    Der rote Hitlerjunge
    Der Stiefvater ist Kommunist, der Vater gar im Rotfrontkämpferbund. Die neue Stiefmutter aber schwärmt für Hitler. Der eine Großvater ist Monarchist, der andere ein kommunistischer Schuhmacher, der Onkel wiederum Sozialdemokrat. Ein Familienbild aus dem Hamburger Arbeiterbezirk Hammerbrook um 1930. Es ist das kommunistische Milieu, in dem Günter Lucks aufwächst, der Autor des Bestsellers «Ich war Hitlers letztes Aufgebot» und der Ko-Autor des Bandes «Hitlers vergessene Kinderarmee». Die Eltern verkehren mit KPD-Größen wie Etgar André oder Fiete Schulz; der kleine Günter aber will unbedingt zum Jungvolk - und durchlebt eine Kriegskindheit zwischen den Extremen. Dies ist die Erzählung von einer Kindheit in einem versunkenen, erst von den Nazis und dann von der "Operation Gomorrha" endgültig zerstörten Milieu, das auch nach dem Krieg nicht wiedererstand. Es ist zugleich ein authentisches Bild aus dem Leben in den traditionellen Arbeiterbezirken von Hamburg, von dem aus erster Hand heute kaum noch ein Zeitzeuge erzählen kann.

    Sophia of Silicon Valley: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 659min
    Sharp, dramatic, and full of insider dish, Sophia of Silicon Valley is one woman's story of a career storming the corridors of geek power and living in the shadow of its outrageous cast of maestros. During the heady years of the tech boom, incorrigibly frank Sophia Young lucks into a job that puts her directly in the path of Scott Kraft, the eccentric CEO of Treehouse, a studio whose animated films are transforming movies forever. Overnight, Sophia becomes an unlikely nerd whisperer. Whether her success is due to dumb luck, savage assertiveness, insightful finesse (learned by dealing with her irrational Chinese immigrant mother), or a combination of all three, in her rarified position she finds she can truly shine. As Scott Kraft's right-hand woman, whip-smart Sophia is in the eye of the storm, sometimes floundering, sometimes nearly losing relationships and her health, but ultimately learning what it means to take charge of her own future the way the men around her do. But when engineer/inventor Andre Stark hires her to run his company's investor relations, Sophia discovers that the big paycheck and high-status career she's created for herself may not be worth living in the toxic environment of a boys' club gone bad. ungekürzt.

    For Love and Glory (eBook, ePUB)
    For Love and Glory opens in 1940 as Lange DeLony, a civilian pilot in Texas, is down on his luck-no car, no money saved, and his ex-wife has just been killed in a car accident. With his self-esteem at low tide, he learns Britain is recruiting American pilots to fly for the Royal Air Force. Knowing he needs a fresh start, he joins the RAF and is posted to a fighter squadron east of London. On the train headed there he meets a Canadian ferry pilot. Mackie MacLeod seems self-assured, but she's lonely. What begins as a hasty war-time romance turns into an intense love affair. Once the United States enters the war the danger intensifies. Each fighter mission becomes more treacherous. The war seems endless and unbearable, when late in 1943, Mackie's worst fear happens: Lange is shot down over enemy territory. He lucks into help from a Belgian escape line and spends months evading the enemy. When the escape line is broken by the German Gestapo in Paris, Lange's luck runs out. For the remainder of the war, his single, all-consuming desire is to survive and get back to Mackie.
