  ASAC Steve "Mac" McKenzie is out to prove himself by leading a task force investigating a series of murders in the heart of Washington, DC. His undercover work in an anti-government compound twenty years earlier is related - as is the sweet, innocent girl he befriended back then. Now that girl is a beautiful woman, and she has something to hide. Tess Fallon spent a lifetime trying to outrun her family’s brand of bigotry, but someone is threatening her anonymity by using the anniversary of her father’s death to carry out evil crimes, and she’s terrified her younger brother is involved. She sets out to find the truth and comes face-to-face with a man she once idolized, a man she thought long dead. As the crimes escalate, it becomes obvious the killer has an agenda, and Tess and Mac are running out of time to stop him. Will the perpetrator use a decades-old dream of revolution to attack the federal government? And will the fact that Tess and Mac have fallen hard for each other give a cold-hearted killer the power to destroy them both? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric G. Dove.

  Andy Grove: A Biography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 18min

  Andy Grove was a Hungarian-born American businessman, engineer, author, and a science pioneer in the semiconductor industry. He escaped from Communist-controlled Hungary at the age of 20 and moved to the United States where he finished his education. He was one of the founders and the CEO of Intel Corporation, helping transform the company into the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductors. As a result of his work at Intel, along with his books and professional articles, Grove had a considerable influence on the management of modern electronics manufacturing industries worldwide. He has been called the "guy who drove the growth phase" of Silicon Valley. Steve Jobs, when he was considering returning to be Apple's CEO, called Grove, who was someone he "idolized," for his personal advice. In 1997, Time magazine chose him "Man of the Year", for being "the person most responsible for the amazing growth in the power and the innovative potential of microchips." One source notes that by his accomplishments at Intel alone, he "merits a place alongside the great business leaders of the 20th century."

  Honest Sid: Memoir of a Gambling Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 375min

  If you're going to live outside the law, you'd better be honest. This seeming paradox was the operating principle of Sid Probstein's life. Guileless and endlessly optimistic, he was known as Honest Sid around his stomping ground of New York's Broadway. Sid wasn't a tough guy or even a bad guy. He just never had the patience for the straight life, grinding out a living at some monotonous desk job. He was the quintessential American dreamer, always sure that the good life was just one big score away, a man who never stopped believing in his own good luck, even when the evidence said otherwise. He had all the tools; he was charming, good looking, quick witted, and decent, but he had an obsession he couldn't escape. Honest Sid is the story of an American archetype as seen through the eyes of his son, Ronald, who loved him and who almost lost him. It follows Sid's adventures in the world of bookies and bettors, fighters and fixers, players and suckers set against the often-romanticized backdrop of Depression-era New York. It is also the passionate tale of the great and tempestuous love between Sid and his wife, Sally, and of his son, Ronald, whom he idolized. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dave Margalotti.

  Crazy for the Storm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min

  From the age of three, Norman Ollestad was thrust into the world of surfing and competitive downhill skiing by the intense, charismatic father he both idolized and resented. While his friends were riding bikes, playing ball, and going to birthday parties, young Norman was whisked away in pursuit of wild and demanding adventures. Yet it were these exhilarating tests of skill that prepared "Boy Wonder," as his father called him, to become a fearless champion - and ultimately saved his life. Flying to a ski championship ceremony in February 1979, the chartered Cessna carrying Norman, his father, his father's girlfriend, and the pilot crashed into the San Gabriel Mountains and was suspended at 8,200 feet, engulfed in a blizzard. "Dad and I were a team, and he was Superman," Ollestad writes. But now Norman's father was dead, and the devastated 11-year-old had to descend the treacherous, icy mountain alone. Set amid the spontaneous, uninhibited surf culture of Malibu and Mexico in the late 1970s, this riveting memoir, written in crisp Hemingwayesque prose, recalls Ollestad's childhood and the magnetic man whose determination and love infuriated and inspired him - and also taught him to overcome the indomitable. As it illuminates the complicated bond between an extraordinary father and his son, Ollestad's powerful and unforgettable true story offers remarkable insight for us all ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Michael Jackson: The Boy Inside Michael , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min

  Michael Jackson, a life shrouded in controversy. Idolized by millions, yet several incidents blemished his career.I can't address virtuoso. It relies upon how you characterize it. Michael Jackson was a dynamic entertainer. He brought many innovative ideas into the pop world. He was a brilliant vocalist and was a fussbudget in his art. He was diligent in his pursuits, and he acquired the best and most talented people to work alongside him. He was one of the most talented musicians that has ever existed. He was also a controversial figure and sensational news seemed to follow him around. Whether you believe the allegations made against him or not, his virtuoso is undeniable. He almost certainly had an unhealthy obsession with children, whether it was sexual or not is down to the individual to decide. It's perfectly plausible that you see it in the context that he was a grown-up man who favored the company of children, that he saw himself as an everlasting adolescent, and his actions were out of nothing more than love and devotion to children. In this context, I don't think it’s an overstatement to suggest he was fixated on adolescence to the point of being a disabled grown-up. In this book, we will look at his career, his love life, his relationship with his father and family, the media coverage, the criminal cases and accusations that followed him, and, ultimately, his death. ungekürzt.
