    Outbreak: Green Fields, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 639min
    With nowhere left to run - where will you go? Most of the world's population is either dead or dying from a virus that looks a lot like the one Bree and Nate tried to destroy - and not all of them remain dead. Chased by hordes of zombies, they flee the city with what remains of their merry band of miscreants. But even when most of them survive the first day, they are far from safe - because there is no safe place left. The fight for survival forces them to become resourceful, and soon they realize that the undead might not be their only problem. In this new world, it's each man or woman out for themselves - and just because someone has a pulse doesn't necessarily mean they make a good ally. Yet there is hope - a bunker in Wyoming, outfitted with weapons and food, and above all else, defensible shelter for the winter. Can they survive the 2,000-mile trip across the country with nothing but the clothes on their back and what they can scavenge along the way? This is not the kind of challenge that Bree ever imagined she would have to face, but she's determined to survive - even if that means to learn how to on the job. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Into the Storm: Book One of The Malcontents , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 476min
    A knight of Cygnar follows a strict moral code. His integrity is beyond reproach. He holds himself to the highest standards whether dealing with friend or foe. And he values honor above all. The year is 606 AR, and Cygnar has been sorely pressed by its enemies both at home and abroad. In Caspia, the conflict with the Protectorate is about to erupt into full war with the looming invasion of Sul. The Cygnaran military is desperate for soldiers with the skill, strength, and bravery to take up the devastating galvanic weaponry of the new Storm Division. In this climate, every soldier is valuable, even those fallen from the honor expected of a Storm Knight. A group of such men - thieves, drunkards, and worse - comprise the Sixth Platoon. All they need is someone to lead them. Lieutenant Hugh Madigan, a peerless warrior knighted during the reign of deposed King Vinter IV, has spent years in obscurity, punished for his loyalty to the former king. Now he has been ordered back to the front and given command of the Sixth, his task to turn a platoon of miscreants into elite soldiers fit to be called Storm Knights. Time is short, and war is coming. One way or another, Lieutenant Madigan must lead his men into the storm.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ray Porter.

    Kidnapped by Cattle Thieves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 252min
    A hired hand won’t respect a ranch owner who didn’t start out doing the dirty scut work, and riding fence is a crucial rite of passage along those lines. At least that’s what Heather’s mother says. Heather would much rather be doing anything other than toiling away all day in the middle of nowhere, but she loves to spend her days with the magnificent horses, even if it means riding fence to keep the smelly cattle around. Getting to spend all day in the saddle is just about the only perk of working for her mother on the ranch.But Heather’s world is turned upside down when she discovers that a gang of cattle thieves is running amok in the pasture, stealing her mother’s precious cows. Alone and far from help, Heather finds herself kidnapped and held hostage by the ruthless band of miscreants. Her only comfort comes from Jack, a reluctant thief who happens to be the boss’ son. Held captive in a different way, he alone protects Heather from the unwanted attentions of the other men. But will it be enough? Will her mother meet the rustlers’ demands and secure Heather’s freedom? And what will she have to endure in the meantime?Author's Note: This book was previously published under the title The Cowgirl and the Cattle Thieves.

    Short Story Press Presents Elementary, My Dear Officer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min
    Detective Jeffrey Madison is known for bringing miscreants to justice but lately has found himself tired of the same petty crimes that never seem to end. First Bobby Rae steals from the convenience store and then tries to buy his freedom because he feels that he has done nothing wrong. Then Ms. Clayhorn needs him to rescue her Calico cat and grandson, who managed to end up at the top of the same oak tree, although the older lady seems more concerned with the cat than her sobbing grandson. Feeling disgruntled for the first time in his police career, Jeffrey decides to leave for home a bit earlier than usual just to relax and wind down. However, before he can get out of the front door, he receives one more phone call. Debating between leaving it and answering, he decided to pick up the call and is shocked to hear a young voice telling him that “fishy business is underfoot”. He's about to dismiss the call as nothing more than a prank, but Jeffrey’s curiosity is aroused when the caller introduces herself as “the fully certified deputy for Sunshine Valley Little Creek neighborhood’s watch” and informs him that a crime is about to take place. Acting on instinct, Jeffrey follows the lead and finds 12-year-old Mattie McDaniels, who teaches him that detective business is about so much more than meets the eye. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Deep Fire Rise , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 355min
    The greatest geological event of our times finally has the novel it deserves. (Robert Michael Pyle, Washington State Book Award-winning author of Wintergreen and Where Bigfoot Walks)“Having covered the eruption of Mount St. Helens as a journalist and ridden with Clark County deputies, I can testify just how impressively Jon Gosch has captured that time and culture." (William Dietrich, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and NY Times best-selling author of the Ethan Gage adventure series) It is 1980 and Deputy Wilson has been banished to a backwoods district in the shadow of Mount St. Helens. His duty is to protect a humble rural populace from the miscreants and misfits who lurk at this fringe of society - an all-too-human cast of white supremacists, PCP brewers, Sasquatch hunters, and hermetic schizophrenics. That spring the volcano awakens from its long dormancy. Earthquakes rock the locals in their beds. Plumes of ash blot out the sun. Amidst the rising threat of eruption, a horrific act of bloodshed will propel Deputy Wilson to the very flanks of the smoking volcano on a mission that blurs the line between justice and vengeance. A genre-defying blend of mystery and history, Deep Fire Rise is also an homage to the everyday heroism of a profession so often maligned in America today. Dark yet tender, comedic yet sincere, this carefully crafted novel builds into a climax as shocking and unforgettable as the events of May 18, 1980. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Audie Award Finalist, Mystery, 2014 As 35th in line for the throne, Lady Georgiana Rannoch may not be the most sophisticated young woman, but she knows her table manners. It's forks on the left, knives on the right - not in His Majesty's back…. "Here I am thinking the education I received at my posh Swiss finishing school would never come in handy. And while it hasn't landed me a job, or a husband, it has convinced Her Majesty the Queen and the Dowager Duchess to enlist my help. I have been entrusted with grooming Jack Altringham - the Duke's newly discovered heir fresh from the Outback of Australia - for high society. The upside is I am to live in luxury at one of England's most gorgeous stately homes. But upon arrival at Kingsdowne Place, my dearest Darcy has been sent to fetch Jack, leaving me stuck in a manor full of miscreants…none of whom are too pleased with the discovery of my new ward. And no sooner has the lad been retrieved than the Duke announces he wants to choose his own heir. With the house in a hubbub over the news, Jack's hunting knife somehow finds its way into the Duke's back. Eyes fall, backs turn, and fingers point to the young heir. As if the rascal wasn't enough of a handful, now he's suspected of murder. Jack may be wild, but I'd bet the crown jewels it wasn't he who killed the Duke…." ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Stolen Words: A Detective Novel of 1929: The Cyrus Skeen Mysteries, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 239min
    It is June 1929. The Roaring Twenties are still roaring, but the period is doomed. San Francisco's celebrated Cyrus Skeen, private detective and scion of Eastern wealth, is secure in his solvency; he has never bought stock on margin. He is as finicky about what stocks to invest in as he is in the kind of client he is willing to accept and work for. Soon after his case in The Head of Athena, he is approached by Susan Harker, wife of Hosanna Harker, a noted local novelist accused of murdering his publisher, Marc Pearson, who has apparently pirated many of Harker's novels and sold them under other titles and names. Mrs. Harker wants Skeen to prove that her husband did not murder the publisher. But soon after that visit, another woman, Anya Spearitt, demands that Skeen prove that Hosanna Harker did indeed murder her ex-husband. Skeen does not balk at the challenge; he senses that something is terribly amiss. A third woman calls on Skeen and asks him not to get involved at all. Skeen visits the jailed novelist and is almost sorry that he took on the case; Hosanna Harker is a very nasty person. Skeen rifles through a catalogue of miscreants, malcontents, and suspects, and by the end of Stolen Words isolates the true murderer. Plagiarism isn't the only wrongdoing Skeen encounters but thieves exploiting each other's thieving and a crew of philandering pragmatists. It's a conundrum only Cyrus Skeen can resolve in his own inimitable way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregg Rizzo.

    The Yakuza and the Triads: The History of Asia’s Most Notorious Transnational Criminal Organizations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 148min
    A pack of men in sharp, tailored suits and dark sunglasses strut down the street. Their eyes are shielded, but the icy scowl on their faces is a clear sign to stay out of their paths. A few of their collars hang open, showing off a glimpse of the vibrant and intricate ink work on their chests, and presumably, their entire bodies.Tattoos are the norm these days, but then, one suddenly spots a man with a peculiarly pint-sized pinkie. Perhaps it is only a deformity, but upon a closer look, it appears that the entire upper half has been sliced cleanly off, almost as if it were done intentionally.Since the beginning of civilization, crime and injustice has existed. At the same time, gangs in all shapes and sizes have been around - from rebels, dissidents, and rogue soldiers to the average circle of miscreants loitering in alleys and behind convenience stores.In Japan, a gang of a different breed would arise - one underscored by honor, respect, family, and a code of ethics. They are the Yakuza. From running guns to white-collar crimes in cyberspace and illegal seafood, the Triads - the mafia of China - are potent figures in the world of organized crime. Going by enigmatic names like the 14K Triad and the United Bamboo Gang, these criminal groups are enormous, with some organizations boosting memberships ranging in the tens of thousands. A powerful factor in China and throughout Asia, Triads are entrenched in society and the masters of multiple enterprises ranging from extortion, narcotics, prostitution, and white collar crime. ungekürzt.
