    The Cabin at the End of the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 567min
    Paul Tremblay, critically acclaimed author of Disappearance at Devil's Rock and A Head Full of Ghosts, adds an inventive twist to the home invasion horror story in a heart-palpitating novel of psychological suspense.  Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbours are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road.  One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Thus begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are entwined.  The Cabin at the End of the World is a masterpiece of terror and suspense from the fantastically fertile imagination of Paul Tremblay. ungekürzt.

    Deacon (Saints vs Sinners Series, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Coming back to Alama, Tennessee-after ten years gone-leaving behind a MotoGP racing career, I'd have to face the trials set before me by family, friends, and the girl I've always loved. I'd rather take on the track, lose skin, break bones, and tear muscle than face the changes rutted in my life. Olivia Bane I thought my life is perfect. Working as a nurse, a doctor--boyfriend, and friends I cherish dearly. Then Deacon Saint comes back home and my ideal life shifts to utter chaos. My boyfriend's a monster. I almost lose my job and I'm faced with losing my heart again to the racer that broke into the first place. Deacon shattered me once, and now he thinks it's water under the bridge. It's going to take more than smooth talkin', fast motorcycles, and good old Southern country charm to win me back.

    Tunnel Rats vs the Taliban , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 502min
    The extraordinary story of Australian sappers on the front lines of the war in Afghanistan.They are young, they are tough and they were the forward scouts in Australia's war against the Taliban. This is the story of the sappers, the Army engineers in Afghanistan who learnt their skills from the original Australian Tunnel Rats of the Vietnam War. Like their compatriots in Vietnam, the Tunnel Rats of Afghanistan have rutted out the enemy from deep inside their caves and hideouts, have defused thousands of improvised explosive devices (the booby traps and landmines of this most recent of wars), built bridges and schools to win a war of hearts and minds and lost mates at a greater rate than any other group of soldiers. And they, too, have returned home with the devastating baggage of war: post-traumatic stress disorder. Inspiring and action packed, this is the story of a special breed of soldier operating in a modern war against a medieval enemy. It is a story that connects the unsung heroes of Vietnam with the modern heroes of Afghanistan. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Meldrum.

    A Road Well Traveled: Profiles of America's Great Automobile Pioneers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 300min
    The great American automotive pioneers were entrepreneurial inventors and visionaries who changed the American landscape and brought us a new national culture.  The dawn of the automobile ushered away the ubiquitous horse-drawn carriages and the rutted, dusty and wash-boarded dirt roads they traveled on, and replaced them with cars powered by steam, electricity and gasoline.  These pioneers lifted the veil of isolation that enveloped most pre-20th century Americans and made it possible for the average person to travel whenever and wherever he or she pleased. Written by award-winning author and syndicated columnist Daniel Alef, who has written more than 300 biographical profiles of America's great tycoons, and narrated by radio personality Baron Ron Herron, A Road Well Traveled offers many lessons to be draw from these pioneers and the fascinating lives they led.  Some became fabulously wealthy; others died in obscurity. But they developed America's largest industry in the space of one generation and demonstrated the skills and characteristics necessary to achieve such success. Their audacity, determination, perseverance, work-ethic, and passion were unassailable. These pioneers were undaunted by any and all obstacles in their path.  Their stories are instructive and absorbing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Baron Ron Herron.

    Bull Canyon: A Boatbuilder, a Writer and Other Wildlife , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 659min
    In the tradition of A Year in Provence, Lin Pardey - renowned for her sailing narratives - takes you on a voyage of the heart, sharing her and her husband Larry's remarkable tale of homesteading with equal parts candor and humor. Internationally known for their sailing adventures, in 1980 - fresh from an 11-year journey where they forged the early years of their marriage on high seas and in exotic locales - Lin and Larry Pardey came to California looking for a good spot to build a boat, test Lin's skills as a writer, and taste the apparent security life ashore could offer. Nestled in a rocky outcropping of sparsely populated dirt roads 60 miles from the sea and 50 miles from Los Angeles, Bull Canyon would seem an unlikely place for boat-building. Yet when Lin and Larry set eyes on the abandoned stone cottage at the top of a rutted dusty lane, it was love at first sight. The house was certainly a fixer-upper, but there was plenty of room to build the boat which would become their soon-to-be-famed Lyle Hess designed cutter Taleisin. This remarkable book tells the tale charmingly and engagingly - as only Lin Pardey can. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michelle Murillo.

    Out of the Woods: A Bird Watcher's Year , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 219min
    Out of the Woods: A Bird Watcher's Year is a journey through the seasons and a joyous celebration of growing old. In 59 essays and poems, Ora E. Anderson, birder, bird carver, naturalist, and nature writer, reveals the insights and recollections of a keen-eyed observer of nature, both human and avian. The essays follow the rivers and creeks, the highways and little-known byways of Appalachia, and along the way we become nearly as familiar with its numerous bird, plant, and animal species as with the author himself. These are not the memories of a single year, however, but of a long lifetime spent immersed in the natural world. Out of the Woods, presented with humor and passion, is an account of a well-lived, productive, and satisfying life. The essays offer an intimate portrait of a half century of life on Anderson's beloved old farm (more nearly a nature preserve), where he lived in harmony with birds and nature and followed the rhythm of the seasons. We are invited to share the joys - and the disappointments and sorrows - inherent in such a life. This book will delight bird watchers, artists, naturalists, backyard gardeners, and anyone who is sometimes tempted to take a rutted, overgrown, and unused path just to see where it leads. ungekürzt.

    Treachery amid the dark menace and magic of the German wilderness.Spring, 38 AD.

He needs Aurima's help to succeed - but after promising months ago to win the support of her chieftain father, a brutal enemy of Rome, she still hasn't returned. When an imperial spymaster recruits him for a secret mission among the hostile German tribes, Marcus jumps at the excuse to search for her. But as his troops slog along the rutted track of the Amber Road, he will discover that he is not out of reach of his enemies' vengeance - and that saving the woman he loves is going to demand more heart and will than he knew he possessed. If you enjoy good historical fiction - rich, meaty novels that immerse you in another time, peopled with characters you truly care about - you're the kind of listener likely to love Amber Road, the second installment in the epic saga of Roma Amor. Get it now to journey into the heart of mystery, love, and courage. ungekürzt.
