    Glimmer and Other Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 148min
    A riveting compilation of surreal, supernatural and mysterious tales. Seven compelling stories of obsession, loss, redemption and hope are brought together in this unsettling and original anthology. From ethereal speculation to rekindling forgotten love, these beautifully crafted tales explore human nature in all its diversity. Sometimes disturbing, sometimes inspirational, they all have a metaphorical richness that will take you into an uncanny world that straddles the line between the real and the imagined. "Scarecrow": The rain had stopped and the sky was clear. The moon shone bright and made drops of water that clung onto the cobwebs shimmer like diamonds. To Katy they looked like necklaces left out to dry by ghosts. "Daub": The nightlight on the bedside table cast elongated shadows across the floor. The dark lines crawled along the skirting boards and up the walls like dirty fingers groping for something clean. "Rousseau's Suburban Jungle": Esther drew a tree with bright green leaves that curled up and around the canvas snake-like and cruel. She gave it a head, red eyes and ivory fangs, its mouth open, ready to bite anyone who came too close. If you enjoy authors such as Haruki Murakami, Angela Carter, H.P. Lovecraft and M.R. James, then this anthology is for you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicola McDonagh. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/073043/bk_acx0_073043_sample.mp3.

One day in deep despair O'livet crawled out of the pit of hell and stood at the edge of the chasm that separated them from heaven. She fell to her knees and dared to pray to be shown the path to redemption. A vision flashed across the sky before her of a young man with jet-black hair and onyx eyes. The wind whispered his name.

    Children of the Great Reckoning: Firewall, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 445min
    Welcome to a world controlled by the great spirit and science Margas, a world that has crawled out of years of devastating viral plagues only to find that the immuno-nanotech sentinels meant to protect and enhance a whole generation of children are rising from within to become an even greater threat. Warped at the genetic level to mimic characters of a sophisticated life-support game, the Children of the Reckoning must struggle against the artificial intelligence reaching for their minds through their own bodies and face the stigma of "otherness" in a world of deadly political intrigue and strict social controls. For monk Ianto Tobali, his gift from the time of the Great Reckoning is fast becoming a sought-after commodity in the silent war against the game's artificial intelligence, Nuress, and domination of both realities. Because he is the only child of god who can ride the nanotech links to break things, he is being manipulated to stand as a living firewall between the worlds of humanity and the game. But even his tormentors underestimate the bond created between him and the one living mind at play in the game, the consciousness of a young man named Samu'el Stelle. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Tide of the Mermaid Tears , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 368min
    She took two more steps and paused - squeezed her eyes tightly shut - and Ember gasped as she looked forward up the shore to see a man struggling in the water. He was coughing - spitting water from his mouth as he crawled from the water and onto the sand. As he collapsed face-down on the shore, Ember lifted her skirt and ran toward the man, dropping to her knees beside him. "Sir?" she cried, nudging one broad shoulder. The man was stripped of his shirt - dressed only in a pair of trousers - no shoes... Ember shook her head, rolling her eyes at her own foolishness. "Sir?" she called again, nudging his broad shoulder once more. The man lay on his stomach - his face turned away from her. "Are you dead, sir?" she asked. Placing a hand to his back, she sighed with relief as she felt he yet breathed. "Sir?" she said, clambering over the man's broad torso. The man coughed. His eyes opened - his deep blue eyes, so shaded by thick, wet lashes that Ember wondered how it was he could see beyond them. "Sir?" Ember ventured. He coughed, asking, "Where am I?" "On the seashore, sir," Ember answered. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marcia Lynn McClure. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/049913/bk_acx0_049913_sample.mp3.

    Day and Knight , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 442min
    As former NSA, Dayton "Day" Ingram has national security chops and now works as a technical analyst for Scorpion. He longs for fieldwork and scuttling an attack gives him his chance. He’s smart, multilingual, and a technological wizard. But his opportunity comes with a hitch. His partner, Knighton, "Knight", is a real mystery. Despite countless hours of research, Day can find nothing on the agent including his first name. A former Marine, Knight crawled into a bottle after losing his family. After drying out, he’s offered one last chance: along with Day, to stop a terrorist threat from the Yucatan. To get there without drawing suspicion, Day and Knight board a gay cruise, where the deeply closeted Day and equally closeted Knight must pose as a couple. Tensions run high as Knight communicates very little, and Day bristles at Knight’s heavy-handed need for control. But after drinking too much, Day and Knight wake up in bed together. As they near their destination, they must infiltrate the terrorist camp and neutralize a plot aimed at America's technological infrastructure. If they hope to have a life after the mission, one that might include each other, they must learn to trust and rely on each other. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew McFerrin.

    Warrior Soul: The Memoir of a Navy SEAL , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 892min
    Since the first navy frogmen crawled onto the beaches of Normandy, no SEAL has ever surrendered, writes Chuck Pfarrer. "No SEAL has ever been captured, and not one teammate or body has ever been left in the field. This legacy of valor is unmatched in modern warfare." Warrior Soul is a book about the warrior spirit, and it takes the listener all over the world. Former Navy SEAL Chuck Pfarrer recounts some of his most dangerous assignments: On a clandestine reconnaissance mission on the Mosquito Coast, his recon team plays a deadly game of cat and mouse with a Nicaraguan patrol boat. Cut off on the streets of Beirut, the author’s SEAL detachment must battle snipers on the Green Line. In the mid-Atlantic, Pfarrer’s unit attempts to retrieve - or destroy - the booster section of a Trident ballistic missile before it can be recovered by a Russian spy trawler. On a runway in Sicily, his assault element surrounds an Egyptian airliner carrying the Achille Lauro hijackers. These are only a few of the riveting stories of combat patrol, reconnaissance missions, counter-terrorist operations, tragedies, and victories in Warrior Soul that illustrate the SEAL maxim "The person who will not be defeated cannot be defeated." ungekürzt.

    One Against Many: Deklan Falls, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 534min
    Deklan Falls is a broken man in a corrupt city. Once he was a cop in Oldtowne, a small city in eastern Ohio that most people don’t know about, and those who live there wish they could forget. Then he became a corrupt cop. Then he became a crusader private eye, and then, when his world blew apart, he crawled into a bottle to die. Then, one day, a filmmaker walks into his office because Deklan can be bought cheap. The documentary filmmaker wants to find the star of a famous adult film from the late 70s who vanished. The film was financed by the mob, made in Oldtowne, and is one of the biggest mysteries in the adult film industry. If Deklan can find out what happened to Faline Forest, star of the world-famous film The Cheerleader, he’ll get a million dollars. That’s enough to get cleaned up, but it means possibly facing off against the mob that rules Oldtowne. He’s been warned twice about that. But maybe, just maybe, if he can figure out what happened to Faline, he can redeem himself and maybe, just maybe, he can fix Oldtowne, too. One broken man in a corrupt city. One very cold missing persons case. One shot at redemption. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Sherwood. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/017041/bk_acx0_017041_sample.mp3.
