The Reach of the Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 387min
Dr. J.B. Rhine, a psychologist at Duke University, was the world's outstanding authority and scientific pioneer in the fields of ESP and psychokinesis. The Reach of the Mind is Dr. Rhine's story of his findings, and the techniques he has developed, over many years, to scientifically measure non-physical factors of man's mind: telepathy, clairvoyance, and the force which the mind can physically produce upon inanimate objects. When the The Reach of the Mind was first released, it greatly impressed Carl Jung, who used it as a basis for his theories on synchronicity. In this special edition, Dr. Rhine included a new preface surveying even more progress in his field. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Symon James Sweet.

Blue Water Scarlet Tide: Pennywhistle Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 726min
It's the summer of 1814, and Captain Thomas Pennywhistle of the Royal Marines is fighting in a New World war that should never have started, a war where the old rules of engagement do not apply. Here, runaway slaves are your best source of intelligence, treachery is commonplace, and rough justice is the best one can hope to meet-- or mete out. The Americans are fiercely determined to defend their new nation and the Great Experiment of the Republic; British Admiral George Cockburn is resolved to exact revenge for the burning of York, and so the war drags on. Thanks to Pennywhistle's ingenuity, observant mind, and military discipline, a British strike force penetrates the critically strategic region of the Chesapeake Bay. But this fight isn't just being waged by soldiers, and the collateral damage to innocents tears at Pennywhistle's heart.As his past catches up with him, Pennywhistle must decide what is worth fighting for, and what is worth refusing to kill for - especially when he meets his opposite number on the wrong side of a pistol. ungekürzt.

The Distant Ocean : Alexander Clay Series, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 508min
Newly returned from the Battle of the Nile, Alexander Clay and the crew of the Titan are soon in action again, just when he has the strongest reason to wish to abide in England. But a powerful French naval squadron is at large in the Indian Ocean, attacking Britain’s vital East India trade. Together with his friend John Sutton, he is sent as part of the Royal Navy’s response. On route the Titan runs to ground a privateer preying on slave ships on the coast of West Africa, stirring up memories of the past for Able Sedgwick, Clay’s coxswain. They arrive in the Indian Ocean to find that danger lurks in the blue waters and on the palm-fringed islands. Old enemies with scores to settle mean that betrayal from amongst his own side may prove the hardest challenge Clay will face, and a dead man’s hand may yet undo all he has fought to win. Will the curse of the captain’s nephew never cease to bedevil Clay and his friends? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Symon James Sweet.

Nice Guy Island , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 222min
Tour of Nice Guy Island You single? How's that dating thing working out for you? Getting your recommended nightly allowance of love and affection? Or are you at the point where a bottle of Pinot, a good TV series, and a pet or two are all you need? Thirteen years of being single, after 13 years of marriage, has left me in a peculiar place - on Nice Guy Island. I'm not the aggressive bad boy who hooks women with his mysterious behavior. I'm polite, kind, and considerate, which translates into "f--king boring" for far too many potential mates. Hence, all my paddling away from the island lands me in strong currents, taking me back where I started. If you visit my island, what you'll find is an often-sedated, yet content population of one and two-thirds (male felines, Syd and Symon). The fridge is full of beer, tuna, hot sauce, and prepared meals. The freezer has ice packs for sore, old muscles. Nothing else to see here. Not exactly Barbados. On this island, even masturbation has become tedious, so I venture out nightly in search of stimulation. This is a document of those travels. May you find humor in my message - it keeps me afloat. Yours, stranded, Phil ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David A. Nickerson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/094661/bk_acx0_094661_sample.mp3.

A Man of No Country : Alexander Clay Series, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 481min
In 1798, the British Royal Navy withdrew from the Mediterranean to combat the threat of invasion at home. In their absence, rumors abound of a French Army gathering in the south of France under General Napoleon Bonaparte, and of a large fleet gathering to transport them. Alexander Clay and his ship, Titan, are sent to the Mediterranean to investigate. Clay verifies the troubling rumors but is unable to learn where the French fleet and the army will be heading. When Admiral Lord Nelson arrives from Britain with reinforcements, Clay and Titan join Nelson’s fleet heading for the south of France. But on their arrival, they discover Bonaparte’s fleet is gone, and Nelson, aware of the dangers of an ambitious and ruthless general, orders an all-out hunt for Bonaparte’s armies before it is too late. As the Titan searches for Napoleon’s forces, another threat has already gained passage on the ship. After engaging and destroying a Russian privateer, the crew capture a mysterious stranger, claiming to be an English sailor who has been serving from childhood on Barbary ships. Shortly after he joins the ship, there begins a rash of thefts, followed by the murder of another sailor. With the officers baffled as to who is behind this, it falls to Able Sedgwick, the Captain’s coxswain and the lower deck to solve the crimes. ungekürzt. Language: English.
