In a valiant rebellion against a half century of occupation by the Kurians, the newly formed Texas Republic and Ozark Free Territory have dealt the vampiric aliens their first major defeat. Resistance member David Valentine is revered as a hero for his part in fighting to regain Earth's freedom. But a dangerous enemy within his own ranks soon has Valentine facing charges for his handling of the Quisling prisoners - humans who have become pawns of the Kurians in order to survive. When former Quisling - and now loyal freedom fighter - William Post is badly wounded, he asks Valentine to find his wife, who has vanished into the darkness of the Kurian Order. With the help of old friends and new allies, Valentine traces her to a mysterious, heavily guarded compound in Ohio. And what Valentine finds within will shake his sanity to its very core...

    Oslo Spies: Phyllis Bowden Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
    Norway is a destroyed country at the end of World War II. After a seemingly endless five-year German occupation, Norwegians have lost more than imports and exports, everyday goods and services, communications and social events. Norway lost more than 10,000 men and women in the resistance, as well as in slave labor and concentration camps scattered throughout Europe. Norway lost hundreds of teachers and religious leaders who died resisting Vidkun Quisling, the head of the Norwegian Nazi Party. Quisling’s demands for Nazi indoctrination to be taught in schools and churches forced teachers and pastors to quit their posts and work underground. The people of Norway lost more than all these things: Norwegian children were deprived of their childhoods, one of the most precious commodities of all.It seems a horrendous assignment for Phyllis Bowden, a young woman in military intelligence assigned to the Office of the Military Attache in the American Embassy in Oslo. Her official tasks include secretarial and intelligence duties, and finding families of lost loved ones. These office duties, as tough as they may be, pale when she’s faced with something that occurs outside the office. Phyllis finds a runaway child in a café bathroom one night, beginning her most difficult task: what to do with the little girl labeled a quisling because her Norwegian mother married a German officer. A contentious purge has overtaken the country and quislings are not to be tolerated. But the girl has been tortured and abused by the time Phyllis finds her. Should she save the child, and if so, how? Any way she tries may have international consequences.Meanwhile the love of her life, Joe Schneider, an MI5 agent, has disappeared in Romania while on assignment. Between nerve-wracking tasks in her job, trying to decide the fate of the little girl, and being heartbroken over Joe’s disappearance, Phyllis is in for the biggest struggle of her young life and intelligence car ungekürzt.

    National best-selling author E. E. Knight continues the story of David Valentine, as the resistance fighter joins a movement determined to reclaim the human world from alien oppressors....Freedom is on the march as the rebellion against the Kurian Occupation of Earth takes the offensive.

Now they're ready to join forces with a guerrilla army planning to establish a new freehold in the Appalachian Mountains.Valentine knows that a permanent outpost near the East Coast would provide a strategic victory over the Kurians- and he believes that only his old friend and ally Ahn-Kha could possibly be leading the guerrillas on such a daring endeavor.

    Scandinavians: In Search of the Soul of the North , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 950min
    Includes a multicast recording of featured interlude 'Ibsen's Ghosts'! The Scandinavians are regarded as Europe's most tolerant and peace-loving people. So how was it that one of the worst acts of political terror ever witnessed on this continent was committed by a Norwegian - against his fellow countrymen? Scandinavia is the epitome of cool: we fill our homes with cheap but stylish Nordic furniture; we envy their health-giving outdoor lifestyle; we glut ourselves on their crime fiction; even their strangely attractive melancholia seems to express a stoic, commonsensical acceptance of life's many vicissitudes. But how valid is this outsider's view of Scandinavia and how accurate our picture of life in Scandinavia today? Robert Ferguson digs down through two millennia of history to tell stories of extraordinary events, people and objects - from Norwegian death metal to Vidkun Quisling, from Agnetha Fältskog to Greta Garbo, from Lurpak butter to the Old Norse rune stones - that richly illuminate our understanding of modern Scandinavia and its society, politics, culture and temperament. ungekürzt.

    Laisrathera: Her Instruments, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 797min
    The Queen of the Eldritch has offered Reese Eddings a life out of a fairy tale, one beyond the imagination of a poor girl from Mars who'd expected to spend her life eking out a living with a rattletrap merchant vessel. Unfortunately, the day Reese reached out to accept Liolesa's offer, Hirianthial's enemies betrayed him - and his entire planet - to a race of sociopathic shapeshifters with dreams of conquest. Now the only thing between Reese and a castle of her very own is a maniacal alien despot, his native quisling, and all the Eldritch dead-set on preventing the incursion of aliens at any cost, including the ousting of their current usurper, who happens to be an alien himself.... Reese, Hirianthial, and the crew of the Earthrise have been battling these pirates since Hirianthial's capture inspired their fateful meeting, but to beat them, Reese will have to own the power she's always denied herself, and Hirianthial must make peace with his bloody past and uncertain future. The stakes have never been higher, and this last time will count for all. The final battlefield awaits. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Dorse.

    Der Sturm
    Eine atmosphärisch dichte Familiengeschichte auf einer abgelegenen Insel Norwegens - mit sezierender poetischer Erzählkunst gelingt es Sem-Sandberg, das Schweigen über die Vergangenheit zu brechen. Norwegen, Ende der 1990er: Andreas kehrt zurück auf die Insel, auf der er seine Kindheit verbrachte, um das Anwesen seines verstorbenen Adoptivvaters Johannes aufzulösen. Mitten im Durcheinander findet er Spuren, die auf die bewegte Vergangenheit der Insel hinweisen und mit seiner nicht begleichbaren Schuld im Zusammenhang stehen. »Der Sturm« von Sem-Sandberg besticht durch seine einnehmende, poetische, kristallklare Sprache. Andreas war noch klein, als er mit seiner Schwester Minna zu Johannes ins Gelbe Haus kam, das auch als Totes Haus beschimpft wurde. Warum, das wusste er nicht. Es wurde ja nichts wirklich ausgesprochen auf der Insel. Aber der Argwohn nistete überall. Johannes nahm sich der beiden Kinder an, nachdem ihre Eltern auf mysteriöse Weise verschwanden. Ein Flugzeugabsturz, munkelte man. Auch Johannes erzählte ihnen stets von der Tragödie, die sich über dem Meer abgespielt haben soll. Doch Andreas forschte nach. Und wird fündig, als er Jahre später an den Ort seiner Kindheit zurückkehrt. Nach und nach erfährt er die Wahrheit über seinen Ursprung, der eng mit der Geschichte der Insel zusammenhängt, auf der die faschistische Quisling- Regierung zuließ, dass eine Kolonie für arme Kinder entstand. Dabei muss er sich auch mit seiner rebellischen Schwester auseinandersetzen, die er so sehr liebte, dass er Schuld auf sich lud, mit der er schließlich von ihr alleine gelassen wurde.

    The French Resistance: The History of the Opposition Against Nazi Germany's Occupation of France During World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 90min
    The French Army crumbled swiftly under the powerful blows delivered to it in 1940 by Adolf Hitler's self-confident Wehrmacht. Launching a massive feint into Belgium to lure mobile French armies and the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) away from the actual point of attack, the weakly protected Ardennes Forest, the Germans struck past the Maginot Line. In a lightning campaign, Guderian's panzers punched through to the coast, dividing Allied forces with a steel cordon across France and forcing the evacuation of the BEF from the port of Dunkirk. Not all French people proved willing to surrender to the Nazi invaders, however. While large numbers collaborated – working for German or Vichy companies to provide for themselves or their families – and some wholeheartedly backed the new regime out of opportunism, fascist conviction, or other motivations, a courageous minority operated in secret to resist their conquerors and the quisling state at Vichy: "De Gaulle described them as being bound together by a taste for risk and adventure [...] national pride sharpened by the suffering of their nation and 'an overwhelming confidence in the strength and cunning of their own plot'. [...] 'With him, it is [...] serving the Resistance and national honour, uncompromisingly demanding,' wrote one. 'With him, we would have to get used to breathing the rarefied air of the summits.'" (Fenby, 2012, 109). The French Resistance never grew into a single unified organization. Rather, it remained divided in several major and numerous minor factions, each with their own philosophy and agenda. While these factions all shared the same goal – opposition to the Germans their Vichy pawns – they viewed each other with some suspicion and sometimes cooperated only grudgingly. During the war years, however, the Resistance kept the spirit of an independent and defiant France smoldering under the surface of Nazi domination, waiting for the opportunity to emerge again, regardle ungekürzt.
