Spoils , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 547min
Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Spoils by Brian Van Reet, read by Nicol Zanzarella, Armando Duran and Andrew Eiden. It is the spring of 2003, and coalition forces are advancing on Iraq. Images of a giant statue of Saddam Hussein crashing to the ground in Baghdad are being beamed to news channels around the world. Nineteen-year-old Specialist Cassandra Wigheard, on her first deployment since joining the US Army two years earlier, is primed for war. For Abu al-Hool, a jihadist since the days of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, war is wearing thin. Two decades of fighting - and the new wave of super-radicalised fighters joining the ranks in the wake of the September 11 attacks - have left him questioning his commitment to the struggle. When Cassandra is taken prisoner by al-Hool's mujahideen brotherhood, both fighters will find their loyalties tested to the very limits. This fast-paced, hard-hitting account of eight weeks in the lives of a soldier and her captor forces us to reconsider the simplistic narratives of war spun by those in power. With its privileged insight into the reality of armed combat, Spoils shines a light on the uncertainty, fear and idealism that characterised the early days of one of the most important conflicts of our time. ungekürzt.

Snowball Oranges: One Mallorcan Winter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 592min
Look! The weather has come from Scotland to welcome you to Mallorca," beamed Senor Ferrer. To our new neighbour's delight and my dismay, a cold mantle of white was rapidly transforming our newly acquired paradise in the sun into a bizarre winterscape of citrus Christmas trees, cotton wool palms and snowball oranges. It's the stuff of dreams. A Scottish family giving up relative sanity and security to go and grow oranges for a living in a secluded valley in the mountains of the Mediterranean island of Mallorca. But dreams, as everyone knows, have a nasty habit of not turning out quite as intended. Being greeted by a freak snowstorm is only the first of many surprises and experiences, and it isn't long before they realise that they have been sold a bit of a lemon of an orange farm by the wily previous owners. However, laughter is the best medicine when confronted with consuming a local dish of rats, the live-chicken-down-a-chimney technique of household maintenance, and attending a shotgun wedding. The colourful set of Mallorcan neighbours (including an eccentric old goatherd who eats worm-ridden oranges to improve his sex life) restores the family's faith in human nature and helps them adapt to a new and unexpectedly testing life in this deceptively simple idyll of rural Spain. ungekürzt.

Shooting the Wife: Wife Sharing, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min, (USK 18)
Suzi the submissive wife had proven herself willing to do anything at her husband's bidding for their mutual pleasure. She had let herself be pushed into all sorts of sexual excesses to please her husband. Watching a porno at home one evening gave Damion a great idea of how to push his wife's sexual boundaries next. His gorgeous wife was going to be filmed. Extract: "She's surely got the look," said Arnold appreciatively, "but can she do the business?" "You're the expert and I know there's a lot more to the business than a girl who opens her legs but I think you'll like the deal I'm offering," replied Damion as he swilled the warming liquid round his mouth. "Go on!" "I'm offering you Suzi completely free of charge for her first film. You can do whatever you want with her and she'll go with it," Damion offered. "I'll pick up her expenses for this one." "That seems like a deal that's too good to be true! What do you get out of it?" "Future investment! I have faith in the girl and I want to see her get on," Damion said with a convincing grin. "And I wouldn't mind watching the filming," he added. "You've got yourself a deal," beamed Arnold. "And if she's half as good as you think she is I'm sure they'll be more conventional contracts downstream." The men drank up and went their separate ways. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Live, Laugh, Love, Always, Lydia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 288min
Hello, beauts. I am so beyond excited to finally share with you my big secret. This audiobook is about my journey from start to finish, right up to what I'm looking for in the future. What an adventure it has been to write! I have laughed, cried, cringed and beamed with pride recounting all the crazy stories I have put into it. The 'Love' chapter needed to be completely rewritten halfway through, which was tough…but it worked a bit like therapy and has taught me so much about myself. I pinch myself all the time over how fortunate I have been. Not only was I born into the most magical family and given the most unique childhood - being part of a foster family full of love - but six years ago I landed a place on a little BAFTA award-winning show called TOWIE (I know, six years - crazy, right?). Through it I have grown from a quiet, vulnerable teenager who was honestly a bit lost in life into an entrepreneur, fund-raiser and worldwide adventurer, all before my 22nd birthday. Alongside my story I've shared everything I now know that I wish I had back then, from dating rules to makeup routines and the amazing workout that got me bikini ready for my TOWIE return in 2014. I've even packed it full of my favourite inspirational quotes, recipes, and photos (the good, the bad and the ugly!). So fingers and toes crossed that you like it. ;) Live, Laugh, Love, Always, Lydia. Written and read by Lydia Bright. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lydia Bright.

Ghost Radio , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
The chilling first novel by filmmaker, composer, and graphic novelist Leopoldo Gout, performed by actor Pedro Pascal (Narcos; Game of Thrones) “Ghost Radio reminded me of early Stephen King. The story sticks with you long after you’ve finished the final page.” (James Patterson) From the cramped bowels of a dimly lit radio station, Ghost Radio is beamed onto the airwaves. More than a call-in show to tell scary stories about vampires and poltergeists, Ghost Radio is a sanctuary for those sleepless denizens of the night, lost halfway between this world and the next. Joaquin, the hip, melancholy host, sits deep in a fog of cigarette smoke, fielding calls from believers and detractors alike. He is joined in the booth by his darkly beautiful girlfriend, Alondra, and his engineer, Watts. Soon what began as an underground cult sensation is primed to break out to mainstream audiences. When a huge radio conglomerate offers to syndicate the show and Ghost Radio becomes a national hit with an expanding legion of hardcore fans, neither Joaquin, Alondra, nor Watts is remotely prepared for what is about to happen. When Joaquin notices a curious and troubling phenomenon, he is inexplicably drawn further and further into the terrifying stories he solicits on the radio. As he slowly loses control over his reality and finds himself unable to distinguish between the real world and the world populated by the nightmares on Ghost Radio, he’s forced to confront his past and his own mortality in order to repair the crumbling wall between the living and the dead. ungekürzt.

Confessions of an Alien Hunter: A Scientist's Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 619min
Since the first Martian “canals” were charted in 1877, space aliens have captivated skygazers, night travelers, and television-watchers worldwide. Polls show that nearly half of all Americans believe in extraterrestrials, and many are convinced they’ve visited Earth. A fair number of scientists also suspect that aliens exist, and for decades they’ve been seriously searching - using powerful antennas and computers to scan for radio waves coming from other star systems. This engaging memoir reveals the true story of the Search for ExtraterrestrialIntelligence (SETI), and discloses what we may very soon discover. Chronicling the program’s history with insight and humor, SETI senior astronomer Seth Shostak assures us that if there is sentient life in the universe, we are within decades of picking up its signal. Methodically busting urban legends about alien crash landings, crop circles, and the like, Shostak pits scientific truth against speculation and delivers important news on the state of our knowledge. He answers a host of questions about SETI, including where its antennas are aimed…how we know which frequency to monitor…what our response might be…and why, if a signal is detected, “it will be one that’s deliberately beamed into space, not the Klingon equivalent of I Love Lucy.” Contrary to popular opinion, any aliens found by SETI will not resemble the squishy, big-eyed creatures on cinema screens. Rather, they will have already invented their successors: super smart post-biological thinking machines vastly beyond our own capabilities. Edgy, amusing, and remarkably profound, Confessions of an Alien Hunter addresses the startling possibilities awaiting us in deep space and in humankind’s own future. ungekürzt. Language: English.

District: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 903min
Outbreak - Day 1: Presidents, premiers, entire governments disappeared instantly, like a fragile house of cards in a hurricane. Some hid deep underground or holed up in fortified strongholds, but most were swallowed up by the dead, never to be heard from again. Cade Grayson - husband, father, patriot - discovered two undead enemy soldiers on American soil, and soon the official call to duty came directly from the President herself in a transmission beamed by military satellite to Cade's refuge in rural Utah: It was time to take up arms in defense of his country once again. Valerie Clay’s hard-to-fathom video footage, showing thousands of enemy soldiers establishing beachheads all along the West Coast, made it impossible to resist. He was a former US Army Delta Operator and he had to come to the aid of his dying country. If he and his team failed, it would leave America more vulnerable than ever - not only to the zombie scourge roaming the countryside, but to her enemies both foreign and domestic. While Cade is away, the Eden survivors learn a devastating secret: The dead have recovered from the effects of an early season snowstorm. They are everywhere. Worse, someone capable of unspeakable violence has been systematically stripping nearby towns of everything worth taking. Will Cade and his team survive their mission to halt the enemy’s push inland? Will the Eden survivors find the supplies they need for the upcoming long and brutal winter? And will they survive (are they prepared to survive) an encounter with those responsible for the grisly crimes against humanity? Discover who has what it takes to survive the zombie apocalypse...and who doesn’t. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Paul.
