    World renowned neurosurgeon Jon Ritter is on the verge of a medical breakthrough that will change the world. His groundbreaking surgical treatment, using transplanted non-human stem cells, is set to eradicate the scourge of Alzheimer’s disease and give hope to millions. But when the procedure is slated for testing, it all comes to an abrupt and terrifying halt. Ritter’s colleague is gunned down and Ritter himself is threatened by a radical anti-abortion group that not only claims responsibility, but promises more of the same. Faced with a dangerous reality but determined to succeed, Ritter turns to his long-time colleague, corporate biotech CEO Richard Stillman, for help. Together, they conspire to conduct a clandestine clinical trial in Seoul, Korea. But the danger is more determined, and more lethal, than Ritter could have imagined. After successful surgical trials, Ritter and his allies are thrown into a horrifying nightmare scenario: The trial patients have been murdered and Ritter is the number one suspect. Aided by his beautiful lab assistant, Yeonhee, Ritter flees the country, now the target of an international manhunt involving Interpol, the FBI, zealous fanatics and a coldly efficient assassin. Dead End Deal is a fast-paced, heart-pounding, and sophisticated thriller. Penned by master neurosurgeon, Allen Wyler - who often draws from experience and actual events when writing - Dead End Deal is unmatched as a technical procedural. Its medical and scientific details can impress even the most seasoned medical practitioners. And yet, the fascinating expertise is seamlessly woven into a riveting plot, with enough action and surprises to engross even the most well-read thriller enthusiast. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    In love with his brother's betrothed...As far as Fitzwilliam Darcy is concerned, the only good thing to come of Elizabeth Bennet’s bitter refusal of his heart and his hand was his new resolve to prove himself a better man. He’d done it, too, by closing the painful distance between himself and his estranged younger brother, Drew. And now Drew is newly engaged to be married…to Elizabeth Bennet.Family duty forces Darcy to support the engagement, especially since even the smallest hint of disapproval could ruin the brothers’ hard-won reconciliation. But how can he bear to watch his brother marry the woman he loves? To see her in Drew’s arms, bearing Drew’s children, and forever out of his reach?An Accidental Compromise...Elizabeth has no choice but to accept an engagement to handsome Drew Darcy.

Especially now that she realizes her feelings for him are far from sisterly. How can she marry Drew while longing for his brother? But the cost of breaking her engagement would be ruination, and with it, the loss of any hope of a life with Darcy.Trapped by loyalty, love, and propriety, there is no way out. But old family secrets haunt the two Darcy brothers. Could those secrets, when brought out in the open, change everything?This intensely emotional variation on Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice will make you fall in love with Elizabeth and Darcy all over again. ungekürzt.

    When Good Lesbians Meet Bad Lesbians & More Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 47min, (USK 18)
    Just tell me what you want, Bethany, Carmen replied coldly. Bethany smiled wickedly and licked her ice cream cone. "I'll tell you what: I am the same age as Derek. All I ask is that you do everything I say, from now on." She took another lick of her ice cream cone. "Be my sex slave, and I won't breathe a word of this to Mr. Childers." Bethany went on to promise she wouldn't reveal their special relationship if Carmen agreed. They eventually shook hands and went their separate ways. And that was how it had all started. Bethany would skip school and go to the Childers' home when Mr. Childers was at work and Trevor was in school. There she would dominate Carmen, commanding her to please her in any way she saw fit. Then one Tuesday evening when Bethany's parents were out of town, she called Carmen. "Come over to my house right away," she insisted. "But my husband is here," Carmen protested. "Make an excuse," Bethany demanded. "You have ten minutes." Eight and a half minutes later, the doorbell rang. It was Carmen. Bethany let her in, shaking her head as she locked the door behind her. "You didn't dress up," she said. "You know I like my little slut to dress up for me. You only gave me ten minutes!" Carmen objected. "No excuse!" Bethany replied. "Go to my parent's room and put on something of my mother's." Carmen returned a few minutes later wearing a pink babydoll and matching thong. Bethany nodded. "Very nice," she said. "Now get over here!" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: K. Krutz. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/011098/bk_acx0_011098_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Among the Creationists: Dispatches from the Anti-Evolutionist Front Line  , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 643min
    Why do so many Americans reject the modern theory of evolution? Why does creationism, thoroughly refuted by scientists, retain such popularity among the public? Is the perceived conflict between evolution and Christianity genuine, or is it merely an illusion peculiar to Protestant fundamentalism? Seeking answers to these questions, mathematician Jason Rosenhouse became a regular attendee at creationist conferences and other gatherings. After ten years of attending events like the giant Creation Mega-Conference in Lynchburg, Virginia, and visiting sites like the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, and after hundreds of surprisingly friendly conversations with creationists of varying stripes, he has emerged with a story to tell, a story that goes well beyond the usual stereotypes of Bible-thumping fanatics railing against coldly rational scientists. Through anecdotes, personal reflections, and scientific and philosophical discussion, Rosenhouse presents a more down-to-earth picture of modern creationism and the people who espouse it. He is neither polemical nor insulting, but he does not pull punches when he spots an error in the logical or scientific reasoning of creationists, especially when they wander into his own field, mathematics. Along the way, he also tells the story of his own nonbeliever's attempt to understand a major aspect of American religion. Forced to wrestle with his views about God and evolution, Rosenhouse found himself drawn into a new world of ideas previously unknown to him, arriving at a sharper understanding of the reality of science-versus-religion disputes, and how these debates look to those beyond the ivory tower. A personal memoir of one scientist's attempt to come to grips with this controversy - by immersing himself in the culture of the anti-evolutionists - Among the Creationists is a fair, fresh, and insightful account of the modern American debate over Darwinism. ungekürzt.

    The Romanov Prophecy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 698min
    Ekaterinburg, Russia: July 16, 1918. Ten months have passed since Nicholas II’s reign was cut short by revolutionaries. Tonight, the White Army advances on the town where the Tsar and his family are being held captive by the Bolsheviks. Nicholas dares to hope for salvation. Instead, the Romanovs are coldly and methodically executed. Moscow: Present Day. Atlanta lawyer Miles Lord, fluent in Russian and well versed in the country’s history, is thrilled to be in Moscow on the eve of such a momentous event. After the fall of Communism and a succession of weak governments, the Russian people have voted to bring back the monarchy. The new tsar will be chosen from the distant relatives of Nicholas II by a specially appointed commission, and Miles’ job is to perform a background check on the Tsarist candidate favored by a powerful group of Western businessmen. But research quickly becomes the least of Miles’ concerns when he is nearly killed by gunmen on a city plaza. Suddenly Miles is racing across continents, shadowed by nefarious henchmen. At first, his only question is why people are pursuing him. But after a strange conversation with a mysterious Russian, who steers Miles toward the writings of Rasputin, he becomes desperate to know more - most important, what really happened to the family of Russia’s last tsar? His only companion is Akilina Petrov, a Russian circus performer sympathetic to his struggle, and his only guide is a cryptic message from Rasputin that implies that the bloody night of so long ago is not the last chapter in the Romanovs’ story...and that someone might even have survived the massacre. The prophecy’s implications are earth-shattering - not only for the future of the tsar and mother Russia, but also for Miles himself. Steve Berry, national best-selling author of the phenomenal thriller The Amber Room, once again delves into rich historical fact to produce an explosive pause resister.

    Fierce Ruthless Warriors Who Shaped Ancient History Vol. I: Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, Genghis Khan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 222min
    In this first volume of ancient leaders, the lives, battles, and accomplishments of three of the most renowned warrior kings are examined. Alexander the Great hastened historical change in the Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds, and his vision for a Panhellenic world stretched over two millennia after his death, crossing foreign cultures and religions, traditions, and even nations far from his reach. He modeled himself after the hero Achilles of Trojan War fame, and was inspired by the legends of Hercules. He was fearless and sought to become one of the gods, ordained to unite the nations under his banner. Charlemagne was the bridge between ancient and modern Europe and the spreader of Christianity among pagans to the north and south of Francia. He was an ingenious military strategist, a wise and ruthless leader, a cunning politician, and a devout believer who ensured the survival of Christianity in the West. He also believed himself above the rules of the church, and coldly ordered the execution of 4,500 prisoners. In an unprecedented act, he joined his military might and his monarchy to the power of the Church in Rome, giving him more power than any other king before him. Mongol leader Genghis Khan is believed by many to be greatest conqueror the world has ever known. His empire stretched from the Pacific Ocean to central Europe, including all of China, the Middle East, and Russia. Concise, insightful, and eminently listenable, Fierce Ruthless Warriors Who Shaped Ancient History: Vol I provides a wealth of information about three remarkable men and the impact they had on the world. Their stories are filled with violence and heroism, politics and diplomacy, social change and religious tolerance. And each made a mark on history as both a ruthless murderer and a visionary leader. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim D. Johnston.

    Couple Kidnaps Each Other's Spouses , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min, (USK 18)
    I met my best friend in jail. Yep, me, in jail. I was 27 at the time, and she was just a few years older than me. Two woman, from two very different walks of life, ending up in the same horrible place. My reason, my husband at the time wanted to experience another woman, yet keep my kids, and I was just in the way. So they set me up, and had me arrested. Our secret spot. When my grandmother had passed away two years prior, she left me her home. She lived deep in the woods, in a cabin. Something told me never to tell Hector about this cabin. Kathy and I would go there when we had to get away and drink. Then, Oliver and I began to go there when we needed to be alone. Oliver and I couldn't go there anymore though, because twice Kathy showed up looking for me. "No, if we leave, that's going to look suspicious. We may have to do drastic measures. I was thinking, the woods here, many people have been buried out here, never found again." It was true. At every little gas station in the area was always flyers of woman that had "runaway" and never found again. Some of these flyers were up to 16 years old. Families just didn't want to give up. "We can't keep them down here forever, and we have to keep buying them supplies, they are going to catch us! We have to kill them!" He said this so coldly that it even made my blood run cold. I didn't know what else to say, so I walked to the basement door, listening first, to make sure nobody was behind the door. I had my little gun on my hip, ready to defend myself if needed. I was surprised to find them both sitting on the same cot together, holding each other. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Meadows.
