  Love's Saboteur: Pioneers of the Romantic Western , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 420min

  Love, betrayal, gunfights, and stolen kisses highlight this classic novel of a German threat to America's beef herds during WWII, by the woman who pioneered the romantic Westerns!Dolores Rey was the pampered daughter of the lush Southern California orchards, where the noise and battle of WWII seemed so far way, and had been raised in luxury and affianced to a man of her own kind, in whose veins flowed the blood of his titled ancestors.Roy Pelgren had had his heart broken twice. The first time when color blindness barred him from his dream of joining the air force and battling Germany in the skies. The second time when his fiancée, a woman of the West he had grown up with and whose love he had believed unshakable, eloped with a lieutenant, resplendent in uniform.But Roy never dreamed that the Nazi menace might come to battle him face-to-face on his isolated ranch in the badlands of Wyoming, or what that meeting would portend for the United States that he loved.Together and separately, Dolores and Roy would be targeted for death, capture, torture, and worse. For, saboteurs were at work, and the man directing them aimed not only to destroy the great cattle herds on which America's civilians and troops depended for meat, but their own love for each other. To survive, they would need all the courage and vision that had helped their forebearers create the West itself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Darcie Kelly.

  Meet You in Hell: Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and the Bitter Partnership That Transformed America, Hörbuch, Digital, 294min

  Here is history that reads like fiction: the riveting story of two founding fathers of American industry, Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick, and the bloody steelworkers' strike that transformed their fabled partnership into a furious rivalry. Author Les Standiford begins at the bitter end, when the dying Carnegie proposes a final meeting after two decades of separation. Frick's reply: "Tell him that I'll meet him in hell." It is a fitting epitaph. Meet You in Hell is a classic tale of two men who embodied the best and worst of American capitalism. Standiford conjures up the majesty and danger of steel manufacturing, the rough-and-tumble of late-19th-century big business, and the fraught relationship of "the world's richest man" and the ruthless coke magnate to whom he entrusted his companies. Carnegie and Frick would introduce revolutionary new efficiencies and meticulous cost control to their enterprises, and would quickly come to dominate the world steel market. But their partnership had a dark side, revealed most starkly by their brutal handling of the Homestead Steel Strike of 1892. When Frick, acting on Carnegie's orders to do whatever was necessary, unleashed three hundred Pinkerton detectives, the result was the deadliest clash between management and labor in U.S. history. Resplendent with tales of backroom chicanery, bankruptcy, philanthropy, and personal idiosyncrasy, Meet You in Hell artfully weaves the relationship of these titans through the larger story of a young nation's economic rise.

  Just Kids , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 590min

  National Book Award, Nonfiction, 2010 Patti Smith’s evocative, honest and moving coming-of-age story of her extraordinary relationship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe A prelude to fame, Just Kids recounts the friendship of two young artists--Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe – whose passion fueled their lifelong pursuit of art. In 1967, a chance meeting between two young people led to a romance and a lifelong friendship that would carry each to international success never dreamed of. The backdrop is Brooklyn, Chelsea Hotel, Max’s Kansas City, Scribner’s Bookstore, Coney Island, Warhol’s Factory and the whole city resplendent. Among their friends, literary lights, musicians and artists such as Harry Smith, Bobby Neuwirth, Allen Ginsberg, Sandy Daley, Sam Shepherd, William Burroughs, etc. It was a heightened time politically and culturally; the art and music worlds exploding and colliding. In the midst of all this two kids made a pact to always care for one another. Scrappy, romantic, committed to making art, they prodded and provided each other with faith and confidence during the hungry years--the days of cous-cous and lettuce soup. Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. Beautifully written, this is a profound portrait of two young artists, often hungry, sated only by art and experience. And an unforgettable portrait of New York, her rich and poor, hustlers and hellions, those who made it and those whose memory lingers near. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patti Smith.

  The Truth Project: Finding the Courage to Ignore Wall Street , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min

  Wayne von Borstel takes us on an eye-opening journey through the minefield of financial myths that prevent too many from reaching a fulfilling retirement. Based on a quarter century of experience as a financial coach and advisor to high net worth investors, the author goes beyond merely warning about the perils of financial myths. He provides alternative strategies based on a foundation of core truths that cut through the ubiquitous financial propaganda generated by product marketers and their media cohorts. Von Borstel then continues the educational voyage, guiding us through the accumulation, transition and retirement phases of our financial life, explaining how core truths clarify and keep us aligned with our financial objectives. The principles outlined in the Estate Planning chapter can serve as a road map for avoiding the common mistakes that foster everything from family disputes to more tragic consequences. The book is resplendent with case studies based on the author s real-life experiences, both rewarding and disappointing. While some readers may find the author's candor discomforting, von Borstel states, "I have never attended a funeral where people talked about the investment returns of the deceased. However, I have heard many funeral conversations asking why the deceased didn't have a will, life insurance, proper documents, or why they didn't put more aside for the family left behind. Planning is about people, pure and simple." Finally, von Borstel gives us a rare glimpse into the mind and heart of a financial professional dedicated to helping clients find serenity and purpose in life while creating a memorable legacy. ungekürzt.

  A Little Life: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1971min

  Short-listed for the Man Booker Prize Long-listed for the National Book Award for Fiction Brace yourself for the most astonishing, challenging, upsetting, and profoundly moving book in many a season. An epic about love and friendship in the 21st century that goes into some of the darkest places fiction has ever traveled and yet somehow, improbably, breaks through into the light. When four classmates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity. Over the decades their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome - but that will define his life forever. In rich and resplendent prose, Yanagihara has fashioned a tragic and transcendent hymn to brotherly love, a masterful depiction of heartbreak, and a dark examination of the tyranny of memory and the limits of human endurance.

  Space Marine Ajax: Extinction Fleet, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 250min

  Ajax answers the call of duty and becomes an Einherjar space marine, charged with defending humanity against hideous alien monsters in furious combat across the galaxy. The Garm, as they came to be called, emerged from the deepest parts of uncharted space, devouring all that lay before them, a great swarm that scoured entire star systems of all organic life. This space-borne hive, this extinction fleet, made no attempts to communicate and offered no mercy. Humanity has always been a deadly organism, and we would not so easily be made the prey. Unified against a common enemy, we fought back, meeting the swarm with soldiers upon every front. We were resplendent in our fury, and yet, despite the terrible slaughter we visited upon the enemy, world after world still fell beneath ravenous tooth and wicked claw. For every beast slain in the field, another was swiftly hatched to take its place and humanity was faced with a grim war of attrition. After a decade of bitter galactic conflict, it was all humanity could to do slow the advance of the swarm and with each passing year we came closer to extinction. The grinding cost of war mounted. The realization set in that without a radical shift in tactics and technology the forces of humanity would run out of soldiers before it ran out of bullets. In desperate response to the real threat of total annihilation, humanity created the Einherjar. Fearless new warriors with frightening new weapons who were sent to fight the wolves at the gate. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: F. Ian DeMaster.

  Flowers and Foul Play (eBook, ePUB)

  Fiona Knox lost her fiancé and her flower shop—but when she flies to Scotland to inherit her godfather's cottage and possibly magical walled garden, she may lose her life as well when she's swept into a murder investigation. Florist Fiona Knox's life isn't smelling so sweet these days. Her fiancé left her for their cake decorator. Then, her flower shop wilted after a chain florist opened next door. So when her godfather, Ian MacCallister, leaves her a cottage in Scotland, Fiona jumps on the next plane to Edinburgh. Ian, after all, is the one who taught her to love flowers. But when Ian's elderly caretaker Hamish MacGregor shows her to the cottage upon her arrival, she finds the once resplendent grounds of Duncreigan in a dreadful shambles—with a dead body in the garden. Minutes into her arrival, Fiona is already being questioned by the handsome Chief Inspector Neil Craig and getting her passport seized. But it's Craig's fixation on Uncle Ian's loyal caretaker, Hamish, as a prime suspect, that really makes her worried. As Fiona strolls the town, she quickly realizes there are a whole bouquet of suspects much more likely to have killed Alastair Croft, the dead lawyer who seems to have had more enemies than friends. Now it's up to Fiona to clear Hamish's name before it's too late in Flowers and Foul Play, USA Today bestselling author Amanda Flower's spellbinding first Magic Garden mystery.
