    Ghost Ship : Sam Reilly, Book 17 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 402min
    In the dead of night, a decrepit, unmarked motor yacht drifts into the medieval port of Vernazza, Italy.  The run-down vessel forms a jarring contrast to the pastel colored tower homes and terraced vineyards surrounding the natural harbor along the coast of Cinque Terra. Less than 50 yards away, a man wakes up on board a small rowboat, covered in blood.  Lying next to him is a woman with two - execution style - bullet holes to her forehead.  In his right hand he holds a small suitcase. Tucked into his pocket is a Russian built Makarov semiautomatic handgun with two rounds missing.  The man asks himself one question: Who am I?  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Gilmore.

    Shackleton's Way: Leadership Lessons From the Great Antarctic Explorer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 367min
    From 1914 to 1916, Ernest Shackleton and his men survived the wreck of their ship Endurance, crushed in the Antarctic ice, stranded 1,200 miles from civilization with no means of communication and no hope for rescue. When the ice began to break up, Shackleton set out to save them all on his heroic 800-mile-trip across the frigid South Atlantic, in little more than a rowboat. Unlike similar polar expeditions, every man survived, not only in good health, but also in good spirits, all due to Shackleton's leadership. Now, Shackleton scholar Margot Morrell and Wall Street Journal writer Stephanie Capparell team up to present Shackleton's timeless leadership skills, skills that can be learned by anyone, to a new generation. ungekürzt.

    Calculating God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 724min
    In this Hugo-nominated novel, an alien walks into a museum and asks if he can see a paleontologist. But the arachnid ET hasn't come aboard a rowboat with the Pope and Stephen Hawking (although His Holiness does request an audience later). Landing at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the spacefarer, Hollus, asks to compare notes on mass extinctions with resident dino-scientist Thomas Jericho. A shocked Jericho finds that not only does life exist on other planets, but that every civilization in the galaxy has experienced extinction events at precisely the same time. Armed with that disconcerting information (and a little help from a grand unifying theory), the alien informs Jericho, almost dismissively, that the primary goal of modern science is to discover why God has behaved as he has and to determine his methods. BONUS AUDIO: Author Robert J. Sawyer explains how the creationism vs. evolution debate informed the writing of Calculating God. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Davis, Robert J. Sawyer. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/000119/bk_adbl_000119_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    How to Seduce a Queen , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 355min
    Year of our Lord 1283 In the light of the early dawn, Lady Fay traverses her parapet wall and waits with bow drawn taut. Only when she realizes the group of men who exit the Saxon rowboat are tonsured does she allow herself to breathe. She need not shoot another of King Alexander's suitors. At least not today. With a wicked grin, she lets go the bowstring, and the arrow makes a perfect arc to land directly in front of the one in the lead. She isn't so fond of priests, either. Nicholas Bruce jumps when the barb lands within inches of his sandaled feet. The former queen of the Isle of Man is just as beautiful and deadly as he remembers. Suddenly, he is not so certain that this holy disguise will work. Surely she'll remember him, the bastard grandson of the mighty Earl of Annandale. But what choice does he have? If he wants to survive, he needs to bed her, and soon. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amy Soakes. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/063389/bk_acx0_063389_sample.mp3.

Michener crafts a tale of the American men who fought the Korean War, detailing their exploits in the air as well as their lives on the ground.

Together they face an enemy they do not understand, knowing their only hope for survival is to win. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Hawaii. Praise for The Bridges at Toko-Ri "A vivid and moving story, as well as an exciting one . . . The humanity of the people is deeply felt."-Chicago Tribune "The Banshees screaming over Korea, the perilous landings on an aircraft carrier deck 'bouncing around like a derelict rowboat,' a helicopter rescue from the freezing waters . . . all are stirringly rendered."-The Denver Post "Michener's best . . . a story of action, ideas, and civilization's responsibilities."-Saturday Review
