    Hornet's Nest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 414min
    Hornet's Nest follows an aircraft carrier's tour of duty during 1985, offering shoot-'em-up action and a mindset that equates Middle Eastern with terrorist. Central to this unsavory tale are fighter pilots 'Sweetwater' Sullivan and 'Sundance' Karnes and Sweetwater's squadron, the Fighting Aardvarks, who seem like free-wheeling, hard-partying frat brothers armed with technical training, powerful weapons and minds uncluttered by any understanding of the complex political events that dominate their lives. Just tell these men to "kick some terrorist ass" and they'll be rarin' to go. And go they do - primarily in the Persian Gulf - as they track down an Iranian mine-laying ship to help protect a tanker owned by a U.S.-based company (and registered in Kuwait to avoid U.S. taxes); destroy an Iranian frigate; raid Iranian oil platforms; and, after Col. Khadafy declares a "Line of Death" across the Gulf, demolish a Libyan chemical plant. When it comes to shore leave, the good old days of double standards are perfectly preserved here: bad girls (who do) are fun, but good girls (who don't) are potential wives. ungekürzt.

    Aliou: A Novel of the Backway , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 118min
    In trying times, a seeming soccer romance equates to life or death....Local football star "Aliou Messi" is the picture of talent...but this, alone, may not be enough. The Arab Spring uprising has ushered in a dark age for rural poverty in Gambia, and Aliou's homeland is rocked by its horror. The chances of escape are slim, and every peril fringes every path. Diaspora could crush much more than dreams of gaming glory.  When his father passes away, Aliou is left to support the entire family - a responsibility that makes dropping out of school an increasingly dangerous concept. He, too, must consider a marriage engagement, his future wife and children. Pursuing his passion means risking it all - including the lives of others.There does exist a bastion of peace, but getting there is the problem. Known to fellow Gambians as "The Backway", a daunting foot trek to Western Europe may represent Aliou's only hope for salvation. Can this man, but yesterday a boy, lead those he loves to safety? Scarcely could a crossroads represent more inner strife.A touching tale of rural fiction and noir...A treatise on the human condition...Eric Reese outdoes himself - a master of his craft.   ungekürzt.

    Magical Crimes: Twenty-Four Inches from Tulsa , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min
    Magical Crimes is a fun CSI with magic and "a little something else" story. The little something else being two-foot-long and lurking in the hero’s trousers. But don’t worry, the penis in this story is used purely for the purpose God intended - humour and crimefighting - not lustful titillation. Seb Kemp is a psychic profiler with a problem. After a night out drinking some men wake up with an unexpected tattoo. Seb woke up with a floor-length boinkwurst and no memory of how, when, or where it happened. To make matters worse, magic doesn’t work well with living tissue. The results are unpredictable. The spell might fade after a few days or...something might drop off. He needs help but, Pete, his forensic magician partner, is 3,000 miles away working on another case and Tulsa, Seb’s new partner, is of the young and female persuasion. Not to mention extremely hot. The two of them are thrown together to solve a high-profile locked-room mystery where the utmost tact and diplomacy is required - not easy for a man with unpredictable trousers. Magical Crimes is just over 13,000 words in length which equates to about 65 pages of a mass-market paperback. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Bel Davies.

    Fashionably Dead , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 734min
    Vampyres don't exist. They absolutely do not exist. At least I didn't think they did 'til I tried to quit smoking and ended up Undead. Who in the hell did I screw over in a former life that my getting healthy equates with dead? Now I'm a Vampyre. Yes, we exist whether we want to or not. However, I have to admit, the perks aren't bad. My girls no longer jiggle, my ass is higher than a kite, and the latest Prada keeps finding its way to my wardrobe. On the downside, I'm stuck with an obscenely profane Guardian Angel who looks like Oprah and a Fairy Fighting Coach who's teaching me to annihilate like the Terminator. To complicate matters, my libido has increased to Vampyric proportions, and my attraction to a hotter-than-Satan's-underpants killer rogue Vampyre is not only dangerous...it's possibly deadly. For real dead. Permanent death isn't on my agenda. Avoiding him is my only option. Of course, since he thinks I'm his, it's easier said than done. Like that's not enough to deal with, all the other Vampyres think I'm some sort of Chosen One. Holy hell, if I'm in charge of saving an entire race of blood suckers, the Undead are in for one hell of a ride. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jessica Almasy.

    The Law of Small Things: Creating a Habit of Integrity in a Culture of Mistrust , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 280min
    The Law of Small Things begins with an IQ (integrity quotient) test designed to reveal the casual way we regard our promises and the misconceptions we have about acting truthfully. The audiobook shows how most people believe integrity is something we “just have” and that we just do, like a Nike commercial. It depicts these and other deceptions we deploy to appear to act with integrity without actually doing so.   The Law of Small Things also exposes how our culture encourages breaches of integrity through an array of “permitted promise-breaking”, a language of clichés that equates self-interest with duty, and the “illusion of inconsequence” that excuses small breaches with the breezy confidence that we can fulfill integrity when it counts.   Brody challenges the prevailing notion that integrity is a possession you hold permanently. No one “has integrity”, and no one is perfect in practicing it. What we have is the opportunity to uphold promises and fulfill duties in each situation that faces us, large and small. Integrity is a practice and a habit of keeping promises, the ones we make explicitly and the ones that are implied in all our relationships.   Ultimately, developing skill in the practice of integrity leads us to knowledge of who we are - not in the way the culture defines us, but in the way we truly know ourselves to be. ungekürzt.

    The Miracle Manager: Why True Leaders Rarely Make Great Managers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 270min
    Manage a team that will follow you anywhere!  In The Miracle Manager, published by ForbesBooks, Kevin G. Armstrong argues that placing true leaders in management positions has become an epidemic that is destroying businesses. Armstrong, a successful speaker, business owner, advisor, disruptor, and best-selling author, knows first-hand the consequences of mistaking great leadership for effective management. With knowledge gained from 20-plus years of exclusively advising CEOs, business owners, and their management teams, the author presents a revolutionary approach to organizational management.  Utilizing professional researchers and actual case studies of great leaders and coaches of the past, Armstrong illustrates why being a stellar player rarely equates to being a great coach - why businesses have to start rewarding and recognizing their leaders, and valuing the special talents of their managers.  "Throughout history, many influential people have earned the title of leader," says Armstrong. "Leaders look to the future, oblivious to who or how many are following. Being an effective manager requires you to efficiently and effectively work through others - to be what I call a 'manacoach.'"   Armstrong shares his proven strategies for implementing management techniques based upon revolutionary concepts to create scalable and sustainable cultures of accountability.   For business owners and their management teams, The Miracle Manager is your guide to aligning people with your company culture and creating a healthy environment through accountability where politics cannot survive. ungekürzt.

    Procrastination Cure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
    Many believe that procrastination is merely about not being sufficiently productive. In truth the term pertains to a tendency that is most detrimental. Try searching for the meaning of procrastination and you will realize that it actually refers to the habit of putting things off, particularly those that are clearly urgent. So, what does a procrastinator do? He chooses to carry out less important tasks, a tendency that he equates with productivity. Since his idea of productivity is completely misguided, he will not be able to achieve true success. With his most vital responsibilities left undone, what he will achieve is simply regret. Of course he will claim to have changed his ways upon noticing that he is wasting a lot of time. Unfortunately it is likely that he will just repeat the same mistake over and over again. Saying that one will change is never enough to get rid of such a powerful habit. If you think that you are a procrastinator, or if those closest to you are telling you that you are becoming one, you must take action - downloading this audiobook is a good start. As you go through the chapters, you will discover the reasons why you must change and why you should not underestimate the problem. You will also come across ideas and techniques that brought success to those who once suffered from the same life-ruining habit. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sam Gonzalez.
