Deception at the Diamond D Ranch (eBook, ePUB)
Ranger Cade Rigens is working to establish the nation's newest national park in one of the most rugged and remote parts of the American West. On the cusp of a history-making public hearing, the park's most vocal opponent comes to Cade with news about a young man who went missing doing research in the mountains. Venturing into the wilderness with a political adversary as his guide is the least of Cade's problems. As he struggles to uncover what happened, he gets the attention of militant activists who stymie his progress and threaten his safety. As he gets close to unraveling it all, he discovers at the center a mystery as old as the region's settlement. Deception at the Diamond D Ranch is grounded in present-day political tensions about federal land in the West. It also draws on the story and heritage of Basques who moved to the West at the turn of the twentieth century to work as miners and sheep herders. Basque language, dance, traditions and stories dating to 6000 BC are thriving in the Intermountain West, and the central riddle in Deception at the Diamond D Ranch hinges on the lore and legends of this vibrant and influential heritage.- Shop: buecher

In the middle of an ashen wasteland lies the last known haven for mankind, a small, primitive town in a small oasis, where the dwindling population struggles daily to survive. Part of that survival hinges on an ancient ritual where a special few must make the perilous journey to the sacred Tower of Light. Addy Swift, a 16-year-old born with a power she can't control, is safe from that ritual for another year; that is, until the rules change. But when the test of the Proven goes wrong, she learns that she could be the one person in a thousand years who can put an end to the Faege, a festering plague responsible for ruining the land and sickening the people. Ill-trained but determined to save her people, Addy strikes out with a band of people who can't seem to get along.

The Post-Birthday World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1454min
From the Orange Prize winning author of We Need to Talk About Kevin, this is the novel Lionel Shriver wrote directly afterwards. The Post-Birthday World is an unflinching account of the choices that unfold before us and what our decisions really mean. Irina McGovern's destiny hinges on a single kiss. Whether she gives in to its temptation will determine whether she stays with her reliable partner, Lawrence, or runs off with Ramsey, a hard-living snooker player. Employing a parallel universe structure, Shriver spins Irina's competing futures with two drastically different men. An intellectual and fellow American, Lawrence is clever and supportive but rigid and emotionally withdrawn. A British celebrity, Ramsey is passionate and spontaneous but jealous, undereducated and prone to picking arguments. Their contrasting characters will colour her other relationships, her career and the texture of her daily life. If love is always about trade-offs - if every romantic prospect is flawed - how can we ever know whom to choose? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Helen Johns, Lionel Shriver - author's note.

Trevayne , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 987min
Fearless and incorruptible, Andrew Trevayne is a self-made millionaire, former undersecretary of state, and current head of one of the nation's most prestigious foundations. Now, at the express wish of the president, Trevayne undertakes an investigation into the "secret government" - and is soon swept up in a tidal wave of intrigue and danger. Beyond the corridors of official power, he discovers a nightmare maze where billionaires mingle with Mafia dons, where sinister forces are poised to enact a chilling conspiracy, where Congress and even the presidency itself can be bought and sold, where survival hinges on a hair trigger.
