The Running of the Tyrannosaurs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min
Somewhere outside this orbital spin-gravity cylinder burn a billion billion stars, but I burn brighter. On a far future space station, once each year, nano-engineered young women run genetically engineered tyrannosaurs in a race as brutal and bloody as any witnessed in the Roman Circus 3,000 years before. Egret thinks she is ready for this day. She has been brainwashed for it, trained for it, shaped and reshaped into a sacrificial model of beauty for the entertainment of millions. Her world is one of strict regimen and fierce competition, one in which others can only be competitors or worshippers, never friends, where lack of perfection is punished by burial beneath the red sands and the thundering feet of tyrannosaurs. But Egret can't imagine how this day might change her. How the scream of a tyrannosaur and the cries of the other sacrifices running beside her might break open the steel surface of her world. It is not a day you will forget. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amy McFadden. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/061476/bk_acx0_061476_sample.mp3.

Cries from the Earth, Hörbuch, Digital, 173min
Blow for blow, blood for blood, a heart-thundering account of the outbreak of the Nez Perce War, by America's best-selling historical frontier novelist.

By mid-1877, trouble in the Northwest is brewing like a foul broth. Ill will is growing between white settlers and the Non-Treaty bands of the Nez Perce. The American government is forcing the Indians from their homelands onto the reservation. Many go quietly, thinking more about their families than of the pride of their warriors. But for a few holdouts, there's no room for compromise. Their history, their heritage, and their ancestors are buried beneath that land. Although severely outnumbered and outgunned, a few brave warriors will heed the call of Cries from the Earth. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Foxworth.

The Thundering Herd: Farm Life in the 1950's and 60's; Looking Through the Lens of Duty in Vietnam. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 656min
These stories begin with brief family histories that bring the Peltier and the Scottish Keillor families together. John was the fifth of the 12 children that Wilburn and Barbara Peltier raised on the flat salt grass prairie of Southeast Texas after they married. The life they created for their family on their rice farm and cattle ranch provided fertile ground for the life experiences that are shared in these settings. At the age of 19, naïve and fresh from the farm, John was drafted into the US Army. After surviving boot camp and medical corpsman training, he found himself in Vietnam. John used his time in the military and its experiences as the backdrop to describe life growing up. Writing this book intensified the realization of the valuable life lessons that his family and the farm and ranch taught him. After mustering out of the Army in January of 1969, he settled back into civilian life and finished his education. Disaster struck in 1969 when his father suddenly died of a heart attack at the age of 54, leaving five of his siblings still at home and all without a father. He discovered the two earthy loves of his live - his wife Janie and the vocation of construction - at the same time and place. As a result, Janie and John have a beautiful family and he birthed Peltier Brothers Construction, a company that has provided a great livelihood not only for him and four of his brothers, but for nephews down into the next generation. Both Janie and the company also taught him lessons he never expected to learn. Those stories, plus an incident with the fangs of a deadly rattlesnake and a light essay on grass and water, are included in this book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John E. Peltier.

The Beginning: The Cradle of the Raptor, Book One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 454min
Life could be beautiful and idyllic on the little Raptor farm nestled among the shady green forests and sunny meadows of the Big Timber Indian Reservation. But strange and powerful forces were tearing the tiny mission church apart at the seams. Tough and ruggedly handsome Carl Raptor with his coldly competent wife, Charlotte, were raising their small sons in this remote place where the passions and stresses were beyond Carl’s ability to cope. For the Raptor boys, the exhilarating freedom of exploring thousands of acres of wild, game-rich reservation land and thundering their horses down gravel and dirt logging roads would instantly evaporate when their father lost all control and used them to work off his white hot fits of rage. The two oldest sons seemed able to cope, but Michael, the third son, lived in near-constant fear. The beatings and torments increased as Carl’s stress levels rose, and while the welts and bruises on their small bodies healed fairly quickly, the emotional and psychological scarring of Michael’s soul would take many years to heal. This is his story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Taylor. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/213185/bk_acx0_213185_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible
