Birthright (Second Edition): The Briton and the Dane , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 650min
Two years have passed since Alfred the Great successfully defeated Guthrum, King of the Vikings. The fair land of England is at peace. That is, until the harmony is threatened by Guthrum's angry, vengeful, illegitimate son, Rigr, who is hell-bent on usurping his father's throne. Rigr demands his Birthright - an acknowledgement that he is the sole heir to the Danelaw, but his father refuses his claim. Rigr assembles his army; a motley, but formidable, cohort of disenchanted warriors. Fearsome Guthrum, ruler of everything from Kent to Northumbria, is made aware of the threat and conjures his forces, meeting the rebellious host on the field at Thetford. Thousands upon thousands of bloodthirsty warriors confront each other on the sunlit, windless plains of East Anglia. The victors will rewrite the course of history, and the fate of England is in the hands of the gods of war. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sebastian Lockwood.

The Cruise of the Snark , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 498min
In 1906, without studying navigation, Jack London, his wife Charmian, and a small crew sail to the South Pacific, hoping not to get lost. His adventures and misadventures at sea led him through native uprisings, The Doldrums, and the then unknown sport of surfing. London, one of the most popular American writers of his time, describes the construction and outfitting of his boat in San Francisco, including frustrations with vendors, with which every boat owner will sympathize. London narrates his adventures in Hawaii, his perilous navigation across the Pacific sailing through the windless doldrums to the Marquesas Islands, Typee, Papeete, Raiatea, Bora Bora, Fiji, Samoa and The Solomon Islands, before being overcome by tropical diseases and fever. This first person narrative, in its first recording as an audiobook, combines London’s spirit of adventure with his wonderful sense of humor. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andre Stojka.

Whispering in the Dark , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 366min
‘One by one the clocks of the town struck midnight, when the sounds died away the deep silence of windless night fell again over everything...’A great imagination makes for terrific ghost stories - stories that go beyond the tapping on the doors in the middle of a night or a whistling thrush or even a squeaky swing in the wind. This is a collection of some such horror stories selected and compiled by Ruskin Bond that will send shivers down your spine. There is Flaxman Low, the Sherlock Holmes of the supernatural, and his psychological detection by his creators E. and H. Heron; Algernon Blackwood’s ‘The Decoy’ and ‘The Empty House’, taking suspense to unbearable lengths; a friendly hoax in Perceval Landon’s ‘Thurnley Abbey’ that turns into real horror; Alice Perrin’s jungle thriller ‘The White Tiger’; and many more such tales that will spook you with the very best of suspense, mystery and the supernatural. ungekürzt.

The Head, the Heart and the Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min
In awe of her DNA, at war with her anxiety and at odds with her heartstrings, author Kaitlyn Wylde is never at a loss for words. In her new collection, The Head, The Heart & The Home, she gives her listeners orchestra seats to a timeless drama of love and intimacy, and struggling with the absence of them. Under the white-knuckled grip of anxiety, the chainmail blanket of despair and the windless knock of heartache, Wylde thrives as a storyteller. Together, these seventeen pieces map out the root of a voice. And while this collection, like most by Wylde, is extremely personal, listeners will have no trouble finding glimpses of themselves around every corner. In fact, it's inescapable. Kaitlyn Wylde is a Brooklyn-based non-fiction writer and poet. She graduated with a degree in poetry from the Riggio Honors Program for Creative Writing & Democracy at The New School University. Kaitlyn comes from a theatrical background and often blurs the lines between storytelling genres, a habit that she is happy to keep. Whether she's acting in a film, taking photographs, writing comedy or penning her next lovesick poem, she's happy to have the opportunity to tell a tale and share her life. Her willingness to open herself up to her audience has become a defining attribute to her budding career. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barbara Benjamin-Creel.
