The Collective Protocol , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 421min
Paige Watkins is a telepath who can control the minds of those around her. When a cabal of devious Canadian politicians learns of her abilities, The Collective Protocol is born. Its mission is to destabilize their troublesome southern neighbor and erstwhile partner while increasing international Canadian influence and expanding their national borders. Her gifts are magnified using cutting-edge technology, allowing her to inflict heavy damage upon the country of her birth as she orchestrates widespread wildlife attacks, uprisings among the homeless, and succeeds in turning Americans against the police, who seem possessed by demons as they strike out against law-abiding citizens. Several of the incidents seem to swirl around Washington, DC, native Reagan Lockhart, causing the lead investigator from the FBI's Unorthodox Crimes department to conclude that she is somehow involved.

Peaches for Monsieur le Curé: Chocolat, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 801min
It isn't often you receive a letter from the dead. When Vianne Rocher receives a letter from beyond the grave, she has no choice but to follow the wind that blows her back to Lansquenet, the village in south-west France where, eight years ago, she opened up a chocolate shop. But Vianne is completely unprepared for what she finds there. Women veiled in black, the scent of spices and peppermint tea, and there, on the bank of the river Tannes, facing the square little tower of the church of Saint-Jerôme like a piece on a chessboard - slender, bone-white and crowned with a silver crescent moon - a minaret. Nor is it only the incomers from North Africa that have brought big changes to the community. Father Reynaud, Vianne's erstwhile adversary, is now disgraced and under threat. Could it be that Vianne is the only one who can save him? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rula Lenska, Gareth Armstrong.

American Love Songs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 409min, (USK 18)
Jake Brenner has too many wild oats to sow to fall in love - or so he claims. Besides, he's much too busy with his band, the Wayward Sons, to go looking for romance. His reticence has nothing to do with his embarrassing crush on Chris, the band's lead singer and Jake's erstwhile best friend. But that was before enigmatic wanderer Parker McAvoy signed on as the band's new lead guitarist. He can only deny his attraction to sweet, dorky Parker for so long before the urge to do something about it becomes impossible to ignore. The trouble is, Parker knows all about Jake's philandering ways - and oh, yeah, he's not gay. Or so Jake thinks until a string of related events provides encouraging new insight. Can he convince Parker to overlook his colorful past and give him a chance? Or will this love song fade out before it even begins? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Crisden.

The Devil Loves Me (eBook, ePUB)
Psychologist-detective Paul Prye is getting married-or at least he would be if one of the bridesmaids didn't collapse in the middle of the ceremony. It's a case of poison-Prye knows because when he goes to look for the ring he finds instead a note left by the would-be murderer. But who would want to kill silly, sweet Jane, the bride's simple-minded if somewhat nymphomaniac cousin? Is it possible Jane was not the intended target? The ultra-dry Toronto police detective investigating, Inspector Sands, has reason to suspect Paul Prye himself, not least because the bridegroom was able to correctly guess the poison used and tell the hospital in time to employ an antidote and save the girl's life. Any such suspicions are dispelled when another member of the wedding party goes missing. The bride's family is thick with secret romances and grudges, which come to light one by one. Disaster is at hand-and not just because the erstwhile bride and groom have received fifteen coffee tables as gifts. Perhaps together the two detectives-the policeman and the psychiatrist-can solve the riddle before the bodies begin to pile up.- Shop: buecher

The Book of Joan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 430min
In the near future, world wars have transformed the earth into a battleground. Fleeing the unending violence and the planet's now-radioactive surface, humans have regrouped to a mysterious platform known as CIEL, hovering over their erstwhile home. The changed world has turned evolution on its head: the surviving humans have become sexless, hairless, pale-white creatures floating in isolation, inscribing stories upon their skin. Out of the ranks of the endless wars rises Jean de Men, a charismatic and bloodthirsty cult leader who turns CIEL into a quasi-corporate police state. A group of rebels unite to dismantle his iron rule - galvanised by the heroic song of Joan, a child-warrior who possesses a mysterious force that lives within her. A riveting tale of destruction and love found in the direst of places, Lidia Yuknavitch's The Book of Joan raises questions about what it means to be human, the fluidity of sex and gender, and the role of art as a means for survival. It's a genre-defying masterpiece that may very well rewire your brain. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Xe Sands.
