    Even with eternity on his side, can he save her in time? Jackson's life is about to change. Again. In 1906, the San Francisco earthquake took everything from him. It took, but it also gave. He soon found he had been given the ability to...stop time, to "freeze" the world around him. That's not all. Even after 80 years of roaming the world, he hasn't aged a day. He lives the good life among tiny mortals. Stealing, bribing, stumbling his way into making a living. All this can be forgiven, he figures, as long as he keeps two rules. Just two, but they are absolute and non-negotiable: thou shalt not kill and family comes first. Now Jackson learns he is not the only one with these strange and wonderful powers. Now Jackson must make a choice, a choice that will change everything. The choice is: which rule will he break? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Clay Boutwell.

He catches a young woman, a peace campaigner, eavesdropping on a meeting the Group is holding with the British prime minister. The Group's interests include arms manufacture, and what Chet and the young woman overhear seems to imply that it is bribing the prime minister to take his country into an illegal war.

    From best-selling author Mike Lawson comes the latest installment in the award-winning Joe DeMarco series. As a fixer for influential congressman John Mahoney in Washington, DC, Joe DeMarco has found himself in plenty of unexpected and dangerous situations. In House Rivals, DeMarco is taken further out of his element than ever before, sent to North Dakota to protect a passionate but naïve 22-year-old blogger who has put herself in harm's way. The young woman is Sarah Johnson, whose grandfather saved Mahoney's life in Vietnam. For the past two years, Sarah has been on a relentless crusade against a billionaire oil tycoon who has profited handsomely from the natural gas boom in the Dakotas and who she believes has been bribing small-time politicians and judges to keep things in his favor. Though she has no hard evidence against the man, Sarah has been assaulted and received death threats for her meddling. DeMarco, given his years of experience bending the rules in DC, suspects that a middleman like himself is pulling strings for the tycoon. But as DeMarco tries to identify his adversaries, the situation turns unexpectedly violent, and DeMarco finds himself in a battle of wits against two ruthless problem solvers who will stop at nothing to win. ungekürzt.

    The Phantom of Fifth Avenue: The Mysterious Life and Scandalous Death of Heiress Huguette Clark , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 820min
    Born in 1906, Huguette Clark grew up in her family's 121-room Beaux Arts mansion in New York and was one of the leading celebrities of her day. Her father, William Andrews Clark, was a copper magnate, the second richest man in America, and not above bribing his way into the Senate. Huguette attended the coronation of King George V. And at 22, with a personal fortune of $50 million to her name, she married a Princeton man and childhood friend, William MacDonald Gower. Two-years later the couple divorced. After a series of failed romances, Huguette began to withdraw from society - first living with her mother in a kind of Grey Gardens isolation, then as a modern-day Miss Havisham, spending her days in a vast apartment overlooking Central Park, eating crackers and watching The Flintstones with only servants for company. All her money and all her real estate could not protect her in her later life from being manipulated by shady hangers-on and hospitals that were only too happy to admit (and bill) a healthy woman. But what happened to Huguette that turned a vivacious, young socialite into a recluse? And what was her life like inside that gilded, copper cage? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 637: Lena Dunham and the Child Abuse Witch Hunt: What Gives?, Hörbuch, Digital, 34min, (USK 18)
    Right-wing bloggers are skewering popular actress Lena Dunham. Why? Dunham wrote in her memoir about bribing her younger sister to kiss her and apply make-up when they were both children. Conservatives are crying abuse. Susie says give me a break! This misdirected focus on a celebrity is pathetic. Let's talk about real sexual predators and where they exist. Next, Susie reads a letter from Dan Savage's newspaper column Savage Love. The letter is from a parent who is perplexed about how to deal with a masturbating teenager. The worry is that his grades will fall and he'll become porn obsessed. Susie shares her thoughts; the grown-ups need to give the kid some privacy and what he's doing is normal. Then, in our "What's New on Audible" segment, Susie has an audio sample from a coming-of-age memoir to share: A Cup of Water Under My Bed by Daisy Hernadez, a journalist who chronicles what the women in her Cuban-Columbian family taught her about love, money, and race.

    Book one in the USA Today best-selling McMaster the Disaster series. Josephine McMaster is pretty and smart, but very much a klutzy mess. Finally, at 26, she may have actually lost the dreaded 'McMaster the Disaster' nickname that has followed her around her whole life. Josie's quite content to be single, much to her mother's disappointment. So when a bizarre contest is announced where a socialite is holding a lottery to pick her bridesmaids (and rake in a little extra cash), she can't roll her eyes fast enough, even if it does mean meeting Jake Hall, her one and only movie star crush. Obviously, Josie doesn't enter the bridesmaid lottery, so you can imagine her surprise when her picture pops up among the winners, thanks to Mom. With a little prodding - okay bribing - Josie agrees to participate. The wedding turns into the event of the year, and Josie finds herself in the middle of a paparazzi feeding frenzy, which gets even crazier after Jake Hall takes a special interest in her. Can Josie handle the pressure in the spotlight? Is it possible she might really have a chance with Jake Hall? And if she's busy worrying about all that, how in the heck is she going to keep 'McMaster the Disaster' from showing up in front of the entire world? ungekürzt. Language: English.
