    Rocky Mountain Sunrise: The Rocky Mountain Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 504min
    Joe Rhodes had it all: a sweet, beautiful fiancé, a successful construction business, and a three story home that he and his brothers had restored to its full Victorian splendor. Then the housing market collapsed, sending his business to the brink of bankruptcy, and he had to sell the house to save the business. At least he still has Mari. Mari Baker is just a month away from marrying the man she calls her dazzling Joe, when she repeatedly notices a tall, mysterious stranger watching her. Could he be a stalker? Suddenly she finds herself alone with the man, and nothing will ever be the same again. Joe isn't sure what to believe about the guy in the trench coat. Mari certainly isn't making any sense about it all. How can she expect him to believe such a ridiculous story? Before, he would have said he trusted her implicitly, but now he isn't sure. It's just too far-fetched. Maybe he has lost it all. Mari knows she sounds crazy, but Joe just has to believe her. She can't do this alone. Author's note: No graphic sex and minimal use of mild language makes this a clean romance. Romantic sparks and sexual tension makes this a real romance. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Cuscus Fur, Stilton Cheese and a Three Toed Sloth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 189min
    I have survived a plane that caught on fire over the Tasman, have lived with a tribe in pre-Independence Papua New Guinea. I have hugged a three-toed sloth in Colombia and worked for an antiquated group of newspapers in London where I covered murder trials, magistrates courts, and cinema and theatre reviews.I have been stuck in mud in Tayrona National Park in Colombia, accompanied by shrieking monkeys, a mirthful friend and guide.A client once requested that my statue be built and that I be made a dame. I have had a murderer as a tenancy client and been called by a magistrate to take over a tribunal hearing whilst she fetched police. The guttering from the front of a disgruntled tenant’s house has landed on my work desk; I have worked with a community organization servicing 50 nationalities.And in riding my Honda 90 across Cambridgeshire’s frozen fens, I have reported on Jack Spratt and Joe Blogs., one of whom was drunk on a turnip planter.Welcome to my world, where I have been held hostage for a couple of hours by an irate service user, have worked with young offenders, and have dealt with a tenant’s suspicion of ghosts. My account is quirky, covering aspects of my travels and work. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sally Cook. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/153925/bk_acx0_153925_sample.mp3.

    An African Millionaire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min
    Set against the international background of the late Victorian rich and privileged The African Millionaire is a far-fetched and farcical romp in which gullible Sir Charles Vandrift MP is slowly but steadily parted from his vast wealth by a series of confidence tricks and deceptions. Many and varied are the disguises of the perpetrator, a man revered amongst the criminal fraternity and even admired by police authorities in several countries: the redoubtable Colonel Clay, so called for his ability to mold his persona and blend in to any background.As the story unfolds it becomes obvious that Vandrift is not the pillar of probity or propriety that we expect of a knight of the realm and that he may, indeed, be of less moral worth than his worthwhile adversary who protests that his deeds are guided by higher moral principles and values. Should Clay be caught, will the jury find him guilty? Despite the proselytising of the author, a man of strong political conviction, the story has an inspired lunacy which keeps it entertaining as it moves swiftly to the close and we are prompted to reflect on the responsibility of our fiscal administrators, their subsequent substantial rewards and the misery they can sometimes wreak amongst poorer mortals. ungekürzt.

    Left on Tenth
    If you pitched a movie about a woman in her seventies, recently widowed, who reconnects with a man she dated in college, leading to a months-long exchange of emails and the pair falling in love fifty years after their first date, the studio exec would say that's too far-fetched. But that's exactly what happened to Delia Ephron, writer and producer, screenwriter of You've Got Mail and bestselling novelist. When Delia's beloved first husband Jerry died of cancer in 2015, after thirty-five years of marriage, she couldn't think of moving forward without him. But when she wrote a piece about the woes of customer service compounding her grief while trying to cancel Jerry's dedicated landline, it caught the eye of Peter, who emailed to commiserate. He was recently widowed himself and reminded Delia that years ago they had been set up by her sister Nora, when they were college students. Cautious about what Peter was hoping for, Delia replied. And, over a few short weeks, realized that she and Peter were soulmates. Months later, still caught up in the whirlwind of this unexpected romance, Delia made another life-changing discovery: she had cancer. Peter and Delia found love in their seventies. But instead of long-awaited bliss the burgeoning relationship was plagued by tests, treatments and uncertainty. Left on Tenth is the story of Delia Ephron's second chance at love and the miraculous tale of her second chance at life after cancer.

    The Grinding of the Millstone: Based on the Life Story of Vasile Caniuca , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 251min
    From a desperate stowaway to Canada’s luxury custom home builder and philanthropist, The Grinding of the Millstone is a tale of a pursuit of a seemingly far-fetched dream, the power of hope, and unshakable faith in God. This book is a real-life portrayal of God's faithfulness and grace and defiant power of the human spirit.Vasile was born and raised in a mountainous region in northern Romania. Toughened by hardships of life in a rugged landscape, his eyes were drawn upward by the mountains to search for something greater...something beyond and greater than himself. He was, and he still is a dreamer! His dream of a better life took him on an epic journey through war-torn Yugoslavia on foot across treacherous mountains to a precarious existence as an illegal laborer in Greece and ultimately, on a near-tragic voyage across the Atlantic with a company of stowaways in a cargo shipping container to Canada. Somewhere in dangers and privations, he came to a God who was interested intimately in his well-being, who, in his love and grace, had his hand on Vasile's life.    "I hope that this book will remind you of the fact that the defining factor in your life’s journey is resourcefulness not resources; and that you are resourceful beyond imagination!" (Vasile Caniuca) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Douglas Wilkin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/170787/bk_acx0_170787_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Dark Planet Falling: Dark Planet Warriors Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 506min, (USK 18)
    The Prince Prince Xalikian Kazharan has a dilemma on his hands. Now that the Kordolians have landed on Earth, he somehow has to convince an entire planet of Humans that his people mean them no harm. It's easier said than done, especially when one's race has a reputation for brutally conquering the Nine Galaxies. Perhaps this stubborn female journalist called Sera Aquinas, who thinks she can just walk up to his front door and ask for an interview, might be able to help him. But first, he has to gain her trust, and that's not so easy when her presence drives him to distraction. The Journalist Sera Aquinas doesn't trust the charming amber-eyed Prince when he says he doesn't want to take over her planet. As a hardened journalist, she's seen her share of duplicity and corruption. So when Xal tells her the Kordolians are looking for Human females, she thinks he's messing with her. Seriously? Who would believe that lame excuse? She has to admit however, that Xal is one fine-looking alien, and a part of her is curious. It's absolutely far-fetched, but what if he's telling the truth? What if Humans and Kordolians are compatible? And when it comes to Xal, why does her body keep betraying her when her head is telling her to get the hell out of there? Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jillian Macie. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/008480/bk_tant_008480_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Brentford Chainstore Massacre: Brentford Trilogy, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 560min
    There is nothing more powerful than a bad idea whose time has come. And there can be few ideas less bad or more potentially apocalyptic than that hatched by genetic scientist Dr Stephen Malone. Using DNA strands extracted from the dried blood on the Turin Shroud, Dr Malone is cloning Jesus. And not just a single Jesus, he's going for a full half-dozen so that each of the world's major religions can have one. It's a really bad idea. In Brentford they've had a really good idea. They're holding the Millennial Celebrations two years early to avoid the rush. It's a tradition, or an old charter, or something. And it promises to be the party of this, or any other, century. Unless, of course, something really bad was to happen... Robert Rankin describes himself as a teller of tall tales. The Morning Star describes him as 'The Master of Silliness', and his publisher describes him as The Master of Far Fetched Fiction. He is the author of more than thirty novels, of which he has sold millions of copies, and he makes people laugh around the world. Robert loves going on tour, signing books for readers, and his appearances at signings and conventions are legendary, often including a stand-up routine, a song (accompanied by his 'air-ukulele'), and an always-entertaining question-and-answer session. ungekürzt.

    The Deep Hot Biosphere
    This book sets forth a set of truly controversial and astonishing theories: First, it proposes that below the surface of the earth is a biosphere of greater mass and volume than the biosphere the total sum of living things on our planet's continents and in its oceans. Second, it proposes that the inhabitants of this subterranean biosphere are not plants or animals as we know them, but heat-loving bacteria that survive on a diet consisting solely of hydrocarbons that is, natural gas and petroleum. And third and perhaps most heretically, the book advances the stunning idea that most hydrocarbons on Earth are not the byproduct of biological debris ("fossil fuels"), but were a common constituent of the materials from which the earth itself was formed some 4.5 billion years ago.The implications are astounding. The theory proposes answers to often-asked questions: Is the deep hot biosphere where life originated, and do Mars and other seemingly barren planets contain deep biospheres? Even more provocatively, is it possible that there is an enormous store of hydrocarbons upwelling from deep within the earth that can provide us with abundant supplies of gas and petroleum?However far-fetched these ideas seem, they are supported by a growing body of evidence, and by the indisputable stature and seriousness Gold brings to any scientific debate. In this book we see a brilliant and boldly original thinker, increasingly a rarity in modern science, as he develops potentially revolutionary ideas about how our world works.

    'Tender, witty and romantic - there is something so calming about Delia's writing that makes you immediately want to get cosy, slow down and shut off the world for a moment.' - Emma Gannon ______________________________________________________________________________If you pitched a movie about a recently-widowed woman in her seventies who reconnects with a man she dated in college, leading to an exchange of emails and the pair falling in love fifty years after their first date, the studio exec would say it's too far-fetched. Yet that's just what happened to Delia Ephron, writer, bestselling novelist and screenwriter of You've Got Mail.

Her New York Times piece about the woes of customer service caught the eye of Peter, who emailed to commiserate. He was recently widowed himself and reminded Delia that years ago, when they were college students, they had been set up by her sister Nora. Cautiously, Delia replied. Over a few short weeks of email exchanges, Delia realized that she and Peter were undeniably soulmates. Months later, still caught up in this whirlwind romance, Delia made another life-changing discovery: she was profoundly sick. Left on Tenth is the spirited story of Delia's second chance at love, and a heartfelt and miraculous account of life after cancer.
