Exodus in Confluence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
Exodus in Confluence is mass-murderer Stephen Hart's haunting account of the December 21, 2013 tragedy in Cinder Heights, Maine. Five months into the zombie apocalypse, 17-year-old Stephen Hart lived in a society where rules and humanity had left him for dead. The remaining survivors clung feverishly to whatever hope remained-maybe it was a family member, or a religion, or a destination. But in less than one week, everything changed. A year later, his ramshackle settlement has been compromised, as evidenced by the hordes of the undead swarming inside the gates... and Stephen is to blame. Instead of running, he takes to the airwaves, using the transmission in the now-abandoned radio station to broadcast his story via speakers to his fleeing citizens. This way, maybe he won't look like such a total monster. With the clock running out, venture into Stephen's post-apocalyptic world, where circumstances can make us become something other than ourselves. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A Christmas Far from Home: An Epic Tale of Courage and Survival During the Korean War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 414min
From an acclaimed historian comes the dramatic story of the Christmas escape of thousands of American troops overwhelmingly surrounded by the enemy in Korea's harsh terrain. Just before Thanksgiving in 1950, five months into the Korean War, General MacArthur flew to American positions in the north and grandly announced an "end-the-war-by-Christmas" offensive despite recent intervention by Mao's Chinese, who would soon trap tens of thousands of US troops poised toward the Yalu River border. Led by marines, an overwhelmed Tenth Corps evacuated the frigid, mountainous Chosin Reservoir fastness and fought a swarming enemy and treacherous snow and ice to reach the coast. Weather, terrain, Chinese firepower, and a four-thousand-foot chasm made escape seem impossible in the face of a vanishing Christmas. But endurance and sacrifice prevailed, and the last troopships weighed anchor on Christmas Eve. In the tradition of his Silent Night and Pearl Harbor Christmas, Stanley Weintraub presents another gripping narrative of a wartime Christmas season. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Dakota Run: Endworld, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 395min
Postnuclear America was a slagheap littered with the charred debris of the holocaust. Only a few survivors remained - some dedicated to rebuilding civilization, most determined to drive humanity deeper into the abyss. Blade, an Alpha Triad Warrior, was a knife fighter with a razor-sharp temper. He had sworn to protect The Home from all invaders - but this time he had to slaughter the innocent to save the guilty. Geronimo was a full-blooded Indian Warrior with a half-baked idea. He headed for the Dead Zone to get his head together. But instead of peace, he found his head was in serious danger of being severed from his neck. The Legion were savage nomadic horsemen who swept down out of the hills like swarming locusts, devouring, defiling, and destroying everything in their path. There was no way out for Geronimo - unless he sacrificed his honor and violated the sacred law of his people.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Damon Abdallah.

A washed-up captain. A worn-out ship. A crew of green cadets. And they're Earth's only hope. The Alexander is the last true warship, a relic from the days of interstellar war. She's destined for the scrapyard, and her captain, Richard Hammett, is about to retire. Their last mission is a training run with a ship full of cadets. It's supposed to be a routine hop through a wormhole gate. But gates have been going offline, one after another, and Hammett knows in his bones it means trouble. The kind of trouble only a real warship can handle. Defying orders, he takes the Alexander through another gate, and puts the ship smack dab in the path of an alien invasion.
