    Soulbound to a Dragon: Soulbound to a Dragon, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 635min
    Riella Akema is a Pantherian, the rare child of a human and Therian. In her case, her father was an Elderfel, a cat-like humanoid that despises all other races, making her an abomination in their eyes. The only reason she’s still alive is because her mother sacrificed everything to buy her 18 years of safety in the magically protected forest of the elves. But now that time has come to an end. Her birthday present from the elves is her permanent exile. Riella must now face the outside world for the first time, along with the dangers and discrimination that come with it. However, unknown to her, the Elderfel have been waiting all this time for her to reappear. Her life means more to them than a simple mixing of the races. She is more than just an abomination. Will her magic be enough to defend herself? Or will the Elderfel take her life and steal her soul along with it?Prologue Really, I felt like I hadn’t truly been living until now. And I wasn’t about to go back to a life of solitude just to keep this body breathing, while my heart slowly withered away in loneliness. I needed to feel, to be alive, even if it did ultimately lead to an early death. I looked up at him with renewed determination, only to realize he wasn’t focused on me anymore, and his expression had changed drastically. He had a look in his eyes that I hadn’t seen before, and I hoped to never see it directed at me. Pure hatred.I turned around, almost expecting him to be looking at the elf, only to see that all three of them were facing the other way too, swords halfway drawn. I gazed further on, trying to understand what was happening, finally seeing it for myself.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Annie Ellicott, Jeff Hays.

    Take Control of Your Life: The Complete Guide to Managing Work and Family , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min
    “The trouble with the rat race is that, even if you win, you're still a rat” (Lily Tomlin)There was a time, in the not-so-distant past, when families were expected to give up everything in order to achieve the financial security they craved. Perhaps you remember those decades, perhaps you are too young to recall those times.Those were the days when climbing the corporate ladder was a revered activity, and wives and children gazed fondly at pictures of the breadwinner in order to remember whether poor, exhausted Dad had blue eyes or brown.Large companies moved employees from one city to another, like pawns on a chessboard and, if you had any hope of climbing the ladder toward upper management positions, you packed up the wife and kids and moved on from Chicago, to Boston, to New York, to Tokyo.In the intervening years, the divorce rate climbed, fathers lost touch with their families and died of heart attacks and strokes at an alarming rate. When these men retired, they felt useless and unproductive.Over the years, the identity of these men had become inextricably tied to their success on the job. New retirees found themselves wondering who they were, and why they were living with women who were complete strangers to them. And, whatever happened to those darling kids who used to live in the house?Then women entered the workforce in earnest and joined the rat race.Lest you think that this rat race has come to an end, look to the evidence of stress related death and illness, an increase in the average number of hours worked by employees in the U.S. and around the world, skyrocketing numbers of divorces and children in single-parent families.And, let us not forget those of us who are responsible for the care of aging parents. ungekürzt.

    The Moon Shines Red : Heart of Darkness, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 541min
    Award-winning author, Pamela Sparkman's fantasy novel is tantalizingly wicked, drawing the listener into a world of forbidden love where nothing is quite what it seems.Lord Lochlan was cursed in the womb, condemned by the perceived crimes of his parents.On the 13th year of his birth, the red glow of the moon washed over land and sea like a faded bloody stain. A constant reminder of the curse that marked him before he was born. Every night he gazed at it like he was lured and haunted by it. It followed him, it beseeched him. It called out to him. Just once he wanted to see the moon glow as everyone else saw it. Bright and illuminating. But he knew that would never be possible.The all too familiar feeling of despair suffocated him, like long gangling fingers squeezing his neck, cutting off his air. He fell to his knees and begged for the sky to fall on him. He had suffered long and tirelessly and he was desperate for it to end. And yet, he fought to breathe. He fought to stand back on his feet. Because fighting back was as instinctual to him as breathing. He had come too far to let his loneliness and despair get the best of him now. He was battle worn and weary, but he still had a reason to live.Or so he hoped.He stood back on his feet and he fought against the doom that hovered over him since the day he was born and he stared up into the darkened sky.At the moon that shines red only for him.I should have stayed away from him. But I couldn't. HE was my love...my life. And he just might kill me. I suppose that means...he may also be my end. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Ritz-Barr.

    The Korean Demilitarized Zone: The History and Legacy of the Border Between North Korea and South Korea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min
    The Korean War was a watershed event for a number of reasons. Not only was it considered the first military action of the Cold War, as well as one of the first to utilize jet planes kitted out with bombs and missiles, the United Nations immersed itself in the precarious politics of warfare for the very first time. A total of 41 countries gifted shiploads of provisions and equipment to South Korea. Another 16 countries provided their own soldiers to serve as backup for the South Koreans. Their mission, put simply, was to extinguish Communism on the Korean peninsula once and for all. After a series of heated but unproductive negotiations that lasted two brutal years and 17 miserable days, North Korea and South Korea found themselves locked in a stalemate. Finally, on July 27, 1953, representatives from both parties gathered at the village of Panmunjom, located on a semi-neutral zone by the border. Here, they devised a document entitled the Korean Armistice Agreement and scrawled their names across the bottom of the parchment, calling for a ceasefire, effective immediately. In essence, this agreement was no more than a truce, for there were no victors. The agreement merely ensured "a suspension of open hostilities," a "transfer of POWs," and lastly, the formal establishment of the demilitarization zone, better known as the DMZ. To this day, no peace treaty has ever been signed. Despite the fact the border between North Korea and South Korea remains tense, and former President Bill Clinton once branded it the "scariest place on Earth," more than 7.5 million tourists have visited the notorious demilitarized zone for one reason or another. There, they gazed upon a treacherous but evidently intriguing strip of land, guarded by estranged brothers with a chilling array of weapons directed at one another at all times. The Korean Demilitarized Zone: The History and Legacy of the Border Between North Korea and South Korea examines one of th ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Gallagher.

    Niagara Falls: The History of North America's Most Famous Waterfalls , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 88min
    All trembling, I reached the Falls of Niagara, and oh, what a scene! My blood shudders still, although I am not a coward, at the grandeur of the Creator's power; and I gazed motionless on this new display of the irresistible force of one of His elements. (John James Audubon) "It's Niagara Falls. It's one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the world. Who wouldn't want to walk across it?" (Nik Wallenda) North America is full of natural wonders, but few inspire as much awe as Niagara Falls, the continent's most famous waterfalls. Comprised of three separate waterfalls (Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls), Niagara's falls can boast the fastest flow rate in the world, dropping six million cubic feet of water every minute from as high as 185 feet. Situated on the border between the United States and Canada, Niagara Falls is not just a prime tourist spot but a source of hydroelectric power that attracted scientists like Nikola Tesla who hoped to harness the waterfalls' energy. In fact Niagara Falls is so powerful that it is eroding the ground under it, to the extent that it will cease to exist in about 50,000 years. The falls are a byproduct of glaciers receding about 10,000 years ago, and they have been amazing people for as long as the area has been inhabited. It's widely believed Niagara is a word derived from the Mohawk tribe, but the most famous people now associated with the waterfalls are those who have dared to ride down the falls one way or another. The falls have seen both amateurs and professional stuntmen ride over it in barrels, some successfully and others fatally, and a local museum has even preserved some of the barrels used in the attempts. ungekürzt.

    Guilt in Innocence: Tales of the Scattered Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min
    The Olodumare Hegemony rules the entire solar system. Led by Oba Isembi, the primary agents of his rule are the Ori-Inu: highly trained telepathic operatives, who do the Oba's dirty work. They are found and trained by Orisha. When Ori-Inu start disappearing, Isembi sends his finest Orisha, Hembadoon, to investigate. But when he is injured in a refinery explosion, it's up to Folami-Isembi's best, most powerful Ori-Inu-to learn the truth about the missing operatives. Folami uncovers a conspiracy to overthrow Isembi, encounters an old comrade whom she thought was dead, and awakens hidden memories that rock her very identity to its core! A new tale of the Scattered Earth, and the first of many new adventures of the Olodumare Hegemony by international best-selling, award-winning author Keith R.A. DeCandido! Guilt in Innocence is the third full-length novel in The Tales of the Scattered Earth, joining Aaron Rosenberg's Birth of the Dread Remora and David Niall Wilson's The Second Veil. Each author begins with their own world, their own culture, their own story...but there is something out there...something that will draw them altogether. About the Series: Once, long ago, there was one Earth. It was said that many deities gazed down upon it protectively, and there was balance between them all. Then something went wrong. The balance shifted-toward darkness. Earth was shattered, her people destroyed, her remains scattered far and wide. But the gods survived the cataclysm. They scattered as well, each pursuing a fragment of their former domain. And, when they overtook those shards, the gods drew upon what power remained to them to restore their worshippers to life. These new followers rose from dust and imperfect memory, for the gods too had been injured. Each claimed a new home, and a new life, and each thought itself-at least at first-to be the only Earth. All memory of their former world was lo ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kyle McCarley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/002917/bk_acx0_002917_sample.mp3.

    Arnhem
    The Sunday Times #1 BestsellerThe great airborne battle for the bridges in 1944 by Britain's Number One bestselling historian and author of the classic Stalingrad'Our greatest chronicler of the Second World War . . . his fans will love it' - Robert Fox, Evening Standard'The eye for telling detail which we have come to expect from Antony Beevor. . . this time, though, he turns his brilliance as a military historian to a subject not just of defeat, but dunderhead stupidity' Daily Mail On 17 September 1944, General Kurt Student, the founder of Nazi Germany's parachute forces, heard the growing roar of aeroplane engines. He went out on to his balcony above the flat landscape of southern Holland to watch the air armada of Dakotas and gliders carrying the British 1st Airborne and the American 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions. He gazed up in envy at this massive demonstration of paratroop power.Operation Market Garden, the plan to end the war by capturing the bridges leading to the Lower Rhine and beyond, was a bold concept: the Americans thought it unusually bold for Field Marshal Montgomery. But could it ever have worked? The cost of failure was horrendous, above all for the Dutch, who risked everything to help. German reprisals were pitiless and cruel, and lasted until the end of the war.The British fascination with heroic failure has clouded the story of Arnhem in myths. Antony Beevor, using often overlooked sources from Dutch, British, American, Polish and German archives, has reconstructed the terrible reality of the fighting, which General Student himself called 'The Last German Victory'. Yet this book, written in Beevor's inimitable and gripping narrative style, is about much more than a single, dramatic battle. It looks into the very heart of war.'In Beevor's hands, Arnhem becomes a study of national character' - Ben Macintyre, The Times'Superb book, tirelessly researched and beautifully written' - Saul David, Daily Telegraph'Complete mastery of both the story and the sources' - Keith Lowe, Literary Review'Another masterwork from the most feted military historian of our time' - Jay Elwes, Prospect Magazine'The analysis he has produced of the disaster is forensic' - Giles Milton, Sunday Times'He is a master of his craft . . . we have here a definitive account' - Piers Paul Read, The Tablet

    Mirage: Mother's Best Kept Secrets , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min
    Have you ever considered what it’s like to experience a reoccurring illusion of death? Your flawed senses deceive you because your environment has become so miserable. Imagine dying, or lying in agony, night after night, drenched in sweat, waiting for it to pass. They could've heard your blood-curdling screams from miles away, if not for being silenced by fear. It appears as though your pulse couldn’t fade anymore before it stops altogether. Only by being broken down, in such a way, could you understand. The abuse numbs your body, but your soul still suffers from each blow. It's an endless film stuck on replay, the slowest, surest death, that happens, over and over, with no promise of stopping. Each day you awake, wondering if it will be your last. You wished to avoid an uproar, but the sound of breaking dishes tells you: it's too late. He is furious, and his anger knows no limits. The fire in his powerful brown eyes says you are lucky to be alive, but inside you’ve already perished. Though you're a fearless woman, you have met your match. He persuaded that he was the perfect gentleman and swept you off your feet. Somehow, you fell right into his trap. Those fearful eyes were once the same ones you gazed into, and all your problems became distant. The butterflies you felt were those of the most delicate, unexplainable feelings known to humans. A young stage of a flourishing love, told in the most magical fairy tales ever read. How does the same guy, sent to rescue you, become your most feared enemy? You have spent hours talking, laughing, and sharing your deepest secrets with one another. There was nothing the two of you couldn't accomplish together. Just as your youthful dreams become your existence, somehow they shift into your worst nightmares. By the time you realize, you’ve been sucked into his narcissistic realm, with no escape in sight, it's too late and past the point of no return. Nobody can spare you. They will only judge you ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sheryl Mebane. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/128724/bk_acx0_128724_sample.mp3.
