Veruchia: Dumarest of Terra #8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 307min

I want you to protect Veruchia, Selkas said. "I will pay you well." "Protect her from what?" Dumarest looked at the modest appointments of the kitchen. "A woman alone, of no great means and no apparent position, who could possibly want to harm her?" "There are two heirs to a fortune and one is ambitious. Is that reason enough?" "Perhaps, if the fortune is large enough. And if the ambitious one is sure to get the other's legacy. Is it large?" "Very large. The entire world in fact. Veruchia stands to inherit the whole of Dradea." Somewhere on Dradea is an assassin who will stop at nothing. But Dumarest will take the assignment - for also on Dradea lies a clue to his obsessive quest for a planet that may be only a legend... a planet called Earth. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Hunters Unlucky , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1456min

Storm is born into a world of secrets - an island no one visits, names no one will say, and deaths that no one will talk about. The answers are locked in his species' troubled past, guarded by the fierce creasia cats. But when Storm's friends are threatened, he decides that he must act, pitting himself against the creasia to show that they can be resisted and outwitted. To prove his point, he must stay one step ahead of clever hunters, who have more to lose than Storm imagines. Hunters Unlucky is an animal story for anyone who loved Richard Adams's Watership Down, Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book, and Jack London's Call of the Wild. Kids who enjoyed Erin Hunter's Warriors books will also enjoy Hunters. The animals in this story do not carry swords, walk on two legs, or drink tea. They fight. They starve. Sometimes, they eat each other. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rish Outfield. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/026172/bk_acx0_026172_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Sixteen-year-old Ryan Matthews had always been the "cool" kid in school, but being cool doesn't get him a free pass into Heaven.

That is, until he learns that "someone" means Zachary Adams, his old classmate and the world’s biggest geek. Convincing Zachary that he’s his angel isn’t an easy task. Especially since Ryan hadn’t exactly been nice to him when they were in school together. But Ryan is determined to see this assignment through, especially when he begins to see life through the eyes of a geek. To make up for the way he’d treated Zachary, Ryan is not only going to teach him how to fit in.

When We Were Young: Short Stories from Panamindorah, Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 335min

Everybody was young once. Even the most confident people were once uncertain, the most ferocious were once frightened, and the most competent were once naive. We all met our best friends somewhere and not always under the best conditions. In this collection of short stories from the world of Panamindorah, Silveo meets Basil, Silas meets Percy, Anaroo meets Gwain, Gus meets Silas, and Gerard prepares to meet Thessalyn. Dakar and Theseus are tiny children, caught up in the machinations of others; Glossy makes impossibly difficult decisions for herself and her child; and Marlie struggles with the ghosts of her past and present. All of them will find their places in the world, often far from where they started. For the moment, however, they are doing everything for the first time. These stories will make the most sense if you have heard The Guild of the Cowry Catchers series and The Scarlet Albatross. However, if you haven't listened to one or both of those stories, you'll still understand most of what's going on. The titles in this collection are: "Harbor Wave", "Dark Heart", "Quarantine", "Taking Tricks", "Anaroo of the Defiance", "Letter of Reference", "Chimera", "Fire From Heaven", and "Ghosts". ungekürzt.

The Scarlet Albatross: A Story of Airships and Panamindorah: Refugees, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 682min

A delicate ship. A fractured crew. A mysterious weapon. Anaroo is an airship slave, destined to spend her days running on a treadmill, winding the great springs of the Scarlet Albatross. When a storm threatens to sink the ship, Anaroo and her fellow slaves seize the opportunity to escape. Now, at last, she can go home. However, the airship nearly sank for a reason - violent unrest among the island kingdoms below. The world is changing, and the surviving inhabitants of the Scarlet Albatross will need to cooperate to survive. Anaroo and the slaves form an uneasy truce with the strange collection of ship's officers and passengers, none of who are what they seem. Together, the mismatched crew will take the Scarlet Albatross on the most harrowing flight of her career - through storms, pirates, bloodshed, and war. In the end none of them may be able to go home. The Refugees series is related to the Guild of the Cowry Catchers series and occurs immediately after the events in those books. However, Albatross is a suitable entry point in the world of Panamindorah. You can enjoy this book even if you have never listened to any other Panamindorah novels. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Baseball's Best Ever: A Half Century of Covering Hall of Famers

"Big-league baseball is subtle; cloaked in summer languor, moving with the slow, supple grace of a ballerina practicing backstage, yet taut and technical in its skills. To view a baseball game and appreciate it takes concentration." So begins Baseball's Best Ever. Encompassing a selection of some one hundred columns and featured stories written over 50-plus years, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist share stories on some of the greatest baseball players to ever grace the diamond. But rather than snippets and information known to anyone following the game, Berkow, shares insights on these men: men dealing with tragedy, struggle, highs and lows-showing that while they we at the top of the game, at the end of the day they are mere mortals. With stories from Satchel Paige throwing his "bow tie pitch" close to a batter's brow, the humorous side of Phil Rizzuto and Casey Stengel, a rookie Carl Yastrzemski battling through a slump, and Ted Williams talking about is favorite subject-no, not hitting: fishing. Arranged by decade, Berkow shares his interactions with those at the top of their game. We all know their stats and accolades, but not many fans truly know the person under the uniform. Offering an inside view as to who these men truly are, readers will be able to better understand their favorite ballplayers. While they have accomplished things we only do in our dreams, you will see that these men, under the surface, are no different than any of us. Though we may never hit like Joe DiMaggio or Babe Ruth, play the outfield like Willie Mays, or run the bases like Jackie Robinson, Berkow offers us a view of these stars that only an acclaimed journalist can. And with a half century of reporting under his belt, Baseball's Best Ever will let readers onto the field, in the dugout and locker room, and at home with their family and friends.
