Sarah Tries to Save the World: A Post-Apocalyptic Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 238min
The entire land is wasted away. Acrid smoke billows from every corner of the Earth. There are decimated houses, screaming children, crying women, and mass devastation. The dead walk the Earth and the living look more and more like the dead every day. Yet scarier than all the noise is when an eerie silence creeps up on former cities, when there are no more people to cry or houses to destroy. Meanwhile, vicious people-turned-monsters created by a horrible mistake prowl the Earth, ready to silence even more people. Sorry. I probably sound a little bit too dark. The name's Sarah Sindile. And I'm one of the people who have survived the atomic bombs and plagues of World War III. Now, I'm determined to survive the next sets of catastrophes. Tsunamis, earthquakes, and hurricanes are nothing compared to what's happening. We are being silenced, slowly but surely, until no one will be left. I have to try and save the world. ungekürzt.

Marathon: The Battle That Changed Western Civilization , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
Published to coincide with Marathon's 2500th anniversary, a riveting history of the historic battle. The Battle of Marathon in 490 B.C. is not only understood as the most decisive event in the struggle between the Greeks and the Persians, but can also be seen as perhaps the most significant moment in our collective history. 10,000 Athenian citizens faced a Persian military force of more than 25,000. A Greek victory appeared impossible, but the men of Athens were tenacious and the Persians were defeated. Following the battle, the Athenian hoplite army ran 26.5 miles from Marathon to Athens to defend their port from the Persian navy. Although they had just run the great distance in heavy armor, the Athenians won the battle and drove the Persian forces from Attica. Greek freedom ensued and the achievements of the culture became much of the basis for Western civilization. In this comprehensive and engrossing treatment with 27 illustrations and 5 maps, Richard Billows captures the drama of that day 2500 years ago and the ramifications it has had throughout Western history. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeremy Gage.

A Facet for the Gem: The Tale of Eaglefriend, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min
In a land of eagle-riding knights, bloodthirsty beasts, and a ruthless prince, no border is safe for long. And as smoke billows from the only blockade standing between the great city of Korindelf and certain doom, young Morlen races to escape the inevitable siege. Thrust from the chaos with thousands of snapping jaws on his trail, he discovers that the abilities he's buried all his life are awakening - and it could not have happened at a worse time. War has come, and he doesn't dare rely on his untested talents after stealing the coveted Goldshard, which makes strength and invincibility just a panicked whisper away. His dependency on it carries him through many dangers, until it becomes an enemy far worse than those he must fight hand-to-hand. And the allies he meets on his quest are just as troubled: a legendary warrior too afraid to leave his sheltered paradise, a wizard tormented by his past, and a disgraced king who has lost any hope of saving his people. A Facet for the Gem is a coming-of-age fantasy that brings Morlen from distant kingdoms to sprawling airborne battles, into the fiery breath of a stony dragon and side-by-side with a lady knight who is the last person in need of rescue. Follow him as his epic adventures culminate in a final showdown against swords, fangs, and greatest of all: his own fear. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Foster.

Le Mont Saint-Michel: The History and Legacy of France's Most Famous Island Commune , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
Fans of the Lord of the Rings franchise instantly fell in love with the brooding but majestic Minas Tirith, the mesmerizing entity boasting looming stone towers on every level. As with most brilliant works of art, a muse or source of inspiration was responsible. In this case, it is said that the magical city and circular fortress had been inspired by one very real island - the legendary Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France. The same island makes an appearance, complete with exquisitely rendered layouts, in the hit video games Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Revelations. Resting on the cradle of a rock formation 264 feet above ground, in the heart of a 97-hectare island on the coast and border of Normandy and Brittany, Mont Saint-Michel features a glorious cathedral atop a mighty mountain. Upon closer inspection, one notices the floating multilevel town that lies underneath it. Even from miles away, the picturesque view of the island emits an ethereal aura, set against the backdrop of the radiant coral-pink horizon. It looks straight out of a fantastical reverie as the church towers and its striking spire cast their reflection onto the glass-like surface of the blue-green bay. As spell-binding as the island appears, it is equally toxic, impregnated with thick billows of fog making for difficult vision, volatile quicksand pits that could snag one's feet in a split second, and of course, its notorious tides. ungekürzt.

The Expendable: The True Story of Patrol Wing 10, Pt Squadron 3, and a Navy Corpsman who Refused to Surrender when the Philippine Islands Fell to Japan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1024min
As smoke billows skyward from Pearl Harbor, Japan throws its full military might against the outnumbered and under-equipped Filipino forces. Admiral Hart sends his US Asiatic Fleet south, to the safety of Allied waters. When remnants of PBY Patrol Wing 10 depart with the fleet, Charles Beckner, corpsman for Squadron 102, is left behind with no apparent avenue for escape. Under relentless pressure from Japanese forces, American and Filipino troops retreat down the Bataan Peninsula. Sick with malaria and dysentery and out of food and ammunition, surrender is imminent for those who survive. Charles joins Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 3 as machine gunner and corpsman on PT-34. After two months of fighting along the Bataan coast, Squadron 3 is tasked with a critical, covert mission that once more leaves Charles stranded, this time on the southern Philippine island of Cebu. As the Japanese noose tightens, Charles makes his way to the island of Mindanao and joins other sailors and soldiers preparing for guerrilla resistance. His plans are interrupted by new orders that will unexpectedly reunite him with crewmen of his old seaplane squadron. With advancing Japanese troops only minutes away, there is one possibility for escape. It is risky, and failure will be fatal. "Highly readable narrative of personal courage from PBYs to PT boats John Floyd has done an admirable job of preserving the stories of his father-in-law in a fast-paced and highly readable narrative. Originally assigned as a Navy corpsman to a PBY patrol wing, Charles Beckner was not only on Corregidor with MacArthur, but also in the chaos of the start of the war in the Pacific he ended up in the PT-boat squadron that evacuated the general from the Philippines. Highly recommended as the story of one family’s sacrifices well told in the context of the broader war."

Asteroid Impact! Revelation Foretells Our End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 250min
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth... (Revelation 6:13) An asteroid will destroy mankind just as one destroyed the dinosaurs. The Book of Revelation in the Bible reveals this destiny: "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood." (Revelation 6:12) Matthew supports this: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken." (Matthew 29) Joel states: “I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord." (Joel 2:30-31) Isaiah states: "And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth." (Isaiah 2:19) An ancient document was found and its basic message is that mankind will be destroyed by an asteroid hitting Earth. The end can occur at any time. To understand and assess the truth of this, Asteroid Impact: Revelation Foretells Our End reviews the purpose of Revelation, who wrote it, and why and how it was written. The book explores the scientific facts upon which the predictions of the Bible are based and analyzes the history of asteroid impacts on Earth in order to assess the accuracy of Biblical predictions. We see that Revelation’s foretelling will almost surely come to pass, for there was war in heaven: "Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven."
