H.A.L.F.: The Makers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 748min
Roswell. Area 51. The X-Files. You've seen the aliens known as "the Greys" in movies and on TV. But what if everything you think you know about them is wrong? And what if the Greys are only the beginning? On a nondescript planet on the far side of the galaxy, the M'Uktah have evolved from a wolf-like predatory creature into a highly advanced species that has mastered intergalactic travel. They are cultured. Refined. And hungry. Erika Holt dodged death and departed Earth in an alien ship. It wasn't how she'd planned to spend her senior year. Is she on her way to paradise? Or to a hell worse than the underground lab she escaped? The greys rescued Tex from A.H.D.N.A. and have promised him a life he could never have imagined. But what will he have to give up to become one with the Conexus? Jack Wilson is still Commander Sturgis' prisoner but a promise of freedom comes from an unlikely source. Will his liberation cost more than he's willing to pay? Commander Sturgis has the vindication she craved and the alien war she prepared for. But while she cleans up the mess the aliens left behind, The Makers have other plans for Sturgis and her prized creation, Alecto. Caught up in their personal battles, will any of them realize the threat that looms over us all before it's too late? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dylan White.

The Teeth of the Tiger , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1003min
In a nondescript office building in suburban Maryland, the firm Hendley Associates does a profitable business in stocks, bonds, and international currencies, but its true mission is quite different: to identify and locate terrorist threats, and then deal with them, in whatever manner necessary. Established with the knowledge of President John Patrick Ryan, "the Campus" is always on the lookout for promising new talent, its recruiters scattered throughout the armed forces and government agencies - and three men are about to cross its radar. The first is Dominic Caruso, a rookie FBI agent, barely a year out of Quantico, whose decisive actions resolve a particularly brutal kidnap/murder case. The second is Caruso's brother, Brian, a Marine captain just back from his first combat action in Afghanistan, and already a man to watch. And the third is their cousin...a young man named Jack Ryan, Jr. Jack was raised on intrigue. As his father moved through the ranks of the CIA and then into the White House, Jack received a life course in the world and the way it operates from agents, statesmen, analysts, Secret Service men, and black ops specialists such as John Clark and Ding Chavez. He wants to put it all to work now, but when he knocks on the front door of "the Campus," he finds that nothing has prepared him for what he is about to encounter. For it is indeed a different world out there - and in here. And it is about to become far more dangerous. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Hoye.

Gangland New York: The Places and Faces of Mob History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 396min
From the Bowery Boys and the Five Points Gang through the rise of the Jewish "Kosher Nostra" and the ascendance of the Italian Mafia, mobsters have played a major role in the city's history, lurking just around the corner or inside that nondescript building. Bill "the Butcher" Poole, Paul Kelly, Monk Eastman, "Lucky" Luciano, Carlo Gambino, Meyer Lansky, Mickey Spillane, John Gotti - each held sway over New York neighborhoods that nurtured them and gave them power. As families and factions fought for control, the city became a backdrop for crime scenes, the rackets spreading after World War II to docks, airports, food markets, and garment districts. The streets of Brooklyn, swamps of Staten Island, and vacant lots near LaGuardia Airport hosted assassinations and hasty burials for the unlucky. The bloodlettings, arrests, and trials became front-page fodder for tabloids that thrived on covering Mulberry Street. Chinese, Russian, and Greek mobsters rose to prominence and wrought bloody havoc as well. Each of Gangland New York's five sections - one for each borough - traces criminal activities and area exploits from the 19th century to now. Everyone knows about Umberto's Clam House in Little Italy, but now you can find Scarpato's restaurant in Coney Island, where Joe Masseria was killed by henchmen of Salvatore Maranzano, who in turn died in a Park Avenue office building at the hands of "Lucky" Luciano a few months later. From the Bronx to Brighton Beach, from New Springville to Ozone Park, here is a comprehensive, on-the-ground guide to mob life in the Rotten Apple. ungekürzt. Language: English.

In another non-descript room somewhere very close by, Paul Grisham, Camille’s father, is also being held captive. For what purpose, no one knows. But one thing is known for sure: There isn’t much time to save him.To do so, Camille rejoins the Bureau as a consultant. The abductor patterns his crimes after the infamous serial killer Daniel Sykes, and no one knows those patterns better than Camille. But this case is deeply personal. With homicide detective and trusted ally Chloe Sullivan by her side, Camille’s resolve will be tested in ways it never has, as she faces down a killer whose blind hatred and thirst for revenge threaten everything she holds dear.His plan is to draw her out. One vicious word at a time. One threatened life at a time. By taking the bait, Camille can save the person she loves most.

Freemasons: The Hidden History of Freemasonry in the Last 100 Years: Secret Societies, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min
Freemasons have in many ways shaped the world as we know it today. Discover the hidden history of the secret society of Freemasonry in the last 100 years and the conspiracy theories that followed. In their three centuries of official existence, Freemasons have been routinely praised and despised, regularly cheered and derided. Some believe that they are a fraternal organization that promotes leadership and good character, while others are convinced that they are a secretive cabal hell-bent on world domination. Mason-backed organizations such as the Shriners are praised for their charitable giving, while other lodges are held in contempt for their secretiveness. When it comes to stark dichotomies such as this, the argument to moderation would indicate that the truth lies somewhere in between. Well, fallacious as that argument is, Freemasonry would still be a riveting tale even if it did fall neatly between both sides of the equation! In this book we will explore the last 100 years of Freemasonry, as well as the larger implications of Masonic influences and practices. We will also discuss Masonry’s latest trends and probable future trajectory. So, if you don’t know already - listen to this book to learn the full story of what really goes on in that quiet, nondescript little lodge on the corner! Because despite what your grandfather may have told you, there is more going on than card games, pancakes, and fish fries! Here, in one concise chronological timeline, we uncover the last 100 years of Freemasonry!Ready to discover the hidden history of the Freemasons?Scroll back up and get this audiobook now! ungekürzt.

Hellhound on His Trail: The Stalking of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the International Hunt for His Assassin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 909min
From the acclaimed best-selling author of Ghost Soldiers and Blood and Thunder, a taut, intense narrative about the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the largest manhunt in American history. On April 23, 1967, Prisoner #416J, an inmate at the notorious Missouri State Penitentiary, escaped in a breadbox. Fashioning himself Eric Galt, this nondescript thief and con man - whose real name was James Earl Ray - drifted through the South, into Mexico, and then Los Angeles, where he was galvanized by George Wallace's racist presidential campaign. On February 1, 1968, two Memphis garbage men were crushed to death in their hydraulic truck, provoking the exclusively African American workforce to go on strike. Hoping to resuscitate his faltering crusade, King joined the sanitation workers cause, but their march down Beale Street, the historic avenue of the blues, turned violent. Humiliated, King fatefully vowed to return to Memphis in April. With relentless storytelling drive, Sides follows Galt and King as they crisscross the country, one stalking the other, until the crushing moment at the Lorraine Motel when the drifter catches up with his prey. Against the backdrop of the resulting nationwide riots and the pathos of Kings funeral, Sides gives us a riveting cross-cut narrative of the assassins flight and the 65-day search that led investigators to Canada, Portugal, and England - a massive manhunt ironically led by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. Magnificent in scope, drawing on a wealth of previously unpublished material, this nonfiction thriller illuminates one of the darkest hours in American life - an example of how history is so often a matter of the petty bringing down the great. ungekürzt.
