    Now the director of the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security, Brooke Fairfax has one objective: stay on top of all threats to the people and property of the Commonwealth. The position is thankless and never-ending. It even pulls her out of Declan O'Roark's bed in the middle of the night. A power grid failure has struck Kentucky's largest city, and Brooke assumes the role of lead coordinator for the investigation. The power outage pushes the city to the brink of chaos. Police, fire, and rescue workers are overwhelmed - their efforts crippled by failed communication systems, looters ransacking businesses, hospitals running on emergency generators, and people desperate to find safety in a city quickly eroding into lawlessness. While experts scramble to restore the grid before thousands lose their lives, Declan receives word from an intelligence contact that an Eastern European cell of cyber terrorists is looking to take down the power grid for the entire Eastern Seaboard. Brooke and Declan must combine their efforts before the next attack. But just as they get close to the truth, the attackers turn their attention on stopping their greatest threat - Brooke and Declan. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A gradual loss of love and intimacy affects most couples, slowly eroding their marriage. What causes the loss of love? What drives a spouse into the arms of another? What factors propel couples who once sincerely pledged their love for one another to divorce court? The common response is to blame one's spouse, but is this really true? In The Three Marriage Enigmas, Kevin Foster, MTh, reveals the hidden and insidious forces that sap marriages of love and intimacy. These forces operate behind the scenes without the knowledge of either spouse. Left unchecked, these marriage enigmas destroy what were once happy, healthy, and loving relationships. Once you understand these destructive forces, you'll understand why your spouse acts the way he or she does and how your own actions are perceived. You'll learn to forgive one another and begin working to reclaim the beautiful love you once shared through a specific, step-by-step system that removes uncertainty and guesswork. The road is not always easy. You must be willing to learn and do the work needed to restore your marriage. But the rewards - oh, the rewards - are priceless! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A majority of Americans in 2013 (53%) felt for the first time in American history their own government is a threat to their personal rights and freedoms. Modern-day compatriot, Dr. Troy Clark, signals permanent losses to religious liberty in America as an eroding pillar undergirding basic freedoms enjoyed by all US citizens. While Christian Americans pray daily for secular authorities, politicians and judges prey daily on constitutional freedoms. Churches remain largely paralyzed and immobilized politically, as large swaths of freedom in America disappear forever. Yet, what is a Christian's role in politics? This is a book that goes straight to truth, daring the heart and patriotic mind of each listener to act with Biblical purpose. In electrifying discoveries, Dr. Clark delivers a powerful response to political issues challenging Christians today: global climate change, immigration, gun rights, American history, mainstream media, and much more. "One nation under God" exhales a death rattle gasp in the America George Washington called to "defend at all cost." Individual soul liberty for 240 years in the good ole US-of-A is soon ending, unless all God-minded Americans immediately... engage! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dr. Troy Clark.

    In this far-reaching narrative, Weisman explains how our massive infrastructure would collapse and vanish without human presence; which everyday items may become immortalized as fossils; why some of our earliest buildings might be the last architecture left; and how plastic, bronze sculpture, and man-made molecules may be our lasting gifts to the universe. Just days after humans disappear, floods in New York's subways would start eroding the city's foundations and the world's cities would crumble, asphalt jungles giving way to real ones. Drawing on the expertise of engineers, atmospheric scientists, art conservators, zoologists, oil refiners, marine biologists, astrophysicists, religious leaders from rabbis to the Dalai Lama, and paleontologists, who describe a prehuman world inhabited by megafauna (like giants sloths that stood taller than mammoths), Weisman illustrates what the planet might be like today, if not for us. Weisman reveals Earth's tremendous capacity for self-healing and shows which human devastations are indelible and what of our highest art and culture would endure longest. Ultimately reaching a radical but persuasive solution to our planet's problems - one that needn't depend on our demise - this is narrative nonfiction at its finest, taking on an irresistible concept with gravity but a highly accessible touch. ungekürzt.

    Technology is rapidly moving into our bodies, writes cyber expert Keenan, and this book gives a chilling look ahead into where that road may lead us on a "one-way trip to the total surrender of privacy and the commoditization of intimacy". Here is the definitive dissection of privacy-eroding and life-invading technologies, coming at you from governments, corporations, and the person next door.Take, for example, "Girls Around Me": a Russian-made iPhone app that allowed anyone to scan the immediate vicinity for girls and women who checked in on Foursquare and had poorly secured Facebook profiles. It combined this information in a way never intended by the original poster. Going to a Disney theme park? Your creepy new "MagicBand" will alert Minnie Mouse that you’re on the way and she’ll know your kid’s name when you approach her. Thinking about sending your DNA off to Ancestry.com for some "genetic genealogy"? Perhaps you should think again: your genetic information could be used against you. With security scares like the Heartbleed bug (which compromised even supposedly safe internet behemoths like Google and Yahoo!) becoming more commonplace, this book is a must-listen for anybody who values their privacy in a wired world. ungekürzt.

    One of the most remarkably inventive voices of his generation, author Will Self delivers a new and stunning work of fiction. In Walking to Hollywood, a British writer named Will Self goes on a quest through LA freeways and eroding English cliffs, skewering celebrity as he attempts to solve a crime: who killed the movies. When Will reconnects with his childhood friend, the world suddenly seems disproportionate. Sherman Oaks, scarcely three feet tall at 45, and his ironically sized sculptures - replicas of his body varying from the gargantuan to the miniscule - spark in Will a flurry of obsessive-compulsive thoughts and a nagging desire to experience the world by foot. Ignoring his therapist and nemesis Zack Busner, Self travels to Hollywood on a mission to discover who - or what - killed the movies. Convinced that everyone from his agent to his friends and bums on the street are portrayed by famous actors, Self goes undercover into the dangerous world of celebrity culture. He circumambulates the metropolitan area in hallucinating and wild episodes, eventually arriving on the English cliffs of East Yorkshire, where he comes face to face with one of Jonathan Swift's immortal Struldbruggs. A satirical novel of otherworldly proportion and literary brilliance, Walking to Hollywood is a fantastical and unforgettable trip through the unreality of our culture. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Form good habits...be a good person is the universal motherly advice every one of us can recall when we scratch the realm of our memories. Tiny tots and youngsters are forever bound, protected, and guided by their seniors and elderly in order to help them on to tread the path laid on time tested principles of honesty and good behavior. Yet sometimes unknowingly they take the forbidden route just to prove things for the heck of it.Due to the extreme stress, strain, and stretch of the competitive world, any person today is more susceptible to succumb to pressure and buckle under it. Here's where the need for addiction in any form arises, which provides only temporary solace rather than erasing the real cause. We sometimes latch on to it and slowly get further and further suck into its false whirlpool, leading us to lose our willpower.An addiction simply adheres itself to our self-belief, eroding it gradually by digging into it. We just remain a shadow of our previous selves hereby taking a shortcut to a track that leads us to more acute physical and mental problems. Any addiction can be overcome, any bad patch overridden if only we could endure it by facing it head-on, keeping the following lines from Kipling in mind:If you can fill the unforgiving minuteWith 60 seconds worth of distance runYours is the earth and everything that's in itAnd - which is more - you'll be a man! ungekürzt.
