Raising Caine: Caine Riordan, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1313min
Caine Riordan, reluctant diplomatic and military intelligence operative, has just finished playing his part repulsing the Arat Kur's and Hkh'Rkh's joint invasion of Earth. But scant hours after the attackers surrender, the mysterious but potentially helpful Slaasriithi appeal to Caine to shepherd a diplomatic mission on a visit to their very alien worlds. The possible prize: a crucial alliance in a universe where the fledgling Consolidated Terran Republic has very few friends. But Caine and his legation aren't the only ones journeying into the unknown reaches of Slaasriithi space. A group of renegade K'tor are following them, intending to destroy humanity's hopes for a quick alliance. And that means finding and killing Caine Riordan. Assuming that the bizarre and dangerous Slaasriithi lifeforms don't do it first. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Pariseau.

34 Months: Attitude and Survival as a Korean POW , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 283min
For 34 months, while wounded and struggling to survive in Korean War prison camps, Felix Ferranto recited the Lord's Prayer daily and dreamed of being free and with his family. Proper "attitude" and having learned enough of the Chinese language and culture during his time with the American Legation Guard in Peiping, China would be critical for his survival. A radio relay platoon commander in the 1st Marine Division, Felix was wounded at the time of his capture by Chinese forces in November, 1950. During the time he was in captivity, he kept meticulous notes of the other prisoners he met. When one died, he put a rectangle around his name, hiding the papers from his captors in a shaving cream canister that he had emptied. Meanwhile, his family in Oceanside, California, clung to its only thread of hope: a letter his wife received shortly after his capture. The letter was snuck out of the prison camp by a Chinese doctor. It was the doctor's way of repaying Felix for saving his life during an attack by Allied aircraft. In an attempt to electrocute a North Korean major, Felix rigged a radio. The effort was unsuccessful, leading to prolonged solitary confinement. His "attitude," while in the depth of unimaginable, life or death circumstances is what kept him alive. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derek Botten.

Secret Agent X #4 May, 1934 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
A master of evil came to the nation's capital. A green-masked ambassador from Hell's own legation, followed by a horrible horde, versed in the poison torments of the Far East! Even the police who sought to trap him, did not guess the ghastliness of his real motive. That remained for Secret Agent "X" to discover, as he prowled through a dark, and sinister labyrinth of Washington espionage. A nameless mystery man with a wartime past, backed by a shadowy group of powerful philanthropists, Secret Agent "X" took on the toughest assignments of the dirty thirties. Operating out of the half-haunted Montgomery Mansion, "X" was also known as the Man of a Thousand Faces. A past master of disguise, he infiltrated the Underworld to crush crime, in all of its hideous manifestations. For Secret Agent "X," Rose Wyn decided to pit him against villains who were maestros of unbridled horror. Melodrama was the rule of the day. But Secret Agent "X" plunged into maelstroms of raw bloodlust undreamed of by The Shadow and Doc Savage. His foes were truly depraved. Terrorists. Torturers. Kidnappers. Stranglers. Arsonists. These were the types of tabloid master criminals "X" hunted. In Ambassador of Doom, the enigmatic "X" travels to Washington, D.C., to investigate skullduggery in our nation's capital. There, he gets on the trail of the Green Mask, a murderous master of espionage, whose ultimate loyalties are impenetrable. Before the trail of treachery has been exhausted, Secret Agent "X" will have struggled through Malay torture rites and worse, in order to preserve America's deepest secrets from an implacable foreign foe. Ambassador of Doom was originally published in the May, 1934 Secret Agent "X" magazine and is read with chilling intensity by Milton Bagby. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Milton Bagby.
