    Dare to Dream: Agent Max, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 96min
    He could see his wife eyes wide and her face etched with confusion, worry and fright while her hair resembled a tumbleweed. Her knuckles had gone white from clutching a small parcel of clothes and other belongings to her chest. She sat very still in the passenger seat with her knees so close to her body that she was almost curled into the fetal position. If it wasn't for the dire nature of the situation, he could find her disposition laughable. Max glanced into the rear-view mirror to check on the children. Their faces almost mirrored their mothers except Joshua kept looking back nervously as though he expected the car to be descended on by murderous agents at any moment. Esther on the other hand was biting her nails with such vigor that she was likely to be biting through the bone soon. Now that they know and have experienced the dark side to his alternate world, Max had long ago prepared for this kind of situation but his family were innocent to a life where this kind of plan would even be necessary. As he sped down the expressway to his safe house, Max knew that his family would never be the same again. This is not how he intended to spend his Friday night. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Carbon Age: How Life's Core Element Has Become Civilization's Greatest Threat , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 595min
    What do bubbles in a soft drink, a bullet-proof vest, a plastic chair, and our DNA have in common? Carbon. It is, and forever has been, the ubiquitous architect of life and civilization, forming the chemical backbone of every living creature. And yet, when we hear the word today, it is more often than not in a crisis situation: Carbon dioxide emissions are destroying the ozone layer and warming the planet; the volatile Middle East explodes atop its stores of hydrocarbons; carbohydrates threaten obesity and diabetics. Carbon, thus, sustains us and threatens us in equal measure. Eric Roston illuminates this essential element in all its forms, cleverly recreating the intricate carbon cycle on the page by tracing its journey from the Big Bang to Earth and its extraordinary infiltration of this planet and, in time, influence on humankind and civilization. Evoking its ubiquity - more than 99% of all 31 million known substances contain carbon - Roston chronicles the ways we have used it, often to surprising, and sometimes to catastrophic, effect: Having sped up the carbon cycle in the last two centuries, we are now attempting to wrestle Earth's geochemical cycle back from the brink. Blending the latest science with original reporting, Roston makes us aware, as never before, of the seminal impact carbon has, and has had, on our lives. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    City of Endless Night , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 647min
    A consistently exciting and never predictable series. (Associated Press) When Grace Ozmian, the beautiful and reckless daughter of a wealthy tech billionaire, first goes missing, the NYPD assumes she has simply sped off on another wild adventure. Until the young woman's body is discovered in an abandoned warehouse in Queens, the head nowhere to be found. Lieutenant CDS Vincent D'Agosta quickly takes the lead. He knows his investigation will attract fierce scrutiny, so D'Agosta is delighted when FBI Special Agent A. X. L. Pendergast shows up at the crime scene assigned to the case. "I feel rather like Brer Rabbit being thrown into the briar patch," Pendergast tells D'Agosta, "because I have found you here, in charge. Just like when we first met, back at the Museum of Natural History." But neither Pendergast nor D'Agosta are prepared for what lies ahead. A diabolical presence is haunting the greater metropolitan area, and Grace Ozmian was only the first of many victims to be murdered...and decapitated. Worse still, there's something unique to the city itself that has attracted the evil eye of the killer. As mass hysteria sets in, Pendergast and D'Agosta find themselves in the crosshairs of an opponent who has threatened the very lifeblood of the city. It'll take all of Pendergast's skill to unmask this most dangerous foe - let alone survive to tell the tale. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rene Auberjonois.

    God at the Speed of Light: The Melding of Science and Spirituality , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 355min
    Respected television producer Barbara Hall cited God at the Speed of Light as one of the inspirations for her creation of the CBS TV series Joan of Arcadia (2003-05). The unique and supernatural characteristics of light that influenced Hall have equally served to inspire the likes of Copernicus, Ole Romer, Michelson/Morley, Sir Edwin Hubble, and Albert Einstein. Einstein, for instance, frequently envisioned what it would be like to ride on the back of a photon as it sped across the universe at the speed of light - a speed at which he calculated that time ceased to exist. Since Einstein first entertained his special theory, science has repeatedly verified the cessation of time at this singular velocity. The term light speed has paradoxically become the ultimate oxymoron: a velocity of 186,000 miles per second in a setting where time doesn't exist. The ramifications are profound and are the topic of this book - ramifications so profound, in fact, as to convince this author, an ultimate skeptic, that an eternal intelligent power must exist. Once Lee Baumann came to accept fully these scientifically proven yet supernatural qualities of light, his further research only solidified the truly metaphysical nature of this ubiquitous form of universal energy. Suddenly descriptions of "the light" in the near-death experience and the Earth's sacred texts (e.g., "I am the light of the world") required no further explanation. God shares an intimate relationship with light. Baumann's God at the Speed of Light will complement and strengthen the spiritual foundation of any religious view. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Daniel's Music: One Family's Journey from Tragedy to Empowerment through Faith, Medicine, and the Healing Power of Music , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 519min
    Learn Daniel’s amazing story of survival and recovery against the odds!In 1997, Daniel Trush, a bright, active, outgoing twelve-year-old, collapsed on the basketball court and fell into a deep coma. Rushed to the hospital, he was found to have five previously undetected aneurysms in his brain. One had burst, causing a massive cerebral hemorrhage. While Daniel remained comatose, the uncontrolled pressure inside his skull caused him to suffer multiple strokes. Tests showed that his brain functions had flat-lined, and doctors would soon tell his parents his chances of survival were slim to none - or that he’d likely remain in a vegetative state if he awakened. But the doctors were wrong. Daniel’s traumatic injury did not bring his life to a premature end. Thirty days after lapsing into a coma, he would return to consciousness, barely able to blink or smile. Two years later, he took his first extraordinary steps out of a wheelchair. A decade after being sped to the emergency room, Daniel Trush completed the New York Marathon. But his incredible journey into the future had just begun. With music having played a crucial role in his recovery, Danny and his family launched Daniel’s Music Foundation, a groundbreaking nonprofit organization for people with disabilities. In time DMF would be honored on a Broadway stage by the New York Yankees, gaining notoriety and admiration across America. Daniel’s Music is the gripping story of Daniel’s recovery against odds experts said were insurmountable; of medical science, faith, and perseverance combining for a miracle; and of an average family turning their personal trials into a force that brings joy, inspiration, and a powerful sense of belonging to all those whose lives they touch. ungekürzt.

    Travesty of Justice: The Shocking Prosecution of Lt. Clint Lorance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 635min
    On the morning of July 2, 2012, in the most dangerous warzone in the world, Lieutenant Clint Lorance took command of his small band of American paratroopers at the spearhead of the American War in Afghanistan. Intelligence reports that morning warned of a Taliban ambush against Lorance’s platoon. Fifteen minutes into their patrol, three military-age Afghan males crowded on a motorcycle and sped aggressively down a Taliban-controlled dirt road toward Lorance’s men. Three weeks earlier, outside the massive American Kandahar Airfield, Taliban terrorists struck by motorcycle, riding into a crowded area, detonating body-bombs and killing 22 people. Sixty-three days before that, three Ohio National Guard soldiers were murdered in another motorcycle-suicide bombing. Suicide-by-motorcycle had become a common Taliban murder-tactic against Americans. Lorance had seconds to react. Either open fire and protect his men, or ignore the speeding motorcycle and pray like hell that his men weren’t about to get blown the hell up. In a split-second decision, Lorance ordered his men to fire. When no weapons were found on the Afghan bodies, the Army betrayed one of its finest young officers and prosecuted Lorance for “murder.” Hiding crucial evidence from the military jury, and ordering his own men to testify against him or face murder charges themselves, they railroaded Lorance into a 20-year prison sentence at Fort Leavenworth, where he remains today. Travesty of Justice chronicles the true story of the most despicable political prosecution in American military history. Don Brown is an American author of 11 published novels and two significant military works of non-fiction. His book Last Fighter Pilot was endorsed by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, and spent several weeks on the Conservative Book Club's national best seller list. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Just when you thought it was over.... The sequel to Train. Train passengers in New York are being terrorized by supernatural entities on Earth Two. Ariel, from Earth One, learns about this alternate Earth and the threat it faces. She travels there on an infinite loop train that should no longer exist. Earth Two also has a Rick, a Lois, an Autumn, a Jim, and many others from Earth One, but their lives are very different, yet the same in some ways. Train: Earth Two is based on characters from the Love Train web series. Excerpt: "At Avenue M train station on the uptown side in Brooklyn, a fairly new couple named Arthur and Betty were waiting for the train along with some other people. They were holding hands, laughing a lot and being silly. Without their knowing, the black train was in front of them. It startled them when they noticed it. The black train quietly hovered. It didn’t have wheels. It was completely black even the windows. It sort of looked like the night sky without the stars. It had no number. It had no letter. It had no logo. It had no driver. It had nothing but being black. The car doors opened quietly. The inside was black and dark. There were no lights. Betty wanted to step on, but Arthur felt that wasn’t a good idea. Betty insisted. Arthur reminded her about the news stories and rumors. Betty didn’t care. She felt, what could happen? Some people got on and disappeared into the blackness. Arthur knew this was a bad thing, but Betty wanted to experience it so he stepped on with her. They disappeared into the darkness. The car doors closed. The black train sped away incredibly fast." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sheila Marie Nicholas. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/105400/bk_acx0_105400_sample.mp3.

    The CBS Murders: A True Account of Greed and Violence in New York's Diamond District , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 335min
    Winner of the Edgar Award: The gripping account of a gruesome mass murder in gritty 1980s New York and the relentless hunt for a coldblooded killer. On a warm spring evening in 1982, 37-year-old accountant Margaret Barbera left work in New York City and walked to the West Side parking lot where she kept her BMW. Finding the lock on the driver’s side door jammed, she went to the passenger’s side and inserted her key. A man leaned through the open window of a van parked in the next spot, pressed a silenced pistol to the back of Margaret’s head, and fired. She was dead before she hit the pavement. It was a professional hit, meticulously planned - but the killer didn’t expect three employees of the nearby CBS television studios to stumble onto the scene of the crime. “You didn’t see nothin’, did you?” he demanded, before shooting the first eyewitness in the head. After chasing down and executing the other two men, the murderer sped out of the parking lot with Margaret’s lifeless body in the back of his van. Thirty minutes later, the first detectives arrived on the scene. Veterans of Midtown North, a sprawling precinct stretching from the exclusive shops of Fifth Avenue to the flophouses of Hell’s Kitchen, they thought they’d seen it all. But a bloodbath in the heart of Manhattan was a shocking new level of depravity, and the investigation would unfold under intense media coverage. Setting out on the trail of an assassin, the NYPD uncovered one of the most diabolical criminal conspiracies in the city’s history.   Richard Hammer’s blow-by-blow account of “the CBS Murders” is a thrilling tale of greed, violence, and betrayal, and a fascinating portrait of how a big-city police department solved the toughest of cases. ungekürzt.
