Jayhawkers: The Civil War Brigade of James Henry Lane , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 544min
No person excited greater emotion in Kansas than James Henry Lane, the US senator who led a volunteer brigade in 1861-1862. In fighting numerous skirmishes, liberating hundreds of slaves, burning portions of four towns, and murdering half a dozen men, Lane and his brigade garnered national attention as the saviors of Kansas and the terror of Missouri.This first book-length study of the “jayhawkers”, as the men of Lane’s brigade were known, takes a fresh look at their exploits and notoriety. Bryce Benedict draws on a wealth of previously unexploited sources, including letters by brigade members, to dramatically re-create the violence along the Kansas-Missouri border and challenge some of the time-honored depictions of Lane’s unit as bloodthirsty and indiscriminately violent.Bringing to life an era of guerillas, bushwhackers, and slave stealers, Jayhawkers also describes how Lane’s brigade was organized and equipped and provides details regarding staff and casualties. Assessing the extent to which the jayhawkers followed accepted rules of warfare, Benedict argues that Lane set a precedent for the Union Army’s eventual adoption of “hard” tactics toward civilians.An entertaining story rich in detail, Jayhawkers will captivate scholars and history enthusiasts as it sheds new light on the unfettered violence on this western fringe of the Civil War.The book is published by University of Oklahoma Press. ungekürzt.

Eternal Vampire: Council of Seven, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 238min
A spell that defies all rules could cost Lane and Henry their lives and change the course of history. Hidden away from the world and the Enchanted for years, Lane Aldwin is finally permitted to take her seat on the Council of Seven, replacing her grandmother: Miriam. Although Lane was born to a long line of powerful witches, she feels she is not the right witch for the job - especially when her mother’s ulterior motives lurk behind Lane’s every thought. Matters only get more complicated when Miriam’s love spell manifests upon Lane and the Vampire Regent, Henry Brandis. Henry is sure he has found his mate, even if Lane is as uncertain about their relationship as she is about everything else. Unfortunately for them, happiness cannot be achieved so easily - not with the delusional Julia Aldwin and other players challenging them with plots that would not only endanger Henry and Lane’s love, but their lives as well.

Rules for Becoming a Legend: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
Jimmy “Kamikaze” Kirkus is a basketball star, destined for a legendary future in the NBA. At the age of five, he can make nine shots in a row. By high school, he’s got his own Sports Illustrated profile. To the citizens of Columbia City, it seems like he was born for the sport. But Jimmy soon confronts the “Kirkus curse” when tragedies begin to emerge. Not even basketball can save him from his family’s sorrow-filled past.. His eventual defeat on the court echoes another disastrous legacy: Jimmy’s father, Todd “Freight Train” Kirkus - who had also dreamed of basketball stardom - was forced to give up his dream for a life defined by the curse of his name. Can Jimmy find a way to end this cycle of tragedy? Like Chad Harbach’s The Art of Fielding and Friday Night Lights (the book and cult television show), Timothy Lane’s debut novel uses the lens of basketball to understand family, community, and - ultimately - hope. Populated with complex, compelling characters, Rules for Becoming a Legend is proof that every hero is human, and sometimes triumph is borne from tragedy. ungekürzt. Language: English.
