Watchmaker's Heart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 362min
For Miss Phoebe Lockswell, fashionable London tea parties and balls aren't her style. Instead, she prefers to tinker tirelessly with a clockwork diffuser she's built from scratch. If only she can get the invention to work on command, she might earn her way out of an arranged marriage to a repugnant member of the House of Commons. London watchmaker Mortimer Kidd was brought up hard in the arms of an infamous London gang. Despite the respectability he strives for now, the gang leader is blackmailing him. When Mortimer sees Phoebe's diffuser, he thinks he's found a way to buy himself out of trouble. The brash Phoebe manages to steal his heart, however, before he can purloin her invention. Will Mortimer's unsavory past catch up to him before he convinces Phoebe of his devotion? Worse, once Phoebe learns the truth, will she ever trust him again?

The Immortals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 41min
The philosopher and the lover understand that beauty is only a silvery mist blown by the winds of chance across one's vision. When the eye of the beholder changes, so change the visions that it sees in the mist. Monkeys become swans, swans become monkeys, and all are as real as the love with which they are seen... When Jason moves with his partner Peter, a model and actor, to live with Peter's father in Los Angeles, he thinks the former Hollywood stuntman, Alders, is as ugly as a monkey. But there is much more to Peter's father than his funny face. Soon, Jason comes to appreciate that brains, as well as passion and masculine energy, can be sexy, too. As their time together passes, Jason finds Peter's good looks less interesting than they had seemed before, and Alder's monkey face less repugnant. And soon Jason realizes that it doesn't matter what the question is... Love is always the answer... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Guy Veryzer.

The Ruin of Kings
Praise for The Ruin of Kings 'Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying' Lev Grossman 'It was one hell of a ride' Glen Cook 'A fantastic page-turner with a heady blend of great characters, fast-moving action and a fabulously inventive magic system . . . I loved it' John Gwynne 'A fascinating story about a compellingly conflicted young hero in an intriguingly complex world' L. E. Modesitt, Jr. 'The Ruin of Kings revs up with the glitz of a high-speed, multi-level video game, with extreme magic' Janny Wurts * * * The crowd couldn't see the details, but I knew what he held: a silver hawk, stained black from salt air. A part of my soul, trapped in metal: my gaesh. He was right: I would cause no more trouble. Never again. Controlling a slave via a gaesh was as effective as it was terrible. A witch had summoned a demon, and that demon had ripped part of my soul away. I would do anything that the holder of my gaesh asked of me, no matter how objectionable, no matter how repugnant. Obey or die. There was no choice.- Shop: buecher

Surrendering Saul: Fated & Forbidden: Hearth Motel, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 270min
If Saul Ade had known that stepping into his sister's life would make him a player in the goddess Allendra's unforgiving game, he would have never left the shadows. If he doesn't accept the mate she has chosen for him by the rise of the next Blood Moon, the Sídhe will become human. Unfortunately, the woman he must make his love is a mermaid who once tried to drown his sister's human best friend. If he'd wanted a mate at all, reckless Laurel O'Cuilinn wouldn't be it. Laurel's devastated to learn that Saul would rather cede Allendra's challenge than to be with her, but she's too practical to sulk. Four weeks isn't much time to make Saul cast aside his grudges, and she'll do what she must to help the Sídhe retain their magic - even if it means turning on some of the mermaid charm her fated mate finds so repugnant. Allendra's not the only one who can play games. But, unlike the goddess, Laurel plans to play for love - not with it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pyper Down.

Rhea 41070 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 400min
Bock Gammon is a freedom runner. A man with a space ship for hire. He has heard of Replacements and knows they exist, but he has never personally come across one. In fact, he finds the whole idea repugnant - growing a living being specifically for the purpose of harvesting his body parts. So do the governments in many of the galaxies who have declared Replacements illegal. Which is why he is stunned to discover his latest assignment is to bring a Replacement to one of the wealthiest men in the Chatta Dul system. If he hadn't so desperately needed the money, he wouldn't have accepted the job. It doesn't take long for Bock to realize that Rhea 41070 isn't just one-of-a-kind, she's also unlike any woman he has ever met. And the closer they get to the point of delivery, the more he knows he can't walk away and leave her behind to be dissected. Somehow, he has to find a way to save her, despite the odds and hundreds of well-armed men awaiting their return. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Doug Greene.

Queen of Fire: A Raven's Shadow Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1597min
In the thrilling conclusion to the "deftly and originally executed" (Booklist) New York Times best-selling trilogy, Vaelin Al Sorna must help his queen reclaim her realm. Only his enemy has a dangerous new collaborator, one with powers darker than Vaelin has ever encountered. "The Ally is there, but only ever as a shadow, unexplained catastrophe, or murder committed at the behest of a dark, vengeful spirit. Sorting truth from myth is often a fruitless task." After fighting back from the brink of death, Queen Lyrna is determined to repel the invading Volarian army and regain the independence of the Unified Realm. Except to accomplish her goals, she must do more than rally her loyal supporters. She must align herself with forces she once found repugnant - those who possess the strange and varied gifts of the Dark - and take the war to her enemy's doorstep. Victory rests on the shoulders of Vaelin Al Sorna, now named battle lord of the realm. However, his path is riddled with difficulties. For the Volarian enemy has a new weapon on their side, one that Vaelin must destroy if the realm is to prevail - a mysterious Ally with the ability to grant unnaturally long life to her servants. And defeating one who cannot be killed is a nearly impossible feat, especially when Vaelin's blood-song, the mystical power that has made him the epic fighter he is, has gone ominously silent. ungekürzt.

A Secret History: The Making of America, Hörbuch, Digital, 59min
America, a land of extremes, where wealth and poverty walk side-by-side. Thousands of amazing cities of light, full of multi-ethnic individuals all chasing the dream. Wild frontiers of natural beauty and danger. The world's biggest, smallest, loudest, and fastest of everything. Incredible landscapes, incredible people, incredible history. A place where freedom of speech, thought, religion, and politics are espoused and held dear. But is America truly the home of the brave and the land of the free? John F. Kennedy once said: "The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings." But is this really the truth? Is America the nation, the result of just a series of events or is it part of some grand design from some even grander architect? In A Secret History, we uncover the true origin of the United States of America and explore the occult origins of its signs and symbols - discovering that Freemasonic and Illuminati secret societies are responsible for how we live our daily lives in this modern world. Discover the ruling elite who have been orchestrating the world we know for centuries and who sparked a global revolution and created the most powerful nation on the planet - a grand design put into action and still present today.

Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 226min
Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous was the final statement by the empiricist philosopher George Berkeley, Bishop of Coyne, (1685-1753) on his views concerning subjective idealism, couched in the famous statement ‘esse is percipi’ - to be is to be perceived (mixing Latin with a bit of English was Berkeley’s idiosyncrasy!). In his first book on the subject, A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, Berkeley proposed that the physical world exists only in the experiences minds have of it. It was published in 1710, but encountered robust criticism. In answer to this, Berkeley re-wrote the work in the form of three dialogues, casting himself as Philonous (derived from the Greek ‘lover of the mind’) in debate with Hylas (derived from the Greek for ‘matter’). Set against a world view formed by Newtonian science and philosophers such as John Locke, Berkeley’s was a distinctive attitude: he did not deny that a table existed, but the key concept of it was based on the perceiver’s perspective and experience of it in the mind. In Three Dialogues (set in a ‘Platonic’ garden), Hylas begins by challenging Philonous that he denied the existence of material substance. ‘What!’ says Hylas. ‘Can anything be more fantastical, more repugnant to Common Sense, or a more manifest piece of Scepticism, than to believe there is no such thing as matter?’ And Berkeley in the guise of Philonous replies: ‘Softly, good Hylas. What if it should prove that you, who hold there is, are, by virtue of that opinion, a greater sceptic, and maintain more paradoxes and repugnances to common Sense, than I who believe no such thing.’ And the scene is set for the debate. Philonous emphasises (and persuades Hylas) that it is the mind’s interpretation of what is perceived by the senses that really matters. However, Berkeley still argues for the traditional view of the Christian God as a creator - and, significantly, some eight years afte ungekürzt. Language: English.
