    In Deadly Combat: A German Soldier's Memoir of the Eastern Front , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 839min
    Wounded five times and awarded numerous decorations for valor, Gottlob Herbert Bidermann saw action in the Crimea and siege of Sebastopol, participated in the vicious battles in the forests south of Leningrad, and ended the war in the Courland Pocket. In his memoir, he shares his impressions of countless Russian POWs seen at the outset of his service, of peasants struggling to survive the hostilities while caught between two ruthless antagonists, and of corpses littering the landscape. He recalls a Christmas gift of gingerbread from home that overcame the stench of battle, an Easter celebrated with a basket of Russian hand grenades for eggs, and his miraculous survival of machine gun fire at close range. In closing, he relives the humiliation of surrender to an enemy whom the Germans had once derided and offers a sobering glimpse into life in the Soviet gulags. Bidermann's account debunks the myth of a highly mechanized German army that rolled over weaker opponents with impunity. Despite the vast expanses of territory captured by the Germans during the early months of Operation Barbarossa, the war with Russia remained tenuous and unforgiving. His story commits that living hell to the annals of World War II and broadens our understanding of its most deadly combat zone. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Woodson.

    FantasticLand: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min
    Since the 1970s, FantasticLand has been the theme park where "Fun is Guaranteed!" But when a hurricane ravages the Florida coast and isolates the park, the employees find it anything but fun. Five weeks later, the authorities who rescue the survivors encounter a scene of horror. Photos soon emerge online of heads on spikes outside of rides and viscera and human bones littering the gift shops, breaking records for hits, views, likes, clicks, and shares. How could a group of survivors, mostly teenagers, commit such terrible acts? Presented as a fact-finding investigation and a series of first-person interviews, FantasticLand pieces together the grisly series of events. Park policy was that the mostly college-aged employees surrender their electronic devices to preserve the authenticity of the FantasticLand experience. Cut off from the world and left on their own, the teenagers soon form rival tribes who viciously compete for food, medicine, social dominance, and even human flesh. This new social network divides the ravaged dreamland into territories ruled by the Pirates, the ShopGirls, the Freaks, and the Mole People. If meticulously curated online personas can replace private identities, what takes over when those constructs are lost? FantasticLand is a modern take on Lord of the Flies meets Battle Royale that probes the consequences of a social civilization built online. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The complete Bear Dating Agency series is here just for you! Includes the following stories and more: Dietrich: Elise Davenport was not having a good night. Just the day before she put her whole career on the line thanks to a few glasses of champagne. Loose lips can sink ships, and they can obliterate your social status. So here she was, stumbling through Fairhaven Park in pitch blackness, looking for the cabin she rented. She'd just hung up the phone with her agent when she heard the rumbling growl come from beside her. Not a good night at all.... Dietrich Best was trying to play it cool. The young lady now sitting next to his Gram looked him up and down, her eyes stopping on his washboard abs. But soon they made their way up, locking with his. She knew. Somehow she knew.... Ben: Layla Moss came out to the wilderness to get away from the everyday grind. A nice vacation away from all things involving the women's section at her department store was just what the doctor ordered. She enjoyed her job, and sometimes she got to help bumbling clueless men as they tried to buy something for the lady in their lives. But when her best friend set her up on a blind date with someone else out here in the cabins, Layla was the one who felt clueless. Ben Best has been called many things in his life. Very few of them were pleasant, but as a park ranger he knew what to expect. When you break up a party getting out of hand or bust someone for littering, they're going to throw some barbs at you. But he never expected to be called "pantyhose guy". Still, the pretty little lady had sass for days and there was something about that he found incredibly interesting.... ungekürzt.

    Last of the Dragon Warriors: A Will of Fire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 103min
    This is a fight to save the dragon clan.“Ready to go?”Mari sighs and nods, though she doesn’t look like she has much of a choice.The cell door slowly swings open, and the guard stands there, towering over her but offering no help as she struggles to her feet. She shuffles out, and the unflinching guard slaps a set of manacles onto her wrists, rather roughly.“Come on then.” He grunts, grabbing the small chain that linked both manacles together and dragging her along the narrow tunnel of the dungeon.She doesn’t say anything as they go, silently obeying the guard’s tugs as they climb several stairs before reaching a solid iron door that separates the dark prison from the world beyond. Metal screeches as the door swings open, and two more guards are waiting for them on the other side.“Get moving.” The first jailer grunts as he shoves her into the waiting pair.Still, she remains silent as she was escorted through the castle grounds, eyeing the destruction of its walls, the scorch marks that blacken its western side, and the general lack of life. This side of the citadel took the most damage, but the underground dungeon was undamaged.Slowly, they make their way through the ruined corridors. Large holes littering the ceiling allow the bright sun to filter through as they walk past hastily clear piles of rubble. Finally, Mari is brought out to the main courtyard, and she couldn't help but laugh. How hard did she fight to get to this place not three days ago, only now, to be all too happily dragged out here?After her stint in the blackness of the cells, the sun is almost too bright, and she’s near deafened by the roar of the gathering crowd, but she pays them no mind. Her attention is fully focused on the structure before her.The gallows.The two guards shove her forward hard enough to make her stumble. This is it, she thinks. This is the end of the line.Citizens of a land she ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Teckman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/170762/bk_acx0_170762_sample.mp3.

    Spider #13 October 1934: The Spider , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 277min
    By what strange twist of Fate did the fearful menace, which was to shadow every man and woman in New York City, first rear its venomous head in the distant Caribbean? When terror suddenly boarded a little tramp steamer and left crimson havoc littering its narrow decks, a spluttering wireless flashed the doom of every living thing aboard. Within a week, the same ghastly fate struck a gigantic new ocean liner, its luxurious cabins occupied by the elite and powerful of a dozen different nations! Death - swift and terrible - rode the ocean lanes. And the Spider - taken for once off guard - was supposedly dying in a hospital room on the very day when that terror from the seas first showed itself above the city skyline. How can the Spider, fighting death himself, help the nation he loves in her hour of greatest need? The great pulp magazines of the 1930s and '40s produced a number of heroes, but none as action oriented as the Spider. From October 1933 to December 1943, the Spider was the scourge of the underworld, doling out his own particular brand of justice and imprinting his dreaded red Spider seal on the foreheads of those he killed for the good of mankind. The Spider followed the established pulp pattern of a wealthy man-about-town, Richard Wentworth III, master of disguise, dilettante of the arts, in perfect physical condition, and completely devoted to the pursuit of justice for the downtrodden, no matter what the cost to himself or loved ones. Secretly donning a decrepit black hat, a tattered black cape, a false hunch to his shoulders, a lank wig of stringy hair, an application of sinister face makeup, and a pair of .45 automatics, Wentworth prowls the streets of New York as his Spider alter ego, chasing down criminal masterminds bent on enslaving or destroying humanity. Nick Santa Maria reads "Builders of the Black Empire" with all the intensity of his superb talent. Originally published in The Spider magazine, October 1934. /p ungekürzt. Language: English.
