Highliners: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 954min

A magnificent story based on America’s last frontier: The wild waters of the Pacific Ocean off the Alaskan coastline. Highliners are the elite of the fishing world, the skippers and crews who make the biggest catches—salmon, king crab, halibut, shrimp—and deliver them first to the bustling canneries of Kodiak and Dutch Harbor. For these men—and for their women—the safe eight-hour day does not exist. It never will. Some fishermen get rich, many die broke. But they find a special joy in their work that can never be matched by the easier world of the landsman. No matter how great the hardship or how bad the storm, the highliners put out to sea in their primitive battle against the elements. The protagonist of the novel is Hank Crawford, a young greenhorn who first comes to Alaska to work in a cannery to earn money while on summer vacation from college. He is quickly hooked by the fisherman’s life, and this novel re-creates how a young man becomes a highliner. He succeeds because he is young enough, strong enough, and brave enough. He learns the brutal business from hard-fisted skippers, penny-pinching cannery managers, and the pirates of the fishing world. Hank also meets the tough women who endure the hardships of Alaska alongside their men. Journey with him as he learns to survive the elements (100-mile-an-hour winds, ice storms, tidal waves, and fire at sea) and attempts to become a highliner. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Spook Squad: PsyCop, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 721min

Everyone enjoys peace and tranquility, and Victor Bayne is no exception. He goes to great lengths to maintain a harmonious home with his partner, Jacob. Although the cannery is huge, it's grown difficult to avoid the elephant in the room...the elephant with the letters FPMP scrawled on its hide. Once Jacob surrendered his PsyCop badge, he infiltrated the Federal Psychic Monitoring Program. In his typical restrained fashion, he hasn't been sharing much about what he actually does behind its vigilantly guarded doors. And true to form, Vic hasn't asked. In fact, he would prefer not to think about the FPMP at all, since he's owed Director Dreyfuss an exorcism since their private flight to PsyTrain. While Vic has successfully avoided FPMP entanglement for several months, now his debt has finally come due. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gomez Pugh.

Die Straße der Ölsardinen

So komisch, leicht und nostalgisch ist diese Prosa, dass man beinahe vergessen könnte, dass es sich um Weltliteratur handelt.Gelegenheitsarbeiter, Taugenichtse, Dirnen und Sonderlinge bevölkern die Cannery Row im kalifornischen Fischerstädtchen Monterey. Sie leben in alten Lagerhallen wie Mack und seine vier Kumpane, denen jede geregelte Arbeit verhasst ist; sie hausen in ausrangierten Dampfkesseln und verrosteten Röhren auf dem »leeren Platz«, der alles andere als leer ist oder wie Henri, der Maler, in einem Boot Marke Eigenbau, an dem er seit zwanzig Jahren herumbastelt und in dem es keine seiner Frauen und Freundinnen lange aushält. Sie treffen sich im unerschöpflichen Kramladen des Chinesen Lee Chong, um auf Pump einzukaufen, in den Kneipen rund um die Fischkonservenfabriken, in Doras Etablissement und im Laboratorium des einsiedlerisch lebenden Meeresbiologen »Doc«, den sie eines Tages mit einer grandiosen Party überraschen. Und das alles spielt sich unter den misstrauischen Blicken der ordentlichen Bürger von Monterey ab ...

Mad at the World

This first full-length biography of the Nobel Laureate to appear in a quarter century explores John Steinbeck's long apprenticeship as a writer struggling through the depths of the Great Depression, and his rise to greatness with masterpieces such as The Red Pony, Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath. His most poignant and evocative writing emerged in his sympathy for the Okies fleeing the dust storms of the Midwest, the migrant workers toiling in California's fields and the labourers on Cannery Row, reflecting a social engagement-paradoxical for all of his natural misanthropy-radically different from the writers of the so-called Lost Generation. A man by turns quick-tempered, contrary, compassionate and ultimately brilliant, Steinbeck took aim at the corrosiveness of power, the perils of income inequality and the growing urgency of ecological collapse, all of which drive fierce public debate to this day.

When a floatplane mysteriously explodes above the Alaska wilderness, investigators begin digging into the lives of the five passengers and the pilot. Was the target of the bomb the US senator in the midst of a hotly contended reelection campaign or her husband, a corporate raider with no shortage of enemies? Or could the bomb have been meant for the cannery owner involved in a contentious divorce, or the refuge manager who had a long list of adversaries, including one who vowed to get even with him? Even the pilot could have been the target, since his girlfriend has violent tendencies and knows how to use explosives. Dr. Jane Marcus is determined to find who murdered her young assistant and the other passengers and the pilot of the floatplane, but when her own life is threatened, she knows she must find the murderer before she becomes the next victim. ungekürzt.
