Top Secret America: The Rise of the New American Security State , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 728min
The top-secret world that the government created in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks has become so enormous, so unwieldy, and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs or exactly how many agencies duplicate work being done elsewhere. The result is that the system put in place to keep the United States safe may be putting us in greater danger. In Top Secret America, award-winning reporters Dana Priest and William Arkin uncover the enormous size, shape, mission, and consequences of this invisible universe of over 1,300 government facilities in every state in America; nearly 2,000 outside companies used as contractors; and more than 850,000 people granted "Top Secret" security clearances. A landmark exposé of a new, secret "Fourth Branch" of American government, Top Secret America is a tour de force of investigative reporting - and sure to spark national and international alarm. ungekürzt.

The Nest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 666min
When Leo Plumb drives off drunk from a party in a sports car with a 19-year-old waitress in tow, to the moral and legal fallout must be added the horrible inconvenience to his brother and sisters. Leo's rehab costs have severely depleted 'the nest' - the family's joint trust fund that would have cut them loose from their myriad financial issues. For Melody, a suburban wife and mother, it was to cover both an unwieldy mortgage and her daughters' college tuition. Antiques dealer Jack has secretly borrowed against the beach cottage he shares with his husband. And Beatrice, a once-promising short story writer, can't seem to finish her overdue novel. Brought together as never before, the Plumb siblings must grapple with old resentments, present-day truths, and the significant emotional and financial toll of the accident as well as finally acknowledging the choices they have made in their own lives. Ferociously astute, warm and funny, The Nest is a brilliant debut chronicling the hilarity and savagery of family life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mia Barron.

Vitus Razor Disc 26 Kids Road Bike - Kinder- & Jugendräder
The Razor Disc 26 Kids features a strong and lightweight alloy frame equipped with a Microshift R9 9-Speed groupset and powerful Tektro disc brakes, this road race bike is the perfect stepping stone for junior racers' fast-paced group rides, weekend race events and training rides. And it also rolls upon durable 26" alloy Vitus wheels wrapped in high-grip Kenda Koncept tyres. There was a time when “buy big and let them grow into it” was the done thing. Not anymore. The Vitus Razor for kids puts an end to youngsters’ bikes looking and feeling unwieldy. At every age, a bike should fit properly. It should feel stable and easy to control, especially when your child is getting to grips with riding on the road. It should be fun and inspire confidence. It should be light and optimised for easy pedalling. It should be everything that the Razor Kids already is. The Razor Kids uses a lightweight aluminium frame with a geometry that is tailored for smaller sizes, so it feels like a road bike should. At the front, the bike combines a short stem with a compact handlebar to prevent awkward over-reaching. This means that when it comes to negotiating common road obstacles, such as potholes or wet drains, responsive handling enables your young rider to respond with control. Short-reach shifters are perfect for smaller hands and ensure that the powerful flat-mount disc brakes are always accessible. The bike arrives with 1-inch (25mm) tyres, but there is plenty of frame clearance to adapt the setup for wider tyre options if you want a touch more comfort or stability for routes that explore towpaths and rougher lanes. The Microshift groupset uses a single front chainring so maintenance is low, while at the back the rear derailleur, with clutch, keeps the shifting light and easy, so small fingers can quickly find the gear they need. The Razor is not just a drop-bar bike for kids. It’s a proper road bike and every detail has been chosen carefully to ensure that your young rider feels confident and stable. Start them out on the right road bike and inspire a lifetime of fun. The downside? You’ll soon be having to ride harder just to keep up.

The Keeper's Flame: A Pandoran Novel, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min
It's been five months since Daria Regius arrived at the castle, and her grandfather, the king, has stripped her of all freedoms, building even more barriers around her lonely life. But darkness moves. Rumors abound about a dark rider, sending ancient and unspeakable horrors to the territories, and the citizens of Gaia are filled with fear. And fear blurs the lines of loyalty and trust, honor and allegiance, and cultivates dissonance throughout the kingdom. The people are anxious for this year's games, because this year, according to prophecy, selecting a champion means a true king can be chosen, and only once that true king is chosen can the people have any hopes of defeating the evil amassing around them. Propelled by fear for those she loves, unexpected friendships, and harrowing betrayal, Daria must gain the courage to escape the barriers set around her life and confront the evil that threatens to destroy Gaia - before it finds her and takes her life first. Packed with action, plot twists and unwieldy magic, the tension rises in this YA fantasy sequel from author Barbara Kloss. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vanessa Moyen.

Everybody's Normal Till You Get to Know Them , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 481min
Normal? Who's normal? Not you, that's for sure! No one you've ever met, either. None of us are normal according to God's definition, and the closer we get to each other, the plainer that is.Yet for all our quirks, sins, and jagged edges, we need each other. Community is more than just a word; it is one of our most fundamental requirements. So how do flawed, abnormal people such as ourselves master the forces that can drive us apart and come together in the life-changing relationships God designed us for?In Everybody's Normal Till You Get to Know Them, teacher and best-selling author John Ortberg zooms in on the things that make community tick. You'll get a thought-provoking look at God's heart, at others, and at yourself. Even better, you'll gain wisdom and tools for drawing closer to others in powerful, impactful ways. With humor, insight, and a gift for storytelling, Ortberg shows how community pays tremendous dividends in happiness, health, support, and growth. It's where all of us weird, unwieldy people encounter God's love in tangible ways and discover the transforming power of being loved, accepted, and valued just the way we are. ungekürzt.
