    Pathfinder Pioneer: The Memoir of a Lead Bomber Pilot in World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 511min
    In this engaging audiobook, we see how an 18-year-old miner shoveling ore from deep in the ground in Utah suddenly found himself, only two years later, 30,000 feet in the air over Nazi Germany, piloting a Flying Fortress in the first wave of America's air counteroffensive in Europe. Like thousands of other young Americans, Ray Brim was plucked by the US Army to be a combat flyer and was quickly pitted against the hardened veterans of the Luftwaffe. Brim turned out to have a natural knack for flying, however, and was assigned to the select squadron developing lead Pathfinder techniques while experimenting with radar. He was among the first to test the teeth of the Luftwaffe's defenses, and once those techniques had been honed, thousands of other bomber crews would follow into the maelstrom, from which 80,000 never returned. Pathfinder Pioneer gives us vivid insights into the genesis of the American air campaign, told with the humor, attention to detail, and humility that captures the heart and soul of our Greatest Generation. ungekürzt.

    Wrath of Athena: A Snapshot Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 126min
    For 80 million years, the Tourists have taken Snapshots of Earth, creating living replicas of continents. Life in the Snapshots quickly diverges from the real world, creating a universe where humans and animals from Earth's history fly between Snapshots, exploring, fighting, and sometimes meeting themselves. A fly-by-night petting zoo lands in Madagascar-24M, the Snapshot of Madagascar the Tourists made 24 million years ago, and promptly finds itself slapped in quarantine. After all, exotic animals from off-Snapshot are a risk, for people, local wildlife, and the environment. Scott Hardy's title may be Assistant Veterinary Engineer, but his actual job is shoveling crap out of cages and protecting the "talent" - the nubile youths hired to run the petting zoo. That doesn't include protecting the zoo's star performer, Athena Anders, Hardy's redheaded, volatile, dish-hurling, on-again-off-again girlfriend. Not because Athena isn't talented, but because she does just fine taking care of herself. The one thing Athena really loves are the zoo's stars, a pair of talking dinosaurs. Then the dinosaurs go missing. And it's mating season. The only thing worse than the havoc a pair of breeding dinosaurs can create on an unprotected, unsuspecting world? The wrath of Athena when she finds out who's responsible. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: K. Richardson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/064675/bk_acx0_064675_sample.mp3.

    Suddenly, something big and white bumps up against the car, and I jump. I think I must be dreamin’, ’cause I just saw a horse run by. When Cole’s mom dumps him in the mean streets of Philly to live with the dad he’s never met, the last thing he expects to see is a horse - let alone a stable full of them.

    Witch Is the New Black: Paris, Texas Romance, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
    After spending 10 months in magic-abuse jail for a crime she doesn't remember committing, accident-prone witch-in-denial Bernice Sutton is zapped to the small paranormal town of Paris, Texas. With Miss Fee Line, her kitty drag-queen familiar, by her side, Bernie just wants to fulfill the terms of her parole - shoveling horse and cow dung on a ranch - so she can get back to Boston and dig into the mystery of her parents' deaths and her witch lineage. But plans be damned, Bernie's quickly distracted by the town's quirky cast of magical characters, from Winnie - the sassy owner of the local witch halfway house - to the entire posse of Poise Pad wearers at the senior center. And then there's the biggest distraction of all, Ridge Donovan, Mr. Hot-Pants ranch owner. Maybe it couldn't hurt to let them teach her how to harness her magic; if nothing else, it might make her less of a walking disaster. And Ridge is one hunk - er, *helpful* study partner. Between learning spells, wreaking havoc on the ranch, turning bingo night at the senior center into a "whirlwind" of excitement, and fighting her attraction to Ridge, Bernie is unprepared for an unwelcome person from her past. On one hand, he's the key to her lifelong questions. On the other, he could destroy the new life she's coming to enjoy - and the lives of all those she's coming to love. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Life After Favre: The Green Bay Packers and Their Fans Usher In the Aaron Rodgers Era , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
    Wisconsin native Phil Hanrahan moved from Los Angeles to Green Bay to chronicle the Packers 2008 football campaign, the first season in 17 years without quarterback Brett Favre. He is there as new starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers begins what one football writer called "the toughest job in professional sports". Immersing himself in the worlds of team and town, Hanrahan is reborn a full-blown cheesehead: living above Vince Lombardi’s first Packers office, observing training camp practices, attending the team’s annual shareholders meeting, interviewing players, tailgating in arctic cold, shoveling snow at Lambeau for $8 an hour, celebrating Packer great Fuzzy Thurston’s 75th birthday at Thurston’s bar, and, at every turn, befriending scores of die-hard Packers fans he encounters along the way. Hanrahan also journeys far from Lambeau as well, hitting away games in New Orleans and Minneapolis and pursuing adventures in Packer Land nation-wide, from a year-round Packers bar in Scottsdale, Arizona, to wide receiver Jordy Nelson’s parents' sports bar in rural Kansas, to tiny Napoleonville, Louisiana, hometown of cornerback Tramon Williams. Here is the first book written on the new-era Packers, the team of Rodgers, Coach Mike McCarthy, GM Ted Thompson. Featuring a new afterword that brings the Packers story up-to-date and covers their amazing triumph in Super Bowl XLV, Life After Favre chronicles one of the most dramatic seasons in Packers history while revealing, with energy, insight, and humor, the story of the NFL’s winningest franchise. ungekürzt.

    Letting Go , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 349min
    All deaths are hard to bear. But losing a son is the hardest. Memory of war always loomed large for Dwight Bogdanovic. After all, his immigrant grandfather volunteered to fight in World War I, and his working-class father joined up with the Canadian Army to fight the Nazis early in World War II. Yet it is only when Dwight's soldier son Bertrand is killed under mysterious circumstances in Afghanistan that he really tries to understand why men fight and die. Dwight Bogdanovic enjoyed a golden childhood in his idealized vision of 1950s America - freely riding his bicycle in the streets, pick-up ball games in the park, and earning pocket money by shoveling snow or raking leaves for neighbors - but coming of age proved difficult for him. After dropping out of college during the height of the Vietnam War and after receiving a medical deferment from the draft, he travels the Midwest selling encyclopedias door-to-door to people who don't want them, then returns to his hometown of Indianapolis. There he lands a series of temp jobs and hooks up with a hippie girlfriend before meeting the good woman who will become his wife. All seems right again until, one by one, all his beloveds succumb to their own fates - disease, old age, and war. Especially his son, especially war. Dwight struggles to overcome the loss of Bertrand and constantly replays letters from him in his head before realizing, with the help of yet another woman in his life, that the greatest challenge is not merely to survive, but to let go. ungekürzt.

    The Deeds of My Fathers: How My Grandfather and Father Built New York and Created the Tabloid World of Today , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 698min
    A story that reads like The Godfather has been crossed with Citizen Kane. The Deeds of My Fathers is the riveting true story of two men, a father and a son, who each started with nothing and built an empire. Generoso Pope, Sr., an Italian immigrant, arrived in New York in 1906 with only pennies in his pocket. He got a job shoveling sand, but through his intelligence, natural leadership, ruthlessness, and ability to woo powerful politicians such as Jimmy Walker and Franklin Roosevelt, he worked his way up to become the biggest provider of cement, just as it was becoming the key building material for New York, vital to landmarks such as Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall. Gene Pope, Jr. was his father’s choice to inherit and run the business, but Gene’s mother and two brothers forced him out, and he found himself penniless and on his own. With a loan from his godfather, mobster Frank Costello, Gene bought the New York Enquirer. He renamed it the National Enquirer and focused on the paranormal, celebrities, and the hopes and fears of Americans. Gene forced the tabloid into the supermarkets and became a powerful media force, peaking with the seven million copies sold of the blockbuster exposé on the death of Elvis. Paul David Pope, businessman, philanthropist, and now author, is a third-generation Italian American who launched an investigation into the controversial lives of his father and grandfather almost ten years ago. His team of reporters and researchers generated more than 50,000 pages of material, conducted 450 interviews, amassed thousands of photographs, and scoured presidential papers as well as FBI and CIA files. ungekürzt.

    Hitler: World War II: One Hour WW II History Books, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
    In this one-hour history book, discover the life of Adolf Hitler from beginning to end. In 1889, the Eiffel tower was inaugurated in France, Oklahoma City and Guthrie were formed within hours in the United States and the first issue of Wall Street Journal came out. Yellow fever interrupted the Panama Canal construction, and in what was then Austria-Hungary, Adolf Hitler was born. Adolf "Adi" Hitler’s birth was unremarkable, as was his carefree boyhood and troubled teenage years. A talented artist but a lazy pupil who hated following rules, how did a school dropout who had failed an entrance exam to one of the most prestigious art schools - twice - and had been a constant pain to his teachers end up as the leader of the largest political party, then the Chancellor and lastly the dictator of Germany? From a homeless young man shoveling snow and selling paintings to Jews in Vienna, to an insignificant soldier in World War I, to the leader of a little-known movement that in a few years’ time catapulted him to international fame - a party that gave him the platform to rail against what he termed as the enemies of Germany - the Jews. A gifted speaker who could hold thousands of crowds with his impassioned speeches, what was Hitler’s vision? He believed it was up to him to do what the leaders of a fledgling republic had failed to do - put Germany back into the limelight to prove to the world that they were far superior force and also to reclaim land they had lost after the humiliating defeat of World War I. In this short one hour book, you will know everything you need to know about Adolf Hitler and how he influenced the course of world history. Scroll back up and click the Buy Now button located on the right side of this page.  ungekürzt.
