Fegan has been a "hard man" - an IRA killer in Northern Ireland. Now that peace has come, he is being haunted day and night by 12 ghosts: a mother and infant, a schoolboy, a butcher, an RUC constable, and seven other of his innocent victims. In order to appease them, he's going to have to kill the men who gave him orders.

As he's working his way down the list, he encounters a woman who may offer him redemption; she has borne a child to an RUC officer and is an outsider too. Now he has given Fate - and his quarry - a hostage. Is this Fegan's ultimate mistake?

What If? - Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions

Whispersync: no deals at this time

From the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd comes this hilarious and informative book of answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask.

Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following. Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent of the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there were a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last?

In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by signature xkcd comics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion.

The book features new and never-before-answered questions, along with updated and expanded versions of the most popular answers from the xkcd website. What If? will be required listening for xkcd fans and anyone who loves to ponder the hypothetical.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

I was just offered from Amazon's website a 3 month trial to Audible for $0! I took it! It said it was for Prime members. I qualified even though I just cancelled back in March on a last Trial offer that one was for $3. So you might want to check your Prime members page.

Any special place to look? I don't see any Audible offer, but I do see that Same Day Delivery is now available in my area! (So it was worthwhile to check the page, is all I'm sayin'.)

It shows up for me. It only showed up as eligible after I had completed the 3 month for $3 offer. I haven't done any trials since that time; I was keeping my powder dry for a B4G$10 that looks like will never happen.

I've had this offer before and they're not anxious to let me have another go at it. Oh well. Eventually, one of these offers will open up so I can continue collecting Harry Potter.

When I click on the link, I'm taken to a webpage that says:
"The Prime 3-month offer is available to new customers who have not had a chance to try Audible yet. It looks like you're already an Audible member - thank you!"

I am only a ListenerLight member. Sometimes I'm considered a real member of Audible and sometimes I'm not. In this case, I am considered a member.

The only time you're considered a member is when it's to your disadvantage
