    For years I wanted her, a fey lady of worth and standing. I stood by as her friend, was her shoulder to cry on, and the person to whom she told her secrets. She was perfect for me. Beautiful, sexy, and her powers complemented mine. She never figured out my need of her. We said good-bye once upon a time, not by any choice of mine.Now she’s back, and we are both older, wiser, and different. Not children anymore. She needs my help so she can achieve her dreams. I plan to give it, for a price. Because I am not the guy she knew, not anymore. Older, influential, and...confident. Everything I lacked back then is exactly what she needs now. And I plan to give it to her...in exchange for one night. Because it’s only going to take one night to make her mine. Authors note: This audiobook takes place in the Eververse universe.

    I don’t need God…or do I? Kendra Von Esh was a corporate executive who had it all - high powered job, prestige, summer home, and fantastic family, friends, and social life. She didn’t need God, nor did she have time for him. When she decided to get in shape and “cleanse” her body, she realized that she sorely lacked in the “spirituality” department. She thought about going back to the Catholic Church but was conflicted because she didn’t know much about the faith. She wasn’t going to church at all, didn’t agree with most of its teachings, and certainly wasn’t ready to change her lifestyle. But she decided to go anyway and what she found changed her life forever.... Join Kendra as she recounts the struggles, triumphs, and “God-incidences” that paved her way from the back pew to a state of grace, peace, and joy that can only come from the Catholic Church and a personal relationship with God.

    Soon after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, abolitionists began to call for the creation of black regiments. At first, the South and most of the North responded with outrage; southerners promised to execute any black soldiers captured in battle, while many northerners claimed that blacks lacked the necessary courage. Meanwhile, Massachusetts, long the center of abolitionist fervor, launched one of the greatest experiments in American history. In Thunder at the Gates, Douglas R. Egerton chronicles the formation and battlefield triumphs of the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Infantry and the 5th Massachusetts Cavalry - regiments led by whites, but composed of black men born free or into slavery. He argues that the most important battles of all were won on the field of public opinion, for in fighting with distinction, the regiments realized the long-derided idea of full and equal citizenship for blacks. A stirring evocation of this transformative episode, Thunder at the Gates offers a riveting new perspective on the Civil War and its legacy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Crisden.

    The Black Door explores the evolving relationship between successive British Prime Ministers and the intelligence agencies, from Asquith's Secret Service Bureau to Cameron's National Security Council. At the beginning of the 20th century, the British intelligence system was underfunded and lacked influence in government. But as the new millennium dawned, intelligence had become so integral to policy that it was used to make the case for war. Now, covert action is incorporated seamlessly into government policy, and the Prime Minister is kept constantly updated by intelligence agencies. But how did intelligence come to influence our government so completely? The Black Door explores the murkier corridors of 10 Downing Street, chronicling the relationships between intelligence agencies and the Prime Ministers of the last century. From Churchill's code breakers feeding information to the Soviets to Eden's attempts to assassinate foreign leaders, from Wilson's paranoia of an MI5-led coup d'état to Thatcher's covert wars in Central America, Aldrich and Cormac entertain and enlighten as they explain how our government came to rely on intelligence to the extent that it does today. ungekürzt.

    A bold, groundbreaking argument by a world-renowned expert that unless we treat free speech as the fundamental human right, there can be no others. What are human rights? Are they laid out definitively in the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the US Bill of Rights? Are they items on a checklist-dignity, justice, progress, standard of living, health care, housing? In The Most Human Right, Eric Heinze explains why global human rights systems have failed. International organizations constantly report on how governments manage human goods, such as fair trials, humane conditions of detention, healthcare, or housing. But to appease autocratic regimes, experts have ignored the primacy of free speech. Heinze argues that goods become rights only when citizens can claim them publicly and fearlessly: free speech is the fundamental right, without which the very concept of a "right" makes no sense. Heinze argues that throughout history countless systems of justice have promised human goods. What, then, makes human rights different? What must human rights have that other systems have lacked? Heinze revisits the origins of the concept, exploring what it means for a nation to protect human rights, and what a citizen needs in order to pursue them. He explains how free speech distinguishes human rights from other ideas about justice, past and present.

    In 1965, The Beatles repeated every single thing they had done in 1964. They made a film for United Artists; this one was dubbed 'Help!' instead of 'A Hard Day's Night.' They recorded a soundtrack and promoted the LP and film on the BBC. In June 1965, they went on a European Tour (just as they had embarked on a World Tour in June 1964). And in July, they attended the film premiere and gala in London, just as they had done for their first movie the year before. By the end of July, the boys were packing for their 1965 North American Tour (just as they had prepared for the North American Tour in '64). And John had recently published his second book of poetry and prose in 1965. This one was entitled A Spaniard in the Works, following 1964's In His Own Write. All of the events and activities had been exhilarating in 1964. But repeating them all again in 1965 lacked luster. And John, who was struggling with staid, married life in the stockbroker belt, was crying out for 'Help!' Unfortunately, as he walked through the 'shades' of 1965, no one heard him or offered rescue. Join John and the lads for the first half of 1965, the transition year between the Early Beatles (that great stage band!) and The Studio Beatles.

    After her Celtic kin proved too big a bunch of bastards to bother with, Rowan sought solace among witches.After the Breaking, not much was left. I assumed it was a case of magic gone bad...until I discovered my goddess mother had broken the world. She didn’t like it that I’d turned my back on the pantheon. My long tenure among witches rubbed salt into the wound.After a confrontation where mommy dearest fessed up - and lacked the decency to bat an eyelash about the widespread destruction she’d caused - I was digesting what to do next, when a dragon showed up.Yes. A dragon.The beast didn’t talk with me or anything, but it flew overhead wreaking havoc on a goblin horde. Witches are old souls with kind hearts, but they’re not particularly strong magically, so I was grateful for the help. And suspicious as hell. Why a dragon? Why here, and why now? More importantly, why was he or she helping me? Part of me didn’t want to know, and another part was certain I’d find out anyway.This is the first book in a magic-laced, fast-paced fantasy trilogy. With dragons. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregory Salinas. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/175803/bk_acx0_175803_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
