Ship Wrecked: Stranded on an Alien World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 531min
A wicked snowstorm had blown in from the north and the roads were a mess. Recently split from his one-time girlfriend, there was now nothing holding Cameron Decker here in the little backwater mountain town of Larksburg Stand. Time to get back to college, back to Stanford. Seeing a guy knee-deep in slush at the side of the road, he pulled to the curb and waved him over. The guy smacked his head getting in - knocked his watch cap askew. Only then did Cameron notice - noticed that the individual couldn't possibly be human. Cameron decided to help his stranded passenger - a decision he'd soon come to regret. Along with his rust-bucket of a pickup truck, he was soon heading deep into space aboard an interstellar spacecraft. After the vessel crash-landed onto an alien world, he would now have to contend with a murderous droid and a slew of strange alien life forms. But it is the 45-foot tall killer beast - a Minal Loth - that will impact is life the most. Marooned, Cameron must keep his wits to survive long enough to find a way to return home - back to that little mountain town, and that girl, who he should never have left in the first place. ungekürzt.

Mindset and Psychology of Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 46min
When I was a young writer, only beginning, something happened that changed my entire life. I had been obsessed with knowing how folks deal with failures, and I chose to examine it by observing how students grapple with challenging issues. I brought kids one at a time into some space in their college, made them more comfortable, then gave them a set of puzzles to solve. The initial ones were rather simple, but the upcoming ones were tough. As the pupils grunted, perspired, and so forth, I saw their plans and probed exactly what they were feeling and thinking. I expected differences between kids in the way they dealt with the problem, but I found something that I never anticipated. Confronted with all the puzzles that are hard, one 10-year-old boy pulled his chair up, rubbed his palms together, smacked, his lips and shouted out, "I really like a challenge!" Still another, perspiring away on those puzzles, appeared with a happy expression and stated with power, "You understand, I had been hoping this could be enlightening!" What is wrong with them? I wondered. I thought you dealt with disappointment or you did not deal with failure. I never believed anyone adored failure. Were those alien kids or were they something else? ungekürzt.

Guiding Hands , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 228min
Uma and Cam are a happily married couple living in a small but affluent town on the east coast of North America. To promote her new business, Uma seizes the opportunity to use the local country club and its regular golfing tournaments to raise the venture's profile. She finds a team ringer in Bill, a handsome, successful businessman with important contacts and who plays a great game of golf. In creating her foursome, she also enlists her long-time friend, Laurie, who is unhappily down on her luck. Laurie's unhappiness, and her bad track record with men, make her behave badly toward Bill, who is confident in matters of business, but not confident around women. At first, Cam is concerned that Bill and Laurie could blow Uma's plan apart. But, when these two personalities collide, it's more than golf balls that get smacked on the course. Laurie needs a firm, guiding hand, and Bill is just the man to provide it. As he watches Bill and Laurie's relationship blossom, Cam sees the potential to nurture his and Uma's own prickly relationship. Will Uma's experiment in teambuilding backfire, or will the fire lit on the ladies' backsides lead to success in more than just a business sense? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karen Tyler.

Good Enough to Dream , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 722min
Roger Kahn's first major league hit was a grand slam: The Boys of Summer, his runaway best seller that immortalized the 1950s Brooklyn Dodgers. Now Kahn does the same for players whose moment in the sun has not yet arrived. Good Enough to Dream is the story of his year as owner of the Class A, very minor league, Utica Blue Sox. Most of the Blue Sox will never make it to the majors, but they all share the dream that links the small child in the sandlot with the bonus baby who has just smacked one out of the stadium. It's a dream Kahn learned from his father, and in the course of a season, passes on to his daughter - hours of practice for a moment of poetry; a hard living but a touch of legend. Good Enough to Dream presents baseball unadorned, a game still sweet enough to lure grown men to leagues where first-class transportation is an old school bus and the infield is likely to be the consistency of thick soup. It is a funny and poignant story of one season and one special team that will make us hesitate before we ever call anything "bush league" again. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Book 1 in the Nature of Desire series. Lauren is a successful doctor with a healthy attitude toward sex, unashamed of her proclivities as a sexual dominant. She wants love and a family, but she's beginning to believe there is no Mr. Right willing to stand by her in sickness and health...and be cuffed, stripped, and smacked with a riding crop. Then her friend Lisette invites her to spend a long weekend on a private island. It turns out Lisette can't come with her, but Lauren opts to go anyway, with no one for company but Joshua, the island caretaker, and his visiting friend, Marcus. Though both men are beautiful, it is Joshua that catches Lauren's attention, and not just because Marcus prefers men. Something in Josh's stormy eyes calls to her.

Josh overwhelms her with his willingness to submit to her body's desires, but her heart wants to get to the secrets behind those eyes.

Barnstormers: Game 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 134min
As the Travelin' Nine head to Chicago, the team is filled with hope and optimism. After a disappointing loss in Cincinnati at the start of their baseball tour, the heroes of the Spanish-American War bounced back in Louisville. Doc and Woody came through with timely fielding, Crazy Feet and Tales smacked clutch hits, and champion horses provided that extra kick, helping the barnstormers to their come-from-behind victory. By the end of the thrilling contest, there was no doubt in the minds of Griffith, Ruby, and Graham that the baseball their Uncle Owen had given to them on the night of their father's funeral was magical. Indeed, the mysteries surrounding their baseball, which their uncle had urged them to keep secret, were deepening. And as excited as they were by the barnstormers' win, the Payne siblings' fears and worries continued to grow. Uncle Owen's tattered, bloody letter had warned them about the Chancellor. What's more, they'd seen the Chancellor's men lurking at the Louisville game. Griffith and Ruby now realized that their adventure was about far more than raising money to pay off a family debt. But what exactly was it about? After the Louisville match, Griffith confronted his mother. She denied that the Chancellor could be involved, but she promised to answer all of Griffith's questions on the train to Chicago. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Josh Hamilton.

This is an amazing true story of a female civilian employee of the Army Corps of Engineers in Basrah and Nasiriyah, Iraq. She was riding in a truck with men when a roadside bomb destroyed the vehicle. Her body was so severely damaged, there was no possible way she could live.

She retained the conscious memory of what happened, and during the time in the hospital more details returned. This is the amazing story of survival in wartime conditions. This has happened to many others in Iraq, but how many remember the spirit side of the experience? Before this experience, Sudman was dubious about anything that smacked of the paranormal.

That all changes when Jack and Ivy discover a body in a corn maze and Ivy is overcome by a dark foreboding that renders her unconscious. After sitting vigil, Jack is relieved when Ivy opens her eyes. He's not bothered - only curious - when she tells him what happened. As she recovers, Ivy realizes she's seeing through a killer's eyes.
