New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Tina Folsom presents: Zane's Redemption: Scanguards Vampires The last thing vampire bodyguard Zane wants to do is to guard a hybrid, a half-vampire, half-human, whose father wants to keep her a virgin. Known for his violent temper and callous lack of compassion, Zane's out-of-control rage, born of the cruelty he suffered during the Holocaust, drives him to focus only on revenge. Trying to find the last of his torturers is his only goal in life. Portia is a young hybrid with a serious dilemma: In a few weeks, her body will be set in its final vampire form. If she is to avoid having to live out her immortal life as a virgin, she must find a lover in that short time - something her father hires Zane to prevent. The moment Portia and Zane meet, rules begin to bend, and a forbidden attraction bursts into flames hotter than the hell of Zane's past. But that past threatens to pull them apart unless they can overcome their prejudice, forsake hate for love, and revenge for forgiveness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Foley.

Mysterium I: Rome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 306min
Jesus of Nazareth has been dead for some 65 years. The eyewitnesses to this extraordinary life have died, often as martyrs, and only a scattered handful remain. Might anyone have resolved to interview those last few before it was too late, it being a matter of mind-boggling importance? What if someone had? Mysterium I: Rome presents the story of a young Roman scholar who determines to do precisely that. This sleuth who has the will and the means to comb the Roman Empire for answers is Theophilus, "Lover of God". Opening his very first scroll of Christian scripture, and finding his own name there, catalyzes a series of events that seemingly promises a life mission full of heroic discovery. But soon, Theophilus has cause to wonder about the advisability of his investigation. Danger looms, while he is on the scent of the unfathomable in ominous cavities of a city where so very much is hidden. Catacombs. Forbidden archives. "Witches Hill", a.k.a. the Vatican. In Rome, life is stupendously raw. Theophilus' adventures put him in congress with gladiators, prostitutes, torturers, crucifiers, conquerors, sorcerers, swindlers, schemers, and an aristocratic matron who insists that she is a daughter of the Beast. Pulled relentlessly toward ever more mystifying mysteries, Theophilus comes to realize that he has undertaken a quest after the secret of secrets. Rome is the first book of a six-part Mysterium series. Mysterium I: Rome also contains Discussion Guide questions. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Phillip J Mather.

The Terrorist Factory: ISIS, the Yazidi Genocide, and Exporting Terror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 308min
A riveting, behind-the-scenes look of the Yazidi genocide and the terrorist threat it holds for the West, based on the investigation by Father Patrick Desbois, Costel Nastasie, and their team at Yahad-In Unum, as first shown on 60 Minutes. With testimony drawn from more than 200 interviews with Yazidi survivors - girls, women, boys, and men - recorded during 11 investigative trips to refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan. "If you read only one book on this subject, it should be this one.” --Lara Logan, 60 MinutesThe massacre of the Yazidi people by ISIS was nothing less than genocide. In refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan, the authors brought a skilled team to interview more than a hundred ISIS survivors and document what they experienced and saw. These former slaves observed their torturers and know from the inside the secret facilities that ISIS has kept hidden from the world. What their testimony reveals is an organization whose ambition is power, regardless of their claim to be "soldiers of God." Their fighters are paid with sex, money, and the power of life and death over captives. Their promised paradise is here and now, not after death. Men who didn't swear allegiance were executed. Women became slaves for sex or reproduction, and their offspring may still serve the cause. In mobile training camps, the captured children were drugged, indoctrinated, and taught to shoot Kalashnikovs, plant explosives, and handle suicide vests. They are the intended products of the terrorist factory. In this taut, disturbing account, the authors document a utilitarian genocide that still holds an implicit threat to other counties, including those in the West. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Secret Agent X #4 May, 1934 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
A master of evil came to the nation's capital. A green-masked ambassador from Hell's own legation, followed by a horrible horde, versed in the poison torments of the Far East! Even the police who sought to trap him, did not guess the ghastliness of his real motive. That remained for Secret Agent "X" to discover, as he prowled through a dark, and sinister labyrinth of Washington espionage. A nameless mystery man with a wartime past, backed by a shadowy group of powerful philanthropists, Secret Agent "X" took on the toughest assignments of the dirty thirties. Operating out of the half-haunted Montgomery Mansion, "X" was also known as the Man of a Thousand Faces. A past master of disguise, he infiltrated the Underworld to crush crime, in all of its hideous manifestations. For Secret Agent "X," Rose Wyn decided to pit him against villains who were maestros of unbridled horror. Melodrama was the rule of the day. But Secret Agent "X" plunged into maelstroms of raw bloodlust undreamed of by The Shadow and Doc Savage. His foes were truly depraved. Terrorists. Torturers. Kidnappers. Stranglers. Arsonists. These were the types of tabloid master criminals "X" hunted. In Ambassador of Doom, the enigmatic "X" travels to Washington, D.C., to investigate skullduggery in our nation's capital. There, he gets on the trail of the Green Mask, a murderous master of espionage, whose ultimate loyalties are impenetrable. Before the trail of treachery has been exhausted, Secret Agent "X" will have struggled through Malay torture rites and worse, in order to preserve America's deepest secrets from an implacable foreign foe.
