    Firestorm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 592min
    Firefighter paramedic Mallory "Ice" James commands a crew of smokejumpers - twenty women and men who eat together, sleep together, and parachute into the face of raging forest fires together - and she has thirty days to whip the rookies into shape. Discipline and teamwork mean the difference between life and death on the line, and she's earned her reputation as cool and controlled in the face of danger. Mallory isn't happy when "Hotshot" Jac Russo shows up unannounced for boot camp along with a reputation for being trouble. Jac is none too pleased about her cold reception, even if the new boss is drop-dead gorgeous and hotter than the blazes they're supposed to be dousing. Mallory and Jac may not like each other much, but lust isn't something either can control - and they soon discover ice burns as fiercely as flame. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    D-Day with the Screaming Eagles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 853min
    In the predawn darkness of D-Day, an elite fighting force struck the first blows against Hitler's Fortress Europe. Braving a hail of enemy gunfire and mortars, bold invaders from the sky descended into the hedgerow country and swarmed the meadows of Normandy. Some would live, some would die, but all would fight with the guts and determination that made them the most famous US Army division in World War II: the 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles". George Koskimaki was part of the 101st Airborne's daring parachute landing into occupied France that day. Now, drawing on more than 500 firsthand accounts, Koskimaki re-creates those critical hours in all their ferocity and terror. Told by those who ultimately prevailed - ordinary Americans who faced an extraordinary challenge - D-Day with the Screaming Eagles is the real history of that climactic struggle beyond the beachhead. ungekürzt.

    More Than A Man Can Stand: A Novel of Fact and Speculation (eBook, ePUB)
    More Than A Man Can Stand: A Novel of Fact and Speculation - Paul Redfern was one of the heroic aviators of 1927. He came up with an idea that would make him more heroic than Charles Lindbergh. Instead of the historic 33-hour solo flight that Lindbergh made from New York to Paris, Redfern set out to fly 50 hours from Brunswick, Georgia, to Rio de Janiero. Three months after Lindbergh set foot in Paris, Redfern took off in a single-engine plane with no radio and no parachute. Somewhere along the way to Rio, he went down. He had ignored advice that his proposed flight was "more than a man can stand." Over the next eleven years, there were thirteen expeditions to South America to search for Redfern. There were persistent rumors driving the search of a white man who had "fallen from the sky," and who was living with a native tribe. What really happened to Redfern? This book weaves together what little is actually known about the pilot after his crash with brilliant speculation as to his life among the Yonomami and other dangerous tribes of the Orinoco Basin of Venezuela.
