    Mr. Wrong: Heroes of Henderson, Book 5 (Volume 9) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 754min
    Missy McReady followed Mr. Right to Henderson and then fell for Mr. All Wrong and his big red truck. Saying no to Thor's sexy brawn and Southern-boy charm has turned into Missy's very own mission impossible. Instead of backpedaling her way out of his arms and out of his town, last night happened. Former Army Ranger Thurgood Watson III zeroed in on his target months ago. From the beginning, The girl had needs, and he's been filling them. Now he's planning a Special Op to coax the softer side of Missy onto his plantation and into his bed. But even the highly trained, highly observant Ranger can't sniff out every threat. When Thor runs up against the real hero in Missy's life, it's like stepping on an IED. Game freaking over. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Lawrence.

    Numbers Raging: Numbers Game Saga, Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 628min
    In this thrilling conclusion to the Numbers Game Saga, it's been 10 weeks since Treena returned to NORA. The council has rejected her war preparations at every turn, and Dresden is backpedaling on his promises. When he tells everyone the danger has passed and denies there was ever a threat, Treena's secret followers push her to unseat Dresden and take control - something she can't bear to consider now with NORA on the brink of war. Meanwhile, infighting at Vance's settlement is turning into violent unrest and the drought has made his settlement's future bleak. Joining NORA seems inevitable, but Vance refuses to give in...not with war looming over their cities. Not when it means putting his younger sisters in danger. When Treena goes overseas to plead for help, Vance is torn between his responsibilities and his heart. Together, Treena and Vance must navigate the political undercurrents of a strange new country, convince an indifferent world of their plight, and somehow stay together despite a prince's determination to tear them apart. ungekürzt.

    Border Patrol Nation: Dispatches from the Front Lines of Homeland Security , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min
    In his scathing and deeply reported examination of the US Border Patrol, Todd Miller argues that the agency has gone rogue since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, trampling on the dignity and rights of the undocumented with military-style tactics....Miller's book arrives at a moment when it appears that part of the Homeland Security apparatus is backpedaling by promising to tone down its tactics, maybe prodded by investigative journalism, maybe by the revelations of NSA leaker Edward Snowden.... Border Patrol is quite possibly the right book at the right time.... (Tony Perry, Los Angeles Times) "At the start of his unsettling and important new book, Border Patrol Nation, Miller observes that these days 'it is common to see the Border Patrol in places - such as Erie, Pennsylvania; Rochester, New York; or Forks, Washington - where only 15 years ago it would have seemed far-fetched, if not unfathomable.” (Barbara Spindel, Christian Science Monitor) "Miller’s approach in Border Patrol Nation is to offer a glimpse into the secretive operations of the Border Patrol, reporting with a journalist’s objectivity and nose for a good story. Miller’s book is full of facts, and it’s clear he’s outraged, but he gives voices to people on every side of the issue … Miller’s book is a fascinating read...and bring the work of Susan Orlean to mind." (Amanda Eyre Ward, Kirkus Reviews) Armed authorities watch from a military-grade surveillance tower as lines of people stream toward the security checkpoint, tickets in hand, anxious and excited to get through the gate. Few seem to notice or care that the US Border Patrol is monitoring the Super Bowl, as they have for years, one of the many ways that forces created to police the borders are now being used, in an increasingly militarized fashion, to survey and monitor the whole of American society. In fast-paced prose, Todd Miller sounds an alarm as he chronicles th ungekürzt.
