    “We have lingered in the chambers of the sea, by sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown, till human voices wake us, and we drown.” After parting ways with her troubled mermaid tribe, Luce just wants to live peacefully on her own. But her tranquility doesn’t last long: She receives news that the tribe is on the verge of collapse and desperately needs her leadership. The tribe’s cruel queen wants Luce dead. Dorian, the boy Luce broke mermaid law to save, is determined to make her pay for her part in the murder of his family. And while the mermaids cling to the idea that humans never suspect their existence, there are suddenly ominous signs to the contrary. But when Luce and Dorian meet, they start to wonder if love can overpower the hatred they know they should feel for each other. Luce’s new friendship with an ancient renegade mermaid gives her hope that her kind might someday change their murderous ways. But can Luce fulfill her rightful role as queen of the mermaids without sacrificing her forbidden romance with Dorian?

    Fatal Dive: Solving the World War II Mystery of the USS Grunion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 405min
    No radio distress call ever crackled from the submarine USS Grunion. In 1942, under the fog of World War II, the vessel simply vanished without a trace. For nearly sixty-five years, only a dead silence lingered regarding the fate of the sub and its seventy-man crew—until now. Here author Peter F. Stevens reveals the incredible true story of the search for and discovery of the Grunion—as well as the navy’s shocking and willful cover-up of the submarine’s baffling disappearance. The Grunion was discovered in 2006 after a decades-long search by the Abele brothers, whose father commanded the submarine and met his untimely death aboard it, but one question remained: what sank the USS Grunion? Now, for the first time ever, Fatal Dive reveals the answer: one of the Grunion’s own missiles. The navy knowingly sent the Grunion out with faulty torpedoes, and Fatal Dive reveals damning and never-before-published government documents that provide irrefutable evidence of its shameful cover-up. Intriguing and explosive, Fatal Dive finally lays to rest one of World War II’s greatest mysteries. Peter F. Stevens, news and features editor of the Boston Irish Reporter, is a veteran journalist with a specialty in historical writing. His work is syndicated by the New York Times and has been published in dozens of magazines and newspapers. He is also a two-time winner of the International Regional Magazine Association’s Gold Medal for Feature Writing and the award-winning author of The Voyage of the Catalpa.

    Rise of The Berlin Wall: History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min
    Learn about the Rise of the Berlin Wall with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. The Berlin Wall served as a monumental physical reminder of the differences in government between East and West Germany. After World War Two, there was a division of Germany between the Western Allied forces of the US, Britain and France and the Soviet Union in the East. Each assumed responsibility for a portion of Germany to help it back on its feet after the war. No one thought the separation would last for more than a year. Yet it lingered for the next four-and-a-half decades. The tension which sparked the construction of the Berlin Wall occurred soon after World War Two ended. After the war, Germany was divided up into four zones, with the British, the Americans, the French and the Soviet Union each responsible for running a zone. The German capital of Berlin, although in the Soviet zone of Germany, was likewise divided into four sectors. As firm allies, the US, Britain and France worked closely with each other to bring about changes to their zones and sectors in Germany.

    Balloonacy: Balloon Fetish : Humorous Fetishes, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min, (USK 18)
    Lucy turned her phone on as she walked toward her car. She had turned off her phone, not because Margaret had asked her too, but she knew that Matthew would have nothing better to do all day than bother with texts about the store. She dropped herself into the driver’s seat as the phone connected to the network. She had 20 missed texts from Matthew.Hey! Great first day, Lucy messaged ignoring the multitudes of balloon related questions that Matthew had.Hey haven’t heard from you all day, Matthew responded.I was busy learning my new job, Lucy replied without guilt. To her, Matthew was the guy she talked to online, not her boyfriend. She didn’t have the time to let him get too close or too familiar if she wanted to keep it that way.I know. I was just excited to hear about what it was like for you.It was certainly a new experience for me. I have been to the store many times before, but never for so long. There were some periods where I really wanted to touch the full balloons that were tantalizingly in reach.I bet.Driving home now. Call me.Lucy started the car and made her way through the parking lot. She thought of Larry still stuffed in her sock. After lunch the wet feeling of a washed Larry in her sock lingered longer than she would have liked. The feeling kept reminding her of what she had done, and that made her want to grab a handful of floating balloons and take them into the back with her. The chime of Matthew’s call refocused her attention.“Hello. Tell me what questions you have about the store.” Lucy said jumping the gun since more than half of Matthew’s texts had been questions.“Did you have to fill any balloons today?” Matthew asked breathily. ungekürzt.

    Older Man & Younger Woman Bundle: Shy Babysitter, Knowledgeable Professor, and Temporary Girlfriend , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 118min, (USK 18)
    Three sexy short stories from Beverly Mackallan, featuring older men and younger women pairings. Shy Babysitter Morgan is a college freshman whose life consists of studying and babysitting a sweet little boy. Elliot is the boy's successful father, who has the sort of body that's forged by regular workouts. He's more than happy to do these workouts mostly naked, while Morgan shyly sneaks glances. When Morgan's heart is broken by her high school sweetheart, Elliot is there to comfort her - but the moment she's in those strong arms, the unspoken tension that's lingered between them comes to the surface, and Morgan gets to experience what it's like to be in the bed of a gentle, but experienced man. Knowledgeable Professor Clara knows she should've worked a little harder, and maybe spent less time fantasizing about her favorite professor in the middle of his class, but she didn't. Now she's willing to do anything to make the grade - and she especially wants to do Professor Hollis. However, Professor Hollis is about to make it clear that he won't be throwing her over his desk, having his way, then giving her that sought after passing grade. But he will help her finish her paper. If something happens after they're done, well, let's just call that extra credit. Temporary Girlfriend Zoe knew the moment that frazzled assistant gave her two grand, that it was all too good to be true. She just had to go to a party and play the charming, flirtatious girlfriend of the ultra-rich Landon Walsted, right? Wrong. What the assistant failed to mention was that her charisma was meant to make up for her fake boyfriend's lack of any. Zoe was hired to flirt with a womanizing potential business partner, but when Landon starts getting jealous that the old man is taking the bait, tempers flare between him and Zoe. ungekürzt.

    Savage Harvest: A Tale of Cannibals, Colonialism, and Michael Rockefeller's Tragic Quest for Primitive Art , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 558min
    The mysterious disappearance of Michael Rockefeller in remote New Guinea in 1961 has kept the world, and even Michael's powerful, influential family, guessing for years. Now, Carl Hoffman uncovers startling new evidence that finally tells the full, astonishing story. On November 21, 1961, Michael C. Rockefeller, the 23-year-old son of New York governor Nelson Rockefeller, vanished off the coast of southwest New Guinea when his catamaran capsized while crossing a turbulent river mouth. He was on an expedition to collect art for the Museum of Primitive Art, which his father had founded in 1957, and his expedition partner - who stayed with the boat and was later rescued - shared Michael's final words as he swam for help: "I think I can make it." Despite exhaustive searches, no trace of Rockefeller was ever found. Soon after his disappearance, rumors surfaced that he'd been killed and ceremonially eaten by the local Asmat - a native tribe of warriors whose complex culture was built around sacred, reciprocal violence, head hunting, and ritual cannibalism. The Dutch government and the Rockefeller family denied the story, and Michael's death was officially ruled a drowning. Yet doubts lingered. Sensational rumors and stories circulated, fueling speculation and intrigue for decades. The real story has long waited to be told - until now. Retracing Rockefeller's steps, award-winning journalist Carl Hoffman traveled to the jungles of New Guinea, immersing himself in a world of headhunters and cannibals, secret spirits and customs, and getting to know generations of Asmat. Through exhaustive archival research, he uncovered never-before-seen original documents and located witnesses willing to speak publically after 50 years. In Savage Harvest he finally solves this decades-old mystery and illuminates a culture transformed by years of colonial rule, whose people continue to be shaped by ancient customs and lore.

    The Trials of Nina McCall: Sex, Surveillance, and the Decades-Long Government Plan to Imprison "Promiscuous" Women , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 865min
    The nearly forgotten story of the American Plan, a government program to regulate women's bodies and sexuality - and how they fought back - told through the lens of one of its survivors.“A consistently surprising page-turner...a brilliant study of the way social anxieties have historically congealed in state control over women’s bodies and behavior.” (New York Times Book Review)Nina McCall was one of many women unfairly imprisoned by the United States government throughout the 20th century. Tens, probably hundreds, of thousands of women and girls were locked up - usually without due process - simply because officials suspected these women were prostitutes, carrying STIs, or just "promiscuous." This discriminatory program, dubbed the "American Plan", lasted from the 1910s into the 1950s, implicating a number of luminaries, including Eleanor Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller Jr., Earl Warren, and even Eliot Ness, while laying the foundation for the modern system of women's prisons. In some places, vestiges of the Plan lingered into the 1960s and 1970s, and the laws that undergirded it remain on the books to this day. Nina McCall's story provides crucial insight into the lives of countless other women incarcerated under the American Plan. Stern demonstrates the pain and shame felt by these women and details the multitude of mortifications they endured, both during and after their internment. Yet thousands of incarcerated women rioted, fought back against their oppressors, or burned their detention facilities to the ground; they jumped out of windows or leapt from moving trains or scaled barbed-wire fences in order to escape. And, as Nina McCall did, they sued their captors. In an age of renewed activism surrounding harassment, health care, prisons, women's rights, and the power of the state, this virtually lost chapter of our history is vital listening. ungekürzt.
