    Safety Tips for Living Alone , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min
    From one of our greatest living storytellers, a remarkable, gut-wrenching tale of love, duty, and peril set at the height of the Cold War. In Safety Tips for Living Alone, Jim Shepard weaves the stories of four families whose lives are upended when the men go to work on a dangerous and isolated surveillance platform off the coast of Long Island. After working his way up to captain, career serviceman Gordon Phelan is offered the command of Texas Tower 4--a wobbly "box over the ocean". Among the team of military personnel and civilians joining Phelan aboard the platform are Roy Bakke, Wilbur Kovarick, and Louie Laino--three strong and dutiful men trying to ensure better lives for their families. But when a powerful storm approaches the tower, the four men--and everyone onboard--must face their increasingly probable deaths. In his introduction Joshua Ferris writes, "There's no better way to describe the experience of the reader of Shepard's reimagining of this forgotten, misbegotten episode in American history" than to say one is "moved and appalled". ungekürzt.

    What Did I Do Wrong? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 298min
    What Did I Do Wrong? is the first book of a 3-book series sharing Eveline Sandy's personal journey of resilience and perseverance. Born in the early fifties to a single mother in East Germany, Eve eventually moved with her mother to the United States to live with her mother's new husband, a US serviceman whom Eve knew as Dad. With this new man frequently absent and detached from their lives, Eve and her mother were regularly left alone to fend for themselves. They moved frequently, creating a very unstable family life. Even so, this was nothing compared to the trauma that would haunt Eve for the rest of her life. At 12, she became the victim of a violent crime - an event that reverberates in her life even today. Later, when she was in high school, her mother was diagnosed with cancer - and they were both permanently abandoned by the man she knew as her father. In her adulthood, she became a single mother herself, and her mother eventually lost her battle with cancer. Even through all of the trials, tribulations, and triumphs that life has thrown at her, Eve's immeasurable faith and trust in the Lord have helped and guided her, keeping her on the path of love and forgiveness. ungekürzt.

    Mr. Kill , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
    On a crowded train from Pusan to Seoul, the brutal rape of a young mother sparks rage on the powder-keg peninsula of Korea, pitting Koreans against Americans and the 8th Army brass against the truth. Eyewitness accounts indicate the culprit was most likely a U.S. serviceman, but by the time Sergeants George Sueño and Ernie Bascom, U.S. Army investigators, are called in, the rapist has disappeared and anti-American fervor in this proud Asian country is threatening to explode. George and Ernie search in vain for the culprit, all the while becoming entangled in the web of military apologists who deny that any Americans were involved, and the designs of a beautiful blonde musician who fronts an all-female country western band—a woman who is out to entertain the troops in more ways than one. Delay causes more tragedy—and this time murder—and sets off a frantic search for a killer that stretches from the sizzling hot Demilitarized Zone to the cold waters of the Yellow Sea. With the help of legendary Korean detective Mr. Kill, Lieutenants George Sueño and Ernie Bascom embark on what may just be the most dangerous case of their careers. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Black Bullet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
    Glenda Lawson believes her husband was the only US serviceman shot and killed on American soil during World War II. But in 1945, investigators ruled that Billy Lawson died in a “mugging turned ugly.” Sean O’Brien is learning the ropes of commercial fishing when he gets his anchor caught on something underwater. He discovers a German U-boat partially buried in sand, and inside is a frightening cargo. The media pick up the story, and a 35-year-old woman who has a haunting tale visits O’Brien. Her grandfather, Billy Lawson, was fishing one night on a Florida beach when he saw something very disturbing. The Black Bullet is a thriller that combines an unsolved murder from 1945 and a modern-day discovery connected to America’s entry into nuclear weapons, the Manhattan Project. The last thing Sean O’Brien wants is to investigate a 67-year-old murder. But Billy Lawson’s granddaughter and his cancer-stricken widow are desperate for closure. For O’Brien to bring it to them he has to pry the lid off a secret buried with the Manhattan Project. It’s information that got Billy Lawson killed, and O’Brien soon learns the old murder and his new discovery at the bottom of the sea are inextricably knotted. O’Brien is thrust into a world where nothing is as it appears, and everything is riding on a secret Billy Lawson took to his grave. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael David Axtell.

    Invitation to a War: My Early War Experience at Pearl Harbor and Guadalcanal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 290min
    Invitation to a War, is a young shipyard worker's eye-witness experience of the war in the Pacific, at Pearl Harbor and Guadalcanal. Larry was invited by the Navy Labor Board to work in Hawaii, while he took time off from Ohio State University, to earn the finances needed for his junior year. On his first Sunday morning in Oahu, he planned to meet with his brother, who was stationed at Pearl Harbor. Waiting there at the Navy Yard, Dry Dock No. 1, taking in the sights of the harbor and the USS Pennsylvania, the scene changed astonishingly as Pearl Harbor was brutally attacked before his own eyes. His story details the horror of the attack, its aftermath, and the courage and dedication of the survivors working to rebuild. After months of round-the-clock work, and with deep concern that the Japanese would attack again soon, Larry used the occasion of his first day off to join the US Army. This time, should the enemy invade, he wanted to be carrying a rifle. Serving in the 25th Division as a forward artillery spotter, he was part of the effort to aid and relieve elements of the 1st and 2nd Marine Corps Divisions at Guadalcanal. Having spent weeks behind enemy lines, his memoirs describe the violent combat, tense missions, camp activities, and life of an American serviceman in World War II. This history celebrates the character, courage, and even the indomitable humor of those who fought. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Carlson.

But he soon realizes that someone has altered his lifebrand and lifted the veil that concealed the greatest deception ever perpetrated.
