    Soldier's Duty: Return of the Aghyrians, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 670min
    Note: The character is in the military; contains some military-grade swearing.Izramith Ezmi is many things: a member of the feared, all-female Hedron guards, a war veteran recently returned from a pointless and bloody mission, and impatient, angry, and above all, lonely. With her contract about to run out, she may be on her way to becoming a ruthless mercenary, since what she really wants - becoming a mother - is out of the question. Her family carries a gene that causes deeply malicious madness. Her nephew was born with it, and her useless sister has left him in the care of an institute. A baby. Two days old. She wants to ask her uncle, himself born with the condition, if he can do anything for the boy. But her uncle and his band of mad outcasts have gone missing, rumored to be on the world of Ceren. So Izramith takes another hired-gun contract in Barresh, which is a city-state on Ceren. The job is to provide security at a high-profile wedding. Simple and straightforward, right? No crawling in mud, no shootouts, no mangled bodies or blood-drenched soil. And meanwhile, she can try to find her uncle. Except he isn't there, and the job isn't simple. Izramith and her team discover evidence of an extensive spying ring that threatens the entire city. Postponing the wedding would be an admission of defeat, so it's time for desperate measures. Izramith leads a small team in what has to go down as the most harebrained mission to ever be undertaken in the universe. Much is at stake: peace, the lives of her uncle and her nephew, and her own. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patty Jansen.

    Wilderness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 74min
    When a 17-year-old track star turns up mangled and dead on the switchback road by the Crescent Hotel, his poker crew grows suspicious of one another. Ebur, a retired cowboy, finds himself in the middle of a once-trustworthy group who all knew and loved Brady.   Or did they?   And can he trust them if they think he killed the boy?   Covering the broad swatch of lifestyles and struggles in off-peak Eureka Springs, Wilderness asks hard questions about retired men and those who try to tame them.   Praise for Lancelot Schaubert “Schaubert’s words have an immediacy, a potency, an intimacy that grab the reader by the collar and say, ‘Listen, this is important!’ Probing the bones and gristle of humanity, his subjects challenge, but also offer insights into redemption if only we will stop and pay attention.” (Erika Robuck, national best-selling author of Hemingway’s Girl) “Loved this story because Lance wrote about people who don't get written about enough and he did it with humor, compassion, and heart.” (Brian Slatterly, author of Lost Everything and editor of the New Haven Review) “I’m such a fan of Lance Schaubert's work. His unique view of things and his life wisdom enriches all he does. We're lucky to count him among our contributors.” (Therese Walsh, author of The Moon Sisters and editorial director of Writer Unboxed) "Lancelot Schaubert exhibits his talents in many forms from poetic verse to lyrical prose to musical compositions, all the while infusing them with charisma, passion, and wit. A true creative, Schaubert is one to watch in the literary world." (Heather Webb, author of Rodin's Lover and Becoming Josephine) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theo Holland.

    Stalin: The First In-depth Biography Based on Explosive New Documents from Russia's Secret Archives, Hörbuch, Digital, 377min
    Granted privileged access to Russia's secret archives, Edvard Radzinsky has broken down the iron curtain of myth, secrecy, and lies that has surrounded Stalin's life and career, painting a picture of the Soviet strongman as more calculating, ruthless, and blood-crazed than has ever been imagined; a man for whom power was all, terror a useful weapon, and deceit a constant companion. Radzinsky uncovers the startling truth about this most enigmatic of historical figures. Only now, in the post-Soviet era, can what was suppressed be told: Stalin's long-denied involvement with terrorism as a young revolutionary; the real story of how he mangled his left arm; the crucial importance of his role during the October Revolution; his often hostile relationship with Lenin; the details of his organization of terror, culminating in the infamous show trials of the 1930s; his secret dealings with Hitler, and how they backfired; and the horrifying plans he had to send the Soviet Union's Jews to concentration camps, tantamount to a potential second Holocaust. Radzinsky also takes an intimate look at Stalin's private life, and his turbulent relationship with his wife Nadezhda, recreating the circumstances that led to her suicide. Finally, Radzinsky discovers one of Stalin's elite bodyguards, who breaks 40 years of silence to give the strongest evidence yet of the conspiracy behind Stalin's death. The Kremlin intrigues, the private worlds of the Soviet Empire's ruling class, Radzinsky thrillingly brings them to life. And the riddle of that most cold-blooded of leaders, a man for whom nothing was sacred in his pursuit of absolute might, and perhaps the greatest mass murderer in Western history, is solved.

    The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire: The History and Legacy of New York City's Deadliest Industrial Disaster , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min
    Word had spread through the East Side, by some magic of terror, that the plant of the Triangle Waist Company was on fire and that several hundred workers were trapped. Horrified and helpless, the crowds - I among them - looked up at the burning building, saw girl after girl appear at the reddened windows, pause for a terrified moment, and then leap to the pavement below, to land as mangled, bloody pulp. This went on for what seemed a ghastly eternity. Occasionally a girl who had hesitated too long was licked by pursuing flames and, screaming with clothing and hair ablaze, plunged like a living torch to the street. Life nets held by the firemen were torn by the impact of the falling bodies. The emotions of the crowd were indescribable. Women were hysterical, scores fainted; men wept as, in paroxysms of frenzy, they hurled themselves against the police lines. (Louis Waldman, a New York State Assemblyman) During the afternoon of March 25, 1911, shortly before workers at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in the Asch Building left for the day, a fire broke out in a scrap bin on the eighth floor of the building. Fires were nothing new in such situations, and the industrial journal The Insurance Monitor noted that garment factories were, "[F]airly saturated with moral hazard." On this particular day, the spread of the fire to the main staircase made it impossible for workers still stuck on the ninth and 10th floors to escape. Furthermore, without today's labor regulations in place, an advanced warning of the fire never even made it to the ninth floor, despite the fire starting just one floor below, and the door to the only other stairway had been locked. ungekürzt.

    The San Diego Homeless Murders: The San Diego Homeless Murders, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min
    With one final blow to the already battered, bleeding, and sunken in face, he stepped back. He stared at the mangled body on the ground. The man's face was unrecognizable, and you couldn't tell what color hair he had through all of the blood. The newspaper he had laid out to sleep on was no longer black and white, but red with his blood. William stepped away, looking down at his hands. "Man my knuckles hurt," he thought to himself. "That's one less person that San Diego has to feed, and help." His thoughts continued. He had a good reason to be angry with this man. William Mead was a 39-year-old retired chief warrant officer after 21 years of service for our country. He was married once, and then divorced on peaceful terms. In fact, his ex-wife claimed he was dull and boring. His everyday life was too mundane for her. William looked back at the lifeless body lying on the ground, still bleeding out. 'If she could see me now.' He chuckled. Before you go judging William for what he just did, let's first take a look back on his life. William's parents didn't expect to have a new baby. The shock wore off pretty quickly, and then they were elated. They already had a 14-year-old son when Shelly, Mark's mother, had William. Mark's father, Larry, has already done 23 years, and is a colonel in the USMC, when William was born. When William was born, everyone was very excited. As stated before, he was unexpected, but such a happy surprise. Even though his brother Mark was only 14 when William was born, he knew he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps. ungekürzt.

    Black Irish: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min
    In this explosive debut thriller by the New York Times best-selling author of Empire of Blue Water, a brilliant homicide detective returns home, where she confronts a city’s dark demons and her own past while pursuing a brutal serial killer on a vengeful rampage. Absalom “Abbie” Kearney grew up an outsider in her own hometown. Even being the adopted daughter of a revered cop couldn’t keep Abbie’s troubled past from making her a misfit in the working-class Irish American enclave of South Buffalo. And now, despite a Harvard degree and a police detective’s badge, she still struggles to earn the respect and trust of those she’s sworn to protect. But all that may change, once the killing starts. When Jimmy Ryan’s mangled corpse is found in a local church basement, this sadistic sacrilege sends a bone-deep chill through the winter-whipped city. It also seems to send a message - one that Abbie believes only the fiercely secretive citizens of the neighborhood known as “the County” understand. But in a town ruled by an old-world code of silence and secrecy, her search for answers is stonewalled at every turn, even by fellow cops. Only when Abbie finds a lead at the Gaelic Club, where war stories, gossip, and confidences flow as freely as the drink, do tongues begin to wag - with desperate warnings and dire threats. And when the killer’s mysterious calling card appears on her own doorstep, the hunt takes a shocking twist into her own family’s past. As the grisly murders and grim revelations multiply, Abbie wages a chilling battle of wits with a maniac who sees into her soul, and she swears to expose the County’s hidden history - one bloody body at a time. With Black Irish, Stephen Talty stakes a place beside Jo Nesbø, John Sandford, and Tana French on the cutting edge of psychological crime thrillers. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David H.
