NPCs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 470min
What happens when the haggling is done and the shops are closed? When the quest has been given, the steeds saddled, and the adventurers are off to their next encounter? They keep the world running, the food cooked, and the horses shoed, yet what adventurer has ever spared a thought or concern for the Non-Player Characters?In the town of Maplebark, four such NPCs settle in for a night of actively ignoring the adventurers drinking in the tavern when things go quickly and fatally awry. Once the dust settles, these four find themselves faced with an impossible choice: pretend to be adventurers undertaking a task of near-certain death or see their town and loved ones destroyed. Armed only with salvaged equipment, second-hand knowledge, and a secret that could get them killed, it will take all manner of miracles if they hope to pull off their charade. And even if they succeed, the deadliest part of their journey may well be what awaits them at its end. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roger Wayne.

Captive Night: New York Knights, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 455min
I’m used to living a lonely, isolated life. I’m nothing more than a dirty little secret, and a pawn used in a twisted game of power. My half-brother is saddled with the burden of taking care of me, making sure I don’t land in the hands of our enemies. While he’s away on his honeymoon, he hires a bodyguard to take care of me. Davis Cooper, AKA the hot as hell ex-FBI agent. My attraction to him is instant, but his cold disregard for me is annoyingly obvious. It triggers the rebel in me, and fuels me into doing things a girl like me should never do. Childish? Maybe. But behind the stone-cold façade Davis wears so well, I can see there’s a warm-blooded man waiting to devour me. He just needs a little nudge in the right direction — my direction. Unfortunately, I manage to land myself in a heap of trouble. Now, what started out as little game of push and pull between us changes into a bloody game of survival. ungekürzt. Language: English.

If I Only Knew , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 441min
Available in audio first, a magnificent new stand-alone romance from New York Times best-selling author Corinne Michaels! My life was perfect - until a shocking tragedy pulled the rug out from underneath me. My children were left without a father. I was without a husband and a provider. Instead of wallowing in my grief, I buried myself in my work at Dovetail Enterprises. Landing the promotion as the CEO’s right hand was exactly what I needed. Getting saddled with Milo Huxley as an assistant is exactly the opposite. I can’t stand him. He’s arrogant, irresponsible, and out for my job. As if that’s not bad enough, he has to be devastatingly sexy, and have a posh English accent that makes me squirm on top of it all. I’ve had enough unpredictability for one lifetime, thank you. But soon enough, we’re fighting less and laughing more. He’s there for me when no one else is. And those good looks aren’t the only panty-dropping thing about him. If I only knew what to do about it.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sophie Eastlake, Shane East. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/or/orig/000248/or_orig_000248_sample.mp3.

The Fort Henry-Fort Donelson Campaign: The History and Legacy of the Union Victories That Made Ulysses S. Grant a Major General , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
While the Lincoln Administration and most Northerners were preoccupied with trying to capture Richmond in the summer of 1861, it would be the little known Ulysses S. Grant who delivered the Union’s first major victories, over a thousand miles away from Washington. Grant’s new commission led to his command of the District of Southeast Missouri, headquartered at Cairo, after he was appointed by “The Pathfinder”, John C. Fremont, a national celebrity who had run for president in 1856. Fremont was one of many political generals that Lincoln was saddled with, and his political prominence ensured he was given a prominent command as commander of the Department of the West early in the war before running so afoul of the Lincoln administration that he was court-martialed.The Fort Henry-Fort Donelson Campaign: The History and Legacy of the Union Victories that Made Ulysses S. Grant a Major General analyzes the campaign that put Ulysses S. Grant’s name on the map and paved the way for the rest of his Civil War career. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.

Confessions of an Economic Hitman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 556min
This is the inside story of how America turned from a respected republic into a feared empire. "Economic hit men," John Perkins writes, "are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder." John Perkins should know; he was an economic hit man. His job was to convince countries that are strategically important to the U.S., from Indonesia to Panama, to accept enormous loans for infrastructure development and to make sure that the lucrative projects were contracted to Halliburton, Bechtel, Brown and Root, and other United States engineering and construction companies. Saddled with huge debts, these countries came under the control of the United States government, World Bank, and other U.S.-dominated aid agencies that acted like loan sharks, dictating repayment terms and bullying foreign governments into submission. This extraordinary real-life tale exposes international intrigue, corruption, and little-known government and corporate activities that have dire consequences for American democracy and the world. ungekürzt.
