Audiobook Cover for Capture or Kill by Vince FlynnCapture or Kill by Don Bentley ~ April 2011: On a remote mountaintop overlooking the remains of the Iranian nuclear weapons program, Azad Ashani witnesses a Quds Force demonstration of a capability meant to upend America’s war in the Middle East.  Ashani, director of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security and Irene Kennedy’s former back channel to the Iranian government, recognizes the demonstration’s true significance, and the nation-ending conflict it will provoke.  Alone, Ashani stand no chance of preventing this rush to madness.  But with the help of one man, he just might.  In Washington, DC, CIA director Irene Kennedy briefs the president that the operational window to kill or capture Osama bin Laden at his recently discovered compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, is rapidly closing.  But before he’ll authorize a commando raid on Pakistani soil, the president demands irrefutable proof of bin Laden’s presence.  Proof he trusts just one man to provide.  Preventing a looming war in the Middle East while delivering justice for the nearly 3,000 Americans killed on 9/11 would be a big ask for anyone.  But Mitch Rapp isn’t just anyone.

 

Audiobook for How to End A Love Story by Yulin KuangHow to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang ~ Helen Zhang hasn’t seen Grant Shepard once in the thirteen years since the tragic accident that bound their lives together forever.  Now a bestselling author, Helen pours everything into her career.  She’s even scored a coveted spot in the writers’ room of the TV adaptation of her popular young adult novels, and if she can hide her imposter syndrome and overcome her writer’s block, surely the rest of her life will fall into place too.  LA is the fresh start she needs.  After all, no one knows her there.  Except… Grant has done everything in his power to move on from the past, including building a life across the country.  And while the panic attacks have never quite gone away, he’s well liked around town as a screenwriter. He knows he shouldn’t have taken the job on Helen’s show, but it will open doors to developing his own projects that he just can’t pass up. Grant’s exactly as Helen remembers him–charming, funny, popular, and lovable in ways that she’s never been. And Helen’s exactly as Grant remembers too-brilliant, beautiful, closed off.  But working together is messy, and electrifying, and Helen’s parents, who have never forgiven Grant, have no idea he’s in the picture at all.  When secrets come to light, they must reckon with the fact that theirs was never meant to be any kind of love story.  And yet… the key to making peace with their past–and themselves–might just lie in holding on to each other in the present.

Audiobook Cover for The Art of Power by Nancy PelosiThe Art of Power: My Story as America’s First Woman Speaker of the House by Nancy Pelosi ~ Pelosi describes for the first time what it takes to make history–not only as the first woman to ascend to the most powerful legislative role in our nation, but to pass laws that would save lives and and livelihoods, from the emergency rescue of the econony in 2008 to transforming health care. She describes the perseverance, persuasion, and respect for her members that it took to succeed, but also the joy of seeing America change for the better.  Among the best-prepared and hardest working Speakers in history, Pelosi worked to find common ground, or stand her ground, with presidents from Bush to Biden.  She also shares moving moments with soldiers sent to the front lines, women who inspired her, and human rights activists who fought by her side.  Pelosi took positions that established her as a prophetic voice on the major moral issues of the day, warning early about the dangers of the Iraq War and the Chinese government’s long record of misbehavior.  This moral coursed prepared her for the arrival of Trump, with whom she famously tangled, becoming a red-coated symbol of resistance to his destructive presidency.  Here, she reveals how she went toe-to-toe with Trump, leading up to January 6, 2021, when he unleashed his post-election fury on the Congress. Pelosi gives us her personal account of that day: the assault not only on the symbol of our democracy but on the men and women who had come to serve the nation, never expecting to hide under desks or flee for their lives–and her determined efforts to get the National Guard to the Capitol.  Nearly two years later, violence and fury would erupt inside Pelosi’s own home when an intruder, demanding to see the Speaker, viciously attacked her beloved husand, Paul.  Here, Pelosi shares that horrifying day and the traumatic aftermath for her and her family. The Art of Power is about the fighting spirit that has always animated her, and the historic legacy that spirit has produced.
