To Tell the Truth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 381min
Anna Kacey had faced many difficulties in her life and had carried some heavy responsibilities. When she met Senator Kenneth Levall, her world soared. At least until it collapsed. Until that fateful day when the gun she held fired, and the senator fell on the floor at her feet and died. Undercover cop, Detective John Mentz, came into her life and fell deeply in love with Anna. He gave her reason to question her relationship with the senator, who he was investigating for drug trafficking. But as strong a woman as Anna was, she had to dig deep to find the strength to endure what followed: the murder of her sister, the destruction of her life, and lastly facing a courtroom full of people, a judge, and a jury in an effort to save the man she really loved. He had confessed to the murder of the senator in order to protect Anna from being charged with murder. It was now time for her to stand up and tell the truth. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Carrier War: Wings Over Nam, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 267min
Navy lieutenants David Kincaid and Douglas Bakker honed their flying skills over the Nevada desert. Assigned to a carrier on the South China Sea, they soared through South Vietnam's skies, whetting their appetites for the real thing: a dogfight in the North. But on their first ride over the DMZ the two hotshot flyers found out that an undertrained, underfed North Vietnamese pilot can kill like a top gun in the cockpit of a MiG. Knocked out of the skies for the first time, Kincaid and Bakker would return on a mission of their own. Soon in the SAM-littered airspace over Hanoi they'd be hunting for a MiG-21 with a cobra painted on the tail - while in Saigon's Gunfighter's Club the other pilots would drink a toast and wonder how far two men can go for revenge... They were America's elite, battle-hardened flyers...men who came from every service and every corner of the war. They lived with the agony and irony that was Vietnam and flew with courage and commitment. This is their story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott "Scooter" Fortney.

Pines: A Logger Repents , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min
This book tells the story, in lively lyrical verse, of Caleb, an old logger from the days of saw and ax. After a long career chopping down trees, he finally meets his match and learns a life-changing lesson.Most folks link pine trees with Christmas, small and in a corner of the room, but their big brothers live in the great forests. Logging is an American way of life. Pioneers swung axes to win logs from the virgin forests and build family homes. Later, folks earned a living by exporting the lumber. Huge swathes of timber covered much America. Exploitation was inevitable.Ancient trees soared skywards in a challenge to fearless men. Loggers roaming the early forests were a band of adventurous characters. Daring exploits became legend. Many a tall tale spiraled up with the campfire sparks as weary men exchanged yarns. Stories of a giant of a man called Paul Bunyan, and his blue ox Babe, became popular. They have featured in books and films ever since.At a time of growing awareness of the folly of destroying natural resources, this story shows the need to change our ways - no matter how old we are. ungekürzt.

Aldair, Master of Ships: The Aldair Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 355min
I have done more than my share of wandering. In a few short years, I have been slave, scholar, and master of ships. I have played no small part in the death of two great empires. I have nearly been eaten whole by the shapeless thing that guards the Great River. I have even soared above the earth like a large, ungainly bird. Finally, I have come to know the handiwork of man, in the sad and fearful land of Merrkia, across the Misty Sea.The terrible secret of that race has come to light at last, though it is a thing I can scarcely fathom even now. And if I have learned nothing more in my travels, I can say - in all truth - that I am proud to be the beast I am. Aldair, late of the Venicii.The Earth was still green and fully populated. Its "men" were the products of a science that might have begun with the Dr. Moreau of Wellsian legend. Fate had chosen Aldair to seek the truth about man. Why had man created these new beast-races, and above all, where had man gone? Truly, an astonishing adventure in future projection. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: CC Hogan.

Taylor Davis: Flame of Findul, Episode 5: Serial Adventures, 1.5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 58min
A perfect pick for reluctant boy readers who might prefer to listen. "Watch out!" Mike cried. The Churkons came at us hard and fast, one from the left and one from the right. Q jerked the reins and the team soared straight up in the air. The maneuver left my stomach at the lower altitude, but the Churkons passed beneath us, narrowly missing the chariot and each other. "So much for the pastrami sandwich decoy," Elena mumbled as we leveled out. Her face was pale beneath her dark coloring, and she clung to the side of the chariot. Ranofur didn't look much better. "They must have been scanning for us. Q, can you evade them?" The little driver's face was fiercely determined under his flight gear. "These aren't the first Churkons I've taken on, and I've never been green goo yet. Hang on!" Taylor's epic adventure made its debut in its original serial format. Now listen along with each episode! Humor, action, and manageable lengths make this series a perfect pick for reluctant boys (and adventure-loving girls). Watch for each new episode and collect them all. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Girl in the Shadows , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 786min
Eighteen-year-old Moira Mitchell grew up in the shadows of Vegas's stage lights while her father's career as a magician soared. More than anything, Moira wants to be a magician too, but her father is dead set against her pursuing magic. When an invitation to join the Cirque American mistakenly falls into Moira's possession, she takes action. Instead of giving the highly coveted invitation to its intended recipient, Raleigh, her father's handsome and worldly former apprentice, Moira takes off to join the Cirque. If she can perform alongside its world-famous acts, she knows she'll be able to convince her dad that magic is her future. But when Moira arrives, things take on an intensity she can't control as her stage magic suddenly feels like...real magic. To further distract her, Raleigh shows up none too pleased at Moira's presence, all while the Cirque's cocky and intriguing knife thrower, Dez, seems to have it out for her. As tensions mount and Moira's abilities come into question, she must decide what's real and what's an illusion. If she doesn't sort it out in time, she may forever remain a girl in the shadows. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dara Rosenberg.
