    Insistent Oracles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 886min
    Lyta and Carl are astronomy grad students who hardly know each other and are trying to figure out their lives. Arbitrarily thrown together on a project, they make a surprising discovery: an unobtrusive light in the sky shows signs of being an alien spacecraft. As they study the object more closely, they start receiving a stream of information that creates an unexpected bond with it, each other, their government, and ultimately humanity as a whole. Their story mixes first-contact science fiction, romantic drama, and technological thriller, as they negotiate the difficult questions their discoveries raise, and the extreme reactions the answers cause in others. Their unique status, as sources of otherwise unobtainable knowledge, causes others to vilify them, revere them, or try to take permanent possession of them, but the biggest question still remains: In a world full of opportunities and responsibilities, what is the best way to live their lives? The cover picture is "Dream of a Starry Sky" by Tama Wang. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stacey Tappan, Wesley James. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/128519/bk_acx0_128519_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Klondike Stampede , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 706min
    Gold was discovered in the Klondike in August 16, 1896.  When news of the discovery arrived in Seattle and San Francisco the following year it triggered one of the largest gold rushes in the history of North America.  Tappan Adney, a young writer and photographer who worked for Harper's Weekly, set out on a journey to uncover and record what it was like in the Klondike stampede.  This audiobook is a fascinating portrayal of adventurers and prospectors who descended on the Yukon during this extraordinary event in the late 19th century.  Adney explains in vivid detail the treacherous route that these gold-hunters were forced to make in order to make it to the Yukon. The White and Chilkoot Passes were fatal for many who attempted to get through them with poor equipment. He stayed in Dawson, where the gold rush was centered, from October 2nd through to September 16th the following year. While there he interviewed men and women who hoped to make their fortune, observed the community that had seemingly sprung up overnight, and recorded in detail how the prospectors searched for gold. ungekürzt.

    Amistad
    1839, die Küste Kubas:Das Sklavenschiff "La Amistad" ist unterwegs von Afrika nach Nordamerika, als es den 53 an Bord befindlichen Sklaven gelingt, sich zu befreien. Mit Ausnahme von zwei Portugiesen bringen sie die gesamte Besatzung um und versuchen, zurück gen Heimat zu segeln. Auf der Flucht werden sie jedoch von einem US-Kriegsschiff abgefangen und an der Küste Conneticuts an Land gebracht, wo sie in Ketten gelegt und des Mordes angeklagt werden.Hinzu kommt, das verschiedene Parteien die Sklaven als ihren Besitz deklarieren: die beiden überlebenden Besatzungsmitglieder, Staatssekretär John Forsyth (David Paymer) im Auftrag des für seine Wiederwahl kämpfenden Präsidenten Martin Van Buren (Nigel Hawthorne) und die spanische Kindkönigin Isabella II (Anna Paquin). Die einzige Hoffnung der Schwarzen besteht in den drei Sklaverei-Gegner Theodore Joadson (Morgan Freeman), Lewis Tappan (Stellan Skarsgard) und Roger Baldwin (Matthew McConaughey). Angeführt von dem stolzen und unbeugsamen Cinque (Djimon Hounsou) werden die Angeklagten Sklaven zum Spielball einer Justizfarce, als der Präsident unter dem Druck der einflussreichen Südstaaten den Freispruch in erster Instanz überwirft und der Fall schließlich bis vor den Obersten Gerichtshof geht.Es bedarf letztendlich des Plädoyers des Ex-Präsidenten Quincy Adams (Anthony Hopkins), um der Farce ein Ende zu bereiten.

    Diablo Mesa (eBook, ePUB)
    Fan favourites Nora Kelly and Corrie Swanson return in the new thriller from international bestsellers Preston and Child. Forced to leave her post at the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute, Nora Kelly is left without a job and without any prospects. So when billionaire Lucas Tappan invites her to lead his excavation of the infamous Roswell landing site, she has no choice but to make a decision that could destroy her reputation. Armed with a healthy dose of scepticism, Nora reluctantly agrees to visit the site. When the preliminary scans of the area reveal a suspected Native American burial site, Nora takes a closer look. But this is no indigenous burial site. It's a crime scene, and a recent one at that. Nora uncovers two dead bodies, one with a bullet hole in its skull, acid used to conceal the identities. Dead bodies mean this has become a case for the FBI, and Nora knows just the person to investigate - Special Agent Corrie Swanson. As Corrie and Nora dig deeper into the mystery, they will uncover more questions than answers. And the truth they seek will be even stranger than the conspiracy it hides behind. 'Down-to-earth action tackles an otherworldly mystery in this devilishly plausible yarn' KIRKUS starred review

    Silvermane: A Western Quartet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 363min
    From beloved author Zane Grey come four thrilling tales of the West. The very essence of the American West can be found in the stories of Zane Grey, an author whose popularity has not flagged since his first novel was published. "Silvermane" is concerned with the efforts of two Mormon mustangers, brothers Lee and Cuth Stewart, to capture a wild stallion in the Sevier range country. "Tappan's Burro", with the text restored from the author's handwritten manuscript, tells of the life of a desert prospector and his burro, Jenet. Tappan dreams of finding gold - and does. When he is pursued by claim jumpers, it is Jenet who guides him across the floor of Death Valley when it is beset by suffocating gales of nocturnal heat and gas. "Cañon Walls", also restored according to the author's holographic manuscript, is the story of outlaw Smoke Bellew, who enters a remote Mormon settlement only a jump ahead of a posse. Finding employment as a ranch hand working for a dowager Mormon, Smoke is able to make her ranch a financial success while simultaneously falling in love with her wanton daughter, Rebecca. But it is too good to last. "From Missouri", its text restored as well, is a story about a schoolteacher from the East who is discouraged from coming to Arizona Territory by letters forged by three cowhands. But the mysterious Frank Owens' love letters convince her she must come anyway. When Jane Stacey does arrive, to the amazement of the three cowhands, she is not the middle-aged matron they had expected but a young and very attractive woman. However, the lecherous Beady Jones has his own idea of how the new schoolmarm should be introduced to the West. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Traber Burns.
