The Black Elfstone: Book One of the Fall of Shannara , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 637min
The Black Elfstone is the first book in the Fall of Shannara, the epic four-part conclusion to the wildly popular Shannara series by Terry Brooks - one of the all-time masters of fantasy. The Four Lands has been at peace for generations, but now a mysterious army of invaders is cutting a bloody swath across a remote region of the land. No one knows who they are, where they come from, or what they are after - and most seem content to ignore these disturbing events. The only people who sense a greater growing threat and wish to uncover the truth are society's outcasts: an exiled High Druid, a conflicted warrior, a teenage girl struggling to master a prodigious magic...and a scrappy young orphan, improbably named Shea Ohmsford. ungekürzt.

An Aviator at Heart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
All he wanted was to fly. A shy, socially awkward teenage pilot with an itchy throttle hand, a Da Vinci-esque knack for sketching, and four generations of aeronautical heritage can’t wait to manifest his passionate aversion to the ground. He sees every hard earned dollar as a tick on the Hobbs meter. Every unencumbered swath of dirt is a potential landing strip, legal or not. His head literally in the clouds over airplanes and girls, the young Aviator can’t take a hint. Oblivious to the opportunities and history right under his nose, his jaunts over the Cascade Mountains of Washington State to fly 1940s-era taildraggers at Evergreen Field, where he lands in the company of local aviation legend Wally Olson. Three decades later, the reminiscent Aviator gets 20/20 vision from Dr. Hindsight. This audiobook is packed with adventures that provide a uniquely personal account. ungekürzt. Language: English.

One Ranger: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 675min

Legend says that one Ranger is all it takes to put down lawlessness and restore the peace: one riot, one Ranger. In this adventure-filled memoir, Joaquin Jackson recalls what it was like to be the Ranger who responded when riots threatened, violence erupted, and criminals needed to be brought to justice across a wide swath of the Texas-Mexico border from 1966 to 1993. ungekürzt.

Tunnel Rats , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 354min
They were young, they were Australian, they were Army engineers and they were the first allied soldiers to risk their lives in the darkness of the Vietcong tunnels of South Vietnam. Staring death squarely in the face every day, not only did they follow their enemy down into these unknown underground labyrinths, but matched the Vietcong’s jungle warfare skills and defused thousands of their clever booby traps. Off duty, it was a different story. The bad boys of 3 Field Troop were a boozing, brawling, bonking bunch of larrikins, who cut a swath through the bars and brothels of Saigon, fought American Military Police to a standstill, built a secret casino and booby-trapped their own HQ to teach their officers a lesson. Thrilling, inspiring and action packed, this is the true story of the unsung heroes of Australia’s war in Vietnam. Living up to their motto of ‘We Make and We Break’, they created the legend of the Tunnel Rats. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicholas Bell.
