Arctic Gambit , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 628min
Jerry Mitchell, now the commodore of submarine Development Squadron Five, is dismayed when USS Toledo is reported missing in Arctic waters, close to Russian territory. The vessel is captained by his former shipmate and close friend Lenny Berg. Eager to investigate, Jerry convinces the navy to redirect one of his squadron’s boats to find out what happened. It turns out Toledo was sunk just outside of Russian territorial waters by a torpedo launched from a naval mine. Even more disturbing is the discovery that Russia is building a deadly weapon. Engineers have modified the STATUS-6, a strategic nuclear propelled, nuclear armed torpedo that is already operational, into a stealthy first strike weapon: Drakon. This new tool would allow the Russians to launch a completely covert nuclear decapitation strike on the USA. The new Russian president has plans for Europe and is more than willing to use nuclear blackmail - or an actual attack - to keep the Americans from interfering. To avoid a Russian war in Europe and a nuclear catastrophe at home, Mitchell must find a way to destroy the Drakon launcher before it’s too late. ungekürzt. Language: English.

In the wake of a shipboard fire where Petty Officer Alex Sievers is severely injured and a shipmate is killed, he arrives in Great Lakes, Illinois, to take command of a misfit company of recruits competing for the Double Salute.

Ahab's Return: or, The Last Voyage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 474min
A bold and intriguing fabulist novel that reimagines two of the most legendary characters in American literature - Captain Ahab and Ishmael of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick - from the critically acclaimed Edgar and World Fantasy award-winning author of The Girl in the Glass and The Shadow Year.At the end of a long journey, Captain Ahab returns to the mainland to confront the true author of the novel Moby-Dick, his former shipmate, Ishmael. For Ahab was not pulled into the ocean’s depths by a harpoon line, and the greatly exaggerated rumors of his untimely death have caused him grievous harm - after hearing about Ahab’s demise, his wife and child left Nantucket for New York, and now Ahab is on a desperate quest to find them.Ahab’s pursuit leads him to The Gorgon’s Mirror, the sensationalist tabloid newspaper that employed Ishmael as a copy editor while he wrote the harrowing story of the ill-fated Pequod. In the penny press’s office, Ahab meets George Harrow, who makes a deal with the captain: the newspaperman will help Ahab navigate the city in exchange for the exclusive story of his salvation from the mouth of the great white whale. But their investigation - like Ahab’s own story - will take unexpected, dangerous, and ultimately tragic turns.Told with wisdom, suspense, a modicum of dry humor and horror, and a vigorous stretching of the truth, Ahab’s Return charts an inventive and intriguing voyage involving one of the most memorable characters in classic literature, and pays homage to one of the greatest novels ever written. ungekürzt.

Stories from the US Navy: I. A Suicide in the Mediterranean , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 155min
Radarman Second Class Zack Martin finds himself with time for reflection while taking a smoke break on a moonlit early morning aboard a Navy aircraft carrier. He'd prefer to be almost anywhere else than aboard a "damned bird farm" crossing the Gibraltar Strait. The veteran sailor is not happy and longs to find a way to get back to destroyer duty in the Pacific. The trick will be to accomplish that without sinking his Navy career. Carrier sailors find it challenging to transfer back to the surface fleet, and an ensign fresh from training who is bursting with self-importance isn't helping matters. Yet, another bungled job by a shipmate leads to a life-altering decision by the brass and, before long, Martin may have the opportunity he's always wanted. In hindsight, however, he might have wanted to stay right where he was. Drawing on author Bob Stockton's 20 years as a Navy man, Stories from the US Navy: I. A Suicide in the Mediterranean puts listeners in the heart of the action aboard an aircraft carrier and its dedicated crew. Bob Stockton served starting in 1957, sailing the seven seas while aboard surface vessels (destroyers), diesel-electric submarines, aircraft carriers, auxiliary vessels, reconnaissance attack squadrons, and patrol gunboats in Vietnam. After retiring as a chief petty officer, Bob earned undergraduate and graduate degrees and has worked as an adjunct graduate instructor, shipyard welder's helper, epidemiologist, pharmaceutical trainer, small business owner, and radio host. Now considered fully disabled because of exposure to Agent Orange while in Vietnam, the Trenton, New Jersey, native makes his home in Jacksonville, Florida, near his three children and three grandchildren. This novella is the first in a series of three Bob hopes to publish by the end of 2014. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ernie Sprance.
