    The Restless Earth (eBook, ePUB)
    Inspired by actual events in the 1950s rural South.The moneymen turned him away, laughing, sneering, saying his science was bad; saying he was too far away from oil, calling him a fool, a dupe, a hopeless loser. His peers, smelling the stnech of failure, distanced themselves from him. His lenders - the few he had - fidgeted, fearing he was unlucky.His bills and worries mounted. His drilling rig, "Lucky Lucy," true to the antitheses of her name, broke down almost daily. His crew, tired of working for nothing, threatened to walk away.Crafty, whispering voices, from figures waoting from the shadows, schemed to get at that which he sought, if he were lucky enough to find it. Eager, desperate faces of farmers, merchants, and townspeople stood aside watching, waiting, praying his good luck would be theirs as well.Few believed him, and as his bit twisted its way into the Earth's mysterious belly, one who did, a woman he wondered if he could trust, told him what he couldn't seem to fathom - that his real discovery would likely not be at the bottom of his hole.

    The California Gold Rush and the Coming of the Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
    In this revelatory study, award-winning historian Leonard L. Richards outlines the links between the Gold Rush and the Civil War. Richards explains that Southerners envisioned California as a new market for slaves who could dig for gold, schemed to tie California to the South via railroad, and imagined splitting off the state's southern half as a slave state. We learn how the Gold Rush influenced other regional and national squabbles, and we meet renegade New York Democrat David Broderick, who became a force in San Francisco politics in 1849, and his archrival, William Gwin, a major Mississippi slaveholder. Richards recounts the political battles and the fiery California feuds, duels, and, perhaps, outright murders as the state came shockingly close to being divided in two. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Behind the DarkIn a world where monsters walk amongst humans, The truth is rarely pure and never simple.Only partly fabricated. As it always is. How do you think we got so far as where we are now without cutting out some parts and replacing them with something else, something more acceptable but not too incredulous and schemed to believe in? Of course, the truth is rarely pure. As everything else is. We plant corruption in every crevice, so how would you ever believe we have not planted it along with lies? Sometimes we can be pure fools. But this is not about it, is it? Who cares if we are? We know what is harder.To face the truth raw is to face the ugliness of our being. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael J. Ferry.

    The January Dancer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 780min
    Michael Flynn, Hugo Award finalist and Robert A. Heinlein Award - winning science-fiction writer, has here written a space opera with stunningly successful results. The January Dancer tells the fateful story of an ancient prehuman artifact of great power and of the people who found it. Starting with Captain Amos January, who quickly loses it, and then the others who fought, schemed, and killed to get it, we travel around the complex, decadent, brawling, mongrelized, interstellar human civilization that the artifact might save or destroy. Collectors want the Dancer, pirates take it, rulers crave it, and all will kill, if necessary, to get it. This is a thrilling yarn of love, revolution, music, and mystery, and it ends, as all great stories do, with shock and a beginning. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki.

    It’s Murder at St. Basket’s , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 218min
    Christopher Quincy was an American boy whose father admired everything British. As a result of this trait, Chris found himself trapped at St. Basket’s, an ancient London school founded - and built - in the time of Henry VIII and, Chris thought, it looked it. The corridors were dim and drafty, and the rooms of the boarding pupils, of whom Chris was one of four, were gloomy and unpretentious. Still, Chris had good company in his two roommates, Leslie Plainfield, who was English, and David Choudhry, a Pakistani. The three were close friends, which made it all the more horrifying when Chris and Leslie saw Mr. Jaggers, the games master, deliberately, so it seemed, break David’s leg with a hockey stick. Unaccountably, Mr. and Miss Grime, the school heads, refused to have a doctor for David. In the midst of apparent security and traditional British calm, a truly macabre and dangerous situation was building up. How Chris schemed desperately to get help from outside is told in the exciting and often hilarious story of a modern American boy’s courage and ingenuity. ungekürzt. Language: English.
