    Bullet Magnet: Britain's Most Highly Decorated Frontline Soldier, Hörbuch, Digital, 379min
    Summer 2006, Afghanistan: an apparently deserted village, and a rapidly ticking clock... The relentless Taliban ambush that followed saw several British soldiers dead, two armoured vehicles destroyed - and Corporal of Horse Michael Flynn awarded an MC to go alongside his Conspicuous Gallantry Cross. Mick Flynn has never backed away from a challenge. From his uncompromising South Wales childhood - within a whisker, at one point, of Cardiff Prison - to the streets of Belfast, where he first learned the bitter realities of armed conflict, he's had no difficulty finding and facing trouble. Whether on the storm blasted Falklands cliff tops, where he witnessed the Sir Galahad going down in flames, or in the searing deserts of Iraq, where he and his crew pinned down an entire division of enemy tanks, he has carried the attack with a coolness that has earned him the respect of princes, generals, and his fellow soldiers. Mick Flynn has seen action in every major British war zone of the past 30 years and still serves with the legendary Blues & Royals today. Bullet Magnet is his story - the story of an extraordinary modern warrior who mixes warmth and humour, and at times heartbreaking poignancy, with truly breathtaking fighting skills.

    Emma's Secret , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 828min
    Paula O'Neill, beloved granddaughter of Emma Harte and the guardian of her vast business empire, believes that everything Emma left to the family is secure. However, beneath the surface, sibling rivalry and discontent flare. Linnet and Tessa, her daughters, are as different as two women can be. One of them wants desperately for the empire to be hers but has a devastating secret that may put her very life in danger. Into this volatile mix walks Evan Hughes, a young American fashion designer who is looking for Emma Harte. But Emma has been dead for thirty years. And Evan bears an uncanny resemblance to Paula O'Neill. Troubled by Evan's presence, Paula turns to her grandmother's recently discovered wartime diaries to find the truth, and Emma comes vividly back to life.... The decades fall away. It is London in 1940: the Blitz. Emma, working hard under wartime conditions, is also holding her family together as bombs drop, sirens wail, and her sons go off to war. While she struggles with grief, her indomitability, willpower, and strength come to the fore. As the pages unfurl, Paula discovers the secret Emma took to the grave to protect others, a secret whose repercussions inevitably change lives and may shake a dynasty to its very foundations. ungekürzt.

    Snapshot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 547min
    Two little girls, frozen in black and white. One picture worth killing for.The Civil Rights Movement is less than a distant memory to Lisa Waldren - it is someone else’s memory altogether, passed on to her through the pages of history. Her life as a federal prosecutor in Boston feels utterly remote from the marches in the South that changed her father’s generation - and the entire nation - forever. But the truth is, she was there. When a photograph surfaces showing a blond, four-year-old Lisa playing with an African-American girl at a civil rights march in Fort Worth, Lisa is faced with a jarring revelation: the girls may have been the only witnesses who observed the real killer of civil rights leader Benjamin Gray...and therefore the only ones who can exonerate the death row inmate falsely accused of the murder. Soon, Lisa finds herself in the dangerous world her father had shielded her from as a child. After some searching, the Waldrens find the other little girl from the photo and, in the process, uncover conspiracy mere steps away from the likes of Bobby Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and J. Edgar Hoover. Based on real events and a photograph snapped by author Lis Wiehl’s own G-man father, Snapshot is a remarkably original marriage of mystery and history. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Die Rebellen von Escalian: Perry Rhodan 2622, Hörbuch, Digital, 207min
    In der Milchstraße schreibt man das Jahr 1469 Neuer Galaktischer Zeitrechnung (NGZ) - das entspricht dem Jahr 5056 christlicher Zeitrechnung. Für die Menschen auf der Erde hat sich schlagartig das Leben verändert: Das Solsystem wurde von unbekannten Kräften in ein abgeschottetes Miniatur-Universum verbannt. Nagelraumschiffe der geheimnisvollen Spenta dringen in das Solsystem ein. Sie selbst bezeichnen sich als "Sonnenhäusler" und betrachten Sol als ungeheuren Frevel. Sie stört der Umstand, dass in die Sonnenmaterie der Leichnam einer Superintelligenz eingebettet liegt. Um diesen Körper von der Sonne zu trennen, löschen sie den Stern. Gleichzeitig entführen sie Kinder und Jugendliche, um sie "neu zu formatieren". Perry Rhodan indessen steht an vorderster Front im Kampf um die BASIS und gegen die unheimliche Macht von QIN SHI in einer unbekannten Galaxis.Von QIN SHIS Machenschaften weiß Alaska Saedelaere hingegen schon länger: Mit der LEUCHTKRAFT, einem Raumschiff aus kosmokratischer Fertigung, befindet er sich auf der Suche nach der verschollenen Enthonin Samburi Yura, die als direkte Beauftragte der Hohen Mächte unterwegs war. Offensichtlich sind sowohl QIN SHI als auch das geheimnisvolle Reich der Harmonie irgendwie in die Ereignisse verwickelt. Es gelingt Saedelaere, Kontakte zu einer Herzogin dieses Reiches zu knüpfen und von ihr in die Heimat mitgenommen zu werden. Aber dort werden sie alle als Feinde behandelt. Seine Verbündeten sind daher DIE REBELLEN VON ESCALIAN... In deiner Audible-Bibliothek findest du für dieses Hörerlebnis eine PDF-Datei mit zusätzlichem Material. deutsch.

    The Spy Who Changed the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 758min
    The gripping true story of Klaus Fuchs: the spy who sold the nuclear secrets to the Russians. When the three leaders of the victorious allies, Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, met at Potsdam in July 1945, President Truman announced to Stalin that the US had a new and devastating weapon. Observers report that Stalin paid no attention to this remark. In fact, Stalin was well aware of the existence of the atomic bomb, and the Soviet Union was rapidly developing its own. Stalin owed his knowledge to the atomic scientist Dr Klaus Fuchs, who can lay claim to being the most successful spy in history. A refugee from Nazi Germany, entrusted with crucial work at the very heart of the British and American nuclear weapons project, Fuchs gave every piece of information he had to the KGB, the Russian intelligence agency. Then in 1950, his spy mission complete, he made an unprompted confession to MI6. His espionage accelerated the start of the Cold War between Russia and the West, and caused a split between the US and British governments that forced Britain to build its own atomic weapons. The world that Fuchs helped create remained in the grip of a nuclear stand-off for a generation. The Spy Who Changed the World uses previously unseen archive documents to bring to life one of the most compelling spy stories on the 20th century. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    They Made America: From the Steam Engine to the Search Engine: Two Centuries of Innovators, Hörbuch, Digital, 361min
    There has never been a history of America like Harold Evans's long-awaited They Made America. With the verve and cogency that made his American Century an acclaimed bestseller, Evans tells the epic story of the men and women who made America over two centuries. The workshop revolutionaries who made our world have never had the attention afforded the political revolutionaries who founded this nation. But it has been these innovators, in small-town attics and on the Mississippi, in Silicon Valley and the wheat fields of Kansas, in a black woman's beauty parlor and a Dayton bicycle shop, who set America on a course to attain a standard of living unprecedented in the history of the world. The flourishing of America is the story of an inventive people with a mystic faith in technology, from the early settlers who devised windmills as a way of getting water on the Great Plains to the electronic whiz kids of the Internet. Innovation, practical inventiveness, is the main force behind America's preeminence. But there is more to this extraordinary history. Harold Evans traces how the innovators have time and time again proved to be democratizers, driven not by greed but by an ambition to be remembered. They translated the nation's political ideals into economic reality. Yet many of these heroic contributors have been lost to history. Who fought and fought to make banking available to the common people? Who opened the world of international air travel to the masses? Whose Internet triumph was based on egalitarian ideals? Who put cheap electricity into everyone's homes, and was pursued as a fugitive? Who gave everyman high-quality sound, and was driven to suicide? They Made America is eminently practical; but more than anything, it is history to inspire. Language: English. Narrator: Harold Evans.
