    This Rough Ocean , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1437min
    It is December, 1648, and England faces one of the greatest crises in its history. Bands of renegade soldiers and broken men roam the countryside, looting, burning, and raping. In Parliament, former allies are torn apart after six years of bloody conflict. Will there be peace instead of war, or a military takeover of the country?  John Swynfen, a rising young MP and one of the leaders of the moderate party, is working for peace, but only if safeguards can be established to protect Parliament and control the powers of the king. Ranged against him and his friends are Oliver Cromwell and his son-in-law Henry Ireton, intent on seizing power by the sword and destroying not only the monarchy but the elected government. Within a few weeks, London is occupied by Cromwell's army, parliamentary government is in ruins, the king is executed. And John Swynfen is a prisoner.  Anne Swynfen travels home from Westminster to Staffordshire with her young children through a desperate winter. There, uncertain whether she will ever see her husband again, she takes charge of the large estate, where starvation looms due to bad harvests, and violent danger threatens from outlaws and the armies of both sides. While she struggles against prejudice to do a man's job, John is shot, beaten, shackled, humiliated, and tortured. Tempted by golden promises if he recants, threatened with death if he does not, he tries to cling to his sanity and his beliefs. When he finally escapes, he begins a terrible journey home across war-torn England to find his wife.  This is a story about keeping faith - many kinds of faith - in the face of terror, anguish, and despair. ungekürzt.

The trick is remaining calm and preparing oneself for any eventuality. But even I failed to anticipate my former boss Malcolm crossing an ocean to bribe me for my help. He insists I’m the only one who can fix his problem, but I had an excellent reason for leaving that job in the first place and putting an ocean between us. It’s hard to keep the big picture in mind when you’re secretly in love with your boss. And even harder when he’s about to be crowned a king.MalcolmBeing a prince certainly has its perks: money, cars, women, and a license to do just about anything I please. But since my assistant Alice resigned out of the blue, I’ve been unable to find my footing and have admittedly been a bit cranky.When a problem arises calling for the utmost discretion, it’s clear Alice is the only woman for the job. But she’s less than thrilled at being coerced into returning, and she’s doing her best to make me pay for it. With the clock ticking down to my coronation, I’m putting all my trust in her to see me through. But the stakes are getting higher because Alice is beginning to look more like my future than even the throne I was born to take.Stealing Kisses with a King is book three in the Kings of Carolina series.

    Out of Hell's Kitchen , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 722min
    You don't know what hell is until you try to get out of it....Luke Hawthorn's world is crumbling around him. After his mother, an NCIS (National Criminal Intelligence Service) operative is killed in a mysterious house fire, he learns that she was investigating a new designer drug linked to the death of some 200 London club-goers. Among the victims: One of Luke's closest friends.So when an enigmatic uncle appears at the funeral and offers Luke a home in New York, he jumps at the opportunity to leave his old life behind. But he soon finds that despite the vast ocean separating Hell's Kitchen from London, his worlds are destined to collide.What really killed Luke's mother? Why is a Russian submarine docked in New York? Who created the designer drug known as Rave-N? Get Out of Hell's Kitchen and find out for yourself.The Bottom Line: An engrossing, atmospheric organized crime thriller that crackles with energy from the first page to the very last. Highly recommended.Author John Hanzl has created a highly successful crime thriller that works on multiple levels. In particular, his gift for authentic dialogue - across Russian, English, Irish, and Honduran characters, no less - is exceedingly good. As a result, each successive chapter is an immersive experience in which Luke navigates new cultures and mysteries to find the truth that can save not only himself, but countless others as well.In Luke's Uncle, Hanzl has drawn an imposing, complex figurehead that manages to intimidate, even in his most charitable moments. As in Dennis Lehane's best work, Hanzl manages to keep you guessing about the uncle's true intentions until the last possible moment.”John Hanzl's writing style and story are similar in some ways to Robert Ludlum's earlier novels, a definite plus. John has an exciting style which draws you in and keeps you turning the pages” (Kaye Trout, Midwest Book Review) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Philip Battley.
