Leopard Sword: Empire IV , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 830min
Britannia has been subdued - and an epic new chapter in Marcus Valerius Aquila's life begins. The murderous Roman agents who nearly captured Marcus have been defeated by his friends. But in order to protect those very friends from the wrath of the emperor, he must leave the province that has been giving him shelter. As Marcus Tribulus Corvus, centurion of the second Tungrian auxiliary cohort, he leads his men from Hadrian's Wall to the Tungrians' original home in Germania Inferior. There he finds a very different world from the turbulent British frontier - but one with its own dangers. Tungrorum, the centre of a once-prosperous farming province, a city already brought low by the ravages of the eastern plague that has swept through the empire, is now threatened by an outbreak of brutally violent robbery. A bandit chieftain called Obduro, his identity always hidden behind an iron cavalry helmet, is robbing and killing with impunity. His sword - sharper, stronger, and more deadly than any known to the Roman army - is the lethal symbol of his unstoppable power. And now he has moved beyond mere theft and threatens to destabilize the whole northern frontier of the empire.… ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Saul Reichlin.

A Slant of Light , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 830min
At the close of the Civil War, weary veteran Malcolm Hopeton returns to his home in Western New York State to find his wife and hired man missing and his farm in disrepair. A double murder ensues, the repercussions of which ripple through a community with spiritual roots in the Second Great Awakening. Hopeton has gone from the horrors of war to those far worse, and arrayed around him are a host of other people struggling to make sense of his crime. Among them is Enoch Stone, the lawyer for the community, whose spiritual dedication is subverted by his lust for power; August Swarthout, whose wife has left earthly time and whose eye is set on eternity; and a boy who must straddle two worlds as he finds his own truth and strength. Always there is love and the memory of love - as haunting as the American Eden that Jeffrey Lent has so exquisitely rendered in this unforgettable novel. A Slant of Light is a novel of earthly pleasure and deep love, of loss and war, of prophets and followers, of theft and revenge, in an American moment where a seemingly golden age has been shattered. This is Jeffrey Lent on his home ground and at the height of his powers. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen McLaughlin.

The Making of John Lennon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 830min
Despite the nearly universal fame of the Beatles, many people only know the fairytale version of the iconic group’s rise to fame. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of Liverpool, Francis Kenny reveals the real John Lennon who preceded the legend, showing how his childhood shaped his personality, creative process, and path to success, and how it also destroyed his mental health, leading to the downfall of one of the most confident and brilliant musicians of the past century. The Making of John Lennon is a must-listen for any Beatles fan. It explains how Lennon’s turbulent family background affected his relationships, why the true inspiration for “Strawberry Fields” could not be revealed, how Pete Best's college connection led to his removal from the group, and why class backgrounds were the real reason for the breakup of the legendary band. Offering a complex portrait of Lennon’s early life, The Making of John Lennon tells the true story behind the rise of the legendary icon. The book is published by Indiana University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. "A carefully prepared examination of his early years, slowly examining the general picture that surrounded John’s life...."

Far from the Madding Crowd , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 830min
Thomas Hardy's novel Far from the Madding Crowd, which first appeared in Cornhill Magazine in monthly installments back in the late 19th century, features the love life of the young Bathsheba Everdene who is as poor as she is beautiful. Fortunately, Bathsheba's uncle leaves her his farm, which she goes to manage in the small town of Weatherbury. Before she leaves, however, she has an interesting encounter with a young farmer, Gabriel Oak, for whom she does a tremendous favor, and he becomes indebted to her, not to mention enamored. Bathsheba resists his advances, but the two cross paths again when he comes to her farm seeking work, and she hires him as the shepherd on her newly acquired farm. Though Gabriel is still in love with her, Bathsheba successfully seduces her neighbor, Mr. Boldwood, and knows just how to play with his emotions to keep him hanging onto her every word. After denying him once, she tells him that she'll consider his offer to be with him. Yet shortly after, she meets Sergeant Troy, who also becomes enamored with her. With blatant disregard for Mr. Boldwood, Bathsheba makes another series of decisions that unfortunately don't bring her luck or happiness, as she learns of a harrowing detail about her fiancé right before he mysteriously disappears. In the end, Bathsheba learns to be complacent and patient, and eventually acquires exactly what she always needed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David McCallion.

Cowgirl Education: A Camden Ranch Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 830min
Former British rockstar Declan St. James knows sex, and he knows women. What he doesn’t know is how to stop running from his past mistakes. Holly Camden can’t seem to balance her wild cowgirl side with her quest to become a psychologist. When they meet, he sweeps her off her boot-blistered feet and into his arms with a promise to teach her all of the finer points of making love (the dirtier, the better). And with one scorching kiss, Holly knows it isn’t balance she needs. It’s him. There's only one problem. Declan is also Holly’s human sexuality professor. And there’s much more on the line than an academic code of ethics. No one can know they’re together. Drawn to one another with magnetizing force, they cannot stay apart. If they’re found out, his career, her education, his citizenship, everything she’s worked so hard for, and his last chance to succeed at something that might take away all of the pain he inflicted in his youth go up in flames.But the lessons Holly requests are more than he could ever deny either of them. Will the fire burning between them be enough to make it worth everything that could be destroyed when their relationship is discovered? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jackson Kincaid.
