    Here is an incredible, true-life adventure set on the most dangerous frontier of all: outer space.For a special breed of individual, the call of space is worth the risk it entails: men such as U.S. astronauts Donald Pettit and Kenneth Bowersox, and Russian flight engineer Nikolai Budarin, who in November 2002 left on what was to be a routine 14-week mission to maintain the International Space Station.But then, on February 1, 2003, the Columbia exploded beneath them. With the launch program suspended indefinitely, these astronauts had suddenly lost their ride home.Too Far from Home chronicles the efforts of the beleaguered Mission Controls in Houston and Moscow as they work frantically against the clock to bring their men safely back to Earth. Chris Jones writes beautifully of the majesty and mystique of space travel, while reminding us all of how perilous it is to soar beyond the sky. Language: English. Narrator: Erik Davies.

    Pyramids: Discworld, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 555min
    It isn't easy, being a teenage pharaoh. You're not allowed to carry money, uninhibited young women peel your grapes for you, everyone thinks you're responsible for making the sun rise and the corn grow, you keep dreaming about seven thin cows and seven fat cows (one of them playing the trombone), and on top of everything else, the Great Pyramid has just exploded because of paracosmic instability. And then you've got to deal with all these assassins, sphinxes, huge wooden horses, mad high priests, philosophers, sacred crocodiles, gods, marching mummies, jobbing pyramid builders and Hat, the Vulture-Headed God of Unexpected Guests. And all you really wanted was the chance to do something for young people and the inner cities. Please note: This is a vintage recording. The audio quality may not be up to modern day standards. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nigel Planer. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rhuk/000254/bk_rhuk_000254_sample.mp3.

    Diamond in the Buff: A Jill Smith Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 383min
    Although the citizens of Berkeley are famously tolerant, that progressive attitude disappears at the property line between the homes of Dr. Hasbrouck Diamond and Leila Sandoval. In the Berkeley hills , there are no worse neighbors than Diamond and Sandoval. What began as a tiff about garbage cans and street parking has exploded into full-blown war, drawing in the city, the press, and now—to the irritation of detective Jill Smith—the police department. Struck by a falling eucalyptus branch while sunning on his deck, Dr. Diamond accuses his neighbor of assault with a deadly tree. As a heat wave causes tempers to flare even higher, Jill does her best to referee the back-and-forth. But when their feud ends in death, she realizes that the community might only be safe with the neighbors behind bars. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Teri Clark Linden.

But he fails to account for the powerful matriarchy of Coba, the mistresses of the great estates who do not want the Empire to know about their recent cultural advances. First they take him prisoner. Then, one by one, the most powerful women on the planet fall in love with him! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anna Fields.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge, Remembering David Foster Wallace (English), Hörbuch, Digital, 51min
    David Foster Wallace changed the landscape of American writing. His novels dissect our media-saturated culture in unflinching detail. And his essays are passed around to friends with the words, "You have to read this." He became a literary rock star in his early thirties for his sprawling novel Infinite Jest, which introduced the world to his looping, verbose, cerebral style. Time Magazine later named it one of the "All Time 100 Greatest Novels." When Wallace committed suicide in 2008, the Internet exploded with tributes and memories that might be surprised you if you weren't paying attention to his career all along. And now, there's a new Hollywood movie about David Foster Wallace, starring Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg. Today, we celebrate the life and work of David Foster Wallace.

    The Hamelin Plague , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 303min
    It’s Not Human! It began with a few small items in the newspapers - dead dogs and cats, a mutilated child, a series of unexplained fires. Then, suddenly, it exploded into a full-sized catastrophe. Huge mutants - half rat, half man - began to take over the world, stealing children for laves and destroying while cities and their populations. Only a few people escaped, among them Tim Barrett, his wife Jane, and a handful of survivors. Alone on the high seas in a small ship, they set off to find the island where Dr. Theodore Piper had been experimenting with a sonic death ray. They knew Dr. Piper was their only hope for personal and world survival - if he was still alive…if the King Rats hadn’t forced him to serve their evil purpose…and if he could find a way to stop the spreading horror of invasion. ungekürzt.

    Virus Hunt: The Search for the Origin of HIV , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min
    The hunt for the origin of the AIDS virus began over 20 years ago. It was a journey that went around the world and involved painstaking research to unravel how, when, and where the virus first infected humans. Dorothy H. Crawford traces the story back to the remote rain forests of Africa - home to the primates that carry the ancestral virus - and reveals how HIV-1 first jumped from chimpanzees to humans in rural southeast Cameroon. Examining how this happened, and how it then travelled back to Colonial west central Africa where it eventually exploded as a pandemic, she asks why and how it was able to spread so widely. From hospital intensive care wards to research laboratories and the African rain forests, this is the wide-ranging story of a killer virus and a tale of scientific endeavour. ungekürzt.

    Coal Dust: The Kentucky Chronicles, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 397min
    Robert Flynn's body is lying in the study of his ornately decorated mansion at Bruenwild Farm in South Central, Ireland. Although it appears that he died of blunt-force trauma to his head, there are no witnesses. But who would want the elderly horseman to meet such a tragic fate? The sad truth is, who wouldn't? Could the Vatican be involved? Could it be Flynn's old friend, Lord Chesterfield? Could it be the man who killed Flynn's former partner? Could it be William Muldoon, whose father and grandfather died when the coal mine that Flynn owned exploded? And what brings Tuck Flannery, owner of Kentucky's Fairhaven Farm, to the Bruenwild Estate? All this and more as the intriguing who-done-it takes you from the majestic Bluegrass of Kentucky to the emerald pastures of Ireland's most prestigious horse farm. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1166min
    In the winter of 1918, at the height of World War I, history's most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. It killed more people in 24 weeks than AIDS has killed in 24 years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision between modern science and epidemic disease.Magisterial in its breadth of perspective and depth of research, The Great Influenza weaves together multiple narratives, with characters ranging from William Welch, founder of the Johns Hopkins Medical School, to John D. Rockefeller and Woodrow Wilson. Ultimately a tale of triumph amid tragedy, this crisis provides us with a precise and sobering model as we confront the epidemics looming on our own horizon. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Evil Beside Her: The True Story of a Texas Woman's Marriage to a Dangerous Psychopath , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 691min
    At first, Linda Bergstrom's marriage to her husband James was idyllic. They were young and in love; he was about to enter the Navy and she was eager to start a family. But it wasn't long before the dream exploded. James became abusive and violent, prone to sudden bursts of anger, long silences, and unexplained disappearances. But Linda vowed to hold on, despite the pain and fear...and her disturbing suspicions about her husband's secret life. Then, not long after their move to Houston, Texas, she made a terrifying discovery: James's hidden cache containing duct tape, a ski mask, and handcuffs. No longer could Linda Bergstrom deny the hideous truth. The man she lived with, the man she married for love, was a dangerous psychopath. And there was no escape and nowhere to run. Because no one - not her friends, the Navy, or the police - would believe her. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Debbie Andreen.
