    Chasing the Moon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 461min
    Diana's life was in a rut - she hated her job, she was perpetually single, and she needed a place to live. But then the perfect apartment came along. It seemed too good to be true - because it was. As it turns out, the apartment was already inhabited - by monsters. Vom the Hungering was the first to greet Diana and to warn her that his sole purpose in life was to eat everything in his path. This poses a problem for Diana since she's in his path...and is forbidden from ever leaving the apartment. It turns out though that there are older and more ancient monstrous entities afoot - ones who want to devour the moon and destroy the world as we know it. Can Diana, Vom, and the other horrors stop this from happening? Maybe if they can get Vom to stop eating everything...and everyone. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Khristine Hvam.

    Pacific Heights: Marten Fane, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
    The attractive and cunning genius Ryan Kroll is known throughout the private sector as a man who can obtain information by any means necessary — often using creative and violent tactics to get what he wants. In the past, his targets were obvious and his end result was clear. So when he appears in the affluent and seemingly quiet community of Pacific Heights and quickly begins illicit affairs with the wives of two of San Francisco’s most powerful businessmen, his behavior is suspect. But when the psychotherapist treating both women realizes that Kroll has broken into her files and is using the women’s private thoughts and fears against them, manipulating them to the point of insanity, it becomes more than coincidence — it becomes deadly. The job of capturing Kroll before it’s too late falls to Marten Fane, a retired detective known for his clear head and complete discretion. Haunted by his own demons and employing his quick wit, Fane might be the perfect person to foil Kroll’s mental games and prevent him from committing what could possibly be a traceless form of murder. With a tight plot and a ruthless narrative, Pacific Heights introduces the Marten Fane series with the breakneck suspense and extraordinary talent only a bestselling author could create. ungekürzt.

    Das Weiberdorf: Roman aus der Eifel, Hörbuch, Digital, 386min
    Ein kleines Eifeldorf, abseits der großen Straßen und der Eisenbahn, ist der Schauplatz dieses Romans. In den 70er Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts verdingen sich praktisch alle arbeitsfähigen Männer des Ortes bei den aufblühenden Stahlwerken im Ruhrgebiet. Sie werden Gastarbeiter und sehen ihre Heimat und ihre Familien nur noch zweimal im Jahr. Dann wird gefeiert und getanzt, dann wird das versäumte Leben nachgeholt, bis sie nach 10 Tagen wieder abreisen müssen. Zurück bleibt ein Dorf ohne Männer, das Weiberdorf. Clara Viebig nimmt die Geschichte eines kleinen Falschmünzers zum Ausgangspunkt ihrer Beschreibung von Eisenschmitt bei Manderscheid, dessen Identität kaum verhüllt wird. Weder Held noch Anti-Held ist dieser Peter Miffert, der mit seinem lahmen Bein nicht in die Ferne ziehen kann. So bleibt er zurück im Dorf, aber selbst in der Rolle als Hahn im Korb wirkt er wie ein Opfer der Umstände - genau wie die Frauen, die sich um ihn bemühen. Die müssen während der langen Abwesenheit der Männer die Arbeiten im Haus und auf den Feldern allein erledigen, und dass sie dann auch noch auf andere Gedanken kommen, hat "Das Weiberdorf" seinerzeit auf den Index der katholischen Kirche gebracht. Clara Viebig wurde am 17.7.1860 in Trier geboren und starb am 31.7.1952 in Berlin. Seit 1897, als mit den Novellen "Kinder der Eifel" und dem Roman "Rheinlandstöchter" ihre ersten Bücher erschienen, hat Clara Viebig die Aufmerksamkeit eines breiten Lesepublikums geweckt und mit immer neuen Werken über Jahrzente erhalten. Viele ihrer Romane und Erzählungen spielen im Rheinland und in der Eifel. deutsch. Eva Kraiss. https://samples.audible.de/bk/lind/003028/bk_lind_003028_sample.mp3.

    Cronkite's War: His World War II Letters Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 667min
    A giant in American journalism in the vanguard of "The Greatest Generation" reveals his World War II experiences in this National Geographic book. Walter Cronkite, an obscure 23-year-old United Press wire service reporter, married Betsy Maxwell on March 30, 1940, following a four-year courtship. She proved to be the love of his life, and their marriage lasted happily until her death, in 2005. But before Walter and Betsy Cronkite celebrated their second anniversary, he became a credentialed war correspondent, preparing to leave her behind to go overseas. The couple spent months apart in the summer and fall of 1942, as Cronkite sailed on convoys to England and North Africa across the submarine-infested waters of the North Atlantic. After a brief December leave in New York City spent with his young wife, Cronkite left again on assignment for England. This time, the two would not be reunited until the end of the war in Europe. Cronkite would console himself during their absence by writing her long, detailed letters - sometimes five in a week - describing his experiences as a war correspondent, his observations of life in wartime Europe, and his longing for her. Betsy Cronkite carefully saved the letters, copying many to circulate among family and friends. More than 100 of Cronkite's letters from 1943-45 (plus a few earlier letters) survive. They reveal surprising and little-known facts about this storied public figure in the vanguard of "The Greatest Generation". They chronicle both a great love story and a great war story, as told by the reporter who would go on to become anchorman for the CBS Evening News with a reputation as "the most trusted man in America". ungekürzt.

    The Vaccine Race: Science, Politics, and the Human Costs of Defeating Disease , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1153min
    A real jewel of science history...brims with suspense and now-forgotten catastrophe and intrigue.... Wadman’s smooth prose calmly spins a surpassingly complicated story into a real tour de force. (The New York Times)“Riveting...[The Vaccine Race] invites comparison with Rebecca Skloot's 2007 The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.” (Nature)  The epic and controversial story of a major breakthrough in cell biology that led to the conquest of rubella and other devastating diseases. Until the late 1960s, tens of thousands of American children suffered crippling birth defects if their mothers had been exposed to rubella, popularly known as German measles, while pregnant; there was no vaccine and little understanding of how the disease devastated fetuses. In June 1962, a young biologist in Philadelphia, using tissue extracted from an aborted fetus from Sweden, produced safe, clean cells that allowed the creation of vaccines against rubella and other common childhood diseases. Two years later, in the midst of a devastating German measles epidemic, his colleague developed the vaccine that would one day wipe out homegrown rubella. The rubella vaccine and others made with those fetal cells have protected more than 150 million people in the United States, the vast majority of them preschoolers. The new cells and the method of making them also led to vaccines that have protected billions of people around the world from polio, rabies, chicken pox, measles, hepatitis A, shingles and adenovirus. Meredith Wadman's masterful account recovers not only the science of this urgent race, but also the political roadblocks that nearly stopped the scientists. She describes the terrible dilemmas of pregnant women exposed to German measles and recounts testing on infants, prisoners, orphans, and the intellectually disabled, which was common in the era. These events take place at the dawn of the battle over using human fetal tissue ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nancy Linari.
