    The best-laid plans often go awry... Kalugal watched the monitor, following the steps as the program ran through the lockdown protocol. Once the bunker was secure, he pulled his immortal captive's earpiece out of his pocket, put it in his ear, and tapped it to activate."Everyone listening can move and talk now. Good night.""Wait! What have you done with Arwel?"Kalugal paused with his finger a fraction of an inch away from the device.Should he disconnect? Or should he engage?A dilemma.On the one hand, he was eager to start questioning his captive, but on the other hand, this was an opportunity to talk with the team's commander and learn what he had in mind, as far as escalating things.Was the guy on the other side of the connection in charge of the operation? His quick recovery from compulsion indicated that he had a good head on his shoulders and a strong personality, which were both prerequisites for a command position. Most people would have needed several moments to collect their wits.This should be an interesting conversation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Lawrence.

    The White Moll is a crime novel by Frank L. Packard.Excerpt from the book: “It was like some shadowy pantomime: The dark mouth of an alleyway thrown into murky relief by the rays of a distant street lamp ... the swift, forward leap of a skulking figure... a girl’s form swaying and struggling in the man’s embrace. Then, a pantomime no longer, there came a half threatening, half triumphant oath; and then the girl’s voice, quiet, strangely contained, almost imperious: "Now, give me back that purse, please. Instantly!" The man, already retreating into the alleyway, paused to fling back a jeering laugh. "Say, youse’ve got yer nerve, ain’t youse!" The girl turned her head so that the rays of the street lamp, faint as they were, fell full upon her, disclosing a sweet, oval face, out of which the dark eyes gazed steadily at the man. And suddenly the man leaned forward, staring for an instant, and then his hand went awkwardly to touch his cap. “De White Moll!” he mumbled deferentially.” Language: English. Narrator: Lucy Fletcher.

    You're the sweetest girl in Mourning Dove Creek, you know? Jack mumbled as he paused in kissing Jilly a moment. Jilly smiled. "And you're the handsomest man in Mourning Dove Creek, you know," she flirted in return. Jack smiled. "I do know," he said. Jilly giggled. Jack Taylor was so predictable - and a little conceited. He really did think he was the handsomest man in Mourning Dove - and he was, for the most part. Secretly, however, if Jilly ever allowed herself to be completely honest about it (which she tried to avoid), there was one other man in Mourning Dove who always crossed her mind when the subject of the handsomest man in town arose. Yet there was no lingering on thinking of that man - no sirree! Not for a moment! Not for any reason - ever. And so Jilly just kept telling Jack that he was the handsomest man in Mourning Dove Creek. Besides, it was almost true - being that the other man lived outside of town and not right in town the way Jack did. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marcia Lynn McClure.

    Frog is back, and he has lost his glasses. He is excited when Allis and Elsa invite him to his first tea party. Allis and Elsa set up the tea party in the carport out of the rain, and Frog makes sure the tea party doesn't get boring.  "I am going to the carport," Allis said. "Would you like to join me?"  "Why sure," said Frog and leaped with joy into the nearest large puddle. He came up sputtering and swam to the edge. He turned immediately and leaped into the puddle again. I paused while the umbrella caused the water to splash off in every direction but on me, thankfully, and watched as he resurfaced, swam to the edge, and leaped into the puddle again. "Oh, drats!" he exclaimed as he came up to the surface.  "Whatever are you doing?" I asked him, puzzled.  "I've lost my glasses somewhere, and I may never find them. I think I lost them in this puddle," he said.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leslie Gray Robbins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/101351/bk_acx0_101351_sample.mp3.

    I wish you would stop moaning and put that tongue to a better use than talking! For a fraction of a second only, Emily paused, then she was fluttering her eyelids, "Yes Mistress." Grinning, Rita swung her legs up onto the bed and reaching out she grasped a handful of her lover's hair, kissing her hard upon the mouth for a moment, sucking her tongue in between her lips, fighting it with her own before she gave a lusty snarl into Emily's face, "You are such a gorgeous little slut aren't you?" "I don't know, I just want to serve you Mistress," came the reply, drawing another lusty chuckle from the pink haired beauty as she laid back and stretched her legs out on the bed, thighs wide. "Put that tongue to work...I need to relax!" "Yes mistress." Emily crawled between the tanned legs of Rita, her fingertips dragging down the woman's pink lace panties before she folded them and placed them at the foot of the bed nicely. ungekürzt.

    Paulie jerked his pants up angrily. You lied to me. You told me that they knew and they were cool with it. With us." "Paulie, I know you're pissed. But-" "But nothing man! You lied to me. How can you say you love me when you lied?" "Please," I whispered. "Don't go. Not yet. Let's talk." He paused at the door but kept his back to me. "You wanna talk? Fine. I have a lie of my own. I'm no virgin. I just said that to you so I could get in your pants. I can never be with you. You don't even have the guts to stand up to your parents and tell them their baby boy likes guys." "Paulie, wait-" I was afraid he'd go, and all hell was going to break loose with my parents. I grabbed his arm. "Stay. Or we can go somewhere." But he wouldn't listen. He jerked from my grasp. "F--k you, Elliot. Don't call me again." I blew out a breath. Ethan had no f--king idea about..." Warning: This content is not suitable for all ages. 18+ ungekürzt. Language: English.

    World changes come fast and furious, and in the backcountry it is no different. The practice of "packing-it-out" - adopted to protect high-use areas and fragile ecosystems - is here to stay. We are now often urged or even required to haul our poop home. To assist with all this responsible human waste disposal, Kathleen Meyer discusses the latest in product innovations, from classy high-tech to inexpensive do-it-yourself. She covers the most current solutions to the health risks of drinking straight from wilderness waterways, presents a raft of natural substitutes for the purist swearing off toilet tissue, and offers a wealth of new recommendations for ladies who must make do without a loo. In rowing hundreds of urbanites down whitewater rivers, Meyer honed her squatting skills. Her delightfully shameless discussion of a once-shameful activity, her erudite examination of its associated vocabulary, and her unapologetic promotion of its colorful vernacular make How to Shit in the Woods essential - and vastly entertaining - listening for anyone who has ever paused at the edge of the forest and pondered: "Where do I go to go?" ungekürzt.

    She took two more steps and paused - squeezed her eyes tightly shut - and Ember gasped as she looked forward up the shore to see a man struggling in the water. He was coughing - spitting water from his mouth as he crawled from the water and onto the sand. As he collapsed face-down on the shore, Ember lifted her skirt and ran toward the man, dropping to her knees beside him. "Sir?" she cried, nudging one broad shoulder. The man was stripped of his shirt - dressed only in a pair of trousers - no shoes... Ember shook her head, rolling her eyes at her own foolishness. "Sir?" she called again, nudging his broad shoulder once more. The man lay on his stomach - his face turned away from her. "Are you dead, sir?" she asked. Placing a hand to his back, she sighed with relief as she felt he yet breathed. "Sir?" she said, clambering over the man's broad torso. The man coughed. His eyes opened - his deep blue eyes, so shaded by thick, wet lashes that Ember wondered how it was he could see beyond them. "Sir?" Ember ventured. He coughed, asking, "Where am I?" "On the seashore, sir," Ember answered. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marcia Lynn McClure. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/049913/bk_acx0_049913_sample.mp3.
