Dark Protector , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 441min
From the moment I saw her through the window of her flower shop, something other than darkness took root inside me. Charlie shone like a beacon in a world that had long since lost any light. But she was never meant for me, a man that killed without remorse and collected bounties drenched in blood. I thought staying away would keep her safe, would shield her from me. I was wrong. Danger followed in my wake like death at a slaughter house. I protected her from the threats that circled like black buzzards, kept her safe with kill after kill. But everything comes with a price, especially second chances for a man like me. Killing for her was easy. It was living for her that turned out to be the hard part. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Hunting Season, Hörbuch, Digital, 366min
When Anna answers a call to historic Mt. Locust, once a producing plantation and inn on Mississippi's Natchez Trace Parkway and now a tourist spot, the last thing she expects to encounter is murder. But the man Anna finds in the stand's old bedroom is no tourist in distress. He's nearly naked, and very dead, his body bearing marks consistent with an S & M ritual gone awry. On a writing table nearby is an open Bible, ominous passages circled in red.It seems the deceased is the brother of Raymond Barnette, local undertaker and a candidate for sheriff, who wants to keep any hint of kinkiness out of the minds of the God-fearing populace. Ray may be hiding a house full of secrets in the old family homestead, but before Anna can start her investigation, she's waylaid by malevolent poachers, peevish coworkers, and a suddenly turbulent romantic life. And when hidden agendas and old allegiances are revealed, it's suddenly Anna's life on the line. Language: English. Narrator: Joyce Bean.

A Long Way from Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
The true story of two-year-old Anna, abandoned by her natural parents, left alone in a neglected orphanage. Elaine and Ian had travelled halfway round the world to adopt little Anna. She couldn't have been more wanted, loved and cherished. So why was she now in foster care and living with me? It didn't make sense. Until I learned what had happened... Dressed only in nappies and ragged T-shirts, the children were incarcerated in their cots. Their large eyes stared out blankly from emaciated faces. Some were obviously disabled, others not, but all were badly undernourished. Flies circled around the broken ceiling fans and buzzed against the grids covering the windows. The only toys were a few balls and a handful of building bricks, but no child played with them. The silence was deafening and unnatural. Not one of the 30 or so infants cried, let alone spoke. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denica Fairman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hcuk/003282/bk_hcuk_003282_sample.mp3.

Oath Breaker: Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 402min
Torak circled the fire and Thiazzi came after him: slowly, cracking his whip, playing with his prey as a lynx plays with a lemming. Torak was exhausted. He wasn't going to last much longer. When he was outcast, Torak was the hunted one. Nine moons later he becomes the hunter, when he vows to avenge the killing of one of his closest friends. Racked by guilt and grief, he follows the killer into the Deep Forest, where the World Spirit stalks the hidden valleys as a tall man with the antlers of a stag. But there is a rottenness at the heart of the Forest, for its clans have succumbed to the lies of the Soul-Eaters. Here Torak must face fire, war, and overwhelming evil. The fifth book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series, Oath Breaker is a story about keeping promises and the true cost of vengeance. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ian McKellen.

Sex Wrestler II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min, (USK 18)
A Jason Pinaster Wrestling Story Receiving a call from a pretty woman at the crack of dawn is a rather excellent way to start the morning. Actually "pretty" doesn’t properly describe Adira; gorgeous and sexy is more accurate. And the fact that the sexy fetish wrestler who’d helped launch my journalistic career needed to see me right away was just icing on the cake. The day got even better when catching Adira’s blackmailer meant that I’d have to wrestle her again. We quickly reserved the gym and set up a sting for the blackmailer. As soon as he tried to retrieve the footage of Adira and I wrestling, we’d nab him! Adira’s fiery red hair was tied in a ponytail which let it flow over her shoulder. As we circled, her ample bosom moved lazily under her peach sports bra, teasing a response from my fingers. Her abs rippled down her tummy and under the top of her purple tights. As best I could tell, she wasn’t wearing panties under the thin material. I shot in and my hands touched, and her hands touched and our bodies intertwined. For a moment, just a moment, I forgot to defend myself and Adira.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pierre Robert.

Sit Down and Cheer: A History of Sport on TV , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 593min
Television and sport is the ultimate marriage of convenience. The two circled each other warily for a while - sport anxious the sofa-bound might spurn the live product, TV reluctant in a limited channel world to hand over too much screen time to flannelled fools and muddied oafs. But they got together, and stayed together, for the sake of the money, and now you cannot imagine one without the other. They are indivisible, like an old couple sitting in a teashop finishing each other's sentences, and there is little doubt which is the dominant partner. You have only to think of the recent sports stars who have left their muddy fields to don sequins, grab partners and tango their way across the stage in ultimate Saturday night television style, to see how far the two have come on their journey together. In Sit Down and Cheer, Martin Kelner traces the development of this relationship from its humble origins in the 1960 Olympics, by way of the first-ever Match of the Day in 1964, through to the financial impact of Sky, right up to the high-tech gadgetry of our present-day viewing. Insightful and very funny, this is an entertaining exploration of two major national pastimes and not to be missed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Martin Kelner.
