Soundless Silence: A Sherlock Holmes Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 375min
Taking a deep breath, Watson nodded. He could accept it. He could even understand it. And it made him smile.... Sherlock Holmes was human after all. Sherlock Holmes, London’s most celebrated consulting detective, is, by all accounts, a very difficult man to live with. His longtime companion, Dr. John Watson, must be one of the most patient men alive. As the two bicker one day regarding Watson’s write-up of their previous case, Holmes refuses Watson’s invitation to join him that evening for some...otherworldly entertainment. Ever the skeptic, renowned clairvoyant and illusionist Pierre Bastion is the last person Holmes wants to see. When the clairvoyant turns his attention to Sherlock Holmes, things become intriguing. Bastion’s little deductions makes Holmes suddenly agitated and in a state Watson has never seen. When a string of horrific murders linked to the Boxer Rebellion in China has Scotland Yard in a tizzy, Sherlock Holmes is in the midst of it all. Knowing his friend is holding a great secret, Watson vows to help in any way he can. That means keeping the most earth-shattering news about the great detective quiet.

The Stanley Brothers: Steam Cars and the Rocket , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 12min
Here's a biographical profile of the Freelan and Francis Stanley, identical twins who developed the Stanley Steamers, cars powered by steam engines. In 1897 the brothers, dressed alike in overcoats, bowler hats and sporting thick black beards appeared on Maple Street in Watertown, Mass., driving a horseless carriage that was nearly soundless. Spectators were stunned by the quick pace and eerie silence.One observer later recalled: "It was like watching a pair of pants run down the street with nobody in them."Ten years later, their steam-powered cars broke world speed records with speeds exceeding 150 mph! It was not their first invention; they had already developed air brushes and photographic processes that George Eastman acquired. Their story of invention, eccentricity, and success is the quintessential American story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Baron Ron Herron.

Midwinter Sacrifice: Malin Fors, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 744min
An investigation consists of a mass of voices, the sort you can hear, and the sort you can't. You have to listen to the soundless voices, Malin. That's where the truth is hidden. The snow covered all the tracks, as the killer knew it would. But it couldn't hide the victim, the man who now hung naked from a lonely tree on a frozen plain. Malin Fors is first on the scene. A 31-year-old single mother, Malin is the most talented and ambitious detective on the Linkoping police force, but also the most unpredictable. She must lead the investigation while keeping her fractured life on the rails. No one knows the identity of the dead man. Or perhaps no one ever wanted to know. When all the voices of the investigation have fallen silent, Malin can rely only on herself and her own instincts. And as she follows in the frigid wake of the killer, Malin begins to discover just how far the people in this small town are willing to go to keep their secrets buried. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Death of Magic: Saga of the New Gods, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 862min
Thor, Legion sent as soon as the thoughts had been processed into his own. “The tail is the creature's weak point; strike there and its ability to fight or escape will be drastically limited.”“You're ready then?” Thor's thought came to him, tinged with aggravation and eager bloodlust.“Yes,” Legion replied, this time ready for his giant friend's almost immediate response time. Jumping to his feet, Thor didn't even bother to shout a battle cry. He leaned back, dwarf-forged armor resisting the harsh treatment, chain links creaking as he bent the links in his rage; metal plates pinged and stretched as though on the forge. With a grunt of effort and an explosion of breath, Mjölnir flew.Legion rose up as well, reaching out in one of the first moves he had ever learned. He attached a tether of psionic force to the back of the rider's armor, and waited. Mjölnir hit the creature dead at the base of the tail, and it raised its head, shrieking soundlessly in agony at the strike. The rider, unprepared for the sudden motion, tried to maintain his perch on the creature's neck. Legion tugged hard on his tether. The rider fell back, shouting with his own soundless voice as he crashed over and rolled down the beast's back, being struck a tremendous blow by his mount's uncontrollably thrashing tail.Legion continued to drag at the thing. His muscles were not strong, not compared with a giant, but his mind was where the strength for the telekinetic tether came from. Resist as he might, the giant slid away from his mount, thrashing at the loose sand as he tried to stop himself, done in by his own handiwork. Thor charged the injured creature as it spun to face him, hissing in rage at the unexpected blow. But its movements were slow, and while it was still halfway turned, Thor leapt high, crashing down toward its vulnerable wing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sebastian Fields, Marci Fine.
