  Habitat , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 587min

  Eco-Breeder or Satan’s Scientist? A nightclub fire claims 53 lives, including that of Dr. Hannah Strindberg, a scientist who runs the secretive Breedhaven project on a remote island near the US-Canada international border. The nightclub fire proves to be arson. US Fish and Wildlife Undercover Agent Venus Diamond suspects the target was Dr. Strindberg. Strindberg's breakthrough work in the harvesting, freezing, and cloning of embryos of endangered species has earned the admiration of her benefactors, and the ire of more than a few detractors. Would the arsonist strike again, perhaps next time setting fire to Dr. Strindberg's private habitat on Helix Island, the paradise where the murdered scientist rescued species that even now thrive and multiply? The controversial Breedhaven project has many detractors; its vision of saving endangered species seems foolhardy, even perhaps "tinkering with God’s Plan", at least in the minds of Dr. Strindberg’s enemies. Is an angry proponent of "Intelligent Design" behind the murder of Dr. Strindberg and the other nightclub arson victims? Dr. Strindberg’s valuable lifesaving work may well continue…but only if Venus accepts an adventure that will alter her life - personal and professional - and not before the murderer strikes again. ungekürzt.

  Cat's Litter: Cajun Tale, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min

  What would cause two friends to leave Cajun country and go on a foolhardy romp through Colorado? The argumentative Cajun and Tee Man attend the National western stock show in Denver to buy a bull. They craft an impromptu visit to Winter Park ski resort where, coincidently, the blind J.O., is enjoying winter sports with challenged veterans. The raucous bunch celebrates and J.O. cajoles Cat into a snowmobile race, which ends in near-disaster. Cat and Tee Man receive a traffic citation on their return trip to Denver for tossing trash from their vehicle. Cat's belligerence in court earns him a fine for contempt and Tee Man is sentenced to community service. The duo encounters a run-away teenager and her baby, hunted by a heartless baby-seller. Cat again demonstrates his propensity for trouble when he spares neither energy nor money to help the fugitive teen elude the evildoer. Patsy Mae, summoned by her grandpa to Denver, experiences a near-calamitous adventure of her own. Back home, Tee Man battles his mother-in-law about her feelings towards Caucasians. Cat's family and friends agonize over the diagnosis when he undergoes a traumatic episode during attempts to rescue Tee Man's captive family from hostage takers. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Forever Texas (eBook, ePUB)

  JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. No one knows better than the American masters of epic Western fiction that forging a new life on the frontier takes hope, drive, and plenty of ammunition. The war is over. But a new battle is on the horizon. Based on true events. It's 1852. The wounds of the Mexican War are healing. Regis Royle, co-owner of a steamship fleet, has made it out alive, relatively unscarred and with enough profit and foolhardy ambition to envision a new life in south Texas. With the help of his crack-shot kid brother Shepley, his glad-handing riverboat partner Cormac Delany, and his old friend, raw-edged former Texas Ranger Jarvis "Bone" McGraw, Regis is laying claim to the prime jewel in a magnificent rolling prairie: the Santa Calina range teeming with wild mustangs, cattle, and eighteen-thousand acres of lush promise. But all dreams have a price. For Regis, it's hell to pay-and the fire is coming at him from all directions. On one side of the border, it's banditos and a vengeful Mexican heiress with a passionate hatred for greenhorn gringos. Especially those who have their eye on land once owned by her family. On the other side, the Apaches, slave traders, and outlaws have Santa Calina in their sights. And none of them are going to walk away from the bloody battle. The brothers Royle and their partners have the most to lose-including their lives. They made a pledge to themselves to build the greatest ranch in America. To see it through to the end, they'll have to ride hard and learn the bitter necessity of violence and bloodshed.

  David Stirling (eBook, ePUB)

  Aristocrat, gambler, innovator and special forces legend, the life of David Stirling should need no retelling. His formation of the Special Air Service in the summer of 1941 led to a new form of warfare and Stirling is remembered as the father of special forces soldiering. But was he really a military genius or in fact a shameless self-publicist who manipulated people, and the truth, for this own ends? In this gripping and controversial biography Gavin Mortimer analyses Stirling's complex character: the childhood speech impediment that shaped his formative years, the pressure from his overbearing mother, his fraught relationship with his brother, Bill, and the jealousy and inferiority he felt in the presence of his SAS second-in-command, the cold-blooded killer Paddy Mayne.Stirling lived until old age, receiving a knighthood and plaudits from military forces around the world before his death in 1990. Yet as Mortimer dazzlingly shows, while Stirling was instrumental in selling the SAS to Churchill and senior officers, it was Mayne who really carried the regiment in the early days. Stirling was at best an incompetent soldier and at worst a foolhardy one, who jeopardised his men's live with careless talk and hare-brained missions. Drawing on interviews with SAS veterans who fought with Stirling and men who worked with him on his post-war projects, and examining recently declassified governments files about Stirling's involvement in Aden, Libya and GB75, Mortimer's riveting biography is incisive, bold, honest and written with his customary narrative panache. Impeccably researched and with the courage to challenge the mythical SAS 'brand', Mortimer brings to bear his unparalleled expertise as WW2's premier special forces historian to dig beneath the legend and reveal the real David Stirling, a man who dared and deceived.

  A Place Called Grace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min

  Struggling New York actress Alison has an outwardly good life: toned body, plenty of dates, a comfortable daily regimen. Still, she feels stagnant, empty, and as blocked as the river view from her Upper West Side apartment. Now divorced and in her mid-30s, she has never gotten past an early childhood trauma of being torn away from her brother and sister when her parents separated. Since then, nothing sticks. No one stays. She craves a sense of permanence, a place to call home.To shake things up, Alison makes a bold, possibly foolhardy move - she relocates to bureaucracy-riddled Rome, where she barely speaks the language, knows no one except the elusive Casanova who gave her one vacation night of pleasure, and has no acting work waiting. In a series of tragi-comic encounters, she tries to settle in to an exotic culture, looks for amore in all the wrong places, and begins to break into the acting world.After a serious accident, Alison’s hopes for an Italian fantasy life come crashing down. Back in New York, the personal tragedies and career obstacles pile up until salvation arrives from an unexpected source.A Place Called Grace is a humorous, hopeful, bittersweet contemporary memoir.

  The First Society: The Sacrament of Matrimony and the Restoration of the Social Order , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 311min

  Everyone seems to agree that Western civilization is in trouble. The problem is that no one agrees on what has gone wrong or what to do about it. Some think we have too much government, some not enough; some think we have too much capitalism, some not enough; some think we have too much sexual freedom, some not enough. But what if the problem is much more fundamental? What if the problem goes to the very foundations of who we are as human beings in relationship with God? In The First Society: The Sacrament of Matrimony and the Restoration of the Social Order, Scott Hahn makes the startling claim that our society's ills and its cures are rooted in whether we reject or accept the divine graces made available through the sacrament of holy matrimony. Man, he argues, is social in his very nature. We were created for community. As it was in the beginning, so it remains today. The family, formed through the sacrament of matrimony, is the most basic building block of every society - whether we like it or not. We've corrupted marriage, and so we have a corrupt society. If we get marriage right, our society, through God's grace, will flourish. This is so because matrimony, like all the sacraments, heals and elevates human nature. Without marriage, our ambitions toward a just social order will remain forever foolhardy. With it, the seemingly impossible, a truly peaceful and humane civilization, becomes possible. ungekürzt.

  Expatriate Games: My Season of Misadventures in Czech Semi-Pro Basketball , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 521min

  A young American learns invaluable life lessons through basketball. When Dave Fromm graduated from college with good grades and high LSAT scores, he planned to apply to law school. But he actually wasn't that sure he wanted to go, at least not right away. A few years earlier, he'd been to Prague for a vacation and played a game of pickup basketball there. He was a decent basketball player, though not good enough to make the team at Boston College either time he'd tried out. So he did the kind of thing we'd all do if we had the guts (and a foolhardy sense of determination) - he moved to Prague to play basketball, even though he didn't speak Czech, or know anyone in Prague, or if the Czechs had basketball leagues there, much less professional leagues, still less if they let foreigners play. Expatriate Games is Dave Fromm's touching and amusing memoir of the year (1994) he spent playing basketball for TJ Sokol Krlovsk Vinohrady, a Czech semi-pro team. Throughout, Fromm, a self-proclaimed "gym-rat", struggles with his teammates, the European style of play, and the language barrier. But miraculously, Fromm describes how, despite the struggles, the team came together, a girl appeared, and he was introduced to a side of Prague most foreigners can't see - a Prague full of ghosts and back alleys and a people simultaneously embracing and reeling from transition. ungekürzt.

  The Idiot Government Reviews: A Laugh-Out-Loud Comedy Book , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 105min

  We've all seen the news over the last few years, watching in wonder and disbelief at the situations the people entrusted to run the country get themselves into and then proceed to lie their way out of. Just imagine--and this won't be hard--that they were so stupid they wrote reviews of the items that got them into or out of their latest bits of trouble and posted them online. Ted Williebond is angry, not only at having to settle for running the opposition but also for the bullying he had to endure at school by Cameron Davies and Gary Osburn, who now run the government and don't mind pointing that out to Ted every time they see him. Join Ted as he foolishly leaves reviews of such items as Silly String, vodka, and thick curtains as he tries his hardest to bring down the coalition. On the other side of the fence, we've got Daniel Dangly, a foolhardy, old-school politician from Southamptonshire who, try as he might, cannot outrun the press, who seem to stalk him for easy stories; and Elouise Munch, a career girl more concerned about who's defaced her designer handbag than the people in her constituency. Neither Cameron Davies nor Ted Williebond runs the show, though; in fact Betty Rivers, the CEO of Information Inc., does. It can't work out well, can it? Welcome to The Idiot Government Reviews. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tony Scheinman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/029184/bk_acx0_029184_sample.mp3.
