    Grace: Stories and a Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 357min
    “We’re all flawed and confronted daily with sometimes slight but often apparently insurmountable challenges. But if we dig deep, what we unearth from the depths of our souls, if we’re lucky, can allow us to overcome and carry on to live another day with an untortured heart.” This is the sentiment Dan Burns explores in his exciting new collection. Five stories and a novella highlight Burns’s range as a storyteller and his ability to see life and all its emotions through a unique lens. This collection features his most personal and insightful stories to date. "Redemption" - In a quiet Montana town, an aging writer and his nephew are forced to weave the past and the present into a future of more significant meaning. "The Plight of Maximus Octavius Reinhold" - In the new story featuring private investigator Sebastian Drake (from the novel A Fine Line), the local patrons of a rural Wisconsin town test Drake’s resolve as he stares into the barrel of a .44 Magnum revolver. "Hardwired" - A dying man contemplates the end of his life while hoping to pass along a secret legacy to his family. "Adrift at Sea" - To fuel his creative desires, a seabound journeyman leaves behind the anchor of distraction in pursuit of a natural world. "The Final Countdown" - In the year 2110, the Earth struggles to survive, ravaged by overpopulation and greed. Food is scarce, and the youth-run government has no choice but to implement a plan devised decades earlier: deport the elderly population to a remote outpost - on the moon. Grace: A Novella - A story of impaired love, betrayal, and redemption as realized by characters who experience life through the perception of liquor-bottle glasses. Life is never what it seems. Everyone has secrets. The question is whether the skeleton key of alcohol will open the closet door and let out the hidden truths. The collection incl ungekürzt.

    Drake: The Kings of Guardian, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 462min
    Life wasn’t fair. Drake Simmons and his identical twin Dixon had had that lesson beaten into them early and well. Their past had so savaged their souls, no amount of “confronting their demons” could heal them, but Drake’s twin refused to acknowledge that truth. For the first time in decades, Drake watched Dixon embark on a dangerous assignment without him. So, he did the only thing he could do: He prayed hard and pushed forward.While visiting with an old mentor, Drake's past reintroduced itself in the shapely form of one hell of a distraction. Her name was Dr. Jillian Law, and it appeared people were intent on killing her. Of all the people in the world, her father could have asked to protect her, why did it have to be him?She’d known Drake and, of course, Dixon - you didn’t get one without the other - through her teens and early twenties. For years, she’d painfully adored Drake with the raw passion a young woman could only feel for her first love. He’d never viewed her as anything other than a friend, and she’d hidden her feelings behind her thick glasses and shy behavior.Since then, she’d earned her PhD and had invented a solar power source that provided almost limitless, cheap, energy - a device for which someone was willing to kill her. If circumstances were determined to throw them together again, the least she could do was make Drake see her as Dr. Jillian Law. She wasn’t “Silly Jilly” anymore. The girl was gone, forever, but the woman who remained had never forgotten Drake.  Though torn and distracted by the absence of his twin, Drake grows to realize this benign shadow from his past might be the key to his future - if he can keep her alive. ungekürzt.

    Watch Her Vanish: Rockwell and Decker, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 758min
    Fear hits her like a wave crashing against the sheer cliffs nearby. She sees the woman’s feet first, then the legs bent like broken driftwood. Then, the blouse strewn open; the marks on her beautiful neck. Her knees buckle as a hand grabs her elbow to break her fall. Forced home to Fog Harbor, California, to look after her little sister, criminal psychologist Olivia Rockwell is struggling to adjust to life in a town so small she can hardly breathe. Until, at church one morning, the sound of a scream leads her to the body of a missing local teacher in the shallows nearby. All the evidence points to Olivia’s most threatening patient, Drake, who is safely locked up behind bars....Convinced of Drake’s innocence - and desperate to believe in the system that’s keeping her own murderer father behind bars - Olivia gets to work on her own suspect list. All her life she’s run toward trouble, but this time she’s treading on the toes of brooding and handsome Detective Will Decker.Then a second woman’s body is discovered, strangled while out on an evening jog. The strip of blue material used to choke her implicates Drake once again, forcing Olivia and Will to admit they are out of their depth and must work together to crack the case.The deeper they dig, the deadlier the trail becomes. It’s clear more innocent women will die if they don’t get one step ahead. But then a note written on a scrap of paper found in the last victim’s car leads them to a terrifying realization: The killer has his sights on Olivia’s little sister as the next victim....An addictive crime thriller that will keep you up all night. Perfect for fans of Melinda Leigh, Kendra Elliot, and Mary Burton. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kristin James.

    To Clear Away the Shadows: RCN Series, Book 13 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    NEW ENTRY IN DAVID DRAKE'S LANDMARK RCN SERIES  ADVENTURES BEYOND THE EDGE OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE  The truce between Cinnabar and the Alliance is holding, and the Republic of Cinnabar Navy is able to explore regions of the galaxy without the explorers being swept up in great power conflict.  The Far Traveller is probing sponge space to open routes for Cinnabar traders - and for RCN warships if war breaks out again. But besides astrogation, the Far Traveller is to survey and catalog life forms on the worlds it touches.  Harry Harper has just been posted to the Traveller. He's an RCN officer by convention, a scientist by training - and a member of one of leading aristocratic families on Cinnabar by birth.  Lieutenant Rick Grenville would rather serve on a warship in the heart of battle, but peace and the whim of the Navy Board have put him on an exploration vessel instead. He finds that the dangers on the fringes of civilization are just as great as those from missiles and gunfire that he expected to face.  As internal struggles cause the Alliance to relax its iron grip, regional forces are attempting to increase their own power - and they're not fussy about the means they use.  Besides the biological answers that officials on Cinnabar expect the Far Traveller to find, the ship's Director of Science, Doctor Veil, has her own agenda: to learn more about the Archaic Spacefarers who roamed the universe tens of thousands of years before humans reached the stars.  The crew of the Far Traveller is poised to clear more of the shadows away from the deep past than ever before in human history - if they survive.  At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).  Praise for prequel Though Hell Should Bar the Way:  “Though Hell Should Bar the Way is vastly entertaining, a tale that demonstrates Drake’s skill as an ungekürzt.

    The thrilling re-telling of Arthurian legend from master of science fiction and fantasy David Drake continues! A young Champion must rescue a friend and battle an enemy at the heart of a chaotic world. The universe has shattered into chaos and monsters. Jon, the Leader, is dedicating his life to reuniting the scattered hamlets into a Commonwealth where all humans can live protected against the darkness and the things that live in that darkness. But no man can reshape the universe by himself. Jon has Makers to build weapons and clerks to handle the business of government - but he also needs Champions to face the powers of chaos which will not listen to any argument but force. Lord Pal of Beune is one of those Champions. He has fought monsters and evil on behalf of Mankind, and he will fight them again. But now Guntram, the man who transformed Pal from an ignorant rube into a bulwark of the Commonwealth, has disappeared. Pal must locate his friend and mentor - and then he must battle an entity which may be at the core of the splintered universe! Pal of Beune: A humane man in a universe full of inhumanity. Pal of Beune: A strong man in a universe where some recognize only strength. Pal of Beune: A hero who will keep going until something stops him - and who hasn't been stopped yet! “I finished The Storm last night. I loved it. It was such a sweet read. Pal is one of [Drake’s] best people, humane and strong and generous, and his voice carries the whole book.” (Cecelia Holland, author, The Sea Beggars)“Counterbalancing the setting’s strangeness, Pal himself is thoroughly levelheaded and decent, the kind of hero readers will enjoy rooting for. This is an enjoyable exploration of a pleasantly peculiar world.” (Publishers Weekly) "...a wonderful cast of characters in a fabulous world of courtiers, peasants, Beasts, and mysterious Envoys.
