  There Be Dragons: The Word, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 974min

  When fellow student John Foremile turns up at his flat on a rain-sodden winter’s night, former Merchant Navy Captain Rex Slingsby thinks he’s in for just another boozy night down the pub. John, however, has come laden with a package of ancient-looking manuscripts, and Rex is soon engrossed in reading an outlandish tale of a powerful, benevolent race of Dragons and of the human wizards hell-bent on destroying them. Incredulous at first, the two friends quickly find themselves embroiled in an epic quest to rescue a fertile dragon’s egg, hidden over a thousand years before in a remote cave by its desperate mother. Pitted against them is a motley crew of 12-foot Trolls, hellish hounds, and power-crazed Mafioso wizards, all of whom, it seems, will stop at nothing to bring Rex and John’s quest to a premature and deadly end. There Be Dragons, book one of The Word trilogy, introduces a brilliantly imagined and often disconcerting universe, sweeping listeners breathlessly along from cosy bachelor pads to desolate Welsh mountainsides; from state-of-the-art yachts to mind boggling planets thousands of light years away. ungekürzt.

  Catalytic Diplomacy: Russia, China, North Korea and Iran , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 743min

  Having known and observed Jeremy for almost half a century, I have no doubt that his influence has been as great as that of all but the most senior figures in government. In his second book, Jeremy continues the recounting of his life's work, which he began in his early volume, Every Man Should Try: Adventures of a Public Interest Activist. Jeremy has devoted his life to conflict resolution and to ending the nuclear arms race. He has, at the same time, gotten involved constructively in a surprising range of interesting issues involving human rights and foreign policy. The conflicts that Jeremy sought to mitigate in the second work - US-Russian nuclear relations, China's relation with Taiwan, North Korea's relations with its neighbors, and U.S.-Iranian relations - have all been affected for the better by Jeremy's efforts. Readers less familiar with international diplomacy may be surprised and perhaps even incredulous that a private citizen can have such an impact on the thinking and behavior of governments. - From the preface by Morton H. Halperin, Director of the Policy Planning Staff, Department of State (1998-2001) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roberto Scarlato.

  Christmas is the season of the heart, and number one New York Times best-selling author Debbie Macomber is here to warm yours with a delightful holiday novel of first impressions and second chances. Merry Knight is pretty busy these days. She's taking care of her family, baking cookies, decorating for the holidays, and hoping to stay out of the crosshairs of her stressed and by-the-book boss at the consulting firm where she temps. Her own social life is the last thing she has in mind, much less a man. Without her knowledge, Merry's well-meaning mom and brother create an online dating profile for her - minus her photo - and the matches start rolling in. Initially, Merry is incredulous, but she reluctantly decides to give it a whirl. Soon, Merry finds herself chatting with a charming stranger, a man with similar interests and an unmistakably kind soul. Their online exchanges become the brightest part of her day. But meeting face-to-face is altogether different, and her special friend is the last person Merry expects - or desires. Still, sometimes hearts can see what our eyes cannot. In this satisfying seasonal tale, unanticipated love is only a click away. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Em Eldridge.

  The Lion of Venice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 414min

  This magical new audiobook by Governor General and Trillium Prize nominee Mark Frutkin, set in 13th century Venice and Cathay, is a dazzling fresco of shimmering language, brimming with golden tableaus of arid deserts and cobblestone alleys, the wafting scent of cardamom and the mystical trill of a praying friar. It is the story of Marco Polo, as he is about to set sail on an arduous and lengthy pilgrimage with his father, uncle, and faithful guide across the sun-soaked silk route - the rich path of the carpet-makers and the black seas of the Indian Ocean. Doggedly pursued by a vengeful assassin of the Venetian Doge, Marco is eager to arrive in the promised land of the mighty Kublai Khan and bask in the safety offered by his royal legions. But while enjoying the myths of the new land, Polo is haunted by the recurring appearance of a winged lion, lurking behind his dreams and roaming the palace of his heart. Even upon his return to Venice, a naval battle, and capture by their rival Genoa - even as he languishes in an enemy jail cell recounting his trials to an incredulous inmate - there is always the heartbeat of the lion. ungekürzt.

  Nordic Aliens and the Amazon Queens: Giant Warrior Women Who Ruled the World (Through the Wormhole, Book 6) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 492min

  In a remote age of human history, women ruled kingdoms so vast that you might even say that women ruled the world. These giant warrior women were born of the gods, and in battle, one woman fought as fiercely as 10 men. They led armies into war, built cities, roads, canals, bridges, and irrigation systems. Amazons established botanical gardens with freshwater fountains along major roadways to provide food and water for weary travelers. Kings wanted to beget sons by the Amazons, so they kidnapped and enslaved these women, and if husbands existed, they were summarily killed. Soldiers who “caught” an Amazon and gifted her to a king were rewarded handsomely. It’s no wonder that Amazons formed women-only colonies in which men were forbidden to live. No more would men steal these giant women as trophies or force them into marriage. Amazon accomplishments have often been credited to men, presumably by the same historians who were so incredulous as to deem the “extraordinary” and “unnatural” exploits of the Amazons “impossible to believe” as one described it. And yet, Amazon colonies spanned three-quarters of the world. They were the Rakshasi demons of India, the Candace queens of Africa, the Gorgons of Greek legend, the white-haired queens and yellow-haired giants of America, the genii of Chinese legend, and one was born of a mermaid in a flying egg. All carried the genes of Nordic extraterrestrials whom we once worshipped as gods. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter L. Delloro.

  The Trials of White Boy Rick , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 127min

  It was the spring of 1987, and crack cocaine had turned whole swaths of Detroit into veritable combat zones. The city thought it had seen everything - until one evening that May, when the police arrested a 17-year-old kid named Rick Wershe. They called him White Boy Rick. In a city known for its fraught racial divide, Wershe had somehow joined the ranks of the drug kingpins on the predominantly black East Side before he was old enough to shave. He flew in kilos of cocaine from Miami and drove a white Jeep with THE SNOWMAN emblazoned across the back. An incredulous judge once compared him to the gangster "Baby Face" Nelson. He seemed more an urban legend than a real person - and then his story got even stranger. Years later, while he was in prison for cocaine possession, Wershe claimed he had been working with the FBI since he was 14. Was one of Detroit’s most notorious criminals also one of the feds’ most valuable informants in the city? Journalist Evan Hughes set out to untangle fact from fiction in Wershe’s improbable story, tracking down the dealers, cops, and federal agents who shared the streets with him and eventually meeting Wershe himself at the rural Michigan prison where he remains incarcerated. The Trials of White Boy Rick is a gripping true-crime saga of hidden motives and betrayed trust - and reveals never-before-reported information suggesting why Wershe is still behind bars. ungekürzt.
