And keep the earthlings from learning that aliens live among them, namely in Alienn, Arkansas. Prisoner Draeken Phoenix is also the dangerously delicious man she left behind on Alpha-Prime to start a new life on Earth. Invasion of the Alien Snatchers Riker Phoenix, the guard, has everything but the tantalizing woman who changed the course of his life. Elise Midori ran a galaxy away to escape the man she loved but could never have.

A pretty woman claims she’s his wife and loves him. He’d do anything for her. Victoria Greene is sent to find the pilot and keep him safe as he recovers. Pretending to be his wife is not a hardship.

    Borderline , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 713min
    Agatha and Anthony Award winner Nevada Barr, New York Times best-selling author of Winter Study, enthralls millions with the exploits of roving park ranger Anna Pigeon. The killings on Isle Royale have left Anna drained and haunted, her memories of her time with the wolf study group forever marred by the carnage on the island. Diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, she is on administrative leave, per her superintendent's urging. Anna wonders if the leave might not be permanent, either by her own choice or that of the National Park Service. The one bright spot in Anna's life is Paul, her husband of less than a year. Hoping the warmth and the adventure of a raft trip in Big Bend National Park will lift her spirits, Paul takes Anna to southwest Texas, where the sun is hot and the Rio Grande is running high. The sheer beauty of the Chihuahuan Desert and the power of the river work their magic-until the raft is lost in the rapids and a young college student falls overboard, resulting in an even more grisly discovery. Caught in a strainer between two boulders and more dead than alive, is a pregnant woman, hair and arms tangled in the downed branches. Instead of the soul-soothing experience they'd longed for, Anna and Paul find themselves sucked into a labyrinth of intrigue that leads from the Mexican desert to the steps of the governor's Mansion in Austin, Texas. ungekürzt.

    The Wolves at the Door: The True Story of America's Greatest Female Spy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 757min
    The remarkable story of one of WWII's greatest spies. Virginia Hall left her comfortable Baltimore roots in 1931 to follow a dream of becoming a Foreign Service Officer. After watching Hitler roll over Poland and France, she enlisted to work for the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), a secret espionage and sabotage organization. She was soon deployed to occupied France where, if captured, imprisonment and torture at the hands of the Gestapo was all but assured. Against such an ominous backdrop, Hall managed to locate drop zones for money and weapons, helped escaped POWs and downed Allied airmen flee to England, and secured safe houses for agents. And she did it all on one leg: Virginia Hall had lost her left leg before the war in a hunting accident. Soon, wanted posters appeared throughout France, offering a reward for her capture. By winter of 1942, Hall had to flee France via the only route possible: A hike on foot through the frozen Pyrnes Mountains into neutral Spain. Upon her return to England, the American espionage organization, the Office of Special Services, recruited her and sent her back to France disguised as an old peasant woman. While there, she was responsible for killing 150 German soldiers and capturing 500 others. Sabotaging communications and transportation links and directing resistance activities, her work helped change the course of the war. This is the true story of Virginia Hall. ungekürzt.

    Alien Crash at Roswell: The UFO Truth Lost in Time, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
    The most enigmatic and universally known UFO incident in history needs only one name: Roswell. Roswell will never fade as it represents the true ushering in of the UFO phenomenon for time immemorial. Dwarfing Orson Wells' War of the Worlds in national and then international hysteria, Roswell was an unparalleled turning point for all of mankind because for the first time almost every man, woman, and child on earth was faced with the reality that we are not alone in the universe. In early July 1947, Major Jesse Marcel, commander of the most technologically advanced bomb group in the world, discovered the crash site of a downed UFO in the New Mexico desert following a harrowing and record-breaking storm. Out of honor and duty to his country, Major Marcel was to become the scapegoat for the largest disinformation cover-up effort in world history. What he saw would be a secret he would keep for many years - knowledge about the crash itself and the ensuing battle to keep the incident covered-up by government and military factions. Roswell would be forever entwined in not just Major Marcel's life but that of his children and grandchildren for generations to come. Today, Jesse Marcel III, the grandson of Major Jesse Marcel, tells his grandfather’s story and reveals what has continued to haunt his family for over 60 years - the legacy of Roswell. Join Philip Coppens, star of the History Channel's Ancient Aliens series in this untold and unprecedented expose on the Roswell Incident. Language: English.

    The Escape Artists: A Band of Daredevil Pilots and the Greatest Prison Break of the Great War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
    Neal Bascomb, a New York Times best-selling author, delivers the spellbinding story of the downed Allied airmen who masterminded the remarkably courageous - and ingenious - breakout from Germany's most devilish POW camp.In the winter trenches and flak-filled skies of World War I, soldiers and pilots alike might avoid death only to find themselves imprisoned in Germany's archipelago of POW camps, often in abominable conditions. The most infamous was Holzminden, a landlocked Alcatraz of sorts that housed the most troublesome, escape-prone prisoners. Its commandant was a boorish, hate-filled tyrant named Karl Niemeyer, who swore that none should ever leave. Desperate to break out of "Hellminden" and return to the fight, a group of Allied prisoners led by ace pilot (and former Army sapper) David Gray hatch an elaborate escape plan. Their plot demands a risky feat of engineering as well as a bevy of disguises, forged documents, fake walls, and steely resolve. Once beyond the watch towers and round-the-clock patrols, Gray and almost a dozen of his half-starved fellow prisoners must then make a heroic 150-mile dash through enemy-occupied territory toward free Holland. Drawing on never-before-seen memoirs and letters, Neal Bascomb brings this narrative to cinematic life amid the twilight of the British Empire and the darkest, most savage hours of the fight against Germany. At turns tragic, funny, inspirational, and nail-bitingly suspenseful, this is the little-known story of the biggest POW breakout of the Great War. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: L. J.

    Moondrop to Gascony , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 581min
    On a cold, moonlit night in January 1944, Anne-Marie Walters, just 20 years old, parachuted into southwest France to work with the Resistance in preparation for the long-awaited Allied invasion. The daughter of a British father and a French mother, she was to act as a courier for George Starr, head of the "Wheelwright" circuit of the Special Operations Executive. Over the next seven months, Walters crisscrossed the region, carrying messages, delivering explosives, arranging the escape of downed airmen, and receiving parachute drops of arms and personnel in the dead of night - living in constant fear of capture and torture by the Gestapo. Then, on the very eve of liberation, she was sent off on foot over the Pyrenees to Spain, carrying urgent dispatches for London. Anne-Marie Walters wrote Moondrop to Gascony immediately after the war, while the events were still vivid in her mind. It is a tale of high adventure, comradeship and kindness, of betrayals and appalling atrocities, and of the often unremarked courage of many ordinary French men and women who risked their lives to help drive German armies from French soil. And through it all shines her quiet courage, her keen sense of humor, and, above all, her pure zest for life. For this new edition, David Hewson, a former regular-army officer interested in military history, adds biographical details for the main characters, identifies the real people behind the code names, and provides background information. He also tells about Anne-Marie Walters' early life and what happened to her in the postwar years. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicola Barber.

    Bent Over by Billy: Giving Him My First Anal Experience , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min, (USK 18)
    The 20-year reunion was coming up, and that meant I'd have to see Billy. I was afraid to. For years he'd been there for me, and even though I knew he loved me, I'd used him and kept him a friend. Now, 20 years later, I had a string of bad relationships, while he'd grown up to be an incredible father and a very wealthy man. He was a widow now, which was a hell of a lot better than having multiple ex-husbands like me. I felt horrible but things didn't happen as I thought they would. I met him at his hotel, just intending to apologize. Instead, I gave him everything I'd denied him and something I'd never given anyone before, anal sex! Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity and includes deepthroat, semen swallowing, explicit sex, first anal sex, and more. Only mature adults who won't find that offensive should listen to this story. Here is a preview: I arrived just as he was escorting two men in suits away. He smiled at me and gestured to enter and then asked, "Can I get you a drink?" There was no way I could handle another drink when I'd finished five good sized glasses of wine in an hour. "Yes, please," I said. "Red wine, please." He poured my drink and I watched him as he brought it back to me. He gestured to the couch but instead I downed the glass in one gulp. I took a deep breath. "You deserved me," I said. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ruby Rivers. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/078344/bk_acx0_078344_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Silent Service in World War II: The Story of the U.S. Navy Submarine Force in the Words of the Men Who Lived It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 604min
    When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the US Navy had a total of 111 submarines. However, this fleet was not nearly as impressive as the number suggests. It was mostly a collection of aging boats from the late teens and early twenties, with only a few of the newer, more modern Gato-class boats. Fortunately, with the war in Europe was already two years old and friction with Japan ever increasing, help from what would become known as the Silent Service in the Pacific was on the way: there were 73 of the new fleet submarines under construction.  The Silent Service in World War II tells the story of America's intrepid underwater warriors in the words of the men who lived the war in the Pacific against Japan. The enemy had already begun to deploy advanced boats, but the U.S. was soon able to match them. By 1943, the new Gato-class boats were making a difference, carrying the war not just to the Japanese Imperial Navy but to the vital merchant fleet that carried the vast array of materiel needed to keep the land of the Rising Sun afloat. As the war progressed, American success in the Solomons, starting with Guadalcanal, began to constrict the Japanese sea lanes, and operating singly or in wolfpacks, they were able to press their attacks on convoys operating beyond the range of our airpower, making daring forays even into the home waters of Japan itself in the quest for ever more elusive targets. Also taking on Japanese warships, as well as rescuing downed airmen (such as the grateful first President Bush), US submarines made an enormous contribution to our war against Japan. ungekürzt.
