The Paper Moon: Inspector Montalbano, Book 9 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 373min

The Paper Moon is the thrilling ninth instalment in the Inspector Montalbano series by Italian author Andrea Camilleri. Motionless, Montalbano waited for the surf to enter his brain and wash it clean with each breaker. At last the first light wave came like a caress, swiiissshhh, and carried away, glugluglug, Elena Sclafani and her beauty while Michela Pardo's tits, belly, arched body and eyes likewise disappeared. Once Montalbano the man was erased, all that should remain was Inspector Montalbano - a kind of abstract function of the person who was supposed to solve the case and nothing more, with no personal feelings involved. But as he was telling himself this, he knew perfectly well that he could never pull it off. As he gets older, Inspector Montalbano is plagued by existential questions. But he doesn't have much time to wax philosophical before the gruesome murder of a man - shot in the face at point-blank range with his pants down - commands his attention. Add two evasive beautiful women as prime suspects, dirty cocaine, dead politicians, mysterious computer codes and a series of threatening letters, and things soon get very complicated at the police headquarters in Vigàta. Paper Moon is followed by the 10th audiobook in the Inspector Montalbano series, August Heat. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Meadows.

When Force Meets Fate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 519min

A memoir of a healthy young man who survives a fatal car crash only to be plagued by a mysterious illness that robs him of the ability to walk, talk, and eat solid food. When Force Meets Fate is a captivating, transcendent survival story that forces all of us to reckon with our mortality and the fragility of life. At age 22, Jamison Hill was a fitness instructor who could lift more than 400 pounds. Five years later, after surviving a tragic car accident that killed the other driver, a rare disease left Jamison bedridden and too weak to hold a water glass. He spent every day lying motionless in bed, his body paralyzed by pain and fatigue, his mind hijacked by flashes of crunched metal, broken windshields, and exploding gas tanks. After months of not being able to speak or eat, Jamison's health finally improved and he began to tell his story. When Force Meets Fate is an unflinching exploration of the human condition, notably how our strengths and limitations shape our identities and how unexpected events can inevitably alter our perceptions. It's a story of perseverance - of sheer will and unrelenting fight - but also of overcoming life's toughest challenges through the power of vulnerability and how freeing it can be to surrender to the unpredictability of circumstances out of our control. ungekürzt.

The Silver Ship and the Sea: Silver Ship, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 958min

The colony planet Fremont is joyous, riotous, and very wild. Its grasses can cut your arms and legs to ribbons, the rinds of its precious fruit can skewer your thumbs, and some of the predators are bigger than humans. Meteors fall from the sky and volcanoes erupt. Fremont is verdant, rich, beautiful, and dangerous. Fremont’s single town, Artistos, perches on a cliff below rugged mountains. Below Artistos lie the Grass Plains, which lead down to the sea. And in the middle of the Grass Plains, a single silver spaceship lies quiet and motionless. The seasons do not dull it, nor do the winds scratch it - and the fearful citizens of Artistos won't go near it. Chelo Lee, her brother Joseph, and four other young children have been abandoned on the colony planet. Unfortunate events have left them orphaned in a human colony that abhors genetic engineering - and these six young people are genetically enhanced. With no one to turn to, Chelo and the others must now learn how to use their distinct skills to make this unwelcome planet home - or find a way off it. They have few tools - an old crazy woman who wanders the edges of town, spouting out cryptic messages; their appreciation and affection for each other; a good dose of curiosity; and that abandoned silver space ship that sits locked and alone in the middle of the vast grass plain. ungekürzt.

Where Eagles Soar: Venturing with God in Tough Places , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 542min

Have you ever watched an eagle soar? Picture one now, gliding motionless on the thermal winds, far above the gusts that whip the surface of the earth. His movement is most graceful when he yields to the flow of the currents and lets them carry him. That's the way it is with Christians, says Jamie Buckingham, when we relinquish our lives to the movement of God's spirit. With biblical examples like Moses, Joshua, and David, and with graphic testimony of his own experiences, Jamie Buckingham shows the consequence of resisting God's presence in the innermost recesses of our lives...and the almost indescribable changes that come when we yield to him. Here is a book that shows you how your life with Christ can move beyond just being a memory of a salvation experience. If you let him, God can and will lift you from your present existence and start you on a venture Where Eagles Soar. Jamie Buckingham (1932-1992) was one of the most widely read Christian authors of his time. He served in various editorial capacities with Guideposts, Logos Journal, Charisma, and Ministries Today magazines. He authored over 45 books, including some for well-known public figures such as Kathryn Kuhlman, Corrie ten Boom, Pat Robertson, and others. Buckingham was a leading figure in the Charismatic Movement of the 1970s and 1980s. He was senior pastor of a large interdenominational church in Melbourne, FL. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A few moments passed and the unlikely two stood motionless in the elevator, she slumped against the metal wall, and he standing erect and tense, examining her slender body. He was certain that she could hear his heart beating furiously as his thoughts ran wild and he considered pressing his body against hers, running his hand up her neck and jaw, and kissing her full lips.

Killing President Lincoln , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 33min

Have you ever wanted to know more about history, but don't have time for the long version? This book brings you a short account of the Lincoln Assassination. In less than 60 minutes you will meet the key players, learn the pertinent facts of Booth's plot, and discover the fate of the individual conspirators. Lincoln's bodyguard that night was John Parker, an undistinguished Washington, D.C. policeman. Parker was supposed to be stationed in the little passageway outside of the entrance to the Presidential Box guarding Lincoln. Apparently Parker abandoned his post several times during the performance, once to watch the play from the first gallery, and after the intermission he disappeared altogether with Lincoln's footman and coachman to visit a nearby tavern. As a result, the Presidential Box was left unattended when Booth arrived. Booth crept in through the unguarded door. After entering the passageway to the Presidential Box, he grabbed the block of wood Spangler left there for him, and barred the doorway shut. From there he moved down the passageway, coming upon the two doors to the box Lincoln was in. At 10:20 PM Booth peeked in through the door with his Derringer raised and leveled. He fired a ball into the back of President Lincoln's head. Lincoln slumped forward, motionless. Inside the box it was clouded with white smoke from the powder and shot. Mary Lincoln let out a screech when she realized what happened. Major Henry A. Rathbone jumped to his feet and began struggling with Booth. Booth lashed out at him with his dagger. He thrust at Rathbone's heart. Moving quickly Rathbone parried the blow with his arm. The dagger dug several inches deep into his arm, and tore into his chest. Booth broke free and attempted to escape. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Rieman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/028562/bk_acx0_028562_sample.mp3.

The Long Journey Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 69min

The autumn wind of an Indiana night blows across the cemetery. It plays a malevolent, whistling tune through the trees of the cemetery as Peter Baker stands motionless, surveying the soft, brown earth that holds his beloved wife, Veronica. Tears well up in his eyes as he gazes down upon the inscription on her gravestone. He comes here a lot now, reminiscing over all the good times he had with Veronica, and their private conversations. An aspiring poet, something she wrote for him still haunts his dreams at night: this I will remember when the rest of life is through, the finest thing I have ever done was simply loving you. The feelings he'd had to endure - anger, abandonment, denial, disbelief, social withdrawl, and then even guilt - made him feel powerless over his own destiny. And crimes like these - unexpected, violent, and forever - are hard enough to bear without the fact that the victim's killer has yet to be brought to justice. But now Peter has crossed over the edge of his normally moral ground and intends to kill the man responsible for his wife's death. Once a God-fearing man, he will now embark on a personal vendetta to commit murder - in spite of the obvious and long lasting effect it will have on his mind, heart, and most of all, his soul. Will Peter toss aside his faith in God and take another's life, or will he realize that possibly spending the rest of his life behind bars isn't worth the few moments of satisfaction he'd gain from taking another man's life, to fall from grace with God? In The Long Journey Home, author David Boyer provides a glimpse into the wounded soul of a man who believes that personal revenge may be the only way to find his way back to God. ungekürzt.

The Prisoner: He's About to Learn What Real Punishment Is Like , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 94min, (USK 18)

Newly sentenced felon Neal Landon reads the gut-wrenching punishment manual for the Life Sentence Diversion and Rehabilitation Program. If he chooses to enter the program, he'll be given to a handler whose sole duty is to punish him, and train him. Can he endure the harsh punishments outlined in the manual in exchange for his eventual freedom? Read the rules for prisoners and the punishment manual for handlers along with him. Among other things, the manual includes a 6-part guide to beatings: restraint on the rack, implements, intervals, the standard 10-point beating, intensifying a beating, and severity. It also details the cramped cell with its heavy shackle, the specially designed chamber for stress positions, and tiny concrete tomb that the prisoner will be housed in. Imagine his horror as he reads about the electric shock collar he will wear at all times, pronged shackles, stress positions, and how his body's most basic functions and desires will be used to torment him. He'll learn that he may be forced to wear a bit and pull a cart until he's exhausted, and that his handler might follow it up with placing clamps on the sensitive tissue of his weary body and stretching exquisitely tender muscles with plugs for several hours. He will discover he is required to observe strict chastity for the duration of the program, with no relief of one of his deepest needs and temptations. The punishment manual is cruelly detailed in its description of things like application of capsicum cream to welts, forcing the prisoner to sit motionless on rocks after a severe beating, and leaving him spread-eagled in solitary confinement with constant pressure on tender wrists and ankles. Reading the list, he can only imagine how the punishments within could be cruelly combined in infinite ways until he was rendered completely submissive and obedient to his handler. ungekürzt.
