    The People of Forever Are Not Afraid , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 619min
    A “searing debut” about three young women coming of age, experiencing “the absurdities of life and love on the precipice of violence” (Vogue)Yael, Avishag, and Lea grow up together in a tiny, dusty Israeli village, attending a high school made up of caravan classrooms, passing notes to each other to alleviate the universal boredom of teenage life. When they are conscripted into the army, their lives change in unpredictable ways, influencing the women they become and the friendship that they struggle to sustain. Yael trains marksmen and flirts with boys. Avishag stands guard, watching refugees throw themselves at barbed-wire fences. Lea, posted at a checkpoint, imagines the stories behind the familiar faces that pass by her day after day. They gossip about boys and whisper of an ever more violent world just beyond view. They drill, constantly, for a moment that may never come. They live inside that single, intense second just before danger erupts. In a relentlessly energetic and arresting voice marked by humor and fierce intelligence, Shani Boianjiu, winner of the National Book Foundation’s “5 Under 35,” creates an unforgettably intense world, capturing that unique time in a young woman's life when a single moment can change everything. ungekürzt.

    No One Can Know , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 546min
    Weary of Cold War politics, CIA operative Gabriel Haines can't wait to leave the Company life for a job on his friend's isolated Texas ranch. All he needs to do is go to Dallas and seal the deal. But when President John F. Kennedy is assassinated just yards from where Haines stands, the former agent finds himself in tighter crosshairs than ever before. Keeping a low profile on the ranch couldn't come at a better time. Motherless preteen Ivy Jean Pritchard is a worrier, but she's trying hard not to be suspicious when her father sends her to spend the weekend on a ranch with family she's never met. And with her troublemaker teenaged cousin, high-society aunt, and her uncle's mistress on the scene, it promises to be more than the western adventure Ivy had anticipated. Now, marksmen have tracked Haines to the ranch, getting the entire family involved in something very adult and very worrisome. When the weekend turns deadly, Haines and Ivy Jean are the first to learn that secrets, especially those devised and perpetuated "for the good of us all," can breakdown a family - or a nation - in the blink of an eye. ungekürzt.

    13 Cent Killers: The 5th Marine Snipers in Vietnam, Hörbuch, Digital, 143min
    It's not easy to stay alive with a $1,000 bounty on your head.  In 1967, a bullet cost 13 cents, and no one gave Uncle Sam a bigger bang for his buck than the Fifth Marine Regiment Sniper Platoon. So feared were these lethal marksmen that the Viet Cong offered huge rewards for killing them. Now, noted Vietnam author John J. Culbertson, a former Fifth Marine sniper himself, presents the riveting true stories of young Americans who fought with bolt rifles and bounties on their heads during the fiercest combat of the war, from 1967 through the desperate Tet battle for Hue in early '68.In spotter/shooter pairs, sniper teams accompanied battle-hardened Marine rifle companies like the 2/5 on patrols and combat missions. Whether fighting their way out of a Viet Cong “kill zone” or battling superior numbers of NVA crack troops, the sniper teams were at the cutting edge in the art of jungle warfare, showing the patience, stealth, combat marksmanship, and raw courage that made the unit the most decorated regimental sniper platoon in the Vietnam War. Harrowing and unforgettable, these accounts pay tribute to the heroes who made the greatest sacrifice of all - and leave no doubt that among Fifth Marine snipers, uncommon valor was truly a common virtue.  Language: English.

    Deadeye: Episode I (The BREED, Tech'er Series) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 176min
    Daverex Newell did not like the life he was living. He yearned for adventure, an escape from the cold, confined drudgery of the massive Tech'er complex he begrudgingly called home. Instead, he was stuck in a dead end job, literally. His career path with the explosives research and development division of the Tech'ers was leading him toward a very early grave. That was until his closest friend, Gaston Melchor, offered him just the sort of escape he was looking for in the form of recovering an ancient, powerful, and mysterious artifact known as the Sphere of the Fallen! With the help of a quirky old reprogrammed medic robot named Benny, Daverex searches for the artifact on a strange world ravaged by war and hidden in the depths of the multiverse. Along the way, his almost compulsive combat training inside of the Tech'er complex comes into play many times as he is confronted by a deluge of bizarre supernatural beings. He soon finds himself overwhelmed and in situations that would kill an ordinary person. Luckily, Daverex discovers he is no ordinary person when he taps in to his superhuman power! In times of need, he can slow time temporarily and become a Deadeye, a marksmen, with his specially designed laser pistol called E.N.F.O.R.C.E.R. For Daverex, deadly combat proves to be just one of many challenges in his path to recovering the artifact. He must also carefully negotiate both a newly forming relationship with a woman whose brother is missing and a precarious meeting with the holder of the key to operating the artifact. Whatever this artifact's power, Daverex will soon discover it is enough to bring about a betrayal from the least likely of sources! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Rex Bonnewell.

    Spymistress: Summary and Analysis of "Spymistress: The True Story of the Greatest Female Secret Agent of World War II" , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
    Learn about the British woman who built one of the world's greatest spy networks during World War II in a fraction of the time it takes to read the actual book! Once through the Preface and Introduction sections of Spymistress, chapter one details some of the history and beginnings which shaped the early life of Vera Atkins. Beginning with her birth in Romania and telling of her relationship with her father, Max Rosenberg. Rosenberg became somewhat of a mystery to the young Atkins as he remained faithful to his Jewish name at a time when he might have been much safer claiming his lawful German status. Due to Rosenberg's advice, "There is safety in conjecture," Atkins grew up learning to be a mass of conflictions. This served her well in later life, helping to confuse her enemies. Upon her relocation to Britain, Atkins followed another piece of her father's advice when he advised her not to sign any paperwork. She created her own identity and took her maternal grandfather's surname, which he had already changed from Etkins due to anti-Semitism in Russia. Atkins, along with her mother and two brothers, was estranged from Rosenberg during the First World War, living in Germany, trapped there by the outbreak of war. They sought refuge with Rosenberg's brother, a German soldier. Once reunited, Rosenberg had the finest horsemen and marksmen teach his daughter to ride and shoot, the best dance teachers taught her to dance, and she was sent to finishing schools in France and Switzerland in the hope she would adopt the upper class sophistications which would enable her to travel through any borders. In her teens, Atkins assisted her father in helping to get Zionists, disguised as peasants, past border guards. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kay Webster.

    Time to Hunt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1272min
    “Stephen Hunter is in a class by himself. Time to Hunt is as vivid and haunting as a moving target in the crosshairs of a sniper scope.” (Nelson Demille, author of Mayday)He is the most dangerous man alive. He only wants to live in peace with his family and forget the war that nearly killed him.... It's not going to happen. Stephen Hunter's epic national best sellers Point of Impact and Black Light introduced millions to Bob Lee Swagger, called "Bob the Nailer", a heroic but flawed Vietnam War veteran forced twice to use his skills as a master sniper to defend his life and his honor. Now, in his grandest, most intensely thrilling adventure yet, Bob the Nailer must face his deadliest foe from Vietnam - and his own demons - to save his wife and daughter. During the latter days of the Vietnam War, deep in-country, a young idealistic marine named Donny Fenn was cut down by a sniper's bullet as he set out on patrol with Swagger, who himself received a grievous wound. Years later Swagger married Donny's widow, Julie, and together they raised their daughter, Nikki, on a ranch in the isolated Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho. Although he struggles with the painful legacy of Vietnam, Swagger's greatest wish - to leave his violent past behind and live quietly with his family - seems to have come true. Then one idyllic day, a man, a woman, and a girl set out from the ranch on horseback. High on a ridge above a mountain pass, a thousand yards distant, a calm, cold-eyed shooter, one of the world's greatest marksmen, peers through a telescopic sight at the three approaching figures. Out of his tortured past, a mortal enemy has once again found Bob the Nailer. Time to Hunt proves anew why so many consider Stephen Hunter to be our best living thriller writer. With a plot that sweeps from the killing fields of Vietnam to the corridors of power in Washington to the shadowy plots of the new world order, Hunt ungekürzt. Language: English.
