Secret agent Anton Zilwicki and Victor Cachat return in this classic tie-in series set in David Weber's Honorverse.

Now the conspiracy stands exposed by spies Anton Zilwicki and Victor Cachat - one an agent of Honor Harrington’s Star Kingdom of Manticore, the other a Havenite operative. The outing of the Alignment has turned the galaxy’s political framework topsy-turvy. Old coalitions have disintegrated. New alliances have been born. For starters, the long and hard-fought war between the Republic of Haven and the Star Empire of Manticore is not only over, but these bitter enemies have formed a new pact. Their common foe: the Mesan Alignment itself. But more information is needed to bring the Alignment out of the shadows. Now, defying the odds and relying on genetic wizardry themselves for a disguise, Zilwicki and Cachat return to Mesa - only to discover that even they have underestimated the Alignment’s ruthlessness and savagery. Soon they are on the run in Mesa’s underworld, not only hunted by the Alignment but threatened by the exploding conflict on the planet between Mesa’s overlords and the brutalized slaves and descendants of slaves who have suffered under their rule for so long. But if Zilwicki and Cachat succeed in rooting out the ancient conspiracy, a great evil may be finally removed from the galaxy - and on a long-oppressed planet, freedom may finally dawn. ungekürzt.

While on the trail of a stolen tactical nuclear weapon, Jack Sigler, callsign: King, and his black ops Chess Team, answer a cry for help. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is on the verge of exploding into another bloody civil war that will engulf all of Africa and put millions at risk, a crisis too politically volatile for any outside nation to touch.

    Ghost Carrier: They Died to Fight Another Day , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 194min
    Frank Rusk has not been sleeping well lately. He is approaching his milestone 70th birthday. Each night for the past two weeks, indescribable scenes of horror have awakened him. He is on an exploding ship in WWII, which is sinking fast. Men are burning alive all around him. He hears sailors cry out that a Japanese torpedo hit the bomb bay!  In these nightmarish visions, Frank realizes he is not a spectator watching but a sailor living them. Everywhere he turns, he sees buddies he knows taking their last breaths.  Frank decides this horrifying scene must be what his father, Joe Rusk, experienced in his last moments alive before perishing on an aircraft carrier in November 1943. The sinking occurred just two months after Frank was born.  At his 70th birthday party, before blowing the candles out on his cake, Frank makes a wish he has kept secret his entire life; an impossible wish that defies time and the laws of the universe. Frank yearns to rewrite history and have his dad in his life. As Frank blows out the candles, his father Joe's face materializes in the flames. Joe Rusk looks terrified and screams to Frank for help.  Unbeknownst to Frank, his father did not die in 1943 but entered a parallel dimension when his ship sank. Joe Rusk and the crew of the carrier are trapped in time on a parallel Earth fighting a far superior Japanese naval force, and America is losing the war.  Outnumbered and outgunned, the crew's only hope is the unbroken soul connection Joe and Frank share. But will the father-and-son bond be strong enough to bring the doomed crew home? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirk Winkler.

    Gini: Capitalism, Cryptocurrencies & the Battle for Human Rights , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min
    Humanity evolves at the speed of justice. This is a book about the technologies, systems, and public policies that are necessary to achieve justice. Humanity's technology is evolving at an exponential rate, but our laws and cultural norms evolve at the speed of justice. The speed of justice is dictated by those who have the most financial and political power. The more concentrated the power, the slower the justice. Justice can only exist when economic and political systems produce outcomes that maximize health, wealth and freedom for the largest number of humans. By that measure, the speed of justice in many countries on Earth today is excruciatingly slow. In fact, it's not only slow; it's accelerating in reverse.Fixing a broken system. With such enormous economic and political power concentrated in the hands of less than 0.01 percent of Earth's corporations and less than 0.0000001 percent of Earth's human population, is it any surprise that economic and political systems worldwide are imploding, humanitarian crises are exploding, and 80 percent of the global population lives in poverty? These problems are only possible when giant corporations and governments collude against the best interests of their citizens. This is the essence of broken capitalism and broken democracy on Earth today. Gini provides solutions.Best-selling author. Gini is written by the best-selling author of Broken Capitalism, International Political Economy expert, cryptocurrency and A.I. architect, and former U.S. Government Intelligence operative, Ferris Eanfar. Tackling big questions about privacy, A.I., cryptocurrencies, taxes, economic freedom, and human rights, Mr. Eanfar provides unique and refreshing insights into the socioeconomic trends and technologies that are shaping the future of humanity.All book proceeds go to the nonprofit Gini Foundation.

    Hot SEAL Lover: Hot SEAL Team, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 472min
    One night in the sheets is all she wants.... Christina Girard is a lady. But she's a lady whose world is about to implode. She's done everything right, but she can't escape the taint of scandal when her husband cheats on her with another man. She's broken, her spirit battered, her confidence at an all-time low. Then she meets Navy SEAL Remy Marchand, and parts of her she'd thought dead flare to life. Except Remy is part of the Hostile Operations Team, the Black Ops group her brother works for, and that means "no" in flashing neon letters. Yet Christina's tired of always doing what's expected. Just once, she wants to saddle up and ride a tattooed, dirty-mouthed bad boy before she kicks him to the curb and goes on with her life. One night is not enough to put out the fire.... Remy Marchand burns with guilt and regret that he couldn't save his twin sister from her abuser. He lives his life slaying dragons for the innocent and vulnerable. He thought Christina needed his strength and protection too, but he was wrong. After a single night of pleasure, she disappears from his life. But then his SEALs get tasked with a mission: infiltrate war-torn Qu'rim and get Christina out before the enemy finds her. With bombs exploding, blood spilling, and survival not certain, Remy protects Christina from harm while vowing not to succumb again to her sweet temptation. One night is only the beginning.... But life in a war zone is intense, and vows mean nothing in the face of danger. Giving in is inevitable. Staying alive is not - especially when the greatest menace still waits for the perfect moment to strike. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aiden Snow.

    The Doolittle Raid: The History and Legacy of the First American Attack on Tokyo During World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
    The Japanese people had been told they were invulnerable... An attack on the Japanese homeland would cause confusion in the minds of the Japanese people and sow doubt about the reliability of their leaders. There was a second, and equally important, psychological reason for this attack ... Americans badly needed a morale boost. (Jimmy Doolittle) All Americans are familiar with the "day that will live in infamy." At 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, the advanced base of the United States Navy's Pacific Fleet, was ablaze. It had been smashed by aircraft launched by the carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. All eight battleships had been sunk or badly damaged, 350 aircraft had been knocked out, and over 2,000 Americans lay dead. Indelible images of the USS Arizona exploding and the USS Oklahoma capsizing and floating upside down have been ingrained in the American conscience ever since. In less than an hour and a half the Japanese had almost wiped out America's entire naval presence in the Pacific. The Americans would turn the war in the Pacific around in the middle of 1942, but in the wake of Pearl Harbor and the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, the country was in desperate need of a morale boost, and it would come in the form of the Doolittle Raid. In part to show that the Japanese were not invincible, and in part to reassure the American public that the nation would not lose the war, the Doolittle Raid included both Army and Navy units that launched 16 land-based medium bombers from an aircraft carrier, a feat that was the first of its kind but also one involving a great deal of risk. ungekürzt.

    Pray for Us Sinners , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 775min
    A British Army bomb-disposal expert goes undercover to try to identify the source of the bombs being used by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in Pray for Us Sinners, a thrilling novel by New York Times best seller Patrick Taylor. In Belfast in 1973 the Troubles are raging. Two Ulstermen. Two sides. On one, British Army bomb-disposal officer Marcus Richardson; on the other, Davy MacCutcheon, Provisional IRA armourer who has been constructing bombs since his teens. Both men are committed to their causes until events shatter their beliefs, leaving each with a crisis of faith and an overpowering need to get out - but with honour. When he is nearly killed by an exploding car bomb, Marcus welcomes the offer of a transfer to the elite SAS - provided that he first accept an undercover mission to infiltrate the Falls Road ghetto, join the Provisional IRA, identify their upper echelon, and expose their bomb-maker. When Davy’s devices are used for civilian disruption rather than military targets, the bomb-maker begins to question what he’s doing. His work is being used to maim and kill innocent people. His request to be discharged is countered by an order that he go on one last mission. Success will bring Davy redemption and permission to leave Ireland with Fiona Kavanagh, the woman he loves. When the paths of the two men cross, Davy realizes that he can use Marcus’s expertise in plastic explosives. A runaway series of events leaves both men in an abandoned farmhouse in the middle of a plot to kill the British Prime Minster. Can Marcus find a way to thwart the plan and escape with his life? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Keating.

    The Tunguska Event: The Mystery of the Biggest Explosion in Recorded History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
    On 30 June 1908, a powerful blast ripped open the sky near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Russia and flattened more than 2,000 square kilometers of forest. Eyewitnesses described a large object tearing through the atmosphere and exploding before reaching the ground, sending a wave of intense heat racing across the countryside. At an estimated three to five megatons of TNT equivalent, it was the biggest impact event in recorded history. (Mark Pelow, author of "Rock Samples Suggest Meteor Caused Tunguska Blast") When the atomic bombs were used against Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, they ushered in a new era of power so destructive that nuclear weapons have not been used in any combat since then. The pictures of the devastated cities demonstrated the sheer strength of such weapons, and the impact was alarming enough to lead to efforts not only to control the proliferation of such weapons but to denuclearize altogether. It was hard for people to comprehend the power behind nuclear weapons in 1945, but that was due in great measure to the fact that most people were unfamiliar with the Tunguska event, which took place over 35 years earlier in a sparsely populated region of Siberia. On June 30, 1908, an explosion with an epicenter near the Tunguska River flattened an area of about 2,000 square miles, destroying tens of millions of trees and killing countless numbers of wildlife. Miraculously there were no recorded human casualties as a result of the since-named Tunguska event, which generated the energy equivalent of 1,000 of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima. The shockwave alone would have measured 5.0 on the Richter scale. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Hudspeth.
