    UFO Down: A Sci-Fi Mystery Thriller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 406min
    In the freezing night sky over Nazi Germany, Harry Wakefield faces a terrible choice - jump from his crippled RAF bomber without a parachute or burn to death as it crashes to earth. Harry jumps...and survives the long fall with barely a scratch. Twenty years later, a powerful earthquake rocks the Berwyn Mountains in North Wales, waking Harry and his family from their sleep. Convinced that a plane has crashed on a nearby peak, Harry races up the mountain, only to discover the wreckage is not an aircraft. It’s something else entirely. And there’s a living, breathing survivor. As government forces lock down the mountain, others converge on the area, dark agents of powerful organisations who know the truth about extraterrestrials and their long history of earthly visitations. As the noose slowly tightens, Harry and his family must choose between betraying their strange visitor or evading the ruthless hunters determined to suppress all public knowledge of a bizarre and frightening phenomenon....One that Harry has witnessed before in the skies over Nazi Germany. ungekürzt.

    A mysterious stone of black obsidian holds a magical grip over a rural French clan ripped apart by an ancient curse. The Nazis covet the relic as a weapon of immense power that will lead their armies to victory in the West.

The French police and the Gestapo will destroy all in their path to possess it. Three allied agents parachute into enemy-occupied France in a desperate race to uncover the truth of The Black Sun. For Sergeant John Keene, the mission will alter reality for all time. For Ariéle, the stone promises either freedom from captivity or certain death.

    Going All In: Seven Ways Jesus Awakens True Followers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
    What if you were able to learn the secret from Jesus' best friend for awakening true followers? Jesus' best friend John chose seven signs through which to help us better understand the nature of the kingdom. Jesus came to introduce. It’s not enough to “believe", as the inadequate English translation of the word pisteuo would have us understand. John shows us how Jesus used these signs to awaken ordinary people to believe “all in” and become sold-out Christ followers.This seven-week journey will explore the seven ways Jesus awakened sleeping giants to become true kingdom followers and change the world. No amount of new facts about Jesus would be the jangling alarm to awaken true followers. Watching someone parachute out from an airplane is nowhere near the same thing as jumping yourself. New Testament believers went “all in” to follow Jesus, and that is the route plotted by John for you. It is my desire that this seven-week journey will awaken you from your slumber (Eph. 5:14), and you will include and encourage those around you to become true followers of Jesus as you learn essential kingdom skills necessary to develop multiplying disciples. ungekürzt.

    Dyatlov Nine: Death Below Zero , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 384min
    The mysteries surrounding the deaths of nine young, experienced ski hikers in 1959 have never been solved. On a trip through the Ural Mountains, the group of students first were reported missing and then were found deceased, but several were not located until months following the tragedy. Despite exhaustive investigations, there has never been a theory that explains exactly what killed the nine, and because of this, many unusual conjectures have arisen. Strange theories include a yeti attack, UFOs, and teleportation, military/government secret weapons testing, rogue missiles, or parachute mines, radio waves, and black holes.Because of the truly strange behavior of the nine skiers, their shocking causes of death from autopsy reports and other evidence, and the many unanswered questions, the mystery has sparked fierce debates.The fact is that we may never know exactly what happened to the young people during their trip and especially on February 1-2 of 1959, but Dyatlov Nine: Death Below Zero offers a theory that fits all the evidence including diaries, forensics, and photographs. With new pictures and new maps in the book, the case may finally be solved.Warning: Graphic autopsy reports and photographs. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nathan Tarantla.

    True Faith and Allegiance: An American Paratrooper and the 1972 Battle for An Loc , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 427min
    True Faith and Allegiance: An American Paratrooper and the 1972 Battle for An Loc is an intimate and compelling account of the most brutal infantry warfare. It is also a critique of the mishandling of America's departure from Indochina. An unintended consequence of Washington's stampede to get out of Indochina was an upsurge in combat on a scale not seen before in Vietnam, peaking with the Easter Offensive of 1972. The battle for An Loc, a key component in the North Vietnamese attempt to overwhelm the South, swept Mike McDermott, then the senior advisor to an elite South Vietnamese paratrooper battalion, into some of the most horrific close-quarters fighting of the war. His in-the-trenches account is augmented by detailed descriptions of a user's perspective on the parachute resupply, tactical airpower, and B-52 strikes that allowed the An Loc garrison to survive. True Faith and Allegiance is a riveting recounting of the prism through which a Vietnam veteran views the war as he continues to live with the aftereffects of life-altering experiences in the service of his country. The book is published by The University of Alabama Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Smith. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/001998/bk_acx0_001998_sample.mp3.
