Westward with Gun and Mule , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 192min
Gabriel Sand is separated from his family who are on their way to Oregon traveling the Oregon Trail. During an Indian attack, his family is wiped out. He rescues a young cavalry officer, Roger Painter, and they become friends. They are both saved by his big Missouri mule, Jack. He then becomes an agent for the Pony Express and acquires a new friend. He folded his hands under his chin and fixed his gaze on the encampment below. There was a large fire glowing in the center of the wagon circle, and he could see several braves dancing around it. He was able to count nine doing the dancing, one beat on a small drum, and two who looked like older men were just sitting, observing the festivities. After watching for a few minutes, he crawled back to where Roger lay. “I don’t know what’s going on,” said Gabe. “It’s the same bunch that killed Maybelle, and there is a couple of older Indians with them. The two older ones are wearing those fancy feather war bonnets.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ryan Fugett.

Every Never After , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
It's happening again! Despite their vow to each other at the end of Once Every Never, best friends Clare and Allie once more find themselves in trouble - and travelling in time. Indulging in a low-key vacation at Glastonbury Tor, taking part in an archaeological dig while soaking up the sights of summertime England, the girls have promised each other: no time travel shenanigans; no involvement with dangerous Druids or villainous museum thieves; and definitely no weirdness about the fact that Clare is now seriously dating Milo, Allie's super-genius hottie cousin! But when Allie makes an unexpected discovery at the dig site - a skull - the grisly artifact sends her spiraling back in time to a Roman encampment besieged by rampaging Celts. Caught between the Legions and the war band, Allie is rescued from certain death by Marcus, a young Roman soldier with a secret. As she struggles to survive in the past, Clare and Milo race desperately against time in the present to bring Allie home...before she loses her head OR her heart. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Sweet Somethings: Samantha Sweet, Book 9 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 387min
Two things are weighing on Samantha Sweet's mind this summer - organizing the Sweet Somethings chocolate festival and tracking down information on the mystical carved wooden box that came into her life nearly two years ago, changing her forever. At last she believes she has located the person who can give the answers. The festival is behind schedule, committee members are at each other's throats, competitors are after the big prize money, and hungry crowds will soon be gathering at the gates. A slew of conflicting personalities are going at each other, and Sam is holding her breath, certain that this will not turn out well. When someone does indeed turn up dead, the trick is to find out who among the many parties committed the dirty deed. Meanwhile Sheriff Beau has his own set of problems trying to keep order at an encampment of free-spirited hippies who have moved into the area, so Sam is mostly on her own to keep the festival on track and find a killer. And the magic box? What Sam learns is that its powers are greater than she ever imagined, its history much more convoluted. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Bates.

Blood Father: Blood Curse, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 774min
Kagen Silivasi is a powerful, ancient vampire with a unique gift for healing - he is also a son, a brother, and a loner who has survived unspeakable tragedy and loss. Beneath his handsome, well-mannered exterior lies an alter ego consumed by rage and an overwhelming impulse to "kill them all".... Arielle Nightsong is a brave human, a rebel spirit, and an accomplished healer in her own right. Born into a harsh world of violence, cruelty, and danger, she was enslaved at the age of 10 and given as a gift to the most depraved being in Mhier - the infamous king of the lycans. If not for her enduring friendship with a captive vampire, she might not have survived to escape the slave encampment...or to discover her mysterious role in an ancient blood curse. When Kagen and his brothers voyage into Mhier in search of their long lost father, it will take more than stealth and cunning to get out alive: Secrets will be revealed, loyalties will be tested, and an indomitable spirit will fracture beneath the weight of an impossible choice. Blood Father is where destiny and duty collide. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric G. Dove. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/049296/bk_acx0_049296_sample.mp3.

Twitter and Tear Gas: The Power and Fragility of Networked Protest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 835min
A firsthand account and incisive analysis of modern protest, revealing Internet-fueled social movements' greatest strengths and frequent challenges. To understand a thwarted Turkish coup, an anti-Wall Street encampment, and a packed Tahrir Square, we must first comprehend the power and the weaknesses of using new technologies to mobilize large numbers of people. An incisive observer, writer, and participant in today's social movements, Zeynep Tufekci explains in this accessible and compelling book the nuanced trajectories of modern protests - how they form, how they operate differently from past protests, and why they have difficulty persisting in their long-term quests for change. Tufekci speaks from direct experience, combining on-the-ground interviews with insightful analysis. She describes how the Internet helped the Zapatista uprisings in Mexico, the necessity of remote Twitter users to organize medical supplies during Arab Spring, the refusal to use bullhorns in the Occupy Movement that started in New York, and the empowering effect of tear gas in Istanbul's Gezi Park. These details from life inside social movements complete a moving investigation of authority, technology, and culture - and offer essential insights into the future of governance. ungekürzt.
