Place of Fear , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 848min
Deep in the rainforest of Guatemala, a missing scientist, long given up for dead, languishes in a lightless prison cell. Fueled by a powerful, unknown narcotic, his senses are on fire; he can feel them expanding far beyond human bounds, even as the drug tears at his sanity. Upon learning that his friend is alive, Carson Grant mounts a frenzied rescue before the appointed time of execution. While a cutthroat band of looters, seeking easy riches, closes in for the kill, Grant stumbles onto the remnant of a mysterious hybrid civilization intent on destroying anyone that threatens to expose it. Trapped and desperate, Grant entrusts his team's survival into the hands of a young Maya cop and his beautiful, haunted sister. Winner of the 2012 Royal Palm Literary Award, Place of Fear propels you inexorably toward a collision between Norse myth and Maya history, wherein only ultimate sacrifice brings survival. Place of Fear is the stunning prequel hinted at in Brigands Key, the thriller described by The Florida Weekly as "a perfect storm of menace...breathtaking!" Fans of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, James Rollins, and Steve Berry will find in Place of Fear to be a pause-resisting adventure and absorbing mystery that will keep them listening long into the night. ungekürzt.

Designing Gotham: West Point Engineers and the Rise of Modern New York, 1817-1898 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 516min
Between 1817 and 1898, New York City evolved from a vital Atlantic port of trade to the center of American commerce and culture. Although this important urban transformation is well documented, the critical role of select Union soldiers turned New York engineers has, until now, remained largely unexplored. In Designing Gotham, Jon Scott Logel examines the fascinating careers of George S. Greene, Egbert L. Viele, John Newton, Henry Warner Slocum, and Fitz John Porter, all of who studied engineering at West Point, served in the US Army during the Civil War, and later advanced their civilian careers and status through the creation of Victorian New York. After the war these industrious professionals leveraged their education and military experience to wield significant influence during New York's social, economic, and political transformation. Logel examines how each engineer's Civil War service shaped his contributions to postwar activities in the city, including the construction of the Croton Aqueduct, the creation of Central Park, and the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. Examining the West Pointers' experiences - as cadets, military officers during the war, and New Yorkers - Logel assesses how these men impacted the growing metropolis, the rise of professionalization, and the advent of Progressivism at the end of the century. The book is published by Louisiana State University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Kamish. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/093696/bk_acx0_093696_sample.mp3.

Do You Solemnly Swear?: A Nation of Law, The Dark Side , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 523min
What if your former girlfriend decides to use her 6-year-old daughter to punish you for breaking up with her? How do you prove that you are innocent of the worst case of sexual perversion against a child? Is it possible to refute the lies of a beautiful, seemingly innocent, little girl? When Gabe McAllister, decorated former Marine and respected Texas State Trooper, walked out of his condo in West Houston on a Tuesday morning to head to a meeting of the newly formed task force of the DEA, Texas State Police and Border Patrol, he found five Houston cops waiting to collar him for the rape of 6-year-old Annie Bridges. His next several days and weeks are a blur as he realizes belatedly that he has no chance against his diminutive accuser. His implicit trust in the fairness of the justice system shattered, McAllister lands in the Huntsville prison, sentenced to three counts of 20-to-life sentences. In the sequel to The Fragrance Shed By a Violet, Lin Wilder embroils characters in another complex web of dysfunctional family, deceit, revenge, and the politics of courtrooms. Pulitzer Prize reporter Kate Townsend's front page story for her newspaper, The Houston Tribune, about a juror - the foreman of McAllister's jury - stepping forward to speak about the case and her concern about why McAllister was not granted a retrial, galvanizes Houstonians once again: Had a Houston jury convicted another innocent person? Dr. Lindsey McCall, former inmate at Huntsville and now Medical Director at the Prisons, and Rich Jansen, Chief Warden at the prisons, are faced with the all-too-familiar question of just how involved should they get as Townsend begins to dig into the background of little Annie Bridges and her mother. When Townsend reveals the details of her new investigative series: A Nation of Law: The Dark Side, Jansen is more than intrigued. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Kamish.

The Billionaire Triplets, eight-month-old baby brothers, Hunter, Ryland & Marco, are thrilled that their Mamma and Papa are finally getting married. On the eve of the big fat Spanish wedding in Barcelona, Spain, they decide to become matchmakers for their beloved nanny, and their Mamma's sister, Auntie Joan, when Hunter witnessed her face light up after a chance encounter with a handsome man in a café. Turns out, Marco knows who the handsome young man is. It's Antonio Ferraro, a notorious playboy and star striker for Italy's soccer team, AC Milan. Also, Antonio is connected to their father, Julio Torres, the billionaire who's about to marry their mother. It's a perfect match - as far as the triplets are concerned, but their plans to play Cupid are turned upside down when they learn that Auntie Joan and the soccer star have a troubling history that's threatening to keep them apart. To add insult to injury, Antonio has been a very bad boy, and now he's in serious deep doo-doo with some scary and dangerous men. Antonio has a gambling problem? What does that even mean? The triplets are too young to know when it's time to quit, so they decide to keep trying. They can tell that Antonio Ferraro really cares about their Auntie Joan, and they've seen the way she looks at him. It's the same look that their Mamma and Papa have just before they get all kissy, (Yuck!). They want their Auntie Joan to have the same happiness that their parents have, and they recognize true love when they see it - even if the silly adults are too stubborn to see it themselves.
