Psychopaths & Sinners: Don't..., Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 755min
“Because us? Psychopaths and Sinners...we don’t need fixing, Gray.” (Martin)Three bodies, three mutilations, each one with something...unusual inserted into the wounds. The deaths are enough to leave Ash Thomas scrambling around to find someone to trust as the murders hit so close to home and heart.For Gray Raoul, MI5 director of G-Branch, the deaths offer something else: A fall back into a familiar life where culling serial killers caters to his own darker mindset. But the farther Gray moves away from home, the more he realises serial killer games in the field are nothing compared to who he has locked up back at home. Sometimes walking the fine line between psychopaths and live-in lovers is a far darker game.For Ash, that might just mean he’s on his own now, facing a killer who has a deadly fascination for dangerous young men and dancing holly blue butterflies over their skin. ungekürzt.

Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 843min
How well do we really understand Barack Obama’s vision for our country?In this controversial New York Times best seller, veteran journalist and commentator Stanley Kurtz presents an exhaustively researched exposé of President Obama’s biggest secret - the socialist convictions and tactical ruthlessness he has long swept under the rug. Culling together two years of investigations from archives and never-before-tapped sources, Kurtz makes an in-depth exploration of the president’s connections to radical groups, explains how modern “stealth” socialism continues to influence the Democratic Party, and proves that Obama’s youthful infatuation with socialism was not just a phase. Those ideas have shaped his political views and set the groundwork for the long-term strategy of his administration. Eventually, in Obama’s hands, capitalist America could come to resemble a socialist-inspired Scandinavian welfare state.The fears of Obama’s harshest critics are justified: our commander-in-chief is a radical-in-chief. Now that we know the truth, what does it mean for our future? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Utley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/237288/bk_acx0_237288_sample.mp3.

The Adventures of Old Ironsides: A Radio Dramatization, Hörbuch, Digital, 115min
The USS Constitution is the world's oldest commissioned warship afloat, having been launched in 1797. The Adventures of Old Ironsides dramatizes two of her most exciting adventures.

An “edge of your seat” adventure, it is based totally on fact with nothing thrown in for dramatic effect - it didn’t need it! In "Escape To The Wind", Constitution finds herself in the War of 1812, chased by a squadron of five British Warships. The wind dies down, and the ships are dead in the water, Captain Hull finds a way to distance himself from the superior force. An amazing but true story of Yankee ingenuity! By culling through the records of the Captain’s logs, the Colonial Radio Theatre brings to life the adventures of the USS Constitution - Old Ironsides! Language: English.

A young Alpine researcher is smitten by the girlfriend of his dead brother, killed in an avalanche he believes he caused. An unlucky farm boy becomes the manservant of a French nobleman who's as proud of having served with Joan of Arc as he's aroused by slaughtering children. A free spirit tracks an ancient Shia sect, becoming the first Western woman to travel the Arabian Deserts. From the inventor of the Godzilla epics to a miserable G.I. in New Guinea, each is complicit in his or her downfall and comes to learn that, in love, knowing better is never enough. ungekürzt.

Life in Year One: What the World Was Like in First-Century Palestine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
What was it like to live during the time of Jesus? Where did people live? Who did they marry? What was family life like? And how did people survive? These are just some of the questions that Scott Korb answers in this engaging new book, which explores what everyday life entailed 2,000 years ago in first-century Palestine, that tumultuous era when the Roman Empire was at its zenith and a new religion - Christianity - was born. Culling information from primary sources, scholarly research, and his own travels and observations, Korb explores the nitty-gritty of real life back then - from how people fed, housed, and groomed themselves to how they kept themselves healthy. He guides the contemporary listener through the maze of customs and traditions that dictated life under the numerous groups, tribes, and peoples in the eastern Mediterranean that Rome governed two thousand years ago, and he illuminates the intriguing details of marriage, family life, health, and a host of other aspects of first-century life. The result is a book for everyone, from the armchair traveler to the amateur historian. With surprising revelations about politics and medicine, crime and personal hygiene, this book is smart and accessible popular history at its very best. ungekürzt. Language: English.
