  • GHOSTS by G X Todd, read by Nick Landrum - audiobook extract
    The heart-stopping conclusion to the highly acclaimed Voices series, where there is no place left to hide and nowhere else to run.
    Seven years ago, the voices came. Some people could hear, and others despised them for it. As death and destruction spread, a ghostly figure was waiting in the shadows. Now the Flitting Man is ready to show his face - and no one is safe.
    Pilgrim was made for this broken world. He's chosen his path and will stop at nothing to see it through.
    Lacey grew up in this changing world. She's lost almost everything to the Flitting Man, but her fight isn't over yet.
    Albus sees this world as others cannot. And the friends that he's kept safe are facing terrible danger.
    Addison belongs to a very different world. She might just be the future, if she survives....

    Pippa Gallagher is rushed in to hospital following a traffic accident.
    As Pippa lies unconscious, she is aware of fragments. The day she met Steve Gallagher, her best friend and the man who would become the love of her life. The heartbreak she felt tonight as she got into her car, her eyes blurry from tears.
    Meanwhile Steve sits at her bedside, his eyes fixed on her pale, still face. He has no idea where his wife was going when she crashed. No clue as to why she became distracted behind the wheel. All he knows is that she is his world. And that he wasn't there when she needed him most.
    For the next twelve hours, Steve tells Pippa all the reasons he loves her.
    But is it too late? Can Pippa find her way back to him?

  • SKYJACK by K. J. Howe, read by Katherine Fenton - audiobook extract
    The electrifying sequel to The Freedom Broker, featuring Thea Paris, a kidnap and ransom specialist. For Thea, kidnap is always personal - her brother's life was nearly ruined when he was taken as a child. Lisa Gardner says The Freedom Broker is 'clever and gritty', and Peter James calls it 'spellbinding'. If you like David Baldacci's King and Maxwell series, you will love this.
    When Thea Paris' flight is hijacked over the Libyan Desert, her first priority is the two former child soldiers she is escorting to a new life in London.
    As an international kidnap specialist, Thea Paris negotiates for hostage release as part of her job. She knows one wrong move could lead to deadly consequences.
    After she is forcibly separated from the boys and the other passengers, Thea and her tactical team quickly regroup. And in their desperate search for the hostages that follows, they unearth a conspiracy involving the CIA, the Vatican and the Sicilian Mafia and a plot far more sinister than Thea could ever have imagined.
