Lockdown: Escape from Furnace, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 462min
Beneath heaven is hell. Beneath hell is Furnace. Furnace Penitentiary. The world's most secure prison for young offenders, buried a mile beneath the earth's surface. One way in, no way out. Once you're here, you're here until you die, and for most of the inmates that doesn't take long - not with the sadistic guards and the bloodthirsty gangs. Convicted of a murder he didn't commit, sentenced to life without parole, 'new fish' Alex Sawyer knows he has two choices: find a way out, or resign himself to a death behind bars, in the darkness at the bottom of the world. Only in Furnace, death is the least of his worries. Soon Alex discovers that the prison is a place of pure evil, where creatures in gas masks stalk the corridors at night, where giants in black suits drag screaming inmates into the shadows, where deformed beasts can be heard howling from the blood drenched tunnels below. And behind everything is the mysterious, all-powerful warden, a man as cruel and as dangerous as the devil himself, whose unthinkable acts have consequences that stretch far beyond the walls of the prison. Together with a bunch of inmates - some innocent kids who have been framed, others cold-blooded killers - Alex plans the prison break to end all prison breaks. But as he starts to uncover the truth about Furnace's deeper, darker purpose, Alex's actions grow ever more dangerous, and he must risk everything to expose this nightmare that's hidden from the eyes of the world. ungekürzt.

The Campbell Trilogy 3-Book Bundle (eBook, ePUB)
Monica McCarty's novels of Scottish historical romance are the gold standard in a genre known for sensual intrigue. In this riveting trilogy, the men and women of the Campbell clan lose themselves in the velvet darkness of passionate nights, play deadly games of murder and treason, and fight to forge a love as strong as the sword that rules the Highlands. This up-all-night eBook bundle includes: HIGHLAND WARRIOR The ruthless enforcer of Scotland's most powerful clan, Jamie Campbell will use any means necessary to vanquish unrest among the feuding Highlanders, but when he poses as a suitor to a rival clan's daughter, the line between duty and pleasure is suddenly blurred. Caitrina Lamont has no intention of forsaking her father and brothers for a husband-especially a hated Campbell. But Jamie's raw, sensual strength and searing kiss melt her resistance. When her idyllic world is shattered, Caitrina finds that her only hope lies in the arms of the enemy. HIGHLAND OUTLAW Handsome and dangerous, Patrick MacGregor is a wanted man who will stop at nothing to save his outlawed clan, even if it means marrying Elizabeth Campbell, the daughter of his worst enemy. Yet the flaxen-haired beauty makes him want much more than revenge. Inside the shy and dutiful Lizzie, a passionate woman longs to emerge. So when the piercing emerald eyes of a stranger spark a desperate hunger, she surrenders to Patrick's glorious seduction-unaware that his daring deception has just found its one and only chance for redemption. HIGHLAND SCOUNDREL Framed for a crime he did not commit, Duncan Campbell has returned to the Highlands to clear his name. After ten years in exile, Duncan is drawn to the headstrong girl who once betrayed him-and who now shows him the bad end of a pistol. No longer a starry-eyed girl but a woman with dangerous secrets, Jeannie Gordon cannot forgive Duncan's shattering mistrust of her nor can she sign his death warrant by turning him in. Soon passion flares hotter and bolder than before, sealing a fate the onetime lovers can no longer deny.- Shop: buecher

The Gunman (Doc Beck Westerns Book 7) (eBook, ePUB)
"Whatever you do, stay out of trouble." The echo of Doctor McKinnon's words follow Doctor Rebekah LaRoche on her latest medical mission. But being tasked with escorting an unknown woman to an insane asylum is difficult enough; add in former gunman Cord Johnson, who claims to be the woman's brother, and Rebekah is set on a dangerous path to discover the truth about the silent woman before it's too late. Cord Johnson's violent reputation haunts him on his quest to keep a promise made to his sister-a promise he is determined to keep after breaking so many. All he wants to do is to take Ella home to the farm their father left them and live in peace. But when a rogue U.S. marshal arrests him for murder and Doctor Rebekah LaRoche takes off with his sister, Cord must rely on the reputation of his ivory handled six-guns. With an upcoming political meeting to state her case for returning home to the Omaha Indian Reservation, the last thing Rebekah needs is to get tangled up with a gunman and a lost woman who is unable to speak for herself. But could Cord Johnson be telling the truth? Is Rebekah set to commit the emotionally distraught woman to an asylum that will separate a family forever? About the Doc Beck Westerns: Of Omaha Indian and French descent, 34-year-old Doctor Rebekah LaRoche goes by Doc Beck, which gets her foot in doors before her patients and patrons realize she's a woman. A sophisticated spitfire with remarkable people skills, a foot in the door is all Rebekah needs to do her job. Traveling the West in the 1890s to lend aid and cure the sick, Doc Beck finds herself solving problems and setting straight more than just broken bones. But the work doesn't fill the longing in her heart for a place to truly call home-and someone beyond herself to believe in.

Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect
We are profoundly social creatures--more than we know. In Social, renowned psychologist Matthew Lieberman explores groundbreaking research in social neuroscience revealing that our need to connect with other people is even more fundamental, more basic, than our need for food or shelter. Because of this, our brain uses its spare time to learn about the social world--other people and our relation to them. It is believed that we must commit 10,000 hours to master a skill. According to Lieberman, each of us has spent 10,000 hours learning to make sense of people and groups by the time we are ten. Social argues that our need to reach out to and connect with others is a primary driver behind our behavior. We believe that pain and pleasure alone guide our actions. Yet, new research using fMRI--including a great deal of original research conducted by Lieberman and his UCLA lab--shows that our brains react to social pain and pleasure in much the same way as they do to physical pain and pleasure. Fortunately, the brain has evolved sophisticated mechanisms for securing our place in the social world. We have a unique ability to read other people's minds, to figure out their hopes, fears, and motivations, allowing us to effectively coordinate our lives with one another. And our most private sense of who we are is intimately linked to the important people and groups in our lives. This wiring often leads us to restrain our selfish impulses for the greater good. These mechanisms lead to behavior that might seem irrational, but is really just the result of our deep social wiring and necessary for our success as a species. Based on the latest cutting edge research, the findings in Social have important real-world implications. Our schools and businesses, for example, attempt to minimalize social distractions. But this is exactly the wrong thing to do to encourage engagement and learning, and literally shuts down the social brain, leaving powerful neuro-cognitive resources untapped. The insights revealed in this pioneering book suggest ways to improve learning in schools, make the workplace more productive, and improve our overall well-being.- Shop: buecher

The Fall of Gilead (eBook, ePUB)
Enter once more the world of Roland Deschain—and the world of the Dark Tower...now presented in a stunning graphic novel form that will unlock the doorways to terrifying secrets and bold storytelling as part of the dark fantasy masterwork and magnum opus from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King. "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." With these unforgettable words, millions of readers were introduced to Stephen King's iconic character Roland Deschain of Gilead. Roland is the last of his kind, a "gunslinger" charged with protecting whatever goodness and light remains in his world—a world that "moved on," as they say. In this desolate reality—a dangerous land filled with ancient technology and deadly magic, and yet one that mirrors our own in frightening ways—Roland is on a spellbinding and soul-shattering quest to locate and somehow save the mystical nexus of all worlds, all universes: the Dark Tower. Now, in the graphic novel series Stephen King's The Dark Tower: Beginnings, originally published by Marvel Comics in single-issue form and creatively overseen by Stephen King himself, the full story of Roland's troubled past and coming-of-age is revealed. Sumptuously drawn by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, plotted by longtime Stephen King expert Robin Furth, and scripted by New York Times bestselling author Peter David, Beginnings is an extraordinary and terrifying journey into Roland's origins—ultimately serving as the perfect introduction for new readers to Stephen King's modern literary classic The Dark Tower, while giving longtime fans thrilling adventures merely hinted at in his blockbuster novels. The evil deceptions woven by the merciless, mesmerizing power of the mystical seeing sphere known as "Maerlyn's Grapefruit" warped Roland Deschain of Gilead's sense of reality, causing him to unintentionally commit a shocking and unforgivable crime—one that may surely earn him a swift journey to the gallows. But what has happened to Roland is only a taste of the bitter fate for all of Mid-World's noblest defenders, as the violent insanity and destructive scheming of the monstrous "Good Man" John Farson and the inhuman Marten Broadcloak finally culminate in an all-out assault on the city of Gilead itself....- Shop: buecher

My name is Skye. I’ve been working for the Syndicate for five years, now. I don’t know anything about them, but that’s just how it is in this line of work. I’m an assassin.

Today, my target is a hedge fund manager named Jacob Simons. It’s easy, he’s just another target for me to take down. He’s probably done something to anger the Syndicate. I don’t care. I go to him, I meet him, I flirt with him, rinse and repeat. It’s always the same. Until it isn’t. Despite the risks, he’s got his own charm. I find myself falling for it. I can’t do this. I can’t let my heart win. I have to kill him, or the Syndicate will kill me! But he’s different than all my other marks. He’s quick-witted. Jacob can see right through me. Sometimes I feel like he already knows more about me than I do. Jacob has me completely enamored. How do I resist him? He’s got such skilled hands.... Why can’t I resist? He could get me killed!
