    The Secret Olympian: The Inside Story of Olympic Excellence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 497min
    The vast majority of us can only dream of being an Olympic-level athlete - but we have no real idea of what that means. Here, for the first time, in all its shocking, funny and downright bizarre glory, is the truth of the Olympic experience. It is an unimaginable world: the kitting-out ceremony with its 35kg of team clothing per athlete, the pre-Olympic holding camp with its practical jokes, resentment, fighting and freaky physiological regimes, the politicians' visits with their flirty spouses, the vast range of athletes with their odd body shapes and freakish genetics, the release post-competition in the Olympic village with all the excessive drinking, eating, partying and sex (not necessarily in that order,) the hysteria of homecoming celebrations and the comedown that follows - how do you adjust to life after the Games? The Secret Olympian talks to scores of Olympic athletes - past and present, from Munich 1960 right through to London 2012, including British, American, Australian, Dutch, French, Croatian, German, Canadian and Italian competitors. ungekürzt.

    Seeded Deep 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min, (USK 18)
    The scientist Wren Fisher was aboard the Eleanor in part because she was reckless: her indiscretions led to her losing a position as a university professor. She was brilliant but impulsive, and she had a reputation for letting sexual appetite overcome her better judgment. Captain Rodriguez is not sure exactly what to make of what is the most bizarre and worrisome story she has ever heard. It had been discovered, first hand by Wren Fisher, that the plantimal could mate with and impregnate a human woman. The video footage of this event is the craziest thing Rodriguez has ever seen - and having fought in the Rigil Kentaurus wars, she has seen some pretty freakish things by earthling standards. The event itself was odd enough, but then Wren had quite rapidly, within seven hours, gestated to what looked like a normal seven or eight months into pregnancy, and she seemed to be adopting characteristics of the tree. When the crew land on another planet to find and experiment on the plantimals, what, or who, will get taken hard and impregnated this time? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sierra Kline.

    When Olivia Williams and her two younger brothers awake from a car crash, they're positive their world has changed. The talking horse is a big clue. And he has a lot to say. According to Thunder, fairies, magic, and good ol' St. Nick are all for real - on some level. Which would be incredibly awesome, but there's a problem: A rift has formed between the layers of existence, and evil Sliders are taking advantage of it - bringing violence, fear, and hatred with them. Now, the three siblings are immersed in a tangle of reality and fantasy. One with trolls, freakish amphibians, and town-devouring rats. Fortunately, help is on hand as Thunder introduces them to a world of Shifters and other powerful beings. Like Olivia's very own Guardian, Ethan. Whom she actually does like. A lot. How could she not, when his job is to stand between her and death? With humanity at stake, the Williams children must do more than accept the unbelievable. They must accomplish the impossible. The rift needs to be sealed, and they're the only people alive with the potential to do it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Melissa Chatwood.

    The Fracking King: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 330min
    A novel about boarding school, hardcore Scrabble fanatics, and fracking - a new kind of environmental novel by a spokesman and chief strategist for Common Cause. The Fracking King follows Winston Crwth - a boarding-school kid, loner, and Scrabble prodigy - who becomes an unlikely hero in the fight to stop fracking in Pennsylvania. Truth is a rare commodity in politics, and the idea of "winning" a debate as cleanly and simply as you'd win a Scrabble game can seem impossible. But with the truth on his side, a jar of toxic "frackwater", and the belief that he can win a Scrabble tournament whose first prize is a meeting with Governor Linda King LaRue, Winston creates a moment of devastating truth for her and for the people who want to frack the state. For all its thoughtful environmental concerns, The Fracking King is also a hopeful audiobook about the power of believing in yourself and pursuing your own particular genius. Winston's Scrabble prowess has its freakish side, but it also makes him genuinely heroic, and his lexical predicaments are funny, shocking, dirty, and sometimes mind-boggling. This is the rare, satisfying debut that's as playful as it is profound. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Podehl.

    High School Dropout to Harvard: My Life with Dyslexia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 156min
    School was a struggle for John D. Rodrigues. He knew he was smart, but teachers and classmates didn’t believe him. All they saw was a kid who wore freakish orthopedic shoes, couldn’t sit still in class, and struggled miserably with reading. At age 16, John had had enough. He dropped out, certain he’d never return to school.  Thanks to a chance encounter, John discovered ice sculpting. Here, finally, was something the young man was good at, and he took to it passionately. His talent for releasing beauty from massive blocks of ice led to jobs working in famous hotels and on cruise ships. He was happy, but his failure to graduate tugged at the back of his mind. The failure, as it turned out, wasn’t John’s. It was the fault of the school system that had never diagnosed his dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Armed with strategies that played to his strengths, John passed remedial classes in community college and then went on to study at Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley. In High School Dropout to Harvard, John candidly recounts his inspirational journey and dispenses hard-won, practical advice for others who may be facing similar challenges. ungekürzt.
