Terror on the Tundra , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min
Jim Miller, writing as J. Esker Miller, has five previous thrillers that cover diverse but exciting times. But it was Alaska, the northernmost fringe of civilization, that intrigued him most of all. After years of flying over the desolate landscape and hearing the stories of the people there, he imagined a remote island, a desolate, hostile place where evolution was free to create unique creatures. And so, a single pair of shipwrecked Viking war dogs evolved into terrifying Apex Predators that ravaged the island unchallenged. Eventually, the breakup of Arctic ice floated a few of the beasts to the North Slope of Alaska. There, they faced the valiant townspeople of Chintikook Village. Along with a boyish paleontologist and the local schoolteacher, the humans teamed up to battle the attacking creatures they called Super Wolves.It’s an adventure that pits the fangs and claws of giant devil dogs against the wits and bravery of a small group of townspeople who don’t know how to give up despite impossible odds. ungekürzt.

Neon Mirage: Nathan Heller, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 544min
In 1946 Chicago, Nathan Heller - president of the flourishing A-1 Detective Agency - is hired to protect racing-wire gambling chief James Ragen, who is nonetheless shot down on the streets of Chicago. Not one to take such an affront sitting down, Nate goes after the killer, but he’s in for the biggest surprise of his career. Demonstrating once again that he is the master of true-crime fiction, Max Allan Collins’ story of the birth of Las Vegas - and the dirty deeds that floated all around it - is a masterpiece of modern noir. Heller follows the trail as it leads to Hollywood and Las Vegas, specifically to Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, but when he proves Siegel’s innocence, Heller and the suave gangster wind up friends... and rivals for the love of Nate’s life. Bugsy hires Heller as security chief of the under-construction Flamingo hotel, where mob bag woman Virginia Hill is a dangerous, if glamorous, distraction. It all comes to a boil with a shocking mob assassination in Beverly Hills that sends Heller into fever-dream ride of vengeance. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan John Miller.

On a fall evening in Corvallis, Oregon, in 1967, 17-year-old Dick Kitchel, a senior at the high school, disappeared after attending a party. Ten days later, his body was spotted by two children as it floated down the Willamette River. He had been beaten and strangled. The investigation into his murder played out during one of the most dramatic years in America. Life in Corvallis, a college town, had offered a protective, idyllic life to many. But in 1967 to '68, Vietnam, a presidential campaign, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Kennedy, and the murder of Dick Kitchel changed that. His friends thought his death was ignored because Dick was from the wrong side of the tracks. Police and the district attorney thought they knew who had murdered the boy but never made an arrest. Decades later, a cold-case detective believed he, too, had solved the case. However, once again, justice was elusive.

Abducted!: Confrontations with Beings from Outer Space - Astonishing Accounts of Humans Captured by UFOs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 561min
Patty Price reports that they "took her thoughts". Calvin Parker remembers being grabbed by a creature with pincerlike "hands" and "floated" into a spaceship. Carl Higdon was kidnapped by a bowlegged being who supplied him with food pills. In this startling and engrossing audiobook, experienced researchers Coral and Jim Lorenzen, directors of APRO (the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization), have pieced together the bizarre evidence and moving testimony of humans who have actually been taken aboard UFOs. Reports of unusual aerial phenomena date back to ancient times, but reports of UFO sightings started becoming more common after the first widely publicized US sighting in 1947. Many tens of thousands of UFO reports have since been made worldwide. Many sightings - and especially abductions - remain unreported due to fear of public ridicule. Social stigma still surrounds the subject of UFOs because most nations lack any officially sanctioned authority to receive and evaluate UFO reports. The Lorenzens have questioned the victims, probed their claims, tested them by hypnosis, and verified their statements by numerous polygraph tests. Where does the evidence point? For the whole strange and unnerving report, delve within this audiobook. The answers are here. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sangita Chauhan.

Paddling the Pascagoula , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min
Science magazine describes the Pascagoula River of southeast Mississippi as the last unaltered large river system in the lower 48 states and southern Canada. Along its banks and watershed, 600,000 acres of public lands - wildlife management areas, national forest, wilderness areas, national wildlife refuges, Nature Conservancy preserves - ensure the creation of a tremendous natural river system. To explore this sanctum, authors Ernest Herndon and Scott B. Williams traveled its entire 200-plus mile length by canoe and sea kayak, respectively. Each floated one of two major tributaries, Herndon taking the Leaf, Williams the Chickasawhay. They then met on the main Pascagoula and continued on to the Gulf Coast. Along the way, the two saw alligators and ospreys, conservationists and good ole boys. They ran rapids and explored swamps, dodged logjams and investigated possible pollution sources. The audiobook gives the armchair explorer a vivid feeling of what it would be like to float this wonderful river and provides a wealth of information about what makes it special and the problems that threaten it. The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Randall Hunter.
