    The Hero: Legacy of the Aldenata , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 707min
    The human was an expert sniper-and a psychopath. He had never failed in the past when he stalked human prey. But now he is on an enemy planet, and his prey is anything but human. The Darhel are a race with a highly developed empathic sense. Long ago, they learned that they cannot deal death to another intelligent being without being destroyed by the death agonies of their victim. Even though they have been manipulating other species behind the scenes for millennia, including the humans of planet Earth, they cannot bear to kill another being, and depend on other, less sensitive beings, to do their dirty work. But now one of the Darhel must kill or be killed. And the fate, not only of his own race, but all of humanity, is riding on his survival. The course of the next thousand years will be determined by whether or not he can learn to fight back. If he cannot, it will be too late...for the entire galaxy. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Through a Dark Glass , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 468min
    On her 17th birthday, Megan of Chaumont discovers she'll be sold as a bride to the brutish Volodane family - within hours. Her father grants only that she may choose which one of the ruthless, grasping lord's three sons she weds: Rolf, the eldest: stern, ambitious, and loyal? Sebastian, the second son: sympathetic, sly, and rebellious? Or Kai, the youngest: bitter, brooding, and proud? As shy, horrified Megan flees the welcome dinner for her in-laws-to-be, she finds an enchanted mirror that will display how her life unrolls with each man, as if she were living it out in a breath. But there is no smooth "happily ever after" in her choices. Deaths and honors, joys and agonies, intrigues and escapes await her in a remote, ramshackle keep, where these rough but complex men reveal one side and then another of their jagged characters - and bring forth new aspects of Megan, too. But the decisions of one teenaged marriage-pawn reverberate much farther than any of them have guessed.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rendah Heywood.

    Dare to Be a Daniel: Then and Now, Hörbuch, Digital, 217min
    Born into a family with a strong, radical dissenting tradition in which enterprise and public service were combined, Tony Benn was taught to believe that the greatest sins in life was to waste time and money. Life in his Victorian¿Edwardian family home in Westminster was characterised by austerity, the last vestiges of domestic service, the profound influence of his mother, a dedicated Christian and feminist, and his colourful and courageous father, elected as a Liberal MP in 1906 and later serving in Labour Cabinets under Ramsay MacDonald and Clem Atlee. Dare to be a Daniel feelingly recalls Tony Benn's years as one of three brothers experiencing life in the nursery, the agonies of adolescence and of school, where boys were taught to 'keep their minds clean', and the shadow of fascism and war with its disruption and family loss; and describes his emergence from the war as a keen socialist about to embark upon marriage and an unknown political future. The book ends with some of Tony Benn's reflections on many of the most important and controversial issues of our time. Language: English. Narrator: Tony Benn.

    Empath Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min
    An empath is somebody who is profoundly mindful of the feelings of people around them, to the point of feeling those feelings themselves. Empaths see the world uniquely in contrast to others; they're distinctly mindful of others, their agonies, and what they need inwardly. In any case, it's not simply feelings. As per Dr. Judith Orloff, creator of Empath Survival Guide, empaths can feel physical agony and frequently detect somebody's goals or where they're coming from. As it were, empaths appear to get on a significant understanding of the people around them. Numerous exceptionally delicate individuals (HSPs) are likewise empaths. However, there might be a contrast among empaths and HSPs. Having a high level of sympathy is only one of the four characteristics that make somebody a HSP. HSPs are delicate to numerous sorts of improvements, notwithstanding feelings. All things considered, most empaths are exceptionally delicate, however not all profoundly touchy individuals are fundamentally empaths. So, how would you know whether you or someone you know is an empath? There are 13 signs of an empath that will help you decide, and this audiobook will discuss them in detail and teach you much more. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jasmine Moone.

    Manchu: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1425min
    New York Times best seller: This epic novel of the conquest of the Ming dynasty “does for 17th-century China what James Clavell’s Shogun did for 16th-century Japan” (The Christian Science Monitor).  Francis Arrowsmith is a man without a country, a soldier-of-fortune in search of a war. An English orphan raised in France by exiled Jesuits, he hopes to make a quick pile out of his rare skills in building and operating artillery. Little does he know that when he joins a Portuguese expedition to aid the decadent and corrupt Ming dynasty in its fight against the Manchu invaders, he is embarking on a journey that will merge his destiny with the fate of China itself.   From the opulent courts of the emperors to bloody battlefields, author Robert Elegant employs his deep knowledge and love of China to create a richly detailed world of dangers and delights, where the quest for power and pleasure drives men and women to extremes of both loyalty and betrayal.   Manchu is the compellingly vivid story of an empire in its last agonies and the people caught up in its fateful drama by the Edgar Award-winning author of Mandarin and Dynasty. ungekürzt.

    Random House presents the audiobook edition of Dunbar by Edward St Aubyn, read by Henry Goodman. 'I really did have an empire, you know,' said Dunbar. 'Have I ever told you the story of how it was stolen from me?' Henry Dunbar, the once all-powerful head of a global corporation, is not having a good day. In his dotage he handed over care of the family firm to his two eldest daughters, Abby and Megan. But relations quickly soured, leaving him doubting the wisdom of past decisions.... Now imprisoned in a care home in the Lake District with only a demented alcoholic comedian as company, Dunbar starts planning his escape. As he flees into the hills, his family is hot on his heels.
