    From the author of Marine Sniper - the classic true account of Sergeant Carlos Hathcock - comes a gripping and gritty new novel about a sniper on the trail of al-Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in post-9/11 Iraq. At age 20, marine scout-sniper Jack Valentine had his first kill in Iraq, at the start of the Persian Gulf War. Now it's 2006, and he's back in Baghdad, obsessed with taking down al-Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Jack missed his first shot at Zarqawi, and it's haunted him ever since - even though the attack struck fear into the black hearts of the jihadists and earned him the name the Ghost of Anbar. Now leading his own Special Operations platoon, Jack is determined to hunt down and take out his target this time. But the jihadists are not his only enemies. The ruthless, amoral leader of a band of mercenaries is feeding al-Qaeda secret information - and pursuing the love of Jack's life, FBI agent Liberty Cruz. Jack may soon find himself in the crosshairs if he doesn't eliminate his rival first.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Deakins.

    Want Not , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1029min
    A compulsively listenable, deeply human novel that examines our most basic and unquenchable emotion: want. With his critically acclaimed first novel, Jonathan Miles was widely praised as a comic genius "after something bigger" (David Ulin, Los Angeles Times) whose fiction was "not just philosophically but emotionally rewarding" (Richard Russo, New York Times Book Review, front cover). Now, in his much-anticipated second novel, Want Not, Miles takes a giant leap forward with this highly inventive and corrosively funny story of our times, a three-pronged tale of human excess that sifts through the detritus of several disparate lives - lost loves, blown chances, countless words, and deeds misdirected or misunderstood - all conjoined in their come-hell-or-high-water search for fulfillment. As the novel opens on Thanksgiving Day, listeners are telescoped into three different worlds in various states of disrepair - a young freegan couple living off the grid in New York City; a once-prominent linguist, sacked at midlife by the dissolution of his marriage and his father’s losing battle with Alzheimer’s; and a self-made debt-collecting magnate, whose brute talent for squeezing money out of unlikely places has yielded him a royal existence, trophy wife included. Want and desire propel these characters forward toward something, anything, more, until their worlds collide, briefly, randomly, yet irrevocably, in a shattering ending that will haunt listeners long after the last lines. With a satirist’s eye and a romantic’s heart, Miles captures the morass and comedy of contemporary life in all its excess. Bold, unblinking, unforgettable in its irony and pathos, Want Not is a wicked, big-hearted literary novel that confirms the arrival of a major voice in American fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Das befreyte Jerusalem, Hörbuch, Digital, 1029min
    Als Torquato Tasso (1544-1595) im Sommer 1574 den Prinzessinnen Leonora und Lucrezia d'Este sowie dem Herzog Alfonso II sein großes Versepos "Gerusalemmeliberata" vorlas, hätte er sich sicher nicht gedacht, dass dieses Buch ein Bestseller werden sollte und bis heute zum Kanon abendländischer Literatur und humanistischer Bildung gehört. Freilich liegt dabei bereits im Sujet das Erfolgsgeheimnis der Schrift, handelt "Das befreite Jerusalem" doch von den Geschehnissen des ersten Kreuzzuges, in dem es Gottfried von Bouillon mit dem christlichen Heer gelang, Jerusalem von den "Falschgläubigen" zu befreien. Wir, die wir viele Generationen von diesen Ereignissen entfernt leben, staunen dennoch bei der Lektüre von Tassos Buch. Staunen, weil sich darin auch manche Figuren der Operngeschichte wie Rinaldo, Armida, Tancredi oder Clorinda weiter erhellen und sich inhaltliche Einordnung von Musikdramen wie "Armide" von Lully oder Händels "Rinaldo" organisch ergeben. In zwanzig Gesängen lässt der in Sorrent geborene Dichter lediglich mit Worten das vor unserem geistigen Auge erscheinen, für das wir heute manchmal zu realitätsnah lapidar digitale Multimediadevices einsetzen. Mögen sich auch die Metaphern verändert haben - das vergossene Blut, die Tränen, die machtpolitischen, wirtschaftlichen Erwägungen, die damit verbundenen Leidenschaften - die Liebe, haben heute wie damals gleiche Relevanz!Johann Jakob Wilhelm Heinse (1746-1803) studierte Jura in Jena und Erfurt, war mit Christoph Martin Wieland bekannt und war Mitglied des Halberstädter Dichterkreises. Für seine Prosaübersetzung des "Gerusalemme liberata" erhielt Heinse den Preis der "Mannheimer Deutschen Gesellschaft".

    The Taste of Sorrow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1029min
    From an obscure country parsonage came the most extraordinary family of the nineteenth century. The Brontë sisters created a world in which we still live the intense, passionate world of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights; and the phenomenon of this strange explosion of genius remains as baffling now as it was to their Victorian contemporaries. In this panoramic novel we see with new insight the members of a uniquely close-knit family whose tight bonds are the instruments of both triumph and tragedy. Emily, the solitary who turns from the world to the greater temptations of the imagination: Anne, gentle and loyal; Branwell, the mercurial and self-destructive brother; and the brilliant, tormented Charlotte, longing for both love and independence, who establishes the family’s name. ungekürzt.
