Schwab is at the top of her game, with twisty action, oddball family pairings and unexpected antiheroes you can't help but root for." -Washington Post "Schwab's characters feel vital and real, never reduced to simple archetypes... In a genre that tends toward the flippant or pretentious, this is a rare superhero novel as epic and gripping as any classic comic. Schwab's tale of betrayal, self-hatred, and survival will resonate with superhero fans as well as readers who have never heard of Charles Xavier or Victor von Doom." -Publishers Weekly, starred review

    The Bengalis: A Portrait of a Community , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1088min
    The Bengalis are the third largest ethno-linguistic group in the world, after the Han Chinese and the Arabs. A quarter of a billion strong and growing, the community has produced three Nobel laureates, world-class scientists, legendary political leaders and revolutionaries, iconic movie stars and directors and an unending stream of writers, philosophers, painters, poets and musicians of the first rank. But, bald facts aside, just who are the Bengalis? What is the community all about, stereotypically and beyond stereotype? In order to find the answers to these and related questions, the author (a Bengali born and steeped in his own culture but objective enough to give us a balanced reckoning of his fellows) delves deep into the culture, literature, history and social mores of the Bengalis. He writes with acuity about the many strengths of the community but does not flinch from showing us its weaknesses and tormented history. He points out that Bengalis are among the most civilized and intellectually refined people on earth but have also been responsible for genocide and racism of the worst kind. Their cuisine is justly celebrated, but few remember the cause and effect of millions of Bengalis dying of famine. Renowned for their liberal attitudes, they are also capable of virulent religious fundamentalism. Argumentative and meditative, pompous and grounded, hypocritical and wise, flippant and deep - Bengalis are all this and much, much more. With erudition, wit and empathy, this book manages to capture their very essence. Unarguably, it is the definitive portrait of one of the world’s most vibrant and distinctive communities. ungekürzt.

    It Wasn't Me: KPD Motorcycle Patrol, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 338min
    PiperPiper Mackenzie first sees him shirtless, standing in front of the military plane she was about to board, with one rather large wrench in his hand. The fact that he has the plane - the one that she’s about to be flying on for hours - in pieces only minutes before she’s set to take off on it doesn’t faze her. At least, not until a flippant joke about dying in midair leaves his lips.The second time she sees him, he’s helping her from the wreckage of her car. The wreckage that he helped cause.The third, he’s laying across from her in the same bed, and there’s no denying what happened the night before.The fourth...well, that time would be the first of many. Being Mrs. Jonah Crew has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?JonahJonah Crew saw her for the first time as she stared at him in awe. It was snowing, the temp was in the negative degrees, and he couldn’t think about anything but her and the look of horror on her face when he tells a badly-timed joke.The second time he sees her, his heart skips a beat, but not for the reason that one might think. Mainly, it’s due in part to the fact that his truck smashed into her car so hard that his chest hits the steering wheel and his heart decides to stop working right.The third time, he’s fairly positive that he’s died and gone to heaven. At least, that’s what waking up next to a beautiful woman like her signifies, right?The fourth? Well, he’s not quite sure how he got there, but he’s already said "I do", so what’s a guy to do? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erin Mallon, Teddy Hamilton.

    Plausible Deniability: Book Four of The Chronicles of the Harekaiian , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 244min
    Kallie wants to return to Los Angeles. She and Marcus come out of their quiet and peaceful existence in a small Northern California town nearly a year after the last encounter with their pursuers, but who is the mysterious young person who appears in their remote sanctuary and disrupts the illusion of safety under which they have been living? An audacious teenager who carries the time-travel gene, hardly more than a child with all the knowledge of a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time, will risk everything to enlist Kallie to be his would-be savior. Kallie still has reason to fear Mason, her pursuer who is obsessed with time travel and has spent his entire adult life obsessively hunting down that secret, even resorting to murder in the past. An impossible and unbelievable discovery about time loops, which the scientists insist are not viable, destroys the foundation of all that Kallie thinks she knows about time travel and forces her to make an impossible choice that may put events into motion that will have terrible consequences. Swayed by her best friend's devotion to saving him from being lost forever, Kallie is compelled to compromise everything she holds sacred to save the adolescent from the danger of blinking out of existence. The charming and disquietingly confident teenager responds to the anomaly of his existence with flippant remarks and quoting from a Stephen King novel, while Kallie nurtures a fear that the young man might in fact be the ultimate temporal weapon. The fourth book in the Chronicles of the Harekaiian series will present concepts of time travel and reality that leave readers thinking long after they turn the last page. ungekürzt.

    Social Media Marketing for Beginners: $10,000/Month Guide to Make Money Online with Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube, Affiliate Marketing and More , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 189min
    Social media has traversed far greater heights than simply being a medium for user-generated content. Today, it’s a tool for consumer empowerment (we all witness big conglomerates being brought to their knees by that one dissatisfied tweet or widely shared post) and a gratifying brand-consumer partnership.  Even companies that have long been dismissing social media as frivolous and flippant have started taking note of its benefits. They’ve realized that social media is not limited to games and light-hearted opinion polls (which are also hugely successful in creating affable brands), but can involve more serious discussions and insights that are invaluable when it comes to building strong brands. Unlike traditional marketing mediums, social media doesn’t swallow a huge chunk of your advertising and promotion budget. You don’t need to create cost-intensive and ineffectual marketing plans that leave you broke. All you need is some creativity, perceptiveness, and an intuitive understanding about your audience’s needs. More than sharp business acumen, you need a human touch. Social media gives your brand a human angle without breaking the bank. Currently, social media marketing is the most powerful tool that can help businesses to reach customers and prospects (whether small or not). But with over 88 percent of all companies selling on at least one social media platform, you can see how easy it can be for the company to get lost in all that noise. To achieve more organic visibility, meet committed brand fans, and even generate more sales and leads on your company social media pages, you'll need a succinct marketing strategy to rise to the top. Thankfully, this book offers just that for you. The book will show you how to promote your brand on social media, peeling through the layers of the most popular social media sites to get to the heart of what makes an online marketing campaign effective. Whether you are either acti ungekürzt.
