First One Down: A Paul Sutton Novel, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
Cold Case Detective Paul Sutton has dedicated his life to evil. Finding it. Ending it. To bringing justice to the dead and answers to the living. His life is spent straddling the line between the light of truth and the darkness of man's blackest sins. The Detective Paul Sutton series begins with First One Down, when Sutton is given a second chance to solve the case that's haunted him for two years. Behind the mask of light lay darkness... It took San Diego Detective Paul Sutton exactly 11 days to realize retirement wasn't going to work out for him. Back on the job as a cold case detective, Sutton has the chance to delve deeper into the only case of his career he's been unable to solve. A woman's tortured body had been abandoned on a beach. Her tormented husband has never stopped grieving. And a missing woman may hold the key to unlocking a deadly puzzle. How does a girl who has everything going for her find herself in such a mess? Driven in her career but careless in love, Kali Hanson is in thrall to the one man who can fulfill the dark desires within her. But after an act of ultimate betrayal, she finds herself tangled in a web of deceit, where a charming mask can conceal a monstrous soul, and the brightest light is in danger of being extinguished in the depths of darkness. As boundaries blur and the difference between truth and lies becomes indistinguishable, Detective Sutton finds himself in a race against a ticking clock. Only one thing is certain: if Sutton doesn't stop him, the monster will keep on killing, and another innocent woman will be lost forever to his darkness. But Sutton is not about to let evil win this time. Notice: This mystery-thriller is for mature audiences due to moderately graphic sexual scenes, violence, and adult language. ungekürzt.

We Shouldn't , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 516min
From number one New York Times best-selling author Vi Keeland comes a new, sexy stand-alone novel.Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning.I was late for the first day at my new job - a job I’d now have to compete for, even though I’d already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger.While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons. She’d ticketed a long line of cars - except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine.Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine. Chances were the owner would pay it and be none the wiser. Except, I accidentally broke the windshield wiper while slipping the ticket onto the car’s window. Seriously, my day couldn’t get any worse.Things started to perk up when I ran into a gorgeous man in the elevator. We had one of those brief moments that only happens in movies. You know the deal...your body lights up, fireworks go off, and the air around you crackles with electricity. His heated stare left me flush when I stepped off the elevator. Maybe things here wouldn’t be so bad after all. Or so I thought.Until I walked into my new boss’s office and met my competition. The gorgeous man from the elevator was now my nemesis. His heated stare wasn’t because of any mutual attraction. It was because he’d saw me vandalize his car. And now, he couldn’t wait to annihilate his rival.There’s a fine line between love and hate - and we shouldn’t cross it. We shouldn’t - but straddling that line could be so much fun. ungekürzt.

Hopper: A Journey into the American Dream , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 430min
James Dean to Hopper: "I saw what you did today. Today you were great." Jack Nicholson to Hopper: "We're geniuses, you know that? Isn't it great to be a genius?" The chopper-riding hippie outlaw in Easy Rider. The prophetic madman in the jungle in Apocalypse Now. The terrifying psychopath in Blue Velvet. The kid gone wrong in Rebel Without a Cause. The actor taken under the wing of James Dean who longed to be the next Orson Welles. The hell-raising director who revolutionized Hollywood. An enigmatic man from Dodge City, Kansas, on an endless quest to realize the American Dream. Dennis Hopper has been described as a rebel, an icon, an addict plagued by demons, and one of the most important champions of the pop-art movement. Friend to Warhol, muse to David Lynch, mentor to Sean Penn, champion of Ice-T, Dennis Hopper built a career that was a half-century of rebellion waged at the edge of American popular culture. Tom Folsom's Hopper is a wild ride through Dennis's many lives. Featuring hundreds of interviews with Hopper's fellow actors, artists, musicians, and residents of Taos, New Mexico (where he spent much of his most manic time), as well as his ex-wives and many other people who knew him, Hopper takes you on an extraordinary - and sometimes troubling - journey. From Dennis's early days with his grandparents on a dusty farm in Kansas, where he watched trains go by on their way to Los Angeles, to his formative time in Hollywood as one of a bright new crop of actors straddling the edge of the studio system, to the rebellious 1960s and the start of the independent film movement, to the drug-addled 1970s and beyond, when Hopper staged one of the greatest Hollywood comebacks of all time - Tom Folsom has crafted a biography as unconventional as Dennis Hopper himself. ungekürzt.

Torn from Troy: Odyssey of a Slave , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 328min
Two-and-a half millennia after it was created, Homer's Odyssey remains one of humanity's most memorable adventure stories. In this re-creation of Homer's classic as a young adult novel, we see the aftermath of the Trojan War through the eyes of Alexi, a fifteen-year-old Trojan boy. Orphaned by the war and enslaved by Odysseus himself, Alexi has a very different view of the conquering heroes of legend. Despite a simmering anger towards his captors, Alexi gradually develops a grudging respect for them. As the Greeks fight off the angry Cicones, weather a storm that pushes them far beyond charted waters, and nearly succumb to the blandishments of the bewitching Lotus-eaters, he realizes that they are not the demons they were said to be, but people like himself. At the same time, Alexi's quick thinking, bravery, and the healing skills that he learned from his father prove to his captors that he is no ordinary slave. His key role in their escape from the Cyclops earns the respect of his master, Odysseus, and a striking discovery during their escape gives his life a newfound purpose. Straddling the boundary between historical fiction and mythology, Torn from Troy is written in a hard, realistic style and brings to life the travails of a bronze-age slave of the Greeks in a form that will appeal especially to teen boys. While this book is the first volume of the author's Odyssey of a Slave trilogy, it is a compelling and fully-realized work on its own. “Screw up your courage and screw on your sea legs - there's a wild ride ahead! Torn from Troy is a kid's view of one of the best adventure stories ever told.”- Tim Wynne-Jones, author of Rex Zero, The Great Pretender ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gerard Doyle.

The Contractor: The Contractor Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
Nadia's eyes opened, and she looked up to see, feel, Lena's face just inches from hers. Her heart raced, as the older woman stood up, smiling at her, standing over her. Lena had changed out of the business casual outfit she had worn to work and the bar, and into...Nadia couldn't pull her eyes away. She had worn a white babydoll with a lacy bra and a slit down the front. The cups of the bra were translucent, showing that she had nipple piercings. Her panties were sexy and lacy, the sides of them visible. Her curves obviously also included a hint of chubbiness, but it was worn well; the woman was clearly confident. Around her navel was a tattoo in the shape of a sun, and the lights which Nadia hadn't bothered to turn off showed her caramel skin contrasting with her lingerie. Nadia sat up, confused as Lena looked down at her. Nadia was still weary, her eyes blurry, not that she couldn't even believe them; the woman in front of her exuded sexuality. The woman in front of her wasted no time, practically straddling her, aggressively pressing her body to hers', letting her hair fall around them as she looked down at Nadia. "I want you," Lena said, before leaning in to kiss the younger woman before Nadia could react. Nadia couldn't even gasp. She could feel Lena's body, her skin warm and her hips grinding as she pressed down. Her softness and the muscularity under that softness, and the feeling of her lips, aggressive and hot. The taste of alcohol and the smell of lavender. The way that they made Nadia's own body react; her hips bucked, ever so softly on their own and her breath caught. Nadia pressed back against her boss... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julie Griffin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/061755/bk_acx0_061755_sample.mp3.

The Generals Have No Clothes: The Untold Story of Our Endless Wars
The definitive book about America's perpetual wars and how to end them from bestselling author, military expert, and award-winning journalist William M. Arkin. The first rule of perpetual war is to never stop, a fact which former NBC News analyst William M. Arkin knows better than anyone, having served in the Army and having covered all of America's wars over the past three decades. He has spent his career investigating how the military throws around the word "war" to justify everything, from physical combat to today's globe-straddling cyber and intelligence network. In The Generals Have No Clothes, Arkin traces how we got where we are—bombing ten countries, killing terrorists in dozens more—all without Congressional approval or public knowledge. Starting after the 9/11 attacks, the government put forth a singular idea that perpetual war was the only way to keep the American people safe. Arkin explains why President Obama failed to achieve his national security goal of ending war in Iraq and reducing our military engagements, and shows how President Trump has been frustrated in his attempts to end conflict in Afghanistan and Syria. He also reveals how COVID-19 is a watershed moment for the military, where the country's civilian and public health needs clash with the demands of future wars against China and Russia, North Korea and Iran. Proposing bold solutions, Arkin calls for a new era of civilian control over the military. He also calls for a Global Security Index (GSX), the security equivalent to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which would measure the national and international events in real-time to determine whether perpetual war is actually making the nation safer. Arguing that the American people should be empowered by facts rather than spurred by fear, The Generals Have No Clothes "builds a damning case against the status quo" (Publishers Weekly) and outlines how we can take control of the military…before it's too late.- Shop: buecher

ISIS: Behind Enemy Lines , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 108min
The monstrous act of terrorism has caused many a grief that they have had to live with throughout their lives. To terrorism, many have lost loved ones, many have had their innocence ripped apart and even faced the harshest brutality that no one would ever believe humans have the capacity to commit. One wonders and many questions then begin to clog the mind as to whether terrorists really do have conscience and whether their happiness is hinged on the grave atrocities they commit on a daily basis. But come to think of it. Of what gain or fame does a barbaric terror organization like ISIS justify their heinous atrocities? Catching a glimpse into the world of terrorism like that of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is something that only a few would mutter the courage to have. In less than a year, the world has been fast forwarded to a new world of terrorism that has since not only changed many a world view of dealing with what has claimed thousands of lives but also something whose expression of ideological differences and ways of settling scores is terrifying. ISIS is perhaps the worst that the world has ever witnessed of a terrorist group whose fundamental principles by which it is established is to enslave, crucify, burn, behead, rape, and expressively create a state that glorifies horrific evil. The question is: what is the world doing? Behind Enemy Lines explores to lay bare what transpires in the ISIS self-declared caliphate. Capturing thousands of hectares of land straddling Iraq and Syria would not have been enough to let the world know what ISIS seeks to achieve in the 21st century but redefining terror, misinterpretation of laws, and misrepresentation of religion; ISIS believes is the best way to be felt, heard, feared, and let to be. Cast into limelight as an up to no good terrorist group, this book delves into the very speculative biting, stinging and burning issues that the ISIS "world" is made of. ungekürzt. Language: English.
