Daisy and the Trouble With Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 89min
The trouble with life is it's sooooooo not fair. And the trouble with being grounded is it's sooooooo boring. You absolutely can't go anywhere at all. No hopping, jumping, flying, or parachuting. Daisy's got ever so much time to think about what she's done. Really, if her pocket money hadn't run out, and if someone hadn't dropped a strawberry dib-dab on the pavement, and if strawberry dib-dabs weren't Daisy's absolutely favourite sweet.... Who knew that it had invisible red germs that are so totally teensy and that Auntie Sue says give you tummy trouble? Daisy's trips to the loo are interspersed with hilarious musings about the trouble with everything, from her goldfish Freddie, who thinks he's a dolphin, to the school name-caller Jack Beechwhistle, and hosepipes that don't do as they're told. Now, if only Daisy can find a word to rhyme with hippopotamus, she and Gabby can magic next door's cat into a hippo - when she's un-grounded and off the loo, of course. ungekürzt. Language: English.

SYLO: SYLO, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 639min
The ultimate action-fueled end-of-the-world conspiracy trilogy from number-one New York Times best-selling author D. J. MacHale. They came from the sky parachuting out of military helicopters to invade Tucker Pierce's idyllic hometown on Pemberwick Island, Maine. They call themselves SYLO and they are a secret branch of the U.S. Navy. SYLO's commander, Captain Granger, informs Pemberwick residents that the island has been hit by a lethal virus and must be quarantined. Now Pemberwick is cut off from the outside world. Tucker believes there’s more to SYLO’s story. He was on the sidelines when the high school running back dropped dead with no warning. He saw the bizarre midnight explosion over the ocean, and the mysterious singing aircraft that travel like shadows through the night sky. He tasted the Ruby - and experienced the powers it gave him - for himself. What all this means, SYLO isn’t saying. Only Tucker holds the clues that can solve this deadly mystery. Look to the sky because Pemberwick is only the first stop. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew Bates. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/peng/002148/bk_peng_002148_sample.mp3.

Aggressor: Nick Stone, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 599min
Ex-deniable operator Nick Stone seems to be living his dream, not a care in the world as he steers his camper van round the surfing and parachuting paradise of Australia, a board on the roof, a freefall rig behind him, and a beautiful young backpacker at his side. But when he sees a news report of the massacre of women and children in a terrorist outrage the other side of the world, long-suppressed memories are triggered, and Nick knows he must risk everything to repay a longstanding debt of friendship. As events unfold in the bleak, medieval villages of Georgia and teeming streets of modern Istanbul, Nick finds himself catapulted once more into the murky, clandestine world he thought he'd left behind - a world in the grip of nameless enemies who linger in the shadows, and stalk the corridors of power... Hurtled at breakneck pace through a deadly landscape of greed, violence and ever-shifting allegiances, the reader will be left in no doubt that McNab is the master of the genre - and Aggressor shows McNab at his searing, blockbusting best. ungekürzt.

Madeleine's War: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 860min
A compulsively listenable blend of romance and drama - based on actual events in Britain and France leading up to D-day in 1944. Matthew Hammond is a British military officer posted to the European theater during World War II. He sustained a serious injury on the front lines, so bad, in fact, that it cost him a lung. Now he is back in England, unable to fight, but he continues to serve his country by training new Resistance fighters. One of the recruits under his tutelage is Madeleine, a spellbinding, impassioned French Canadian with eyes of "burnished whiskey". Despite protocols discouraging romance, they are deeply in love, and Matthew is torn about putting Madeleine's life in danger. He already has one tragic affair with a Resistance fighter under his belt - his former lover, Celestine, was killed because her assassination of a German doctor went awry. But the Allies are mustering all their resources for crucial beach landings in Normandy, and Matthew knows his unit will need to play a role. It will be a very dangerous mission: parachuting in behind the Nazi line. As Madeleine progresses through the training with her fellow recruits, Matthew can only hope that luck will guide her through when the drop finally arrives. ungekürzt. Language: English.

From the acclaimed author of The Lemonade War comes a new series starring two smart girls determined to liven up their town - one epic prank at a time. Odawahaka has always been too small for Maggie's big scientific ideas. Between her stuck-in-a-rut mom, her grumpy grandpop, and the lifetime supply of sludgy soda in the fridge, it's hard for Maggie to imagine a change. But when Lena moves in, with her creative spirit and outrageous perspective, middle school takes off with a bang. Someone starts pulling the kind of pranks that send their rule-loving new principal into an uproar - complete with purple puffs of smoke, parachuting mice, and a scavenger hunt that leads to secret passageways. Suddenly the same old football games, election for class president, and embarrassing stories feel almost exciting. And for the first time in her life, Maggie begins to wonder if there might be more to Odawahaka than she ever saw coming! Humorous, smart, and full of small-town heart, Nothing but Trouble will have mischief-loving listeners caught up in the cleverness and determination of two girls who can't be held down.

Mud, Sweat and Tears , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 563min
Bear Grylls is a man who has always sought the ultimate in adventure. Growing up on the Isle of Wight, he was taught by his father to sail and climb at an early age. As a teenager he found identity and purpose through both mountaineering and martial arts, which led the young adventurer to the foothills of the mighty Himalaya and a grandmaster's karate training camp in Japan. On returning home, he embarked upon the notoriously gruelling selection course for the British Special Forces to join 21 SAS - a journey that was to push him to the very limits of physical and mental endurance. Then, in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident, Bear broke his back in three places. It was touch and go whether he would ever walk again. However, only eighteen months later Bear became one of the youngest ever climbers to scale Everest, aged only 23. But this was just the beginning of his many extraordinary adventures . . .Known and admired by millions, Bear Grylls has survived where few would dare to go. Now, for the first time, Bear tells the story of his action-packed life. Gripping, moving and wildly exhilarating, Mud, Sweat and Tears is a must-read for adrenalin junkies and armchair adventurers alike. Narrated by Tom Patrick Stephens, who Bear approved himself (since he was off adventuring!) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Patrick Stephens.

Strange Weather , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 875min
Four short novels from the author of The Fireman and Horns, ranging from creepy horror to powerful explorations of our society. One autumnal day in Boulder, Colorado, the clouds open up in a downpour of nails, splinters of bright crystal that tear apart anyone who isn't safely under cover. 'Rain' explores this escalating apocalyptic event, as clouds of nails spread out across the country and the world. Amidst the chaos, a girl studying law enforcement takes it upon herself to resolve a series of almost trivial mysteries...apparently harmless puzzles that turn out to have lethal answers. In 'Loaded', a mall security guard heroically stops a mass shooting and becomes a hero to the modern gun movement. Under the hot glare of the spotlights, though, his story begins to unravel, taking his sanity with it.... 'Snapshot, 1988' tells the story of a kid in Silicon Valley who finds himself threatened by The Phoenician, a tattooed thug who possesses a Polaroid that can steal memories.... And in 'Aloft', a young man takes to the skies to experience parachuting for the first time...and winds up a castaway on an impossibly solid cloud, a Prospero's island of roiling vapour that seems animated by a mind of its own. Read by Wil Wheaton, Kate Mulgrew, Dennis Boutsikaris and Stephen Lang. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis Boutsikaris, Kate Mulgrew, Stephen Lang, Wil Wheaton.

D-Day (Time Patrol) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min
June 6th is the Day of Days. Same date; six different years, the Time Patrol must save our timeline from the shadow by preserving our past to protect our timeline from annihilation. History is made by ordinary people doing extraordinary things. The fact that often history doesn't record the heroics of these people doesn't alter that. The missions on June 6th range from: AD 1944: Parachuting in behind the beaches of Normandy and linking up with the Resistance to insure the last good war ends the way history records. 478 BC: At the Pythian Games in Greece in AD 478 where art and war merge. AD 452: A monster's lair in AD 452 where a man becomes the legend of Beowulf. AD 1843: At West Point, where a middling cadet, small in stature, named Ulysses S. Grant is trying to survive and graduate, with his curious brain that mixes war and art. AD 1998: In a secret nuclear weapons depot in Pakistan, where the saber-rattling of nuclear tests is getting ready to escalate into Armageddon; a war to end all wars. And, strangest of all, a mission thousands of years into pre-history, to the day Art is born. It is up to the Time Patrol to send an agent back to six different years on June 6th and make sure our timelines stay intact! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric G. Dove.

Walk to Freedom: Kriegsgefangenen #6410: Prisoner of War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
June 30, 1944: Fifty members of the United States 460th Bomb Group embarked on an important mission to destroy German oil refineries in Silesia, Hungary, only to come under heavy attack. Above the cloud cover, German twin-engine Me-410 fighters firing 20-millimeter cannons blasted seven B-24s out of the sky. Seventeen US airmen were killed, 24 captured, with many of them badly burned, wounded, or beaten to death by Hungarian peasants after parachuting to the ground. This single event marked the beginning of a heart-wrenching episode in the life of one airman: T/Sgt. John L. Lenburg. On his 36th mission, he was shot down along with the crew of their B-24, "Miss Fortune", over enemy lines near Lake Balaton, Hungary. Taken prisoner (or "Kriegsgefangenen #6410", the code name the Germans gave him), he never knew if he would see his homeland again. Walk to Freedom: Kriegsgefangenen #6410 - Prisoner of War is Lenburg's powerful, compelling account of his 327 days of imprisonment and long walk to freedom 11 months after his capture. Recalling the inhumane treatment and horrific conditions of his encampment, the missions and memories, and the reunions of the few who survived 50 years later, this revised and expanded memoir demonstrates why Lenburg and his crew were "the greatest generation" of their time. ungekürzt.
