    A Foreign Country , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 570min
    Six weeks before she is due to take up her position as the first female head of MI6, Amelia Levene vanishes without a trace. Her disappearance is the gravest crisis MI6 has faced for more than a decade. There has been no ransom demand, no word from foreign intelligence services, and no hint of a defection. Should news of Levene’s disappearance leak out, the consequences would be catastrophic. But for disgraced MI6 officer Thomas Kell, the crisis offers a chance for redemption. He is approached by his former employers and ordered to find her. Kell’s search takes him first to France, then North Africa, where he discovers an extraordinary secret hidden deep in Levene’s past. It is a secret that could fatally compromise Britain’s national security - and for which Kell could pay with his life. This is another first-rate intelligent thriller which will cement Cumming's reputation as one of the most engaging British novelists writing today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jot Davies.

    Turncoat: Benedict Arnold and the Crisis of American Liberty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1030min
    General Benedict Arnold's failed attempt to betray the fortress of West Point to the British in 1780 stands as one of the most infamous episodes in American history. In the light of a shining record of bravery and unquestioned commitment to the Revolution, Arnold's defection came as an appalling shock. Contemporaries believed he had been corrupted by greed; historians have theorized that he had come to resent the lack of recognition for his merits and sacrifices. In this provocative book, Stephen Brumwell challenges such interpretations and draws on unexplored archives to reveal other crucial factors that illuminate Arnold's abandonment of the revolutionary cause he once championed. This work traces Arnold's journey from enthusiastic support of American independence to his spectacularly traitorous acts and narrow escape. Brumwell's research leads to an unexpected conclusion: Arnold's mystifying betrayal was driven by a staunch conviction that America's best interests would be served by halting the bloodshed and reuniting the fractured British Empire. ungekürzt.

    The Quantum Thief , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 606min
    The Quantum Thief is a dazzling hard SF novel set in the solar system of the far future - a heist novel peopled by bizarre post-humans but powered by very human motives of betrayal, revenge and jealousy. It is a stunning debut. Jean le Flambeur is a post-human criminal, mind burglar, confidence artist and trickster. His origins are shrouded in mystery, but his exploits are known throughout the Heterarchy - from breaking into the vast Zeusbrains of the Inner System to steal their thoughts, to stealing rare Earth antiques from the aristocrats of the Moving Cities of Mars. Except that Jean made one mistake. Now he is condemned to play endless variations of a game-theoretic riddle in the vast virtual jail of the Axelrod Archons - the Dilemma Prison - against countless copies of himself. Jean's routine of death, defection and cooperation is upset by the arrival of Mieli and her spidership, Perhonen. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rupert Degas.

    Defector: Phantom Air Combat Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 673min
    Colonel Yuri Andrenev, a respected test pilot, is trusted to evaluate the latest Soviet fighter, the Sukhoi Su27 "Flanker", from a secret test facility near Moscow. Surely he is above suspicion. With thoughts of defection in his mind, and flying close to the inner German border, could he be tempted to make a daring escape across the most heavily defended airspace in the world? A flight test against a MiG fighter begins a sequence of events that forces his hand, and after an unexpected air-to-air encounter he crosses the border with the help of British Phantom crews. How will Western intelligence use this unexpected windfall? Are Soviet efforts to recover the advanced fighter as devious as they seem, or could more-sinister motives be in play? Defector is a pacy thriller that reflects the intrigue of the Cold War. It takes you into the cockpit of the Phantom fighter jet with the realism that can only come from an author who has flown operationally in the NATO Central Region. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Evolution of Periodization: The Tudor Bompa Story
    This is the firsthand account of how Tudor Bompa, the creator of the periodization training method, became a sports science legend. From his early years and experience with rowing, defection from communism and struggling to learn English, earning a PhD in biomechanics, and becoming a professor at the University of Toronto, to the conceptualization of periodization, Dr. Bompa details his journey and how his training methodology-periodization-evolved into the greatest method in sports science training of the 20th century.Dr. Bompa recounts how he used periodization to effectively train several Olympic athlete legends on their paths to victory and underscores how periodization, even today, is often misunderstood, inaccurately portrayed, and ineffectively used.Fred Koch, a close confidante of Dr. Bompa, contributes a section to the book, describing his journey to make periodization available to the masses and how its methodology is used to train athletes and bodybuilders, ultimately modernizing the periodization training method.This autobiography fills in the gaps between what has been written and what has occurred. It is a riveting account of the man behind periodization and how this training method evolved and became the most widely used methodology of sports training in history-still relevant today.
