    The Inheritors (eBook, ePUB)
    A precocious take on the science fiction genre well before it rose to prominence - 'The Inheritors' single-handedly tackles the complex themes of corruption, social matters and traditionalism versus the encroachment of the technological age. Conrad successfully does so while describing the Inheritors as inter-dimensional beings that bear a close resemblance to modern-day terrorists as they aspire to a violent and chaotic takeover of the world. Social and colonial critique is intricately spun into the storyline with particularly potent criticism of humanity's greed and easily corruptible condition. A highly recommended read for those interested in classical novels that proffer a unique and enticing glimpse into the essence of life itself as viewed through a kaleidoscope of various contemporary issues. Joseph Conrad's work and his compact, realist style went on to influence many noteworthy writers, including George Orwell, John le Carré and F. Scott Fitzgerald.Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-born author who left Poland in his teens to avoid enlistment in the Russian Army. He learned English aboard British ships and started writing in the language after settling in the UK. His most famous novel is 'Heart of Darkness' (1899), which was inspired by his experiences on the open sea.

    Noble Beginnings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 330min
    In March of 2002, while the eyes of the world focused on Afghanistan, Jack Noble finds himself on the outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq. A Marine in name only, Jack is on loan to the CIA. Normally an integral part of the team, he finds that he is nothing more than a security detail in Iraq. Jack and his partner Bear have a run-in with four CIA special agents over the treatment of an Iraqi family. Within hours Jack and Bear are detained. All Jack wanted was to finish his enlistment and move on with his life. All he did was intervene and save a family from unwarranted violence at the hands of four CIA agents. But he soon discovers that he did far more than intervene. He has placed himself dead square in the middle of a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the US government. This fast-paced political crime thriller by USA Today best-selling author L.T. Ryan will leave you burning through the minutes as Jack races to stop the conspiracy before it claims his life. Fans of Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp, and Jason Bourne should enjoy Jack Noble. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis Holland.

"Unofficial Space Captain" What would you do if an alien race killed your best friend?

    The Nobility of Our Hearts: From Bến Súc to Sài Gòn to Austin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 381min
    The Nobility of Our Hearts: From Bến Súc to Sài Gòn to Austin spans the remarkable events of 20th-century Vietnam: from French rule to the Great Depression, from the Second World War to the Vietnamese civil war that involved the US. At the center of this global history stands one Vietnamese woman, Cẩm Hồng. Whether she is embarking alone at the age of 14 on an ocean liner to Bordeaux to pursue her education, experiencing the bombing of Sài Gòn that forces her family to hide in the jungle while she endures the death of her daughter, witnessing the enlistment of three of her sons in the Vietnamese Armed Force, or finally escaping from Vietnam as a refugee to ultimately settle in Austin, Texas, Cẩm Hồng is a steadfast testament to perseverance and the Confucian values that sustained her. This is the real story of South Vietnam, not simply the horrific experience of one particular decade. It provides an expanded perspective of the full history of Vietnam while engaging the listener through intimate details and novelistic techniques to create a beguiling and dramatic work of nonfiction. ungekürzt.
