    A Woman Entangled: Blackshear Family, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 695min
    Kate Westbrook has dreams far bigger than romance. Love won't get her into London's most consequential parties, nor prevent her sisters from being snubbed and looked down upon-all because their besotted father unadvisedly married an actress. But a noble husband for Kate would deliver a future most suited to the granddaughter of an earl. Armed with ingenuity, breathtaking beauty, and the help of an idle aunt with connections, Kate is poised to make her dreams come true. Unfortunately, a familiar face - albeit a maddeningly handsome one - appears bent on upsetting her scheme. Implored by Kate's worried father to fend off the rogues eager to exploit his daughter's charms, Nick Blackshear has set aside the torch he's carried for Kate in order to do right by his friend. Anyway, she made it quite clear that his feelings were not returned - though policing her won't abate Nick's desire. Reckless passion leads to love's awakening, but time is running out. Kate must see for herself that the charms of high society are nothing compared to the infinite sweet pleasures demanded by the heart. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Ericksen.

    Seeded Deep 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 17min, (USK 18)
    Rodriguez is captain of the scout ship Eleanor, which had carried Wren Fisher, the scientist who discovered a plant-animal hybrid that could potentially change humankind's reality on a monumental scale. The medical possibilities are beyond imagination. However, upon close reading of the report that Wren had submitted before her presumed death, the scientists on the Harbinger speculated that any interaction with the new species would lead to death for the human or other equally horrifying consequences, such as rapid phenotype expression changes due to radically altered DNA. Although all the ramifications and implications of the new information is not completely understood yet, the conclusion is definite - the crew has to get out of there. And even more upsetting: anyone who has come into any contact with the plantimals is going to be left on the planet's surface permanently. When young and beautiful crewmember Alexis Anderson starts acting very strangely, she's going to have to be taken...hard and without protection. Rodriguez knows it's a matter of life or death to make Alexis cum. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sierra Kline.

    Editor Missing (eBook, ePUB)
    This is a time when the space for free speech is shrinking in India, along with a growing intolerance of contrarian views. The right to dissent, which should be the bedrock of any democracy, is seriously endangered. There is widespread belief that we are in an undeclared emergency. Not everyone agrees with this, though, and the jury is out on the state of play in the world's largest democracy. As charges and countercharges fly, with no unanimity in sight, India's national discourse, particularly its news media, is becoming increasingly divided and polarized.In Editor Missing, veteran journalist Ruben Banerjee attempts to provide clarity on the state of Indian media at a time when there is consensus only on the lack of it. The media mirrors society, and Banerjee is best placed to tell its contested story in contemporary India. As a top editor for various publications, he has had a ringside view for years of the decline in its standards, quality and objectivity. His own experiences reflect the time we live in. The book provides rare insights into the minefield that an editor today runs into - from pressures that are exerted to the risks of upsetting the powers that be. At the end of it, the reader is left with a chilling realization that defending the truth can come at a huge personal cost in present-day India.

    Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 388min
    Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1871), written by Lewis Carroll, the pen name for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Charles Lutwidge Dodson, a professor of mathematics at Magdalen (Maudlin) College, Oxford, originally wrote these charming children's stories for young Alice, the daughter of his friend, Henry George Liddell, the dean of Christ Church. After publication, these children's books rapidly became popular with adults because of the extraordinary mixture of rationalism and fantasy, irony, and absurdity viewed through the looking glass of a child's dreams. These stories possibly reflect the struggles Dodgson, a conservative mathematician, was having in adapting to new scientific concepts that challenged his point of view and seemed absurd and upsetting. Perhaps Dodgson found some way of coping with his challenges through the creation of these "seriously silly" but delightful tales. A new Disney version of Through the Looking Glass directed by James Bobin, produced by Tim Burton, and starring Johnny Depp (Mad Hatter), the late Alan Rickman (voice of the Caterpillar), Stephen Fry (the voice of Cheshire Cat), Mia Wasikowski (Alice), Anne Hathaway (White Queen), and Helena Bonham Carter (Red Queen) will be released during the Summer of 2016. ungekürzt.

    A Demon and His Psycho , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 316min
    Welcome to Hell: where the rules are always changing, the ash is constantly raining, and Lucifer is watching, waiting to steal your soul. With a giggle and an outrageous mouth - perfect for things other than talking - Katie comes flying into Xaphan's life, upsetting centuries of self-inflicted misery. How can he stay true to the one he lost when a bubbly psycho, with mismatched eyes, keeps consuming his thoughts - and awakening his desire? So she was a tad bit nuts. Katie's insanity came in handy when she was the Devil's favorite problem solver. But killing's not on the menu when a dragon goes missing. And worse, Lucifer teams her up with Hell's grumpiest demon. His rejection of her advances only makes her more determined to seduce him. And despite her violent reputation, a part of her is oddly tempted to let him live. Warning: This story centers around a grumpy demon holding onto an ancient vow and a perky psycho (with killer tendencies) who is determined to make him snap. There's cursing, melt-your-screen hotness, messed up religious tropes, and snort-out-loud fun. If you already know you're going to Hell then dive on in. ungekürzt. Language: English.
