    The End is the story of a nuclear holocaust that hits the United States. Every warm-blooded animal in North America, Central America, and part of South America is instantly vaporized without even knocking out the electricity. This is the story of a handful of survivors. Every great civilization in the history of the world has failed at some point. I'm sure that each thought they were different, that certainly their civilization would survive forever. History shows that such will probably not be the case. There is still a Rome. There is still a Russia. This book deals with a handful of people and how they survive the virtual elimination of the entire population of the continent of North America. We become victims of our own technology. This could happen.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Curtis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/019281/bk_acx0_019281_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    No one could stop them - not Stalin, not Togo, not Churchill, not Roosevelt.... The invaders had cut the United States virtually in half at the Mississippi, vaporized Washington, D.C., devastated much of Europe, and held large parts of the Soviet Union under their thumb. But humanity would not give up so easily. The new world allies were ruthless at finding their foe's weaknesses and exploiting them. Whether delivering supplies in tiny biplanes to partisans across the vast steppes of Russia, working furiously to understand the enemy's captured radar in England, or battling house to house on the streets of Chicago, humankind would never give up. Yet no one could say when the hellish inferno of death would stop being a war of conquest and turn into a war of survival - the very survival of the planet.... ungekürzt. Language: English.

    LOS ANGELES VAPORIZED - 9 MILLION DIE! 2015: Los Angeles is destroyed in the ELI Event, a space-weapon catastrophe that leads to a bleak and brutal distant future for all but the privileged few - unless rogue time-travelers from the twenty-fourth century can prevent the tragedy and mend the timeline. In an attempt to protect humanity from itself, the sentient computer ELI steals the weapon's code, but unwittingly makes his only friend, fifteen-year-old Robin Kirkland, a suspect in the sabotage and the target of a military manhunt. Eli's creators, scientists Stephen Wheeler and Kelly Duncan, find a mysterious ally in Arty, a mere janitor sent from the near future to prevent the ELI Event and change history.

    A heart-wrenching true story of one young man's journey into, through, and out of the Holocaust. Some people have a knack for survival, for getting out of jams. Twelve-year-old David Karmi found himself face to face with the ultimate test. With his homeland consumed by fear, David entered a world of human slaughter. Whole towns were vaporized. Cities obliterated in firestorms. More than 50 million people died - 12 million either gassed, shot, hanged, worked to death, or subjected to biological experiments. David survived. Separated from his parents and siblings, David Karmi was hurled into a nightmare of death camps, forced marches, sickness, violence, and depravity. On his own, through the tortuous months that followed, he endured. He is a survivor of Auschwitz, Dachau, and the Warsaw Ghetto. He endured forced marches, starvation, and even persecution after the Allies freed him from the camps. This is a story of strength, courage, some luck - and an amazing man, told in his own words. It is the biography of a survivor. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeffrey Rubin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/098863/bk_acx0_098863_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The world as we know it is destroyed when a regional conflict spins out of control, pulling other nations into the war. Most major population centers are vaporized in the ensuing chaos, throwing millions of tons of dirt and ash into the atmosphere to block out the sun and create a nuclear winter. A new age of lawlessness begins. The void created by the destruction of our central government is filled by local warlords who struggle against each other to provide resources for their people. These clashes threaten to destroy the last vestiges of humanity as the basic needs of food, water, and shelter take precedence over everything else. From the ruins of the irradiated wastes emerge the bloodthirsty scavengers and a dangerous new breed of creature known as the Changed, who are intent on the annihilation of the human race. A small group of survivors from Illinois attempts to escape further south away from the deepening cold and increasing anarchy. Along the way, they discover that the true monsters are not the mutants of the wastes; instead the enemy that they must fear the most is their fellow man. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Keiko Kitigawa disembarks from a plane on a New York airstrip in June 1952, turning one scarred cheek away from the pop and flare of news photographers’ cameras. On the surface, she is impeccably composed, an 18-year-old survivor of the atomic blast that destroyed Hiroshima and vaporized the people she loved best. But the committee who is sponsoring her visit to America for charitable reconstructive surgery want to crack that surface. America is obsessed with the atom bomb, and to achieve its political ends, the committee expects Keiko to become the poster child of the ban the bomb movement, peddling her story to the American public in all its searing, guilt-inducing detail. Daisy Lawrence, Keiko’s suburban hostess as she recuperates, is assigned to soften up the girl and pry her story out of her. With McCarthyism in full swing and the Hydrogen bomb on the brink of completion, Radiance traces the story of the deepening relationship between Daisy and the girl. Wary manoeuvres, whispered intimacies and wrenching betrayals dance the two women - 'host mother' and 'Hiroshima maiden' - unbearably close to the burning stories at each other’s hearts. ungekürzt.

    An assassin with awesome power... A motive of terrifying reality. A killer seeks retribution for the unarmed victims of police shootings. He leaves no forensic evidence of any kind at the crime scene, just the unearthly sound of his weapon, the body of the victim - and its vaporized head. Jamal Weathers is a Black FBI agent and one of the bureau’s top behavioral experts. He has followed the suspect across three states, trying to stop the assassin’s next attack. When Jamal discovers that all of the slain cops bear the names of Black victims of police shootings, it is clear that the killer is a vigilante dedicated to revenge. And in the inner cities, the killer’s sigil appears with his name “Kifo”, the Swahili word for death. In the thick of the case, Jamal comes to a startling, but inescapable conclusion: the murderer is either not of our time - or not of this world. Kifo is classic science-fiction thriller and modern allegory. It is A.A. Clifford at his most devilishly provocative. A.A. Clifford is the author of the SexLife series and the novels 4 and 5 in the forthcoming Numbers Trilogy. ungekürzt. Language: English.
