an Trodai: Laoghaire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 209min
The fall of Cennetig mac Lorcain in 951 AD in a battle against the High King of Eirinn, Congalach Cnogba, began the succession of three of Cennetig's sons to thrones. Latchna followed his father as King of Thomond and less than three years later, Mathgamain mac Cennetig assumed the throne when Latchna was killed. Mathgamain and his brother, Brian, defeated Ivar of Limerick in 967 AD in the Battle of Sulcoit and Mathgamain took the title, King of Cashel. In 970 AD Mathgamain deposed Mael Muad mac Brain and took the title of King of Munster. Mael Muad resumed his kingship of Munster after murdering Mathgamain in 976 AD and Brian mac Cennetig now led the Dal gCais. In 978 AD, Brian defeated Mael Maud in the Battle of Bealach Lechta and began his rise to power. The an Trodai saga continues with Daigh and Saraid raising their three sons in Medieval Ireland. Ceara, Daigh's grandmother had a dream in 893 wherein she was visited by a dark figure of a woman who threatened to take her then-unborn son and all his sons after him to become great warriors. Neither Scolai nor Daigh were taken, but both became warriors for the Dal gCais. In 944 at the Battle of Gort Rotachain, Scolai was killed and Daigh severely wounded. Able to get around with a limp and an occasional crutch, Daigh became a full-time farmer as he and Saraid raised their sons, Garbhan, Laoghaire, and Tanai. One will die, one will become a farmer, and one will become a great warrior, fighting alongside of the future High King of Ireland. This fictional story follows real events and people of the late tenth century in southeast Ireland. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Meral Mathews.

Worth the Fighting For: The Education of an American Maverick, and the Heroes Who Inspired Him , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1108min
National Bestseller Senator John McCain tells the story of his great American journey, from the U.S. Navy to his electrifying campaign for the presidency in 2000, interwoven with heartfelt portraits of the mavericks who have inspired him through the years. After five and a half years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, naval aviator John McCain returned home a changed man. Regaining his health and flight-eligibility status, he resumed his military career, commanding carrier pilots and serving as the navy’s liaison to what is sometimes ironically called the world’s most exclusive club, the United States Senate. Accompanying Senators John Tower and Henry “Scoop” Jackson on international trips, McCain began his political education in the company of two masters, leaders whose standards he would strive to maintain upon his election to the U.S. Congress. There, he learned valuable lessons in cooperation from a good-humored congressman from the other party, Morris Udall. In 1986, McCain was elected to the U.S. Senate, inheriting the seat of another role model, Barry Goldwater. During his time in public office, McCain has seen acts of principle and acts of craven self-interest. He describes both extremes in these pages, with his characteristic straight talk and humor. He writes honestly of the lowest point in his career, the Keating Five savings and loan debacle, as well as his triumphant moments—his return to Vietnam and his efforts to normalize relations between the U.S. and Vietnamese governments; his fight for campaign finance reform; and his galvanizing bid for the presidency in 2000. Writes McCain: “A rebel without a cause is just a punk. Whatever you’re called—rebel, unorthodox, nonconformist, radical—it’s all self-indulgence without a good cause to give your life meaning.” This is the story of McCain’s causes, the people who made him do it, and the meaning he found.

The History of Rome, Book 2: From the Abolition of the Monarchy in Rome to the Union of Italy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 697min
Nobel Prize in Literature, 1902 Book two of Theodore Mommsen's history begins in 509 BC, when the last Roman king was expelled and a republican form of government was formed. Starting here, we trace Rome's political and cultural development under an aristocracy whose puritan fanaticism is legendary. But security from surrounding hostile tribes was of uppermost concern, and the city was constantly at war with one tribe or another. During the fifth century BC, the Republic's energies were directed toward uniting or subduing her nearby Latin-speaking neighbors. By the beginning of the fourth century BC, Rome was in control of a Latin league. Following the devastating sack of Rome in 390 BC by a Celtic tribe that descended from the Po Valley, the Republic quickly recovered and resumed its confrontation with neighboring tribes. By mid-fourth century the Etruscans to the north, the Sabines to the east, and the Volscians and other Campanian tribes in the south have been reduced. Only the mighty Samnites in the Apenines remained. After a war of almost 35 years, they surrendered. But in 280 BC the Italian Greek city-states become alarmed and invited the leading Greek general of the day, King Pyrrhus of Epirus, to be their champion. Thus began a grinding five-year war between Greek phalanxes and Roman legions. By 272 BC the last Greek city in Italy had capitulated, and Italy was united under Roman hegemony. Although Mommsen used the AUC system of Roman years, which begins as the Roman year 1 (754 BC), we have transposed these dates to those of the Christian era. All dates are BC except where otherwise indicated. We do not recommend Mommsen for those without a firm grasp of Roman Republican history. The work of Cyril Robinson would be a great place to start for the neophyte historian. Translated from the original German by W. P. Dickson.

Defusing the North Korean-U.S. Missile Crisis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min
In mid-2017, President Donald Trump let Kim Jong-un know that if his threats continued they would be met with “fire and fury the likes the world has never seen”. The scorching tweet went viral immediately. In response, the North Korean leader detonated a 100-kiloton hydrogen bomb, a successful test of a nuclear device which would be mounted on future missiles. The hostilities between North Korea and the US were daunting, but only the beginning of the growing animosity. Later in August, Kim Jong-un intensified the conflict, saying he was prepared to launch a Hwasong-12 intermediate range missile at the US occupied island of Guam. Infuriated, Trump warned with “all options are on the table”, meaning he was prepared to take whatever military action necessary. But in 2018, we all gave a sigh of relief when at the Trump-Kim summit, a new and friendlier dialogue surfaced between the two heads of state. Perhaps the fact that Pyongyang had now developed an ICBM capable of reaching the heart of America changed our outlook and policies on the rogue nation. Notwithstanding, Donald Trump has continued to dish out punishing sanctions for Kim Jong-un and shows no sign of removing pressure until North Korea abandons its missiles and nuclear program in its entirety. For several decades, we’ve witnessed the long arduous journey of nuclear threats and strife between the two nations.At the start of 2019, our hopes were on the Hanoi Summit, but it ended abruptly with no lunch and no concrete results. Meanwhile, North Korea has resumed its missile tests and President Donald Trump has just about run out of cards. Does he have a hidden ace somewhere? What if the North pushes for a Peace Treaty? At this point what do we have to lose? A peace treaty might not bring the full solution to the diplomatic quagmire, but it might be a step in the right direction. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Keep the Line Moving: A Reluctant Gangbang Short , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 24min, (USK 18)
Warning: this audiobook contains explicit descriptions of sexual activity including reluctant sex, rough deep throat, reluctant semen swallowing, rough anal sex, rough sex, double penetration, and gang bang sex. It is intended for mature listeners who will not be offended by graphic depictions of sexual acts between consenting adults. Hallie really likes Tristan, and it takes forever before he finally invites her to a party, but this party isn't like any other. Tristan arrives and enjoys some heavy petting with Tristan, but before she knows it, she's dragged to the center of the room, and a whole gang of men begin to explore her mouth, her pussy, and her ass. It doesn't matter to any of them that she's reluctant. She will endure rough deep throat, reluctant semen swallowing, rough anal sex, and rough double penetration. The really crazy thing, though, is that she'll enjoy every part of it! Here's a preview: Her heart began beating so hard that she thought it might eventually just give up. He slipped his tongue into her mouth and began to explore just as his hands began to roam down the front of her dress. His fingers brushed against her nipples, just as his friend entered with her soda. She jumped, but Tristan didn't even bother to pull his hand out of her dress. "Hey, thanks, man. Let the guys know that things are ready to roll." The guy nodded and left them alone again. Hallie watched him leave and wondered what Tristan had been talking about, but the moment he resumed kissing her, she forgot anything but the feel of his lips and his hands and his body. He slowly pushed back the straps of her dress, exposing her breasts in the low light. Moving his hands softly over them and then cupping them, he brought his head down and gave them each a kiss. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vivian Lee Fox.

Gruesome Iowa: Murder, Madness, and the Macabre in the Hawkeye State , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 230min
Murder, madness, and the macabre in Iowa? You've got to be kidding!When most people think of Iowa, their minds conjure up pigs, cornfields, and crotchety old farmers. But ax murders, mass killings, and ghostly sightings - those atrocities are reserved for big cities like Chicago or LA, not a little burg like Villisca, Iowa - population 2,000.People refuse to believe that a hundred years ago, every eye in the nation turned to Villisca, Iowa where eight people were butchered in their sleep by a madman using only an ax. Attention quickly turned to the Reverend Lyn Kelley, "a queer, strange, little preacher man", often accused of window peeping.The police forced a confession from him.Kelley said he was walking by the Moore house when a voice commanded him to, "Go in. Slay utterly". What could he do? He climbed the stairs and slaughtered the children. "Slay utterly. Suffer the little children".Back downstairs, he went into the parent's bedroom. "More work yet. There must be sacrifices of blood". Again, the ax did its work.In another downstairs bedroom, he discovered the Stillinger girls, asleep in their beds. "More work still". The ax resumed its work.Eight people were dead. The ax was satisfied.When Kelley recanted his confession, investigators turned their attention to Senator Frank Jones. Old-timers hinted there had been bad blood between Jones and Joe Moore (the deceased) ever since Moore left his position at Jones’ farm implement store and opened the local John Deere dealership.Another rumor had it; Joe Moore was sleeping with Albert Jones’ wife. But that theory didn’t hold water, either. Reports linked Dona Jones to half the men in Villisca.Detectives developed dozens of others suspects over the years, but none of them panned out. The Villisca Ax Murders remain Iowa’s most famous cold-case file.Gruesome Iowa is a collection of true-life stories - most of them rescued f ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Kenyon.

The Red Sphinx: Or, The Comte de Moret; A Sequel to The Three Musketeers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1429min
For the first time in English in over a century comes a new translation of the forgotten sequel to Dumas' The Three Musketeers, continuing the dramatic tale of Cardinal Richelieu and his implacable enemies. In 1844, Alexandre Dumas published The Three Musketeers, a novel so famous and still so popular today that it scarcely needs introduction. Shortly thereafter he wrote a sequel, Twenty Years After, that resumed the adventures of his swashbuckling heroes. Later, toward the end of his career, Dumas wrote The Red Sphinx, another direct sequel to The Three Musketeers that begins not 20 years later but a mere 20 days afterward. The Red Sphinx picks up right where the The Three Musketeers left off, continuing the stories of Cardinal Richelieu, Queen Anne, and King Louis XIII - and introducing a charming new hero, the Comte de Moret, a real historical figure from the period. A young cavalier newly arrived in Paris, Moret is an illegitimate son of the former king and thus half-brother to King Louis. The French Court seethes with intrigue as king, queen, and cardinal all vie for power, and young Moret soon finds himself up to his handsome neck in conspiracy, danger - and passionate romance. Dumas wrote 75 chapters of The Red Sphinx for serial publication but never finished it, and so the novel languished for almost a century before its first book publication in France in 1946. While Dumas never completed the book, he had earlier written a separate novella, The Dove, that recounted the final adventures of Moret and Cardinal Richelieu. Now for the first time, in one cohesive narrative, The Red Sphinx and The Dove make a complete and satisfying story line - a rip-roaring novel of historical adventure, heretofore unknown to English-language listeners, by the great Alexandre Dumas, king of the swashbucklers. ungekürzt.

Death in the Delta: Uncovering a Mississippi Family Secret , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 474min
Growing up, Molly Walling could not fathom the source of the dark and intense discomfort in her family home. Then in 2006 she discovered her father's complicity in the murder of two black men on December 12, 1946, in Anguilla, deep in the Mississippi Delta. Death in the Delta tells the story of one woman's search for the truth behind a closely held, sixty-year old family secret. Though the author's mother and father decided that they would protect their three children from that past, its effect was profound. When the story of a fatal shoot-out surfaced, apprehension turned into a devouring need to know. Each of Walling's trips from North Carolina to the Delta brought unsettling and unexpected clues. After a hearing before an all-white grand jury, her father's case was not prosecuted. Indeed, it appeared as if the incident never occurred, and he resumed his life as a small-town newspaper editor. Yet family members of one of the victims tell her their stories. A ninety-three-year-old black historian and witness gives context and advice. A county attorney suggests her family's history of commingling with black women was at the heart of the deadly confrontation. Firsthand, the author recognizes how privilege, entitlement, and racial bias in a wealthy, landed southern family resulted in a deadly abuse of power, followed by a stifling, decades-long cover up. Death in the Delta is a deeply personal account of a quest to confront a terrible legacy. Against the advice and warnings of family, Walling exposes her father's guilty agency in the deaths of Simon Toombs and David Jones. She also exposes his gift as a writer and creative thinker. The author, grappling with wrenching issues of family and honor, was long conflicted about making this story public. But her mission became one of hope that confronting the truth might somehow move others toward healing and reconciliation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angela L. Rice.
