    It's 1969, and, having just celebrated his 45th birthday, James Bond - British special agent 007 - is summoned to headquarters to receive an unusual assignment. Zanzarim, a troubled West African nation, is being ravaged by a bitter civil war, and M directs Bond to quash the rebels threatening the established regime. Bond's arrival in Africa marks the start of a feverish mission to discover the forces behind this brutal war - and he soon realizes the situation is far from straightforward. Piece by piece, Bond uncovers the real cause of the violence in Zanzarim, revealing a twisting conspiracy that extends further than he ever imagined. Moving from rebel battlefields in West Africa to the closed doors of intelligence offices in London and Washington, this novel is at once a gripping thriller, a tensely plotted story full of memorable characters and breathtaking twists, and a masterful study of power and how it is wielded - a brilliant addition to the James Bond canon.

    John Safran vs The Occult , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 184min
    John Safran has fallen in with the wrong crowd, again. He has spent months among sorcerers, satanists, and exorcists and he's spilling the beans in a new podcast.  Forget gentle white witches and tarot card readers. John packs his bag and fearlessly heads off to places where black magic leads not only to exorcisms but...murder. He flies to the US and investigates a gang who murdered a teenage girl for disturbing their satanic shrine. He sails to remote islands in Vanuatu, where laws have been passed to quash witchcraft and contravening them can lead to a public hanging or exile.  Back in his hometown of Melbourne, he spends time with a Muslim professional who, convinced she is possessed by spirits, seeks an Islamic exorcism. John discovers that a belief in Black Magic can hold people together and tear people apart. But why, in this world of science and rationality, are so many around the world still fearful of dark spirit realms? And what are police and psychologists meant to do to rein all this in?This series contains mature themes, and listener discretion is advised. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Safran.

    The First Day of the Blitz: September 7, 1940 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 336min
    On September 7, 1940, the long-feared and anticipated attack by the German Luftwaffe plunged London into a cauldron of fire and devastation. This compelling audiobook recreates that day in all its horror, using rich archival sources and first-hand accounts, many never before published. Eminent historian Peter Stansky weaves together the stories of people who recorded their experiences of the opening hours of the Blitz. Then, exploring more deeply, the author examines what that critical day meant to the nation at the time, and what it came to mean in following years. Much of the future of Britain was determined in the first twelve hours of bombing, Stansky contends. The Blitz set in motion a range of responses that contributed to ultimate victory over Germany and to a transformation of British society. The wave of terror, though designed to quash morale, instead inspired stoicism, courage, and a new camaraderie. The tragic London bombing can reveal much of relevance to our own violent times, Stansky concludes: both the effectiveness of modern terror and its ultimate failure are made powerfully clear by the events of September 7, 1940. The book is published by Yale University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Edwin David. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/110472/bk_acx0_110472_sample.mp3.

    Buy-In: Saving Your Good Idea from Getting Shot Down , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 262min
    You believe in a good idea. You know it could make a crucial difference for you, your organization, your community. You present it, hoping for enthusiastic support. Instead, you get confounding questions, inane comments, and verbal bullets. Before you know what’s hit you, your idea is dead, shot down. It doesn’t have to be this way, say John Kotter and Lorne Whitehead. In Buy-In, they reveal how to protect good ideas and win the support needed to deliver valuable results. The key? Understand the unfair attack strategies that naysayers, nitpickers, and handwringers deploy with great success time and time again: Death by delay: Endlessly putting off or diverting discussion of your idea until all momentum is lost Confusion: Presenting so much distracting information that confidence in your proposal dies Fear mongering: Stirring up irrational anxieties about your idea Character assassination: Undermining your reputation and credibility Through the device of a fresh and amusing fictional narrative, the authors vividly show how avoiding or attempting to quash attackers doesn’t work. According to their counterintuitive approach, it’s far better to respectfully engage these adversaries and stand your ground with simple, convincing responses that save the day. ungekürzt.

    Captain Kat Falcone owes her life and career to her former right-hand man, William McElney, and she did everything in her power to make sure he was front and center for a promotion. But now that he has it, she fears he'll have to watch his back. Captain McElney has been assigned to HMS Uncanny - nicknamed Unlucky - a heavy cruiser tainted by the mysterious deaths of two former captains and rumors of mutineers. Nevertheless, as the interstellar war with the Theocracy rages on, the Uncanny will travel in tandem with Kat's starship, HMS Lightning, to the notoriously lawless Jorlem Sector to forge alliances for the Commonwealth and quash rampant piracy. As Captain McElney struggles to whip a hostile crew of miscreants into a disciplined fighting force, Kat is saddled with an undermining new executive officer - an untested aristocrat whose bigotry colors his sense of duty. Both captains wage war against ruthless pirates while conspirators aboard the Uncanny plot to seize the ship. When the starships find themselves locked in a death match with an enemy juggernaut, Kat must make a desperate and devastating sacrifice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lauren Ezzo.

    Someone to Cherish , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
    The death of Callie Scott's fashionable father left her with nothing - except an inquisitive mind not even her grandmother's puritanical upbringing could quash. An adventurous spirit doesn't get her much in New York City, however, except an abysmal position as a ladies maid. Things are looking up when she lands a trial job in a library. Her benefactor's offer of wine before noon should have signaled something amiss - not to mention the heated text she's asked to translate. The more she reads, the more wine she needs to cool her blush. Detective Cutter can't quite place the tipsy young woman he encounters in a notorious brothel, but when she plants a dizzying kiss on his lips, he's sure she doesn't belong there. The resulting scandal of the police raid leaves Callie on the street, and Cutter feels responsible for her welfare. Despite the cruel knowledge that he will never be part of her world, Cutter impulsively offers her a job in his home, where she turns out to possess more than the face of an angel. She has an irresistible, innocent sensuality - and an insatiable curiosity that could bring her one step too close to a murderer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathy Bell Denton.

    In the third book of the Nebula Award-nominated Arcadia Project series, which New York Times best-selling author Seanan McGuire called "exciting, inventive, and brilliantly plotted", Millie Roper has to pull off two impossible heists - with the fate of the worlds in the balance. Three months ago, a rift between agents in London and Los Angeles tore the Arcadia Project apart. With both fey Courts split down the middle - half supporting London, half LA - London is putting the pieces in place to quash the resistance. But due to an alarming backslide in her mental health, new LA agent Mille Roper is in no condition to fight. When London's opening shot is to frame Millie's partner, Tjuan, for attempted homicide, Millie has no choice but to hide him and try to clear his name. Her investigation will take her across the pond to the heart of Arcadia at the mysterious and impenetrable White Rose palace. The key to Tjuan's freedom - and to the success of the revolution - is locked in a vault under the fey Queen's watchful eye. It's up to Millie to plan and lead a heist that will shape the future of two worlds - all while pretending that she knows exactly what she's doing.... ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Mary Linn, Gravestone Hunter: A Mary Linn Life-Changing Mystery Adventure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min
    Hi there,My name is Mary Linn Hasenpfeffer. I’m 15 years old. I’m in my sophomore year of school, and today is the first day of my 12th school since first grade. I hate the first three days at a new school for three reasons:The new kid on the block is a target for bullies.I’m not a socialite, so cliques shun me.There’s always one or two who decide I’m a threat to...I don’t know what. But they have a need to show me who’s boss: them.All I want to do is finish school in peace, maybe make a new friend, and help my mother get through the chemo and back to herself.I made this book to share my personal journey. It started out as a guide to quash bullies but turned into a story of murder, mayhem, a father gone wonky, and being forced to live on the "other side of the tracks". The odd thing is...every twist and turn leads back to bullying in one form or another.And the bottom line is that I need you to help with the guide. What would you have done differently? Is it one bully or many? How far will a bully go to show me who’s boss? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Isa Lonergan.
