my $20 and cancelled my membership. My lengthy phone call didn't net me any courtesy credits, though I'm happy for those that did.

You're right about the challenge bit. The real challenge wasn't listening to three books. Instead, the challenge was getting Audible to honor the terms of the promo.

Thanks, you stay safe too
