    A major drug deal is underway and loose ends are being taken care of when two things go wrong: two murders that were supposed to look like a suicide and an accident get noticed – one on an English railroad, and one on board an ocean-going barge. As police are sent to investigate both seemingly unrelated incidents, the men at sea find themselves in dangerous waters. Who among them is on the take, and who is on the level? Who can be trusted when all of them are enduring the special man-made hell of life on an oil barge? As if deadly drug runners weren't enough to contend with, a convergence of storm winds and tides is creating the kind of waves that can make even the largest ships disappear without a trace.... It’s surprising that more authors have not made the North Sea oil rigs the setting of a novel. It may be because most writers have experienced nothing like it. James Boschert has lived it. Listeners of North Sea Wind Storm will feel they have, too.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

    After waking up in a room she doesn't recognize, 20-year-old college student Lilly Parkins discovers that she has been placed in a secret government program for adult women who would benefit from living under the care of a firm but loving daddy. For the next few months, all of her needs will be provided for so that she can experience the childhood she never had. Having been orphaned years ago, Lilly has grown accustomed to depending only on herself, and she is none too pleased by this arrangement, but when she meets her new daddy, Charles Davidson, she cannot help being impressed by the handsome, kindhearted businessman. Charles makes it clear that while he will never be harsh with Lilly, he will be stern if her behavior makes it necessary, and when she speaks rudely to him, he bares her bottom and spanks her soundly. In spite of his strict discipline, however, Lilly delights in Charles' care and attention, and she soon finds herself longing for him to take her in his arms and make her his. But when her time in the program comes to an end, will it mean saying goodbye to him forever? Publisher's Note: His Little Captive includes spankings, sexual scenes, and age play.

    From the author of the best-selling alternate histories Gray Tide in the East and Tidal Effects comes a unique look at the American Civil War.  If the North Had Won the Civil War is two alternate history novels in one. The modern story follows Stonewall Jackson "Jack" Sawyer, a history professor in the modern-day Confederate States of America, and his alternate history "If the North Had Won the Civil War" in a nation where publication of his book is a criminal offense. The story gives the listener a look at a nightmarish modern-day Confederacy where any person with a drop of black blood in his veins is denied basic human rights and confined to a "Preserve". Interwoven with the adventures of Jack, his fiancée, Annabelle Parkins, his friend and fellow history professor, Buzz Hanson, and Buzz's girlfriend, a biracial escort, Lydia Starkwell, is Jack's book.  This is an alternate history of the Civil War written with the painstaking historical authenticity and attention to detail that Mr. Heller's fans have come to expect. The characters in this book-within-an-audiobook are actual figures in the Civil War, and the military tactics and strategies are based on those of the historical war. The fiction is followed by a lively and informative factual discussion of the Civil War, and a bibliographic essay. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kristen S. Osborne.

    Dr. George Cotzias lived a large life. He stood over six feet tall; he drank Metaxa like milk; he smoked cigarettes as if eating candy. He bullied patients, sometimes looming over their wasted bodies. He had “a stare as strong as death”. His passion for women, his wife, and others was infamous. His voice boomed through the halls of the hospital where he was chief of physiology research.Cotzias also had a large ego which launched him into battles with the NIH, which persuaded him to try experiments never before done on patients. One such set of experiments discovered the treatment for Parkinson’s disease, for which Cotzias hoped to win the Nobel Prize.One of Cotzias’s colleagues wrote the story of this unknown famous man. The Great Cotzias: Discoverer of the Treatment for Parkinson’s Disease is Dr. Bernard Patten’s tribute to his colleague. Patten served as an intern to Dr. Cotzias one fate-filled summer, an interim in Patten’s career influencing him for the rest of his life.Patten has a near-photographic memory and had the foresight to take notes while working with Dr. Cotzias. The novelistic tone to this nonfiction account gives the feeling of being in the middle of meetings about diagnoses, of going on rounds with the doctors, of listening to harangues by Cotzias, of having arguments with the nurses, of being in a near meltdown of the local nuclear plant and other adventures.Even political ties to China come into the story. It seemed that Mao Tse Tung - whom Cotzias continually referred to as Mouse Tongue - had Parkinson’s, and the US was able to offer a treatment to Mao for certain considerations.Because of Dr. Cotzias’s attitude of “come hell or high water”, he forged on with his medical knowledge and intuition, stepping on feet, not toes, shouting his way to resolution, shoving his face into the faces of the moneymen, pushing into arguments about protocol. He stopped at nothing, and he found the treatment for Parkins ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregory V. Diehl.
