    The Running Mate: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1005min
    In The Running Mate, Joe Klein - the New Yorker Washington correspondent who catapulted into the public eye as the "Anonymous" author of Primary Colors - takes the listener on an exuberant, wicked, and unerringly wise political journey with Senator Charlie Martin, a decorated veteran of the war in Vietnam. The experience of combat and his easy dominance of home-state politics have made Charlie fearless. He's a hot, if occasionally reckless, political property - dashing, honorable, and irreverent.And then Charlie's life begins to fall apart. He campaigns for the presidency and fails...and Senator Martin begins to learn that politics in an era of spin, marketing, and vicious personal assaults can be as treacherous - and life-threatening - as combat was.Finally, Charlie Martin must confront the two greatest challenges in his life - a political opponent who has no scruples and a dazzling, unconventional woman who loves him but is appalled by his life's work. Charlie's dilemma is one that has come to haunt contemporary American politics: Is it possible to be a good politician and a good man? Can you live in the public glare and still construct a habitable life?Listen to a conversation with Joe Klein. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Bedford Lloyd.

    The Way of All Fish: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
    Martha Grimes "goes entertainingly wonky with this sequel to her best-selling foul matter...delivering insider-publishing stuff with acidulous wit". (Library Journal) In Grimes's new sendup of a world she knows very well, Candy and Karl, hit men with a difference - they have scruples - once again venture into the murky Manhattan publishing scene. This time they come to the aid of a writer who is being sued by her unscrupulous literary agent, L. Bass Hess, a man determined to get a 15 percent commission for a book he didn't sell. The contract killers join forces with publishing mogul Bobby Mackenzie and mega-best-selling writer Paul Giverney to rid the mean streets of Hess, not by shooting him, but by driving him crazy. They are helped by other characters from Foul Matter and a crew of new colorful personalities, including an out-of-work Vegas magician, an alligator wrangler, a glamorous Malaysian con lady, and Hess' aunt in Everglades City, who has undergone a wildly successful sex change. This wickedly funny sequel to Grimes's best-selling novel Foul Matter is another character-driven "satire of the venal, not to say murderous, practices of the New York publishing industry" (The New York Times Book Review). ungekürzt.

    Fortress , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min
    Camp Bastion: SAS trooper Tom Buckingham finds himself in deep trouble for taking down a renegade Afghan soldier. Instead of being proclaimed a hero, he's made a scapegoat for the incident and drummed out of the regiment. On his return to Britain, disillusioned and embittered, Tom's unique services are quickly snapped up by charismatic entrepreneur Vernon Rolt, a powerful billionaire with political ambitions, very few scruples, and a questionable agenda. With riot on the country's streets, a government in disarray, and a visit from the American president imminent, there has never been a better time to make a play for power. But, as Tom will soon discover, in the affairs of state, hidden forces are always at work and he is quickly drawn back into the covert world of intelligence and special forces which he knows so well. He will have to decide where his loyalties lie and who his real friends are, if he is to intervene in a spiralling sequence of events which involve terrorism, insurgency, and, ultimately, assassination....

    Malpractice!: The Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 404min
    It's the early 1970s in San Francisco, and an emergency, life-saving brain operation is performed on 10-year-old Kathy Miller. Because she had been discharged from the ER after a head injury earlier in the day, and the delay in diagnosis may have resulted in brain damage, prominent plaintiff's attorney Paul Butler is filing a medical malpractice lawsuit against the physician and hospital responsible. California at this time had already seen a dramatic increase in medical malpractice lawsuits as juries awarded progressively higher sums for "pain and suffering", a category that had no concrete limits and caused physician's malpractice insurance premiums to skyrocket. Butler is a womanizer, with no scruples about how he wins cases or conducts his private life. This case is assigned to the court of a female judge, with whom Butler had a short, secret love affair while both were in law school. She should recuse herself from the case, but does not, believing that no one knows of the affair. Later, a witness lies under oath and is exposed, resulting in the jury awarding a huge sum to the plaintiff. He celebrates by bedding his beautiful young associate.... Interwoven with the trial chapters are explicit descriptions of the sexual activities of the three main characters as an integral part of their complete life stories. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Sam Gunn Omnibus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1773min
    A hero without peer or scruples, Sam Gunn has a nose for trouble, money, and women, though not necessarily in that order. A man with the ego (and stature) of a Napoleon, the business acumen of a P. T. Barnum, and the raging hormones of a teenage boy, Sam is the finest astronaut NASA ever trained and dumped. But more than money, more than women, Sam Gunn loves justice—and he really does love money and women. Whether he’s suing the Pope, helping twin sisters entangled in the virtual sex trade, or on trial for his life on charges of interplanetary genocide, you can be sure of one thing: this is one space jockey who’ll meet every challenge with a smile on his lips, an ace up his sleeve, and a weapon in his pocket. Now, for the first time in one volume, Hugo-winner Ben Bova presents all the tales of Sam Gunn to date, including three never-before collected in book form. Here is the entire chronicle of Sam Gunn, trailblazer and scoundrel, as he scams his way from one end of the solar system to the other, giving bold new meaning to the term venture capitalist. ungekürzt.

    Through the Eyes of Death , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 728min
    Through the Eyes of Death approaches the murder mystery genre from both the perspective of the protagonist and through the eyes and mind of a madman. The story is about people who believe that with enough money and a total lack of scruples, you can get away with murder. Heroes, real heroes, seldom want to save the day. They didn't start out thinking they would save the girl, take down the bad guy, and get it all done before breakfast. Those heroes are for the movies or cheesy mystery novels. That isn't Ben Simeon. This small-town cop had already fought his battles while serving his country. He already won his medals and no longer wanted to play the part. He longed for peace and quiet. He longed for his wife and daughter to be home when he got there. So many times he wished for these wonderful parts of his past. But they were gone. He would never again see his beautiful wife or hold his precious child. That was the past. That is what made this man a hero. His family. If he couldn't have them, he just wanted to be left alone to do his job. Fortune makes a hero. And whether he liked it or not, Detective Benjamin Simeon would once again be forced to take up the badge of honor and fight until order was restored. Or die trying. ungekürzt. Language: English.
