    Blood Queen: Blood Destiny, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 641min
    Thousands of Copper Ra'Ak fought throughout Veshtul, killing many as they lashed out or crushing others as they crawled along. Screaming Comesuli ran before them, desperate to escape the deadly creatures. In the distance, a dragon's roar sounded as he fought off one of the monsters. Three other dragons fought beside him; I saw them as they charged their prey - a black dragon, a silver dragon and a gold dragon. Others were fighting Ra'Ak as well; a black gryphon fought alongside a huge snow leopard. Giant birds swept the sky, screaming in anger as Ra'Ak leapt at them, attempting to sink rows of deadly teeth into feathered flesh. Lissa has been transported 300 years into the future to save the High Demon world and the Saa Thalarr. But what she doesn't understand is that they aren't the only things she is meant to protect. The balance - and survival of all worlds - rests in her hands. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Traci Odom. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/046337/bk_acx0_046337_sample.mp3.

    Seven days in hellIn June 1944, the Allies launched a massive amphibious invasion against Nazi-held France. But under the cover of darkness, a new breed of fighting man leapt from airplanes through a bullet-stitched, tracer-lit sky to go behind German lines. These were the Screaming Eagles of the newly formed 101st Airborne Division. Their job was to strike terror into the Nazi defenders, delay reinforcements, and kill any enemy soldiers they met. In the next seven days, the men of the 101st fought some of the most ferocious close-quarter combat in all of World War II.Now, Donald R.

    The Making of a Blockbuster, Hörbuch, Digital, 324min
    How Wayne Huizenga Built a Sports and Entertainment Empire from Trash, Grit, and Videotape Thirty-five years ago, Wayne Huizenga rose before the sun to run his garbage-collection route. Today, the sun never sets on the international Blockbuster Video empire he created, and he has emerged from the spoils of the Paramount/Viacom merger one of the most powerful and wealthy figures in the entertainment and sports businesses. The Making of a Blockbuster explores Huizenga's strategy, management style, and deal-making acumen as it traces the evolution of his business empire through a quirky string of profitable ventures. Under Huizenga's guidance, Blockbuster grew from 19 stores to a chain of more than 3,700. And annual revenues leapt from $7 million to $2.6 billion. Huizenga is also the innovative owner of the Miami Dolphins, Florida Marlins, the Florida Panthers, and of Miami's Joe Robbie Stadium. And he has proposed a 2,500-acre sports and entertainment complex in Florida called Blockbuster Park - and aptly nicknamed Wayne's World. Where he'll turn next is anyone's guess, but it is sure to make headlines. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Campanella.

    Dispatches from the Pacific: The World War II Reporting of Robert L. Sherrod , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 513min
    In the fall of 1943, armed with only his notebooks and pencils, Time and Life correspondent Robert L. Sherrod leapt from the safety of a landing craft and waded through neck-deep water and a hail of bullets to reach the shores of the Tarawa atoll with the US Marine Corps. Living shoulder to shoulder with the marines, Sherrod chronicled combat and the marines' day-to-day struggles as they leapfrogged across the Central Pacific, battling the Japanese on Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. While the marines courageously and doggedly confronted an enemy that at times seemed invincible, those left behind on the American home front desperately scanned Sherrod's columns for news of their loved ones. After Sherrod's death in 1994, the Washington Post heralded his reporting as "some of the most vivid accounts of men at war ever produced by an American journalist." Now, for the first time, Ray E. Boomhower tells Sherrod's story in this intimate account of the Pacific front war efforts. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Barrett.

    Evolution 2.0: Breaking the Deadlock Between Darwin and Design , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min
    When his missionary brother renounced faith in favor of atheism, Perry Marshall was plunged into crisis and doubt. He decided: “I”m going to let science make this decision for me.” He asked: “Is the hand at the end of my arm purposeful? Or is it purposeless?” He leapt into the void of evolution and the origin of life. He could not have begun to anticipate what he was about to discover. Living things were far more sophisticated than textbooks were saying. Nearly every cell in your body can edit its own DNA, combating random destructive copying errors, charting a path for its transformation. Evolution 2.0 pinpoints the central mystery of biology, offering a $10 million technology prize at naturalcode.org to the first person who can solve it - staffed by judges from Harvard, Oxford, and MIT. In this book you’ll find 70+ years of under-reported evolutionary science, including a great many women scientists whose work was sidelined and ignored...even Nobel Prizes that hint at possibilities modern science is only beginning to consider. ungekürzt.

    His Grace of Osmonde, Hörbuch, Digital, 739min
    His Grace of Osmonde (1897) is a historical satire by Frances Hodgson Burnett.Excerpt from the book:"Upon the village of Camylott there had rested since the earliest peep of dawn a hush of affectionate and anxious expectancy, the very plough-boys going about their labours without boisterous laughter, the children playing quietly, and the good wives bustling less and modulating the sharpness of their voices, the most motherly among them in truth finding themselves falling into whispering as they gossiped of the great subject of the hour. "The swallows were but just beginning to stir when I heard the horses' hoofs a-clatter," said Dame Watt to her neighbour as they stood in close confab in her small front garden. "Lord's mercy! though I have lain down expecting it every night for a week, the heart of me leapt up in my throat and I jounced Gregory with a thump in his back to wake him from his snoring. 'Gregory,' cries I, "tis sure begun. God be kind to her young Grace this day." Language: English. Narrator: Helen Smith.
