    Temporary Sanity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 502min
    Martha "Marty" Nickerson, a Cape Cod district attorney turned defense lawyer, must defend a man who shot his son's presumed killer on live television. The only possible defense is insanity, but the grieving father refuses to say he was crazy when he pulled the trigger. In a seemingly unrelated case, a battered woman is held for the murder of her spouse, and all evidence points to her as the murderess. Now with two seemingly unwinnable murder cases on her slate, a losing verdict may be the least of her worries as Marty's harrowing hunt for the truth leads to shocking revelations and possible links that may put her in the sight line of a vengeful and all too capable killer. ungekürzt.

    The Operators
    'An impressive feat of journalism by a Washington outsider who seemed to know more about what was going on in Washington than most insiders did' New York Times General Stanley McChrystal, innovative commander of international and US forces in Afghanistan, was living large. During a spring 2010 trip across Europe he was accompanied by journalist Michael Hastings of Rolling Stone, who looked on as McChrystal and his staff partied and openly bashed the Obama administration. Hasting's published piece aroused a political firestorm: McChrystal was unceremoniously fired. The Operators gives us a shocking behind-the-scenes portrait of Allied military commanders, their high-stakes manoeuvres and bureaucratic in-fighting. Hastings takes us on patrol missions in the Afghan hinterlands and to hotel bars where spies and expensive hookers participate in nation-building gone awry, revealing a hellish complexity and, he fears, an unwinnable war.

    Earth's Last War: Children of Destiny, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 809min
    The surface of Earth is dead. The attack had come fast and without warning. Within weeks, even those hiding below ground were gone, hunted by a ruthless enemy. Terrifying radioactive and electrical thousand miles wide superstorms roam the planet, destroying the cities and last vestiges of human existence. The first wave of the invasion had been perfect. Almost. Six thousand people survived, hidden in a military base deep in the Pacific Ocean. They have but one ship. It is untested, and has never flown. Even with the ship, its commander knows its an unwinnable war. The numbers are too great, the odds beyond calculation. To fight means certain death and the end of humanity. And yet, his thoughts and dreams haunt him. The last broken communication from the president, years ago, give him unfounded confidence that mankind still had a fighting chance. Today is the day that he learns what it is. It lies far below ground, in an impenetrable chamber. And its awakening. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Millikin.

    Dog Days in Saigon, Hörbuch, Digital, 366min
    Stephen McAllister was a grunt, a dog handler in Vietnam, tasked not only with fighting what was by then an unwinnable war but with rehabilitating a scout dog named Big Mike whose trauma ran even deeper than his own. McAllister's voice has an abundance of heart and humor, but the laughter has a catch in its throat. For all the ingenuity and camaraderie, a dark and suspenseful melody plays behind the adventures of McAllister and his unforgettable constellation of young characters, American and Vietnamese.Plunged into an endless nightmare against their will, McAllister and his fellow soldiers must rapidly master the art of creative resistance: finding comfort in each other when they could split along countless lines of race, class, and region; standing up to the rapacious and ridiculous powers that be when blind obedience would be so much easier; and staying alive, when giving up seems like the only option.

    The Whore's Child and Other Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 406min
    To this irresistible debut collection of short stories, Richard Russo brings the same bittersweet wit, deep knowledge of human nature, and spellbinding narrative gifts that distinguish his best-selling novels. His themes are the imperfect bargains of marriage; the discoveries and disillusionments of childhood; the unwinnable battles men and women insist on fighting with the past. A cynical Hollywood moviemaker confronts his dead wife’s lover and abruptly realizes the depth of his own passion. As his parents’ marriage disintegrates, a precocious fifth-grader distracts himself with meditations on baseball, spaghetti, and his place in the universe. And in the title story, an elderly nun enters a college creative-writing class and plays havoc with its tidy notions of fact and fiction. The Whore’s Child is further proof that Russo is one of the finest writers we have, unsparingly truthful yet hugely compassionate. ungekürzt. Language: English.
