    The Million Pound Bank Note, Hörbuch, Digital, 453min
    This story was published in 1893, in a bad decade for the United States and also a difficult time for Twain personally, as he was forced into bankruptcy and mourned the death of his favorite daughter, Suzy. The story still brims with confidence and optimism, marking the moment of hope just before Twain turned to the grim stories of his later years.The story takes place in Victorian London, where Henry Adams, the protagonist, has ended up destitute after a boating accident in the U.S. swept him out to sea. Two rich and eccentric brothers see him and give him an envelope with money inside it: a single bank note for one million pounds. Henry is the subject of a bet: one brother believes that the possession of the symbol of wealth, without any other means of support, will help him survive for the month. The other brother thinks that the prohibition against exchanging the note for cash will render it useless... this is the beginning of a fascinating and rewarding journey for Henry Adams!

    Midnight Fire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min
    Jack Delvaux is alive Summer Redding thought the blindingly handsome jock who'd loved and left her years ago had died in the Washington Massacre. She grieved for her lost golden boy as the rest of the country mourned their dead - until she comes home to find a very alive Jack Delvaux waiting for her with a devastating secret that turns her life upside down. No longer the carefree man he was in his youth, this Jack is dark, hard, and dangerous, a 15-year veteran of the CIA hungry for answers - and hungry for her. The rich, good-looking charmer who broke her heart once before would have been easy to resist, but this man, this powerful man? Summer needs him, and he knows it. When Jack's mission uncovers evidence of government involvement in the massacre - and plans for another attack - he's primed for revenge. But he has more than vengeance to live for now, and when Summer's life is threatened, it's nearly Jack's undoing. Someone taking shots at his woman? That's a dead man walking. ungekürzt.

    Lia Faileas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 463min
    Queen Boudicca mourned for her tribe. Ancient Britton burned as Londinium was razed to sulfur and dirt. She escaped the battle with the Roman invaders in hot pursuit and two daughters by her side. Her copper hair caught the Celtic breeze. Ireland was her destination. Prasutagus, her king and husband was dead. Her flesh was raped via Roman conquest of her girls. Blood ran down her sword dripping with foreign DNA. Her lineage of Bryonny, Tempest, Aurelia, and Flannery would tell the tale of the two bracelets, a curse on Stonehenge cast by the Druids, love that would conquer, and a story with visions and historic remnants of her mark as royal blood. Historians would love her, hate her, and worship her existence. A courageous beauty with a cloak of many colors joined via Tia Tephi and ancestors in the line of King David. They journeyed with the Diaspora. These will all join into a force of the present, past, and future united within her ancestral heritage to dispel the ancient curse forever. ungekürzt.

    Leni: The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 861min
    Leni Riefenstahl, "Hitler's filmmaker", remains one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century. Susan Sontag, though one of her severest critics, said that Triumph of the Will and Olympia, Riefenstahl's most noted films, "may be the two greatest documentaries ever made". Others see her story as an object lesson about opportunism: the story of an ambitious narcissist and unrepentant Nazi sympathizer whose glorifications of Hitler and the Third Reich helped pave the way for the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust. Bach lets the facts speak for themselves, including many newly uncovered, and the facts are rarely kind to Riefenstahl.We see Riefenstahl at the age of 100 as someone who could face the cameras to announce that, as a member of Greenpeace, she mourned the fates of sea creatures that die in transport from their native habitats to the aquariums of the world, but could not express remorse for the millions of Jews, gypsies, and others murdered by the Third Reich and the Fuhrer she elevated to myth. ungekürzt.

In all that time, the former Navy SEAL has been living off the grid to protect his wife and teenage daughter, who have mourned him and moved on.

    The Brontës: Veins Running Fire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
    The story of the Brontë family is one of incredible romance, immense genius, and haunting sadness. From humble beginnings in Ireland the Rev. Patrick Brontë rose to the very heart of the reforming evangelical movement of the 19th century; he was sponsored at Cambridge University in England by its great leader William Wilberforce. Patrick's daughters Emily, Charlotte and Anne came onto the pages of literary history with, amongst other work, their novels Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall which now grip the imagination of millions of people in the 21st century. Branwell, the most promising of Patrick s children is mourned for the wreck of his talent. All had the fire of deep emotions running in their veins.In The Brontës: Veins Running Fire, Derick Bingham seeks to trace the influence of Patrick Brontë's unfaltering evangelical faith on the lives and work of all his children. Here is faith in the face of unremitting tragedy, imagination soaring out of pitiful sadness and doubt vying with hope for dominance. The world will truly never see such a literary family again whose life story is very bit as fascinating as their fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew McDermott.
