Rockfall

The Puffin of Death: A Gunn Zoo Mystery, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 533min

An exotic trip to Iceland puts Teddy the zookeeper in the middle of the murder case of a wealthy bird watcher. California zookeeper Theodora Bentley travels to Iceland to pick up an orphaned polar bear cub destined for the Gunn Zoo's newly installed Northern Climes exhibit. The trip is intended to be a combination of work and play. But on day two, while horseback riding near a picturesque seaside village, Teddy discovers a man lying atop a puffin burrow, shot through the head. The victim is identified as American bird watcher Simon Parr, winner of the largest Powerball payout in history. Is Teddy a witness - or a suspect? Others include not only Parr's wife, a famed suspense novelist, but fellow members of the birding club Parr had generously treated to their lavish Icelandic expedition. Hardly your average birders, several of them have had serious brushes with the law back in the states. Guessing that an American would best understand other Americans, police detective Thorvaald Haraldsson grudgingly concedes her innocence and allows Teddy to tag along with the group to volcanoes, glaciers, and deep continental rifts in quest of rare bird species. But once another member of the club is murdered and a rockfall barely misses Teddy's head, Haraldsson forbids her to continue. She ignores him and, in a stunning, solitary face-off with the killer in Iceland's wild interior, concludes an investigation at once exotic, thrilling, and rich in animal lore. ungekürzt.

The Time Treasure: Insidious Inheritance, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 940min

In an ancient civilization that spans Earth's galaxy, only those with strength of purpose and razor-sharp cunning can survive the wrath of the lustful and the craven. The Time Treasure: Insidious Inheritance is an enthralling, wildly inventive science fiction odyssey by Mark Fulcher and Annet Libeau, which pits the ruthless against the righteous in an epic galactic battle royale that could transform the universe as we know it. It's a riveting, mind-bending read for anyone who relishes a fantastic story of enduring love, courage, selfishness, greed, and corruption. An advanced civilization once flourished on this old Earth, Mars, and the fifth planet, Shaytan, now known as the asteroid belt. When a rockfall unexpectedly reveals relics left by an older civilization, a greedy observer ignores the dire warnings to leave this find undisturbed, instead exploiting the opportunity for gain. This prompts an organization of powerful individuals from all three planets to attempt to lay their hands on the discovery. It's up to a single Earth-based faction and a few intrepid individuals to stop these unscrupulous masterminds. The Fighting Priest Daiyus leads the charge. Having no memory of who he really is, Daiyus believes he is an orphan who was brought to Karna by the temple cat, Kyr, the uncannily intelligent guardian angel who protects him from the wrath of the pernicious Hedra. While Daiyus and Kyr investigate swirling rumors of an imminent war over an alleged dangerous legacy left by an ancient race, they are soon diverted to rescue the notorious assassin Tumarok. Along the way, they encounter the extremely beautiful princess Surra; the centaur-like Ekaasi who is an old seer; and Ogath, an explorer sent on an extraordinary journey into a new galaxy. Can they overcome fierce obstacles to keep civilization soundly in the hands of the virtuous? The Time Treasure: Insidious Inheritance offers a wild ride of the imagination that will have you gripping every ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Carlson.
