    All She Wrote: Holmes and Moriarity, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 446min
    A murderous fall down icy stairs is nearly the death of Anna Hitchcock, the much-beloved "American Agatha Christie" and Christopher Holmes' former mentor. Anna's plea for him to host her annual winter writing retreat touches all Kit's sore spots - traveling, teaching writing classes, and separation from his new lover, J. X. Moriarity. For J. X., Kit's cancellation of yet another romantic weekend is the death knell of a relationship that has been limping along for months. But that's just as well, right? Kit isn't ready for anything serious and besides, Kit owes Anna far too much to refuse. Faster than you can say "Miss Marple wears boxer shorts", Kit is snooping around Anna's elegant, snowbound mansion in the Berkshires for clues as to who's trying to kill her. A tough task with six amateur sleuths underfoot. Six budding writers with a tangled web of dark undercurrents running among them. Slowly, Kit gets the uneasy feeling that the secret may lie between the pages of someone's fictional past. Unfortunately, a clever killer is one step ahead. And it may be too late for J. X. to ride to the rescue. Warning: Contains one irascible, 40-year-old mystery writer who desperately needs to get laid, one exasperated 30-something ex-cop only too happy to oblige, an isolated country manor that needs the thermostat cranked up, various assorted aspiring and perspiring authors, and a merciless killer who may have read one too many mystery novels. ungekürzt.

    The Shadow Legions: Crimson Worlds, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 581min
    The war with the First Imperium is over, and Grand Fleet is limping home from the frontier. Erik Cain, Augustus Garret, and the rest of the high command are grimly satisfied that humanity has been saved from the First Imperium menace. There is no joy, however…no elation at the “victory.” The losses this time were too heavy…too personal…to bear. They did what had to be done to drive back the enemy and save the human worlds from certain destruction. Now they were left to find a way to live with the gut wrenching decisions that victory had required. Augustus Garret needed time. Time for repairs, time to replace losses, time to learn how to go on in the aftermath of what he’d done. But the fleet wasn’t heading for a well-deserved rest…they were moving into another firestorm. A new menace, one as deadly as the First Imperium, was waiting for them, and it threatened to shatter the fragile alliance of the Earth powers and throw all of human space into another desperate war…one that might be the final confrontation. On world after world, mysterious forces are invading, taking control of the most vital colonies. The invaders are well-drilled powered infantry, veteran forces that quickly shattered the planetary militias and established brutal occupation regimes. Garret, Cain, and the leaders of the Alliance’s forces must rally themselves once again to face this new threat…an unknown enemy that is as well trained, experienced, and equipped as the Marines themselves. Indeed, on some colony worlds rumors are already spreading that the invaders are the Marines themselves, that they have come to conquer, to rule… ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Bower.

    Great Home Runs of the 20th Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 376min
    The home run is the single most dramatic moment in baseball. Often it has been the exclamation point that appears at the end of a game, a season, a playoff, or a World Series. For fans, certain images such as that of Carlton Fisk urging his shot fair over Green Monster or of Kirk Gibson limping around the bases are engraved in memory. From Babe Ruth to Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, the author tells of the stories of what he has selected as the thirty most memorable home runs. Many of the stories include comments from the author's interviews with home run hitters. Other sections cover sixty additional noteworthy home runs, All Star Game home runs, and milestones such as total home run production and grand slams. In Rich Westcott's journey through baseball history, fans will encounter the most famous moments and longest blast, as well as fascinating sidelights like these about balls that didn't travel as far. Who won a home run title without hitting a single ball out of the park? Who hit the first inside-the-park home run in a World Series game? Who hit the shortest home run, one that failed to reach the pitcher's mound? Ty Cobb won the title in 1909 with nine inside-the-park home runs. Casey Stengel for the New York Giants in 1923. Andy Oyler of the Minnesota Millers scored on a two-foot drive into a mud puddle in front of home plate during a game in 1900. Currently, Westcott teaches sports writing at LaSalle University and is an official scorer at Phillies games. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary L. Willprecht.

    I'm Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 246min
    This hilarious part memoir, part manifesto reveals what sets apart the latest generation of young people coming of age in an all-wired, overeducated, and underemployed world. People are obsessed with Ryan O'Connell's blogs. With tens of thousands reading his pieces on Thought Catalog and Vice, watching his videos on YouTube, and hanging on to each and every #dark tweet, Ryan has established himself as a unique young voice who's not afraid to dole out some real talk. He's that candid, snarky friend you consult when you fear you're spending too much time falling down virtual k-holes stalking your ex on Facebook or when you've made the all-too-common mistake of befriending a psycho while wasted at last night's party and need to find a way to get rid of them the next morning. But Ryan didn't always have the answers to these modern-day dilemmas. Growing up gay and disabled with cerebral palsy, he constantly felt like he was one step behind everybody else. Then the rude curveball known as his 20s happened, and things got even more confusing. Ryan spent years as a millennial cliché: he had dead-end internships; dabbled in unemployment; worked in his pajamas as a blogger; communicated mostly via text; looked for love online; spent hundreds on "necessary" items, like candles, while claiming to have no money; and even descended into aimless pill-popping. But through extensive trial and error, Ryan eventually figured out how to take his life from bleak to chic and began limping toward adulthood. Sharp and entertaining, I'm Special will educate 20somethings (or other adolescents at heart) on what not to do if they ever want to become happy, fully functioning grownups with 401(k)s and dogs. ungekürzt.

    World War 2 Women: Incredible Stories and Accounts of World War 2 Women Spies, Heroes and Informers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min
    Book two of the incredible stories and accounts of World War 2 women spies, heroes and informers! Clichéd though it may be, a human being's true strength of character is reflected in the most difficult of times. The world had to sit up and take note of just how strong a woman could be when the two world wars hit. Even taking the side of the traditionalists, one couldn't deny that women were as important to the war as men were. This so-called weaker sex had to fight their own battles within their homes - their husbands, fathers and brothers went to face the enemy on the front lines while they fought tooth and nail to keep the family running. And still more women went to the actual battlefront itself! Women had a unique advantage over the men: They could blend into the background seamlessly, precisely because of the prevalent sexist attitudes of the times. Their bravery, their self-sacrifice, and their daring cannot be forgotten, for without them, the war could have been lost and the world we live in today could be a very different place. This book chronicles the stories of four such women - Noor Inayat Khan, Krystyna Starbek, Virginia Hall, and Pearl Witherington - all of whom put their lives on the line for their countries. They made no apologies or excuses about who they were and quietly went about changing the face of the war, helping the Allied Powers take on the power-crazed men of Nazi Germany and come out victorious. Here is a preview of what you'll learn.... The Woman with Many Faces - Krystyna Skarbek Noor Inayat Khan - The Warrior Princess Pearl Witherington The Limping Lady - Virginia Hall The amazing and brave stories of women in World War 2 Much, much more! If World War 2 stories of women spies and heroes fascinate you, then download book two of this popular series! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rick Baverstock.

    The Totorore Voyage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 968min
    I love the sea; I love the birds; I love adventure. In what better way could I indulge myself, in these later years of my life, than to undertake an expedition in the great Southern Ocean? In 1983, at the age of 56, Gerry Clark set out from New Zealand in his 10-meter homemade wooden yacht to circumnavigate Antarctica in a quest for new information about seabirds. In this graphic account of the ensuing three-year-eight-month voyage, he describes his adventures in some of the remotest, wildest, and most spectacularly beautiful parts of the world. Below the clouds which hid the mountain peaks, the icefields above the glacier shone with a weird, mauvish light. There are many strange icebergs: a cathedral, a fine gothic arch, and a huge and voluptuous female torso. Gerry and his crew members visited Robinson Crusoe Island, little known islands in the Chilean Archipelago, and the infamous Cape Horn, where they camped on the very peak to make important bird discoveries. They spent many months sailing around the Falklands and South Georgia, and narrowly escaped being trapped by pack ice on a trip to the Antarctic Peninsula. Sailing from South Georgia to Punta Arenas, Totorore was dismasted; and again between Cape Town and Marion Island. On this occasion, Gerry had to cut the mast and rigging adrift. He continued alone under jury-rig, and Totorore rolled five times in two of the most terrifying storms yet encountered. With the engine out of action and the jury-mast gone, the voyage became a desperate struggle for survival ending with Totorore limping into Fremantle two-and-a-half months later. In this remarkable adventure story of resilience and resourcefulness in the face of perils and disappointments, we share the author's determination to survive and his exhilaration at each new discovery. It's an enthralling story for anyone interested in the sea and the birdlife of the Southern Oceans. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Pierard.

    As Life Goes On , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 240min
    One phone call hurt Rosalie so much. Bob's boss told her that her brother has to retire because he wasn't as reliable as he used to be, and the company didn't want to be liable for any accident caused by his disability. She couldn't believe that the company whom Bob served for 40 years treated him like a thing - he was dispensable. Nonetheless, she agreed that her brother has to retire. Robert "Bob" Contino was diagnosed with a mild case of "schizophrenia", or as Dad used to say, "A tip of the iceberg. A tip," as a young man, and Rosalie knew that taking care of her 61-year-old brother would be a challenge. She noticed her brother's limping, but Bob was more physically sick than she thought. As laboratory tests were administered to him, more and more ailments manifested themselves - some even fatal. For the love of Bob, Rosalie put off many of her plans to take care of him as she has vowed to their deceased parents. He annoyed her with his sarcasm and impertinence, but looking back at her brother's life and the painful experiences he had to endure, she put everything into its proper perspective and remembered Bob fondly, as she reflects on the lessons. Dr. Rosalie H. Contino, PhD, was born, raised, and still lives in Brooklyn, New York. She attended Fordham University, where she received her bachelor's degree in elementary education. After college, Rosalie taught grammar school in Fort Greene before she transferred to a junior high in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn in order to teach English. After years of working with kids in the after-school theater program, she pursued both her master's and doctor's degree in educational theater and costume design at the New York University. Now that she has retired, she enjoys being a writer, playwright, costume designer, as well as a lecturer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Zandria Drake.
