    Linger 5: The Death of Dreams , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 325min
    They see what no one else sees... Every crime scene has a smell, a look, a trail of DNA. It also has a feel. An emotional residue that lingers...floating unseen, like bacteria in the air, just waiting to be absorbed, to be experienced, to be interpreted. And only the man, the woman, and the boy know this. It starts with a "pull" they can't quite explain. All three of them feel it - Kate, Weston, and Christopher - but none of them know why they are drawn to this small town in Southeast Michigan in the middle of winter. Before long, they are confronted in a diner by an oddly formal man with a cemented smile who warns them away, because he knows, you see. He knows why they have come here. And in the next few hours, Kate, Weston, and Christopher will know, too, as they find themselves trapped in a house in the midst of a raging snow storm - a house that has seen its share of horrific violence...and is about to see more. ungekürzt.

    Amber House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 634min
    I was sixteen the first time my grandmother died. . . . Sarah Parsons has never seen Amber House, the grand Maryland estate that's been in her family for three centuries. She's never walked its hedge maze nor found its secret chambers; she's never glimpsed the shades that haunt it, nor hunted for the lost diamonds in its walls. But after her grandmother passes away, Sarah and her friend Jackson decide to search for the diamonds - and the House comes alive. She discovers that she can see visions of the House's past, like the 18th-century sea captain who hid the jewels, or the glamorous great-grandmother driven mad by grief. Sarah grows closer to both Jackson and a young man named Richard Hathaway, whose family histories are each deeply entwined with her own. But when her ghostly visions start to threaten the person she holds most dear, Sarah must do everything she can to get to the bottom of the House's secrets, and stop the course of history before it is cemented forever. ungekürzt.

    Tarzan of the Apes [Blackstone Edition] , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 502min
    Deep in the heart of the Congo a small baby is adopted by Kala, a fierce anthropoid ape of the tribe of Kerchak. Here, protected by his savage foster mother, Tarzan (for so she named him) learned the secrets of jungle life - how to talk with all animals, how to move like a shadow, how to swing freely through the teeming forest, how to fight barehanded the great carnivores; here he acquired the strength and agility of his guardian apes, and the same keen sense of smell and sound that all wild creatures need to protect themselves. Here he cemented his lifelong friendship with the tribe of Tantor, the great grey elephants. And here, in time, his human intelligence brought him to the leadership of his own tribe. Fierce, proud, free, superlatively stong and nobly made, Tarzan of the Apes proved himself truly the unconquerable Lord of the Jungle. But civilization holds traps for the junglebred. And even Tarzan was not immune to the craft and guile of human beings. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Slattery.

    Rough Riders: Theodore Roosevelt, His Cowboy Regiment, and the Immortal Charge up San Juan Hill , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 581min
    The award-winning, new definitive history of Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders"Thrilling....A CLASSIC." (True West) Winner: Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award; New Mexico-Arizona Book Award; and Colorado Book Award The now-legendary Rough Riders were a volunteer regiment recruited in 1898 to help drive the Spaniards out of Cuba. Drawn from America’s southwestern territories and led by the irrepressible Theodore Roosevelt, these men included not only cowboys and other Westerners, but also several Ivy Leaguers and clubmen, many of them friends of “TR.” Roosevelt and his men quickly came to symbolize American ruggedness, daring, and individualism. He led them to victory in the famed Battle of San Juan Hill, which made TR a national hero and cemented the Rough Riders’ iconic place in history. Now Mark Lee Gardner synthesizes previously unknown primary accounts - private letters, diaries, and period newspaper reports from public and private archives across the country - to breathe fresh life into the Rough Riders and pay tribute to their daring feats and indomitable leader.  ungekürzt.

    Weightless , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 542min
    I remember the lights. I remember I wanted to photograph them, the way the red and blue splashed across his cold, emotionless face. But I knew even if my feet could move from the place where they had cemented themselves to the ground and I could run for my camera, I wouldn't be able to capture that moment. I had trusted him, I had loved him, and even though my body had changed that summer, he'd made sure to help me hold on to who I was inside, regardless of how the exterior altered. But then everything changed. He stole my innocence. He scarred my heart. He took everything I thought I knew about my life and fast-pitched it out the window, shattering the glass that held my world together in the process. I remember the lights. The passionate, desperate, hot strikes of red. The harsh, cruel, icy bolts of blue. They symbolized everything I endured that summer. And everything I would never face again. ungekürzt.

    Fort Pillow: A Novel of the Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 673min
    In April 1864, the Union garrison at Fort Pillow was composed of almost 600 troops, about half of them black. The Confederacy, incensed by what it saw as a crime against nature, sent its fiercest cavalry commander, Nathan Bedford Forrest, to attack the fort with about 1,500 men. The Confederates overran the fort and drove the Federals into a deadly crossfire. Only 62 of the colored Union troops survived the fight unwounded. Many accused the Confederates of massacring the black troops after the fort fell, when fighting should have ceased. The "Fort Pillow Massacre" became a Union rallying cry and cemented resolve to see the war through to its conclusion. Harry Turtledove has written a dramatic re-creation of an astounding battle, telling a bloody story of courage and hope, freedom and hatred. With brilliant characterizations of all the main figures, this is a novel that reminds us that Fort Pillow was more than a battle---it was a clash of ideas between men fighting to define what being an American ought to mean. ungekürzt.
