One night with Carter can put any werewolf in their place. Not Karen Needham. Werewolf reform should have ended after their first mating, but Karen isn't bending so easily. Determined to watch her shift, Carter tells Karen's family that she needs to spend a bit more time at Sky High Ranch. His concern for her lineage is moot. What he really wants is another taste of the curvy she-wolf, and what better time to have it than during the full moon? When things go awry, Karen is certain that it's all over for the two of them. Her wolf is far more unpredictable than anyone ever thought. Will Carter punish her for her insubordination, or will she have to pay with her body?

Eagle Days: A Marine Legal/Infantry Officer in Vietnam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 332min
Much has been written about America's war in Vietnam, and an enduring and troubling subtext is the composition of the body of soldiers that made up the US troop deployment: from the initially well-trained and disciplined group of largely elite units that served in the mid-sixties to what has been termed an "armed mob" by the end of that decade and into the early 1970s. Drug use, insubordination, racial antagonism that often became violent, theft and black market dealing, and even "fragging" (murder of officers and senior noncoms by disgruntled troops) marred the record of the US military presence. Don Griffis served in twin roles. He was a legal officer, charged at various times with the task of both defending and prosecuting servicemen. At the same time he led combat patrols in "search and destroy" missions against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese enemy. Eagle Days is a remarkable account of Griffis' personal record of experiencing what the military should do best-meet, engage, and defeat the enemy-and what it becomes when esprit de corps, discipline, and a sense of purpose decay. ungekürzt.

Total Control: 11th Hour Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 604min
Helicopter pilot Kellan Blake has always hated being told what to do, so being discharged from the army for insubordination doesn't come as much of a surprise. What does surprise him is that when he joins up with the elite, underground 11th Hour squad instead, they send him straight home. The nest of vipers that calls itself his family is the next target for the team's tech unit, so he'll either have to brave their traps and deceptions himself - or watch his sweet, shy friend Sabrina walk into them alone... Sabrina's no femme fatale, but since there's no one else with the tech skills to get the info they need, she'll put on a party dress and take one for the team. But whoever decided she should pretend to be Kellan's new fiancee hit a little too close to home. How can she concentrate on a dangerous mission when she's worried about giving away what she really feels for her loyal, passionate, smoking hot partner? At least she isn't likely to blow their cover. Until she's in the line of fire, and neither Kellan's demons nor his heart are hers to tame... Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Calling: A Life Rocked by Mountains , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 853min
With heart-pounding descriptions of avalanches and treacherous ascents, Barry Blanchard chronicles his transformation from a poor Native American/white kid from the wrong side of the tracks to one of the most respected alpinists in the world. At 13 he learned to rappel when he joined the 1292 Lord Strathcone's Horse Army Cadets. Soon kicked out for insubordination, he was already hooked on climbing and saw alpinism as a way to make his single mother proud and end his family's cycle of poverty. He describes early climbs attempted with nothing to guide him but written trail descriptions and the cajones of youth. He slowly acquired the skills, equipment and partners necessary to tackle more and more difficult climbs, farther and farther afield: throughout the Canadian Rockies, into Alaska and the French Alps and on to Everest, Peru, and the challenging mountains in Pakistan. From each he learned lessons that only nature and extreme endeavor can teach. This is the story of the culture of climbing in the days of punk rock, spurred on by the rhythm of adrenaline and the arrogance of youth. It is also a portrait of the power of the mountains to lift us. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barry Blanchard.
