    Floaters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min
    Who else but Joseph Wambaugh could write "a joy, a hoot, a riot of a book" that is also acclaimed as "one of this season's best crime novels"? That's how The New York Times Book Review and Time, respectively, described his last novel, Finnegan's Week. Nobody writes a faster, funnier, more satisfying tale of cops and criminals, the high life and lowlifes that Wambaugh - and Floaters is his sharpest yet. Mick Fortney and his partner Leeds manage to cruise above the standard police stress - pools of coffee and Pepto-Bismol - they're water cops in the "Club Harbor Unit", manning a patrol boat on San Diego's Mission Bay. A typically rough day's detail consists of scoping out body-sculpted beauties on pleasure craft, rescuing boating bozos who've run aground, jeering at lifeguards, and hauling in the occasional floater who comes to the surface. But now their days are anything but typical, because the America's Cup international sailing regattas have come to town and suddenly San Diego is swarming with yacht crazies of every nationality, the cuppies who want to love them, and the looky-look tourists, racing spies, scam artists, and hookers who all want their piece of the action. It's the outstanding body and jaunty smile - full of mischief, full of hell - of one cuppie, a particularly fiery redhead named Blaze, that gets Leeds and Fortney's attention. First Leeds drowns in frustratingly unrequited boozy love from afar. Then, with her increasingly odd behavior, Blaze tweaks every one of their cop instincts, alerting them that something's not quite right on the waterfront. Indeed, Blaze will soon lead Detective Anne Zorn and Mick Fortney along a bizarre criminal trail that would be hilarious if it didn't wind up just as nasty as it gets, with a pair of murders right on the eve of the biggest sailing race of all. Filled with all of Joseph Wambaugh's trademark skills - laugh-out-loud writing, crackling dialo ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Todd McLaren.

    The Inheritors of Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min
    John Thomas Rourke's world is now roughly one-third of what it was; everything above latitude 35 degrees north and below latitude 35 degrees south is encased in glacial ice. The geography drastically changed but little else did. Maniacs and evil had still tried to dominate those who wanted to be free. Days became weeks, weeks became months and months turned into years as he battled and vanquished the enemies of humanity in every form and shape damnation threw at him. His last victory, almost 17 years ago, granted him peace a peace he had courted, a peace he had sought one he never believed he would find. That peace is about to end; Rourke's world is threatened again by forces he never conceived of. Are they so unpredictable situations so dire there is no way to plan ahead? ungekürzt.

    Linebacker: Wings Over Nam, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 252min
    They brought death and destruction to the north - and every mission could be their last. Washington wanted a safe war, where no American died and the enemy was pounded into submission. In Guam and Thailand a handful of men were chosen to fight that kind of war. The operation was Linebacker, and the mission was to use the big, bomb-ladened B-52s to strike terror deep behind the DMZ. For the men of the long-range, high altitude bombing squads it was a nerve-racking, soul-scorching journey over hostile territory, dodging flak while the North Vietnamese gunners honed their skills. And as the war went from bad to worse, and the bombers became Washington's weapon of choice, every B-52 man knew he was the enemy's most hated target - and that being shot down meant a fate worse than death... ungekürzt.

    The Highbinders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 314min
    In California, the Southern Pacific Railway was prying the West wide open, and the land was worth its weight in gold. While some men got in on the action, and some got out of the way, one group of settlers was making a stand and holding up the railway. Turning to Alan Pinkerton's Chicago detective agency, the railroad robber barons hire the perfect agent to penetrate the settlers' organization, a man who had learned a spy's trade in the Civil War. Tall, debonair, and pleasure-loving Ash Tallman can fight when he has to, lie when he needs to, and make love when he wants the right kind of woman on his side. But as Tallman enters the lush San Joaquin Valley in the company of a risk-taking beauty, he finds a fight with no clear battle lines, no sure enemies, and only one way out: by hunting the killers who are hunting him. ungekürzt.

    The Rourke saga continues now with Michael Rourke striving to lead America back from the precipice of a liberal agenda toward the formation of a responsible government, accountable to the people. However, he has been painted as a psychological maniac killer and his wife, Natalia, is viewed as an unsuitable First Lady because of her past as a KGB operative. An alien force, The Coalition, is trying to destroy the planet and yet still another alien group is staged, waiting for their chance to take control of Earth's human population. Traitors within the human race have aligned with both sides, and the Rourke family is once again thrust into the breach. It seems that no matter how far into the future you travel, some things never change, there are just new faces being worn by evil. John Thomas Rourke knows, "It always pays to plan ahead". If he fails, Earth's population has only two futures-extinction or slavery. Which will it be? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott "Scooter" Fortney.

    The Wild Weasels: Wings Over Nam, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 260min
    There was no terror like a SAM launch. There was no vengeance like a Weasel.... Every pilot knew the NVA was building radar-guided SAM missile sites, but Washington prohibited any strikes until the death rockets were up and blowing American fliers to pieces. At the Gunfighter's Club in Saigon, the cold beer, blaring rock 'n' roll, and bare-assed girls can't wash away the bitterness, and Air Force Major William Taylor knows that something has to be done fast. What he doesn't know is that stateside, a bunch of green volunteers are testing a modified F-100 fighter. Their mission: learn to fly their killing machines into the very teeth of the NVA missile sites-and destroy them. Their code name: the Wild Weasels. When the untested, undertrained Weasels arrive in country, Major William Taylor will be the first to join them in the blood-red skies of Vietnam-for a death-defying mission of revenge. ungekürzt.
