You don't know what hell is until you try to get out of it....Luke Hawthorn's world is crumbling around him. After his mother, an NCIS (National Criminal Intelligence Service) operative is killed in a mysterious house fire, he learns that she was investigating a new designer drug linked to the death of some 200 London club-goers. Among the victims: One of Luke's closest friends.So when an enigmatic uncle appears at the funeral and offers Luke a home in New York, he jumps at the opportunity to leave his old life behind. But he soon finds that despite the vast ocean separating Hell's Kitchen from London, his worlds are destined to collide.What really killed Luke's mother? Why is a Russian submarine docked in New York? Who created the designer drug known as Rave-N? Get Out of Hell's Kitchen and find out for yourself.The Bottom Line: An engrossing, atmospheric organized crime thriller that crackles with energy from the first page to the very last. Highly recommended.Author John Hanzl has created a highly successful crime thriller that works on multiple levels. In particular, his gift for authentic dialogue - across Russian, English, Irish, and Honduran characters, no less - is exceedingly good. As a result, each successive chapter is an immersive experience in which Luke navigates new cultures and mysteries to find the truth that can save not only himself, but countless others as well.In Luke's Uncle, Hanzl has drawn an imposing, complex figurehead that manages to intimidate, even in his most charitable moments. As in Dennis Lehane's best work, Hanzl manages to keep you guessing about the uncle's true intentions until the last possible moment.”John Hanzl's writing style and story are similar in some ways to Robert Ludlum's earlier novels, a definite plus. John has an exciting style which draws you in and keeps you turning the pages” (Kaye Trout, Midwest Book Review) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Philip Battley.

The Complete Guide to Old English Sheepdogs: Finding, Selecting, Raising, Feeding, Training, and Loving Your New OES Puppy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min
The PERFECT guide for any new Bobtail owner! Learn everything you need to know including:Preparing your home for a SheepdogTraining during the first few weeksProper nutrition and diet for a SheepdogAvoiding the common mistakes most new Old English Sheepdog owners makeExercise tips and Socialization ideasSee an Old English Sheepdog in the show ring with its immaculately-groomed, flowing coat and it’s hard to imagine the hard knock life for which they were originally bred.Beneath all that fur and abundant fringe, there lies the heart and soul of a working dog. Big-boned and robust, the Old English Sheepdog is never happier than when at the center of attention or in the middle of the action.First appearing in the mid 1700s, this comparative newcomer to the canine world was originally bred for the tough life of a drover in Southwest England. Here, they were responsible for driving sheep and cattle to market.It was at this time that they picked up the nickname Bob-Tails because of their docked tails which identified them as working dogs and allowed their owners to avoid paying pet tax.Tasked with guarding and moving sheep and cattle across windswept moors and dales, they are doubly blessed with brain and brawn. Their loyalty and companionship are beyond reproach, but it is the breed’s sense of fun that is as strongly imprinted in their DNA as their instinct to herd.The Old English Sheepdog is often called the clown prince of dogs, which is a great indication of the indelible imprint he leaves on owners and breeders alike.A large breed, adult Old English Sheepdogs reach around 21-22’’ at the shoulder and weigh as much as 80 pounds. Hugely affectionate and attention-seeking, they will never be far from their owner’s side. So, if personal space is high on your list of priorities, this may not be the ideal breed for you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Welch.

The Baron's Bounty: Barons of the Cinque Ports Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 479min
Isobel MacEwen is sent as her cousin Catherine's proxy to marry Conlin de Braose, Baron of the Cinque Ports. But several months before she leaves Scotland, and on the same night that the baron's ship is docked in port, she is a witness to the murder of their Scottish king. Or almost a witness. From her hiding place on that stormy night, she only sees the murderer's shoes as he walks by. Isobel's weakness is shoes. She loves shoes and notices not only everyone's shoes, but the way they walk as well. And now a pair of shoes is the only clue to what really happened that night. Lord Conlin de Braose of Sandwich has made an alliance with Laird MacEwen to marry his daughter, Lady Catherine. He's never met the woman, and little did he know at the time of the agreement that she was known as the Shrew of the Scots. But Conlin has a young daughter he needs to think about since his wife's death. She needs a mother, and he needs the alliance to protect his lands - and so he must remarry. But on the day that his betrothed comes overseas to meet him, a storm takes the ship and Conlin rushes to help. The bounty he pulls from the wreckage is a woman - his betrothed's cousin and proxy - Isobel MacEwen. The woman is beautiful, but seems a bit addled because of her infatuation with shoes! And when Conlin falls in love with the proxy, he realizes he is in a horrible bind. Can a baron of the Cinque Ports keep his alliance to ensure the safety of his daughter and his people? Or will he risk all and break that alliance to be with the woman he loves? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian J. Gill.

An Italian Love Story: Surprise and Joy on the Amalfi Coast, Italian Journeys , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1498min
It’s April in Italy, and the journey of a lifetime is just beginning.After two weeks at sea, the Oosterdam docked in Civitavecchia, Italy. Among the shipboard romantics is a not-so-young couple on their long-overdue honeymoon. Approaching their 46th wedding anniversary, they have their hearts set on an Italian adventure they would have loved to have taken earlier in their marriage - but matters of making a living and a life and raising children kept them from getting away together. The surprises begin even before departed the harbor.Their Two for the Road adventure begins as inauspiciously as Joanna and Mark’s in that insightful 1967 film about marriage - walking along the side of a highway trailing suitcases, hoping that someone will come along and save them from themselves. Mardi and James survive that misadventure thanks to the kindness of an Italian bus driver who goes out of his way to deliver them where they need to go. It is but the first of many times in their journey that the kindness of strangers and the ever-present Italian penchant for hospitality overwhelm them. Calling their wanderings "pinball traveling", they let the beauty and people of Italy guide their journey. They travel with no firm itinerary; if they see something they like, they have the freedom to explore it. Mysteries abound in this life, and their sojourn in southern Italy and the warm-hearted Italians they meet give them eyes to take a fresh look at their high-spirited marriage. An Italian Love Story will inspire you to take your own journey of a lifetime - which may, as it does for Mardi and James, bring you face to face with not only the incredible warmth of the Italian people and the intoxicating beauty of Italy but also to the perplexing mysteries of your own life.

The Great Rescue: American Heroes, an Iconic Ship, and the Race to Save Europe in WWI , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 654min
Published in commemoration of the centennial of America's entry into World War I, the story of the USS Leviathan, the legendary liner turned warship that ferried US soldiers to Europe - a unique war history that offers a fresh, compelling look at this epic time. When war broke out in Europe in August 1914, the new German luxury ocean liner SS Vaterland was interned in New York Harbor, where it remained docked for nearly three years - until the United States officially entered the fight to turn the tide of the war. Seized by authorities for the US Navy once war was declared in April 1917, the liner was renamed the USS Leviathan by President Woodrow Wilson and converted into an armed troop carrier that transported thousands of American Expeditionary Forces to the battlefields of France. For German U-Boats hunting Allied ships in the treacherous waters of the Atlantic, no target was as prized as the Leviathan, carrying more than 10,000 Doughboys per crossing. But the Germans were not the only deadly force threatening the ship and its passengers. In 1918 a devastating influenza pandemic - the Spanish flu - spread throughout the globe, predominantly striking healthy young adults, including soldiers. Peter Hernon tells the ship's story across multiple voyages and through the experiences of a diverse cast of participants, including the ship's captain, Henry Bryan; General John Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force; Congressman Royal Johnson, who voted against the war but enlisted once the resolution passed; Freddie Stowers, a young black South Carolinian whose heroism was ignored because of his race; Irvin Cobb, a star war reporter for the Saturday Evening Post; and Elizabeth Weaver, an army nurse who saw the war's horrors firsthand as well as a host of famous supporting characters, including a young Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

The Same River Twice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 970min
When Odile Meével agrees to help smuggle out of the former Soviet Union several works of Communist folk art - richly detailed May Day banners - in exchange for a quick $5,000 in cash, this clothing designer doesn't bargain for more than a few days' worth of illicit activities. But by the time she arrives back home in Paris to deliver the contraband to Turner, the American art dealer who hired her, her partner-in-crime, Thierry Colin, previously a stranger, has disappeared. That's not all: her apartment is ransacked for no discernible reason, and she will have already unintentionally set in motion a chain of events that will put her and those closest to her in grave danger. Odile's American husband, Max, has no inkling of her clandestine weekend. An independent filmmaker, he recently tasted a bit of long-awaited commercial success but now finds himself at a crossroads with his work and preoccupied by the next phase of his career, when by chance he makes a surreal discovery: unauthorized copies of his first film, with a technically expert alternative ending. Baffled as to who would have either the motive or the means to commit this intellectual vandalism, he launches his own single-handed investigation into the origins of the fraudulent DVDs, an effort that will introduce him to elements of the Russian mafia and possibly a human-trafficking operation. Meanwhile, he's knee-deep in his next, unexpected project: filming the actual lives of people very close to him and Odile: a Dutchman and his American girlfriend, both of them fervently dedicated to restoring their home, a beautiful old houseboat docked in the Seine. It's an increasingly vital endeavor that takes on a strange degree of meaning for filmmaker and subjects alike. Then, as if this weren't enough excitement for one man, Max begins to suspect that Odile is having an affair. The deceptions between husband and wife deepen and multiply, even as the details of their respective escapades app ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Dufris.

Accidental Happiness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 725min
Someone once told me that groupings of objects should be displayed in threes. Three provides both tension and balance among items of varying size and heft. My sister’s accident made me an only child; my husband’s accident made me a widow. Part of me will always believe that Angel was the third, the one that left me with hope.After her husband’s unexpected death at the age of 36, Gina Melrose becomes a “live-aboard” on his boat, docked at a marina in coastal South Carolina, near the home she and Ben once shared. In this temporary, borrowed existence on the water, she settles into numb survival. But Gina finds her life taking yet another dramatic turn late one night when a woman named Reese disrupts her quiet world. With Reese comes a daughter: a charming girl named Angel. After a rough start, Gina realizes that, strange as it may seem, she’s drawn to both Reese and Angel. Their sudden appearance shatters the stillness - and Gina is remade. She is fascinated by Reese, who seems both invincible and vulnerable - and whose past may hold the key to Gina’s future. Gina begins to realize that for the first time since Ben’s death, she’s getting her senses back. As both pain and joy reenter her world, Gina discovers that she is able to accept feeling in order to live fully once more. But the biggest surprise for Gina is her relationship with Angel.

The CSS Alabama: The History of the Famous Confederate Raider that Sank Off the Coast of France during the Battle of Cherbourg , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 98min
After the first year of the Civil War, the Confederacy was faced with a serious problem. While the South had enjoyed some stunning victories on land, they had been all but cut off from the world at sea. The more industrialized North had realized that in case of an extended war, the best way to defeat the Confederacy was to starve it of supplies. The rebels started the war with no real navy to speak of, and so the federal government quickly set up a blockade of all southern ports and river mouths. By depriving the South of revenues derived from its main export, cotton, the North seriously injured the southern economy. Without European intervention and the ability to build a navy that could rival the Union's, the Confederacy was mostly reduced to token resistance and using fast moving ships that could evade the blockade and import and export goods. Again, that was only partially successful, and today, the blockade runners are better known for their extracurricular activities; most notably, some of the crews also acted as privateers on the high seas, attacking US shipping and taking any loot for themselves. The daring exploits of these commerce raiders caught the imagination of southern soldiers and civilians and buoyed up morale, even as the war news turned increasingly grim. Among all the Confederate commerce raiders, by far the most famous was the CSS Alabama. The Alabama attacked American ships and eluded the US Navy around the globe for more than two years, all without ever having docked at a southern port. The Alabama conducted seven expeditions, raiding commerce in locations as diverse as the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Atlantic Ocean, capturing dozens of prizes across tens of thousands of miles of water. In fact, the Alabama would meet its demise as a result of having to head into port in France to refit and repair the ship after so much heavy use. While the Confederates tried to rely on blockade runne ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Kollins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/082070/bk_acx0_082070_sample.mp3.

Angel Face , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min, (USK 18)
When Isabel's beautiful daughter, Angel, grew to be a lovely, dynamic young woman, Melvin couldn't help responding to her innocently sexy appeal. After becoming aware of her sexual charms, she makes use of them to the fullest. With her cute smile and bright eyes, Angel could dazzle and seduce whomever she pleased. She loved being looked at in scanty attire and took the lead in group sex. ~ PG Excerpt ~ Melvin drove to pick Isabel up at her house to find her wearing tight fitting jeans, a tee-shirt and thongs on her feet and holding in her hand a travel bag with sundries that include a thong bikini. Off to his house they went. The exchange of greetings with Melvin’s parents, his two brothers and two sisters was surely a bigger surprise and was more fun than Isabel had ever expected. With mellow music on the stereo outdoors on the patio, conversation was rich and interesting. She did not expect to meet a family of six but she was glad it happened. After brunch when it was time for Melvin and Isabel to part, she was thinking, I would love to have a family like this of my own. Lake Nacimiento was several miles away and Melvin and Isabel were both more interested in getting better acquainted than listening to loud music. With the stereo at a low volume, the conversation centered on his family. He talked about his father’s business, and much about his brothers and sisters since that seemed to be Isabel’s interest. She kept it in her mind that they had met in the Marriage and Fam course at school and was wondering, is Melvin going to be the one? No way! We just met. After the boat was docked, the couple was ready to don their swimwear for skiing. Melvin went to the head to give Isabel some privacy and when she was ready, she announced, “You can come out now.” When he emerged from the head in a pair of tight swimming trunks, he was almost floored to see his date in her tiger striped thong bikini. She spun around to let him see her at a ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aric Amendolea. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/210449/bk_acx0_210449_sample.mp3.
