    Twenty years ago, the KGB planted an agent in the American Navy. Today, he is the commander of an American nuclear attack submarine! Wayne Newell is all navy, all American, all traitor. A graduate of the Soviet "charm school", Newell is captain of the nuclear attack submarine USS Pasadena, now patrolling beneath the Pacific. He's convinced his crew that the world is at war - and that the Russians have a deadly masking device that makes Soviet submarines sound exactly like the most crucial ships in the American fleet: the nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines known as Boomers. The subs that the Pasadena detects may sound American - but they're the enemy and must be destroyed. The deception has begun.... In a world of darkness, super-sensitive listening devices and nerve-wracking tension, Newell's crew is being driven to the breaking point: cut off from communications and forced to destroy "enemy" subs in a war they can't confirm. And while the US Pacific Command scrambles to find out who is attacking their fleet, two American submarines must go to war - against an aggressor who knows their every move, and is rapidly destroying America's sea-based strategic nuclear defense. ungekürzt.

    Three years have passed since the Jamaicans caused the apocalypse, and things in post-Armageddon Chicago have settled into a new kind of normal. Unfortunately, that "normal" includes collapsing skyscrapers, bands of bloodthirsty maniacs, and a dwindling cache of survival supplies. After watching his family, friends, and most of the non-sadistic elements of society crumble around him, Patrick decides it's time to cross one last item off his bucket list. He's going to Disney World. This hilarious, heartfelt, gut-wrenching odyssey through post-apocalyptic America is a pilgrimage peppered with peril, as fellow survivors Patrick and Ben encounter a slew of odd characters, from zombie politicians and deranged survivalists to a milky-eyed oracle who doesn't have a lot of good news. Plus, it looks like Patrick may be hiding the real reason for their mission to the Magic Kingdom. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Lawlor.

    In his first collection of short fiction, New York Times best-selling author John Connolly offers a selection of dark, daring, and utterly haunting tales. Here are lost lovers and missing children, predatory demons, and vengeful ghosts. In "The New Daughter", a father comes to suspect that a burial mound on his land hides something very ancient and very much alive; in "The Underbury Witches", a pair of London detectives find themselves battling a particularly female evil in a town culled of its menfolk. And finally, private detective Charlie Parker returns in the long novella The Reflecting Eye, in which the photograph of an unknown girl turns up in the mailbox of an abandoned house once occupied by an infamous killer. This discovery forces Parker to confront the possibility that the house is not as empty as it appears and that something has been waiting in the darkness for its chance to kill again. In these stories, Connolly ratchets up the tension to almost unbearable - and irresistible - levels. Nocturnes is a deliciously chilling collection from "one of the best thriller writers we have" (Harlan Coben). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Harding.

    Eichendorffs Roman 'Ahnung und Gegenwart' erschien 1815, als Ausklang der Hochromantik in Deutschland, und doch lässt sich noch die frühromantische Forderung nach der Mischung des Heterogenen [...] an diesem Roman ablesen; denn Selbstbekenntnis und Selbstfindung, Entwicklungsroman, Zeitkritik und Heilsgeschichte verschmelzen hier zu einem romantischen Kunstwerk eigener Prägung." (Gerhart Hoffmeister als Herausgeber der Reclam-Ausgabe, nach der gelesen wird) Zitat aus dem Roman: "Die Poesie mag wohl... unbekümmert, bloß um ihrer himmlischen Schönheit willen, als Wunderblume zu uns heraufwachsen. Sie will und soll zu nichts brauchbar sein. Aber das versteht ihr nicht..." Das Hörbuch wendet sich in erster Linie an literaturgeschichtlich Interessierte.

    The exciting new stand-alone thriller by the New York Times best-selling author Lisa Unger. A gripping story of a young woman who escapes her dangerous past by pronouncing herself dead, until the person she fears the most discovers she's alive and well and comes after her and her young daughter. Annie Powers lives a happy, pampered life in a wealthy Florida suburb with a husband who loves her fiercely and a beautiful young daughter named Victory. But that happiness suddenly starts to fade when Annie feels the demons of her past creeping up on her. It's a past that she can't even recall due to a highly dissociative state that allowed her to forget the tragic and violent episodes of her earlier life as Ophelia March and to start again as a completely new Annie Powers, under the loving and protective eye of her husband, Gray. Recent disturbing events - the appearance of a familiar dark figure on the beach, the mysterious murder of her psychologist - trigger strange and confusing memories for Annie. She now realizes she has to quickly piece them together before her past comes to claim her and Victory. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Kaye.

    A story inspired in part by the works of John Le Carre, Stieg Larson, Michael Creighton, Dan Brown, Ludlam’s Bourne, and Hilton’s Lost Horizon and set against the backdrop of Baikal, the world’s oldest lake, Blue Eye is the first in a trilogy of high-octane thrillers. Populated with unorthodox characters and locations, fast-paced international action, and the all-too contemporary premise of corporate business colliding with nature, one man’s struggle to come to terms with his own conscience may decide the future of civilization. London-based derivatives trader Scott Carty doesn’t give any weight to the inexplicable dreams he’s been having. That is, until his mercurial boss, Arthur D’albo, summarily dispatches him to an energy conference in Kazakhstan along with the curious instruction to deliver a locked briefcase to one of the delegates. Soon enough, the dream’s premonitions begin to resonate with an alarming clarity as he becomes entangled with his enigmatic translator, Lisa Isotova, and begins to uncover D’albo’s sinister business - a huge trading fraud which is lubricating the wheels of a covert Cold War energy technology. It’s a secret, though, that carries a deadly price. Targeted, they're forced to flee into the Siberian forest around the shores of Lake Baikal. There, his understanding of reality is challenged as he learns of the technology’s staggering truth: its threat to the global economic order. Meanwhile, back in London, everyone presumes he’s dead - everyone, that is, but the intelligence agencies. What do they really know about this enigma, and why is Carty’s survival so important? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon de Deney.
