    Round Mountain: The Trail of Blood on Ice, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 468min
    Not many know of the Five Civilized Tribes involvement in the US Civil War. This story is the second of The Trail of Blood on Ice trilogy that is not intended to be a war story, but in order to tell of the characters life and times it must be presented in a war setting. Some of the characters are real as are their actions, but there are also fictionalized Indians, soldiers, lawmen, madams, and cowboys. I hope that you enjoy the listening as much as I have the writing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Hennessy.

    Flashman and Madison's War: Adventures of Thomas Flashman Series, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 694min
    This book finds Thomas Flashman, a British army officer, landing on the shores of the United States at the worst possible moment - just when the United States has declared war with Britain! Having already endured enough with his earlier adventures, he desperately wants to go home but finds himself drawn inexorably into this new conflict. He is soon dodging musket balls, arrows, and tomahawks as he desperately tries to keep his scalp intact and on his head. It is an extraordinary tale of an almost forgotten war, with inspiring leaders, incompetent commanders, a future American president, terrifying warriors (and their equally intimidating women), brave sailors, trigger-happy madams, and a girl in a wet dress who could have brought a city to a standstill. Flashman plays a central role and reveals that he was responsible for the disgrace of one British general, the capture of another, and for one of the biggest debacles in British military history. ungekürzt.

    L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America's Most Seductive City , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1020min
    The epic struggle for control of Los Angeles and the history of the 30s, 40s, and 50s in America's dream city. Now the Fox UK TV series Mob City.Mid-century Los Angeles. A city sold to the world as 'the white spot of America', a land of sunshine and orange groves, wholesome Midwestern values and Hollywood stars, protected by the world's most famous police force, the Dragnet-era LAPD. Behind this public image lies a hidden world of 'pleasure girls' and crooked cops, ruthless newspaper tycoons, corrupt politicians, and East Coast gangsters on the make. Into this underworld came two men - one L.A.'s most notorious gangster, the other its most famous police chief - each prepared to battle the other for the soul of the city. The Mob had to contend with downtown business (the Chandlers, of LA Times fame), City Hall, and above all the LAPD - and the story is gripping. In these pages you will find the kind of gangsters, cops, pols, and madams familiar from The Big Sleep, Chinatown, and LA Confidential - only this time it's non-fiction, a serious portrait of how the 20th century's most dangerously unaccountable, intrusive model of pre-emptive policing got started. It's a story with great resonance today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirby Heybourne. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/orio/000652/bk_orio_000652_sample.mp3.
