Betrayal. Conspiracy. Murder. Jack Higgins is back. Disillusioned with the Putin government, famous Russian writer and ex-paratrooper Alexander Kurbsky decides he wants to disappear into the West. However, he is under no illusions about how the news will be greeted at home - he has seen too many of his countrymen die mysteriously at the hands of the thuggish Russian security services, so he makes elaborate plans with Charles Ferguson, Sean Dillon, and the rest of the group known informally as the Prime Minister's private army for his escape and concealment. It's a real coup for the West...except for one thing. Kurbsky is still working for the Russians. The plan is to infiltrate British and American intelligence at the highest levels, and he has his own motivations for doing the most effective job possible.

Ice and Bone: Tracking an Alaskan Serial Killer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min

On a clear, brisk night in September 2000, 33-year-old Della Brown was found sexually assaulted and beaten to death inside a filthy, abandoned shed in a seedy part of Anchorage, Alaska. She was one of six women, mostly Native Alaskan, slain that year, stoking fears a serial killer was on the loose. A tanned and thuggish 20-year-old would eventually implicate himself in three of the women's deaths and confess in detail to Della's murder. Yet after a three-month trial, Joshua Wade would walk free. In 2007, when Wade kidnapped a well-loved nurse psychologist from her home and then executed her in the remote wilderness of Wasilla, two astute female detectives joined forces to finally bring him to justice. Ice and Bone is the chilling true account of how a demented murderer initially evaded police and avoided conviction only to slip back into the shadows and kill again. Journalist and writer Monte Francis tells the harrowing story of what eventually led to Wade's capture and reveals why the true scope of his murderous rampage is only now, more than a decade later, coming into view. ungekürzt.

The Unsung. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 870min

This is Norráma. It is now the age of life. Everything that breathes has a soul. Man is but one of the world’s children. Knaks is a kingdom of men. Its king is descended from Woden himself. He will not share the land his ancestors have housebroken. But the world is older than this one age. Forgotten horrors writhe beneath its newborn skin. Glory seekers, desperate for renown, prod every boil they can find. And what bursts forth, not all of it can be stopped. A self-taught swordsman from the downfallen North. A great tuskcat, his steed and soul-brother. A demoniacal warrior-wizard wielding powers he does not understand. A thuggish priest. A man of nine bloods, whose genetic roulette has made him a superman. What they awaken overflows the scales of good and evil and threatens to drown the very world they sought to champion. A masterwork of worldcraft; a tribute to its genre; a work of fantasy decades in the making. The Unsung. explores the edge between boldness and blindness, pitting indomitable hope against devastating loss and asking what it is to live by the words "If you’re not remembered, you never existed". ungekürzt.

Broadsides: The Age of Fighting Sail, 1775-1815 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 930min

In the late 18th century, it was widely thought that to be a sailor was little better than to be a slave. "No man will be a sailor," wrote Samuel Johnson, "who has contrivance enough to get himself into jail. A man in jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company."If that were true, historian Nathan Miller suggests, then the record of sailing in the age of tall ships would likely be distinguished by few heroes and fewer grand narratives. He counters that in the regular navies of England, the fledgling United States, and most other nations, brutal captains and thuggish crewmen were rare, and professionalism was the order of the day. It was their high standard of service that made those naval forces such powerful, even indispensable arms of the land-based military. Miller's great hero throughout this fine history is Horatio Nelson, whose valor was exemplary throughout countless battles around the world. But he writes with equal admiration of lesser-known figures, such as Lambert Wickes, Pierre de Villeneuve, Juan de Cordova, and "Foul Weather Jack" Byron, who served their nations and fellow sailors well, and often heroically.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.

The Marseille Caper , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 351min

Lovable rogue and sleuth extraordinaire Sam Levitt is back in another beguiling, as-only-Peter-Mayle-can-write-it romp through the South of France. At the end of The Vintage Caper, Sam had just carried off a staggering feat of derring-do in the heart of Bordeaux, infiltrating the ranks of the French elite to rescue a stolen, priceless wine collection. With the questionable legality of the adventure - and the threat of some very powerful enemies! - Sam thought it’d be a while before he returned to France, especially with the charms of the beautiful Elena Morales to keep him in Los Angeles. But when the immensely wealthy Francis Reboul - the victim of Sam’s last heist but someone who knows talent when he sees it - asks our hero to take a job in Marseille, it’s impossible for Sam and Elena to resist the possibility of further excitement... to say nothing of the pleasures of the region. Soon the two are enjoying the coastal sunshine and the delectable food and wine for which Marseille is known. Yet as a competition over Marseille’s valuable waterfront grows more hotly disputed, Sam, representing Reboul, finds himself in the middle of an increasingly intrigue-ridden and dangerous real-estate grab, with thuggish gangsters on one side and sharklike developers on the other. Will Sam survive this caper unscathed? Will he live to enjoy another bowl of bouillabaisse? All will be revealed - with luck, savvy, and a lot of help from Sam’s friends - in the novel’s wonderfully satisfying climax. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robin Sachs.

The Jessup Dimension , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 325min

In 1959, on April 20th (a date that has hosted a succession of terror events in recent years), noted astronomer and ufologist Morris K. Jessup was found dead in his car in Dade County, Florida - an apparent suicide. Jessup, a firm believer that UFOs were not from outer space, was the first researcher to expound intelligently on the terrestrial thesis, and his death sparked rumors that he had been taken out by the thuggish enforcers of the extraterrestrial thesis, the Men in Black. Through a series of odd psychic messages, Anna Genzlinger, who had read about Jessup in a book about the Bermuda Triangle, was spurred to investigate his death as a murder, not a suicide. Genzlinger, who felt that Jessup had been driven to kill himself by government agents (because he knew too much about the Philadelphia Experiment), collected evidence to substantiate her intuition. The result was The Jessup Dimension, first published in 1981 by Gray Barker's Saucerian Press. By the time Barker died in 1984, the book had been thoroughly suppressed, eventually becoming so rare that original copies fetched thousands of dollars. In this book, taken directly from the original manuscript, Genzlinger describes in gripping detail how Jessup's ghost guided her in her investigation. Despite being warned off by several spooks in the UFO field, Genzlinger courageously continues on, ignoring threats of her imminent demise. This special 2014 edition features revealing introductions by researchers Peter Moon and Andy Colvin, as well as fascinating recent material from Laura Knight-Jadczyk, Adam Gorightly, and Jack Sarfatti. ungekürzt.

Bunker Hill: A City, a Siege, a Revolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 778min

Nathaniel Philbrick, the bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea and Mayflower, brings his prodigious talents to the story of the Boston battle that ignited the American Revolution. Boston in 1775 is an island city occupied by British troops after a series of incendiary incidents by patriots who range from sober citizens to thuggish vigilantes. After the Boston Tea Party, British and American soldiers and Massachusetts residents have warily maneuvered around each other until April 19, when violence finally erupts at Lexington and Concord. In June, however, with the city cut off from supplies by a British blockade and Patriot militia poised in siege, skirmishes give way to outright war in the Battle of Bunker Hill. It would be the bloodiest battle of the Revolution to come, and the point of no return for the rebellious colonists. Philbrick brings a fresh perspective to every aspect of the story. He finds new characters, and new facets to familiar ones. The real work of choreographing rebellion falls to a thirty-three year old physician named Joseph Warren who emerges as the on-the-ground leader of the Patriot cause and is fated to die at Bunker Hill. Others in the cast include Paul Revere, Warren's fiancee, the poet Mercy Scollay, a newly recruited George Washington, the reluctant British combatant General Thomas Gage and his more bellicose successor William Howe, who leads the three charges at Bunker Hill and presides over the claustrophobic cauldron of a city under siege as both sides play a nervy game of brinkmanship for control. With passion and insight, Philbrick reconstructs the revolutionary landscape - geographic and ideological - in a mesmerizing narrative of the robust, messy, blisteringly real origins of America. ungekürzt.

A veteran hockey writer takes on hockey culture and the NHL, addressing the game's most controversial issue. Whether it's on-ice fist fights or head shots into the glass, hockey has become a nightly news spectacle with players pummeling and bashing each other across the ice like drunken gladiators. And while the NHL may actually condone on-ice violence as a ticket draw, diehard hockey fan and expert Adam Proteau argues against hockey's transformation into a thuggish blood sport. In Fighting the Good Fight, Proteau sheds light on the many perspectives of those in and around the game, with interviews of current and former NHL stars, coaches, general managers, and league executives, as well as medical experts. One of the most well-known media figures on the hockey scene today, famous for his funny, feisty observations as a writer for the Toronto Star and The Hockey News and commentator on CBC radio and TV, Adam Proteau is also one of the few mainstream media voices who is vehemently anti-fighting in hockey. Not only is his book a plea to the game's gatekeepers to finally clamp down on the runaway violence that permeates the sport even at its highest level, he offers realistic suggestions on ways to finally clean the game up.Includes interviews with medical experts on head injuries and concussions, as well as with other members of the mediaThe author not only wages an attack on the value of fighting in hockey, but also on the establishment hockey culture Covering the most polarizing issue in hockey today, Fighting the Good Fight gives hockey fans and sports lovers everywhere a reason to stamp their feet and whistle at a rare display of eloquence and common sense. ungekürzt.
