    The Life and Times of Tony Blair , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 38min
    Tony Blair was seen as a fresh face for the Labour Party. A party moderniser, he created 'New Labour' and appealed more to the central political ground. During his 10 years in office, he created the London mayoralty, negotiated the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland and went to war in Iraq. Some say he is one of the most significant prime ministers of the 20th century; others say he will always be judged by his decision to take the country to war. The Life and Times of Tony Blair looks back on a significant career of one of Labour's most memorable modern-day leaders, with insights from political contemporaries David Blunkett, Tessa Jowell, Michael Howard, and Ken Livingstone.

    Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2000min
    Seven years in the making and meticulously researched - Gabler is the first writer to be given complete access to the Disney archives - this is the full story of a man whose work left an ineradicable brand on our culture but whose life has largely been enshrouded in myth. Gabler shows us the young Walt Disney breaking free of a heartland childhood of discipline and deprivation and making his way to Hollywood. We see the visionary, whose desire for escape honed an innate sense of what people wanted to see on the screen and, when combined with iron determination and obsessive perfectionism, led him to the reinvention of animation. It was Disney, first with Mickey Mouse and then with his feature films - most notably Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, and Bambi - who transformed animation from a novelty based on movement to an art form that presented an illusion of life. The author also reveals a wounded, lonely, and often disappointed man, who, despite worldwide success, was plagued with financial problems, suffered a nervous breakdown, and at times retreated into pitiable seclusion in his workshop, making model trains. Gabler explores accusations that Disney was a red-baiter, an anti-Semite, and an embittered alcoholic. Yet whatever his personal failings, Disney appealed to millions by demonstrating the power of wish fulfillment and the triumph of the American imagination. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Wet Part 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 978min
    Paul is good with books, logic, and statistics, but emotions? Not so much. He experienced betrayal as a child, and he vowed to never knowingly let it happen again. He built elaborate, protective barriers around his heart, against the dysfunction that is his family. He didn't see it coming when Rhees Williams came along, dragging her oversized duffel bag onto the deck of his scuba shop. He didn't see it coming when she appealed to his softer side. He didn't see it coming when she found her way into his heart. Rhees is not only a good person, she's the kindest, most innocent, beautiful woman he's ever known. With her, he sees everything doesn't always fit into simple black and white boxes. She teaches him that just because he can get away with something, it doesn't necessarily mean he should. She's changed his life for the better, and he wants it to stay that way. Paul finds himself starting to believe in happily ever afters, that love is real after all - his feelings for Rhees are proof of that. What he and Rhees have is true love - he's sure of it. And another thing he's figured out with certainty? Love sucks! Wet Part 3 is a literal continuation of parts one and two, not a standalone. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Deborah Reeves.

    The Mayfair Mystery: 2835 Mayfair , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
    The first in a new series of classic detective stories from the vaults of HarperCollins involves a disappearing corpse, a supernatural theory, and a genuinely shocking finale. The Detective Story Club, launched by Collins in 1929, was a clearing house for the best and most ingenious crime stories of the age, chosen by a select committee of experts. Now, almost 90 years later, these books are the classics of the Golden Age, republished at last with the same popular cover designs that appealed to their original readers. This most entertaining detective story is concerned with an amazing crime. The body of a wealthy man is discovered by his valet. The valet hurried to a friend of the dead man to tell him of the tragedy. They return to find the body gone! The motive of the murder becomes a deeper mystery still, and no clue seems to lead anywhere. Little by little, however, evidence is built up round a theory, and clever detective work triumphs in the end. For ingenuity and dramatic situations The Mayfair Mystery is hard to beat. First published in 1907 as 2835 Mayfair, the book had caught the imagination of the reading public for its thrilling twists, its wit and imagination, and was chosen to be one of the first 12 classic books released by the Club. ungekürzt.

    Supreme Justice: A Novel of Suspense , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
    New York Times best-selling author Phillip Margolin returns to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., with an exciting thriller about a ghost ship and the president's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court. Sarah Woodruff, on death row in Oregon for murdering her lover, John Finley, has appealed her case to the Supreme Court just when a prominent justice resigns, leaving a vacancy. Then, for no apparent reason, another justice is mysteriously attacked. Dana Cutler, one of the heroes from Margolin's best-selling Executive Privilege, is quietly called in to investigate. She looks for links between the Woodruff appeal and the ominous incidents in the justices' chambers, which eventually lead her to a shoot-out that took place years ago on a small freighter docked upriver in Shelby, Oregon, containing a dead crew and illegal drugs. The only survivor on board? John Finley. With the help of Brad Miller and Keith Evans, Dana uncovers a plot by a rogue element in the American intelligence community involving the president's nominee to the Supreme Court, and soon the trio is thrown back into the grips of a deadly, executive danger. With nonstop action, Supreme Justice picks up where Executive Privilege left off, putting listeners right back where they were, on the edge of their seats. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    No Beast So Fierce: The Champawat Tiger and Her Hunter, the First Tiger Conservationist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
    The deadliest animal of all time meets the world's most legendary hunter in a classic battle between man and wild. But this pulse-pounding narrative is also a nuanced story of how colonialism and environmental destruction upset the natural order, placing man, tiger and nature on a collision course. In Champawat, India, circa 1900, a Bengal tigress was wounded by a poacher in the forests of the Himalayan foothills. Unable to hunt her usual prey, the tiger began stalking and eating an easier food source: human beings. Between 1900 and 1907, the Champawat Man-Eater, as she became known, emerged as the most prolific serial killer of human beings the world has ever known, claiming an astonishing 436 lives.Desperate for help, authorities appealed to renowned local hunter Jim Corbett, an Indian-born Brit of Irish descent, who was intimately familiar with the Champawat forest. Corbett, who would later earn fame and devote the latter part of his life to saving the Bengal tiger and its habitat, sprang into action. Like a detective on the tail of a serial killer, he tracked the tiger’s movements, as the tiger began to hunt him in return.This was the beginning of Corbett’s lifelong love of tigers, though his first encounter with the Champawat Tiger would be her last. ungekürzt.

    Chasing Sunsets: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 554min
    From number-one New York Times best-selling author Karen Kingsbury comes the second novel in a brand-new series about divine intervention and second chances - the dramatic story of a woman desperate to find deeper meaning in her life. Mary Catherine grew up in a comfortable life despite an array of health issues, including a congenital heart condition (which she quietly obsesses over). She loves her parents, who are quite wealthy, but the lifestyle never appealed to her. Instead she pursues meaning through an abundance of charity work, always giving away a part of herself in service of others. After her project with a local youth center comes to an end, Mary Catherine decides to travel to Uganda on a mission to meet the two children she sponsors - and to find out if her donations are actually helping. Accompanied by Tyler, Sami, and Marcus Dillinger, Mary Catherine arrives in Africa only to find a makeshift orphanage with 17 children and no one to care for them. They return home with heavy hearts, and Mary Catherine knows there is more work to be done. Intent on returning to Africa, Mary Catherine quits her job and leaves a budding romance behind to fulfill her desire to help others. Inspirational and moving, Chasing Sunsets is the story of one woman's deep longings of the soul and the sacrifices she's willing to make in search of healing. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Scratched: A Texas Shifters Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 58min, (USK 18)
    Justin can’t believe he’s been saddled with Angela. Sure, she’s a great contractor, but why in the world does he need to have anyone forced on him in the first place? It doesn’t help that she’s hot as hell because that adds even more distraction to an already unhappy situation. Can he make it through the weeks to move forward? Can she? Here is a preview of what you'll find in the audiobook: The place was empty for the most part, but there was evidence it was used by local kids occasionally as a hangout. There was a mattress on the floor and a few empty beer cans. He imagined that the retail surroundings kept it from getting too overrun. There were still some old office furniture in one of the rooms, and he probably would have paid more attention to everything, but it was hard as hell because Angie appealed way too much.It didn’t make any sense!In the past, he’d slept with women who meant nothing to him and he’d also slept with women who meant at least a little to him. That was just the one- or two-night stands. He’d slept with women in short relationships that didn’t work out as well. He’d never been attracted to a woman he didn’t actually like. It seemed cheap to even think along sexual lines at all, when it came to Angie.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angie Hall.
