Under The Blue Flag: My Mission in Kosovo , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 669min

Seeking to escape the monotony he had come to endure in his job as assistant District Attorney in San Francisco, Philip Kearney needed a change. His solution came one day in a casual email from a friend: “UN has opening here for an international prosecutor doing war crimes stuff. You should apply, gotta go.”“Here” meant Pristina, Kosovo. And “stuff”—Kearney soon finds out, after landing the job despite his inexperience with international law and inability to speak any foreign languages—meant a harrowing string of investigations involving the most brutal and devastating crimes imaginable. Abruptly removed from the comforts of home and the order and stability of America’s justice system, Kearny finds himself the sole international prosecutor assigned to a region of nearly one million people. Welcome to the Balkans circa 2001.Kearney is thrown headlong into a series of historic investigations that quickly land him under the protection of four armed security guards. Armed himself with only the region’s archaic criminal justice code, Kearney is soon prosecuting local street thugs, shutting down a ring of international sex-traffickers, and spearheading an investigation into secret death camps—a case that ultimately implicates prominent local officials and inflames ethnic violence. He developed an urgent passion, stemming from devastating stories of torture, murder, and slavery that dominate Kosovo’s bleak landscape. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Philip Kearney.

Johnstone bring together two of their most legendary heroes in the first three novels of a bold new Western series. When the rugged mountain man known as Preacher and the Scottish clan rancher Jamie Ian MacCallister join forces, justice will set the record straight on the wild American frontier . . . FRONTIER AMERICA As the father of a young Crow tribesman, Preacher would like nothing more than to see the long-time natives and newly arrived settlers live together in peace-until the killing starts. As a family man and frontiersman, Jamie Ian MacCallister is more than happy to help the officers at Fort Kearny negotiate a peace treaty with the Crow nation-until it all goes to hell. Caught in a brutal, blood-drenched frontier war, two heroic men must fight and win for liberty and justice for all . . . THEY CAME TO KILL When the bigwigs in Washington decide to build a transcontinental railroad to the West Coast, they need a man who's just as unstoppable to clear a path through Mexican territory.

He needs back-up. He needs a non-stop force of mountain-man fury who goes by the name of Preacher . . . WHEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE It's one of the great mysteries of the Old West. The unexplained disappearance of a hunting party of Prussian nobles who entered the American wilderness-and never returned. Now, years later, the Prussian government demands an explanation. In response, the U.S. Army hires Preacher and Jamie MacCallister to join their search party-along with a band of Prussian soldiers led by the sinister Baron Adalwolf von Kuhner. This is no rescue mission. It's a massacre in the making. And when the hunters become the hunted, all hell breaks loose . . . Live Free. Read Hard.
