The Castaway's War: One Man's Battle Against Imperial Japan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 420min
In the early hours of July 5, 1943, the destroyer USS Strong was hit by a Japanese torpedo. The powerful weapon broke the destroyer's back, flooded her engine room, killed dozens of sailors, and sparked raging fires. While accompanying ships were able to rescue most of Strong's surviving crewmen, scores were submerged in the ocean as the shattered warship sank beneath the waves - and a young officer's harrowing story of survival began. Based on official American and Japanese histories, personal memoirs, and the author's exclusive interviews with key participants, The Castaway's War tells the entirely unique and very personal tale of Navy Lieutenant Hugh Barr Miller's fight for survival against both a hostile environment and an implacable human enemy. ungekürzt.

Girls in their Married Bliss , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 351min
Kate and Baba are in London, playing out the tragicomedy of their married lives to its surprisingly level-headed conclusion. Kate, feeling trapped in her grey stone house with her increasingly cold husband, tearfully looks for her dreams of romance elsewhere. And when Eugene takes terrible, implacable revenge, she naturally turns to her brazen friend Baba for help. But Baba, the bored trophy wife of builder Frank, vulgarly flashing his wealth and ignorance to the world, has her own problems without Kate drooping self-pityingly over her. And both women find unsuspected qualities in themselves as they learn to face reality. The last book in the 'Country Girls' Trilogy, which began with 'The Country Girls' and was followed by 'Girl with Green Eyes'. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Edna O'Brien.

Captain Linnaeus Tripe: Photographer of India and Burma 1852-1860 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min
Linnaeus Tripe? Shades of a minor character in Dickens or Trollope, but in fact the resoundingly named Tripe (1822-1902), army officer and photographer, was the sixth son and ninth child of a professional middle-class family from Devonport, his father a surgeon in the Royal Navy. He joined, as so many of his background did - younger son, but of a certain social status - the East India Company's army (the 12th Madras Native Infantry) aged only 17, the third Tripe son to do so. The company was the de facto and implacable foreign ruler of India until, following the trauma of the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the British government took over completely from the company's private forces. ungekürzt.

The Secret of Fatima , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 652min
Father Kevin Thrall, chaplain to an inner-city parochial school in Washington, D.C., leads a quiet and rewarding life. But to the Vatican, Thrall's past of elite military combat is uniquely suited for a dangerous mission - one directly tied to the mysterious prophecy revealed by the Blessed Virgin to three Portuguese shepherd children. The three Secrets of Fatima were closely held by the Vatican for decades, but many believe that the Vatican withheld important - and possibly dangerous - parts of the Third Secret. Unfolding as both a modern-day spy thriller and a spiritual quest, Father Thrall faces implacable enemies both within and outside of the Church who will test his abilities and his faith. His failure could shake the very foundations of the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Harding. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/drms/001587/bk_drms_001587_sample.mp3.

When She Was Good , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 670min
In this mesmerizing, funny, chilling novel, the setting is a small town in the 1940s Midwest, the subject the heart of a wounded and ferociously moralistic young woman, one of those implacable American moralists whose "goodness is a terrible disease". When she was still a child, Lucy Nelson had her alcoholic failure of a father thrown in jail. Ever since then, she has been trying to reform the men around her, even if that ultimately means destroying herself in the process. With his unerring portraits of Lucy and her hapless, childlike husband, Roy, Roth has created an uncompromising work of fictional realism, a vision of provincial American piety, yearning, and discontent that is at once pitiless and compassionate. ungekürzt.

Dark Fire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 743min
So Darius warned her when she accepted a position with his traveling troupe. And gazing mesmerized at the merciless slash of his mouth, the implacable resolve on his face, the soulless emptiness of his black eyes, Tempest was afraid to ask what it was. She had always been different, apart from others. From the moment his arms closed around her, enveloping her in a sorcerer's spell, Darius seemed to understand her unique gifts. But did his kiss offer the love and belonging she sought, or a danger more potent than his own panthers? Somewhere deep inside herself, Tempest realized she knew the answer. She had no choice but to accept the velvet stroke of his tongue, submit to the white-hot heat piercing her skin, welcome an erotic pleasure like no other. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Life of Father Vassily , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min
Leonid Andreyev was born in Orel, the capital of the Russian province of the same name, on August 21, 1871. He died on September 12, 1919, in Finland, an exile from his beloved chaos-ridden fatherland. The main characters of Andreyev's stories are "people who stand apart", solitary, lonely characters, moving among their fellow men with a baneful cloud hanging over them. Andreyev's major themes inclue the solitude of the curse-stricken man teetering on the brink of ruin, the morbid acuteness of his perceptions, and the inevitable and endless striving with a remote and implacable deity. These ideas are explored in detail in the sad tale of the hapless Father Vassily, a well-meaning but ineffectual man, whose best intentions are remoselessly crushed by fate. ungekürzt.

Emanation: Shadeward Saga, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 786min
A world of eternal day and everlasting night, burning deserts, and frozen wastes. A people exiled, seeking the truth about their past, long lost in vague, yet disturbing, myth and legend. Technology lost, then found again. A realm of priestesses with remarkable powers and implacable purpose who worship a powerful god; a star that blazes unchanging in the skies above. A star which is poised to unleash devastation upon them all. Two children are smuggled out of Scallia to save them from the feared witches of Drayden, but the "rescue" doesn’t go well. Cast adrift with no memories of each other or their real family, both grow to adolescence, friendless and destitute. All that stands between them and brutal early deaths are the talents they barely know they possess and can’t control. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Drew Wagar.

Wrath of the Urkuun: Epic of Ahiram, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1244min
Better for the Urkuun to kill Ahiram than for him to open the Pit and destroy the world. So thinks Sharr, High Priest of Baal. By releasing the Urkuun from the Spell World, the High Priest also unleashes the creature's implacable wrath on the unsuspecting Kingdom of Tanniin. Ahiram discovered the sword of El-Windiir - the blade of legends - at the Games of the Mines. But freedom can sometimes be the harshest of masters and will soon demand that Ahiram confront his worst fears to win a battle he does not yet know how to fight. His fate, and the fate of the kingdom, hinges on his ability to subdue his stormy rage, rely on the strength of his friends, and believe in the abiding love of Noraldeen. ungekürzt.
