    Redemption: Stryker, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 333min
    ISIS unleashed a weaponized version of the deadly Ebola virus, killing 97 percent of the world's population. Only the immune and those who hunkered down in remote locations remain. Through the chaos that remains strides a giant of a man known only as Stryker. He is a former Force Recon Marine who has lost as much as anyone, but fights to preserve his honor and creed in the face of slave traders and rogue military elements who prey on the innocent. Edwards, his former battle buddy, joins him. Together, they care for three young women who survived the plague and attempt to give them lives that are as normal as possible under the circumstances. After things began to settle down, Stryker and his group started looking for a better place to live and during the search they witness ISIS fighters unloading from freighters in the Corpus Christi, Texas, harbor. Our band of heroes face several encounters with danger, including the epic battle with the band of ISIS terrorists who have invaded the homeland with the intent of occupying what is left of the United States. But, Stryker has another idea for the terrorists: elimination. After concluding their battle with ISIS, with the help of an air strike from a still-functioning US Navy aircraft carrier, the group strikes off to make a new life in San Diego, where the captain of the carrier has decided to berth the ship and use the nuclear reactor to power the San Diego Naval Station and to begin efforts at rebuilding the country. Stryker marries Erin, and shortly thereafter they leave on another harrowing mission to rescue a downed pilot from the carrier, and soon find themselves in another life-threatening situation. Follow along as the former Recon Marine and others overcome obstacles and danger in an effort to keep what is left of the American population safe. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Donovan's Devils: OSS Commandos Behind Enemy Lines - Europe, World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 733min
    The stirring, little-known story of the forerunners to today's Special Forces. The OSS - Office of Strategic Services - created under the command of William Donovan, has been celebrated for its cloak-and-dagger operations during World War II and as the precursor of the CIA. As the "Oh So Social", it has also been portrayed as a club for the well-connected before, during, and after the war. Donovan's Devils tells the story of a different OSS, that of ordinary soldiers, recruited from among first- and second-generation immigrants, who volunteered for dangerous duty behind enemy lines and risked their lives in Italy, France, the Balkans, and elsewhere in Europe. Organized into Operational Groups, they infiltrated into enemy territory by air or sea and operated for days, weeks, or months hundreds of miles from the closest Allied troops. They performed sabotage, organized native resistance, and rescued downed airmen, nurses, and prisoners of war. Their enemy showed them no mercy, and sometimes their closest friends betrayed them. They were the precursors to today's Special Forces operators. Based on declassified OSS records, personal collections, and oral histories of participants from both sides of the conflict, Donovan's Devils provides the most comprehensive account to date of the Operational Group activities, including a detailed narrative of the ill-fated Ginny mission, which resulted in the one of the OSS's gravest losses of the war. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history - books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more.

    Cornered by the Coven: A Group Sex Erotica Story with the Girls in Charge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 26min, (USK 18)
    Best-selling erotica author Molly Synthia likes to think a little bit backwards. What would happen if a man was made to understand how it really feels for a girl in the middle of one of those rough gangbangs on the Internet? Garrett is about to find out. He's a jealous husband and particularly curious about his wife's group of friends. She invites him to spy, to set his mind at ease. Melanie has a plan of her own, though, a plan that involves Garrett pleasing her whole group of friends while he's all tied up! Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity during a group sex encounter. It includes reluctant sex, rough sex, bondage, deep throat, husband share, and reverse gangbang sex. It is intended for mature listeners who will not be offended by graphic depictions of sex acts between consenting adults. Here is a preview: "Since I'm the only one whose man actually satisfies her," Garrett felt a thrill at the comment, "you all have nominated me to fix it for you." He felt himself really losing control now, like he'd downed a whole bottle of vodka, not a glass of wine. "Last week, Cindy, I promised you a man." Garrett fell to his knees and felt darkness closing in on him. "And what I promise, I deliver." All went black. He woke. He wasn't sure how long he had been out, but he was next to the camp fire. He felt its warmth on his bare skin. Bare skin? He heard a voice. He thought it was Stephanie. "You're right, Mela. His cock is big." What the f--k was this? He started to rise and found his hands wouldn't move. He looked to either side. Tent stakes driven into the ground held ropes that wrapped around his wrists. He was on a large blanket of some kind. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vivian Lee Fox. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/036707/bk_acx0_036707_sample.mp3.

    Our Vietnam Wars, Volume 2: As Told by More Veterans Who Served , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 948min
    Want to know what Vietnam was really like? From a Marine sniper in Hue, to a medevac dust-off pilot going into a hot LZ, Navy Corpsmen, A-6 pilots taking out bridges and SAM sites in North Vietnam, a nurse on the USS Repose, combat medics deep in the jungle, machine gunners in I-Corps, mechanics working on the rolling deck of a big carrier on Yankee Station, squad leaders on infantry sweeps in “the Arizona Territory”, truck convoys under fire, riverine patrol boats in the Delta, Coast Guard “Jolly Green” search and rescue helicopters pulling downed pilots from the jungle, tank platoons in an all-out armor assault, Loach pilots in hunter-killer teams, and many more - from the Delta to the DMZ, this book puts you in their boots. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some were true war heroes, but most were just trying to survive. As everyone “in-country” knew, Vietnam was all about luck, good or bad. If you were there, you understand. If you weren’t, grab a copy and start listening, anywhere in the book. The stories are like Doritos. Try a few and you won’t be able to stop. The Vietnam War was the seminal event of my generation and affected so many lives. Over 58,200 of us paid the ultimate price, but the war didn’t end when the last US helicopter lifted off from the roof of the US Embassy in Saigon. It continues to take its ugly toll on many who did come home. Instead of bands and parades, we got PTSD and Agent Orange, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, neuropathy, leukemia, Hodgkin’s Disease, and prostate cancer, and many more. As they say, “Vietnam is the gift that keeps on giving.” Unfortunately, what little our kids and grandkids know of the war comes from books that only focus on one soldier, one unit, and one year, or movies like Oliver Stone’s Platoon and Hamburger Hill, leaving people to think that all we did was crawl through the jungle on the Cambodian border smoking dope. But that wasn’t how most of us spent ou ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eddie Frierson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/165798/bk_acx0_165798_sample.mp3.

    Deluge: Fierce Girls At War, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 418min
    “It’s warming up and raining more than it was when we crashed here two weeks ago. The Commander’s worried about the valley flooding when the snow melts. I wouldn’t mind a day off from training though. My legs are sore, my back is aching and my shoulder is black and blue from all the target practice!” (Naomi Winston, age 17, fourth year student, New Hope Academy, New Hope Colony, Tau Ceti 4, UK)    The summer will only last two months before the short fall season brings cold and snow and the danger of demon wolves descending into their valley. Commander Rick Cassidy worries about what the rain and snow melt will mean for the survivors of the downed transport Cairo who are trapped in a high mountain valley with little hope of rescue.      For Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford and the other survivors of the Cairo, the warming early summer weather coincides with the end of the Pickford designed "hell-week" for the students and staff members, now called trainees, from the New Hope Academy. They can only hope that the aliens won’t come before they have trained the young survivors to fight and defend themselves.      Major Naomi MacCaffrey and the other female officers living in Rick Cassidy’s old residence consider what the future might bring as the alien Rift and their Andoval mercenaries regroup after losing the battle for McKinley Pass. In the meantime the Rift Commanders plan for their attack on Winter Haven.        For Rick Cassidy and Molly Pickford, the secret they have been keeping for over four years may be the key to providing the motivation and belief in them among the trainees and the Rangers NCOs training them that they really can do what the Commander and Gunnery Sergeant are convinced they can do.       The crew of shuttle XL-17 and the squad of Brazilian Rangers with them have been lost at sea for two weeks with no sign of rescue coming. In New Hope Town scientists receive the alien bodies that Major Stairs sent back ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rachanee Lumayno.

    A Bad Day on the River: Fierce Girls at War, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 333min
    In the mountain valley, far from safety and with little hope of rescue, where the transport Cairo crashed after being damaged by fire from alien weapons, Commander Rick Cassidy has decided that the students from the New Hope Academy, some as young as 14, have to be treated as adults if they are to have a chance to survive to see their families again.These survivors are about to begin their training under the supervision of Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford and the handful of Ranger NCOs who survived the crash. They have all the gear, including the weapons and ammunition that were for the two Ranger companies that went ahead to New Cancun with Colonel Fox.Deadly predators inhabit the mountains where the Cairo crashed, and Cassidy and the other Rangers have to make sure there aren’t any of them living in their mountain valley before they can go outside the downed transport.Southport and New Cancun have fallen to the aliens, and their next target is the river settlement of New St. Louis, where the Rangers hope to delay the aliens long enough for the town to be evacuated.Short on weapons and ammunition, the "unauthorized" cache of ammunition and other Ranger gear that Cassidy and Pickford have been collecting may be critical in keeping the aliens at bay until help can arrive. But first, someone has to find out about it. The Rangers have to hold the aliens back until word gets to Earth, and that won’t be for several months, at best. Then, it would take months more for a relief force to get there. The starship Asia is inbound to the colony, and the ship's captain is concerned about the loss of communications with the colony. Rick Cassidy’s daughter Ciara is onboard and has been helping the Rangers onboard improve their scores practicing fighting demon wolves in the ship’s virtual reality trainer. She’s the ship’s record holder for top scores at both levels IV and V, the levels the Rangers, all professional soldiers, train at. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rachanee Lumayno.

    A Vow of Glory: The Sorcerer's Ring, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 478min
    In A Vow of Glory, Thor embarks with his Legion friends on an epic quest into the vast wilds of the Empire to try to find the ancient Destiny Sword and save the Ring. Thor's friendships deepen, as they journey to new places, face unexpected monsters and fight side by side in unimaginable battle. They encounter exotic lands, creatures, and peoples beyond which they could have ever imagined, each step of their journey fraught with increasing danger. They will have to summon all their skills if they are to survive as they follow the trail of the thieves, deeper and deeper into the Empire. Their quest will bring them all the way into the heart of the Underworld, one of the seven realms of hell, where the undead rule and fields are lined with bones. As Thor must summon his powers, more than ever, he struggles to understand the nature of who he is. Back in the Ring, Gwendolyn must lead half of King's Court to the Western stronghold of Silesia, an ancient city perched on the edge of the Canyon that has stood for 1,000 years. Silesia's fortifications have allowed it to survive every attack throughout every century - but it has never been faced with an assault by a leader like Andronicus, by an army like his million men. Gwendolyn learns what it means to be queen as she takes on a leadership role, Srog, Kolk, Brom, Steffen, Kendrick, and Godfrey by her side, preparing to defend the city for the massive war to come. Meanwhile, Gareth is descending deeper into madness, trying to fend off a coup that would have him assassinated in King's Court, while Erec fights for his life to save his love, Alistair and the Duke's city of Savaria as the downed shield enables the wild creatures to invade. And Godfrey, wallowing in drink, will have to decide if he is ready to cast off his past and become the man his family expects him to be. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wayne Farrell.

    Michael Faraday: The Life and Legacy of the Influential 19th Century Scientist Who Pioneered Electromagnetism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 79min
    “Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature.” (Michael Faraday) "Without such freedom, there would have been no Shakespeare, no Goethe, no Newton, no Faraday, no Pasteur, and no Lister." (Albert Einstein, in a speech on intellectual freedom after fleeing Nazi Germany, October 3, 1933 ) On April 18, 1955, the phone of 38-year-old Life photographer Ralph Morse started ringing off the hook. By the end of the call, which came from a clearly keen but jittery Life editor, it was like Morse had downed a liter of the world's strongest coffee. The one and only Albert Einstein had died.   Morse raced to Princeton Hospital, where Einstein had been admitted just three days earlier. He dipped into the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study and, using a case of premium scotch, persuaded the superintendent to unlock Einstein's office. Morse was able to compactly capture one of the most defining photographs of the man's life and his work. Viewers see the mound of journals and books strewn about on his desk, his pipe and tobacco tin serving as makeshift paper weights, and his blackboard, a wall of complex formulas and equations. It was in this very study that Einstein, perhaps the most celebrated genius in history, displayed the photographs of his five muses. Though only the framed portraits of Gandhi and a German composer have been pictured in Einstein's study, the faces of three other illustrious scientists are said to have once graced his walls.  One of them was Michael Faraday, an endlessly luminous mind equipped with an unflagging hunger for knowledge, a hunger so ungovernable that not even poverty or social norms could stand in the way of his ambitions. Indeed, it was reportedly Einstein's expertise in the lives of Maxwell and Faraday, as well as his mastery of their work and accomplishments, that landed him his first job at the Swiss patent office after months of job-scouring.

    Alien Encounters: The Most Important UFO Cases in History, Hörbuch, Digital, 44min
    The Roswell announcement on ABC radio. This is the original announcement of the famed Roswell, New Mexico, crashed disc, made by ABC Network Radio news anchor Taylor Grant on July 8, 1947. This first public announcement that the US government had recovered a crashed flying saucer was covered up by the Army Air Force and successfully kept the lid on the so-called Roswell Incident until 1978 - 31 years later - when former military personnel involved in the recovery began to speak openly to UFO researchers about the crash, the recovery, and the cover-up. You may have heard an edited version of this announcement before, but this is a completely un-edited transfer from the original acetate recording of the live news program. This recording is followed by excerpts from an interview with Col. Thomas DuBose, former assistant to General Ramey - who initiated the cover-up by switching the debris of the actual crash with pieces of a downed weather balloon before reporters and photographers were allowed to see the wreckage. Dubose confirms the cover-up in one typically terse military statement in a recording made just before his death in the late 1980s. The 1947 interview that named the saucers. Most researchers will tell you the "Modern Age" of UFO research began on June 24, 1947, when private pilot Kenneth Arnold spotted a group of strange craft while on a solo flight over Oregon. It is in this interview, conducted by news reporter Bill Burquette, that Arnold speaks the famous phrase that forever nicknamed unidentifiedflying objects as "flying saucers". The battle of Los Angeles. Ray Angler, a California air-raid warden in 1942, describes an event that could be the military's first actual gunfight with an alien UFO. Hundreds of shots were fired at unknowns that hovered above the city of Los Angeles while illuminated by air-raid searchlights. Not one hit was scored. Thousands watched as this "battle Language: English. Narrator: Taylor Grant, Col. Thomas DuBose, Kenneth Arnold, Ray Angler, Al Chop, John Dailey, James Ritchie.
