Moonstar Rebellion (eBook, ePUB)
A dreamy lunar settlement for the rich and beautiful becomes a nightmare when the moon's original residents rise up from their underground lair. In the year 2040 the Deluge came. The people of Earth were forced to flee to the mountaintops. Some struggled just to survive while the rich lived happily in their lofty fortresses. Twenty years later, Edward Ash built a resort on the moon, to cater to the richest, most beautiful of the survivors. It seems like paradise to Rio Larsen and her twin brother, Dodge. But then strange things start to happen ... hallucinations, thefts, sinister secrets revealed on an old time radio broadcast … Will the twins and their family find out what's going on? And if they do, will the truth destroy their last chance for survival on the moon? This book is a script-form novel, which means it is in present tense like a film script. It also has shorter, more succinct descriptions, as a script would. The gist of the story is told with the dialogue. I love writing in the script format - it's like writing a long, fluid poem. I consider it an art form unto itself. I hope to turn most of them into films eventually, but until I can, I'm content to publish my scripts in these books. It will take the reader a minute or two to adjust to the format, then you can sail through my stories easily and quickly; fast-paced books for a busy world. I hope you like them.- Shop: buecher

Wolf Boys: Two American Teenagers and Mexico's Most Dangerous Drug Cartel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 624min
The story of two American teens recruited as killers for a Mexican cartel and their pursuit by a Mexican American detective who realizes the War on Drugs is unwinnable. What's it like to be an employee of a global drug-trafficking organization? And how does a 15-year-old American boy go from star quarterback to trained assassin, surging up the cartel corporate ladder? At first glance Gabriel Cardona is the poster-boy American teenager: great athlete, bright, handsome, and charismatic. But the streets of his border town of Laredo, Texas, are poor and dangerous, and it isn't long before Gabriel abandons his promising future for the allure of the Zetas, a drug cartel with roots in the Mexican military. His younger friend. Bart, as well as others from Gabriel's childhood join him in working for the Zetas, boosting cars and smuggling drugs, eventually catching the eye of the cartel's leadership. Meanwhile, Mexican-born detective Robert Garcia has worked hard all his life and is now struggling to raise his family in America. As violence spills over the border, Detective Garcia's pursuit of the boys and their cartel leaders puts him face to face with the urgent consequences of a war he sees as unwinnable. In Wolf Boys Dan Slater shares their stories, taking us from the Sierra Madre mountaintops to the dusty, dark alleys of Laredo, Texas, on a harrowing, often brutal journey into the heart of the Mexican drug trade. Gabriel's evolution from good-natured teenager into a feared assassin is as inevitable as Garcia's slow realization of the futile nature of his work. A nonfiction thriller, Wolf Boys depicts more than just Gabriel, Bart, and the officers who took them down. It shows, through vivid detail and rich, often moving narrative, the way in which the border itself is changing, disappearing, and posing new terrifying and yet largely unseen threats to American security. Ultimately, though, Wolf Boys is the in ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Simonelli. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/sans/007622/bk_sans_007622_sample.mp3.

For the first time anywhere, the first-person account of the planning and execution of the Bin Laden raid from a Navy Seal who confronted the terrorist mastermind and witnessed his final moments.... From the streets of Iraq to the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips in the Indian Ocean, and from the mountaintops of Afghanistan to the third floor of Osama Bin Laden's compound, operator Mark Owen of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group - commonly known as SEAL Team Six - has been a part of some of the most memorable special operations in history, as well as countless missions that never made headlines. No Easy Day puts listeners alongside Owen and the other handpicked members of the 24-man team as they train for the biggest mission of their lives.

The Man in the Blue Fez: A Birth of an Assassin Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min
The sun had begun its descent towards the western horizon and the promise of warmth was sinking with it. Gold and pink rays glancing off mountaintops spread as one over the frozen lake below. Midway up a mountain slope overlooking the lake and not too far from where the Urals trailed off into the wasteland, Pavel Rostislav lay in wait. A light wind whispered across the incline, bringing cold that found a way through his winter gear and set him shivering. He snuggled into the hollow cut from the compacted snow as far as he dared, but knew there could be no respite. He had to hold his vigil. With teeth gritted, he raised the standard issue field glasses to his eyes and scoped the fishing hole in the ice lake while trying to ignore the freezing barbs that spiked at his bones. Time pressed on and he took a moment of it to glance at the thermometer on the backpack by his side, shuddering to see the temperature had dropped to minus 50. Mist clouds would be visible to an enemy, so he expelled his breath against the chinstrap on his snowsuit, but then small ice crystals bunched up there and he exhaled in exasperation, irritation nipping at his spirit. The sun dropped below the peaks and the ice lake turned bluish grey while the sky on the eastern horizon reflected mauve tiers on snow-knuckled mountains. Snow flurries lifted from drifts nearby and snaked down into the basin, dancing like ashes blown from a dead fire. Pavel's goggles took the color down a notch further and his heart sank. All he wanted now was to get this thing done and return to camp. However, just as he began feeling that his blood might turn to an icy sludge or his body may be only moments away from paralysis, a blur on the landscape took human shape and his spirits lifted. Shrouded in a heavy arctic snowsuit, the man moved slowly yet gracefully towards the fishing pole sticking up from the ice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis Kleinman.

Cassie's Castaways (Island Women, #1) (eBook, ePUB)
When Amy Bendbowe receives a call for help from her dying mother, Cassie, she rushes from Washington's San Juan Island to Mobile, Alabama, to see her. But Cassie has other ideas. Before letting Amy visit the hospital, she wants her to sell off or give away all the stock from Cassie's secondhand store. Is Cassie trying to keep the distance that has long separated her from her daughter? Or is this her way to help Amy finally understand her? This is Book 1 in Anne L. Watson's Island Women trilogy, which includes "Cassie's Castaways," "Willow's Crystal," and "Benecia's Mirror." ///////////////////////////////////////////////// Anne L. Watson, a retired historic preservation architecture consultant, is the author of several novels, plus books on such diverse subjects as soapmaking and baking with cookie molds. Living now in Bellingham, Washington, she lived for many years in Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands -- the home base of her Island Women trilogy. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// SAMPLE Morning light slid across the mountaintops like a wash of pearl. How far away were they? Twenty miles, fifty? Drinking coffee in my living room, I watched them shine, as I did almost every dawn. Thinking of nothing but the moment, the beautiful moment. My phone rang. At this hour, either a wrong number or something important. I checked the caller ID before answering. Something important, then. "Hey, Dad. What's up?" "Hi, Honey! How's life up there in the islands?" Dad was a good guy, and he loved me. But he used casual endearments only when he wanted something, a speech habit he wasn't aware of. I turned my back on the view, sipped my coffee, and got my guard up. "Life is fine. How's life way down in Seattle?" "Good. Eliane and I went to a gallery opening the other night. You should have seen the garbage they were passing off as art. We laughed so hard on the way home, the cab driver probably thought we were drunk." Drunk on having fun in downtown Seattle sounded good to me. Eliane was smart, witty, and a damned good artist. Didn't fit the wicked stepmother mold in the least. I liked her a lot. "Say hi to Eliane for me. Anyway, what's happening?" "It's your mother. She's in the hospital. From what she says, it doesn't look good. Can you go out there and help?" "Shouldn't I talk to her first?" "She asked me to call you. I don't think she wants to talk about it that much." "How long does she want me to stay?" "More a matter of how long she has left." Oh. "Does anyone know how long that's likely to be? A week, a month?" "You know how your mother is. Name, rank, and serial number, that's about all the information she parts with." "That makes it kind of hard to plan things." "I know. Will you go? Please?" I felt cornered. But however weird my mother could be, she was not one to cry wolf. "Well, I guess," I said. Replacing the phone in its charger, I checked the mountains again, but the glow was gone. They looked cold and far away.- Shop: buecher
