Mastering the West: Rome and Carthage at War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 643min
To say the Punic Wars (264-146 BC) were a turning point in world history is a vast understatement. This bloody and protracted conflict pitted two flourishing Mediterranean powers against one another, leaving one an unrivalled giant and the other a literal pile of ash. To later observers, a collision between these civilizations seemed inevitable and yet to the Romans and Carthaginians at the time hostilities first erupted seemingly out of nowhere, with what were expected to be inconsequential results. Mastering the West offers a thoroughly engrossing narrative of this century of battle in the western Mediterranean, while treating a full range of themes: the antagonists' military, naval, economic, and demographic resources; the political structures of both republics; and the postwar impact of the conflicts on the participants and victims. The narrative also investigates questions of leadership and the contributions and mistakes of leaders like Hannibal, Fabius the Delayer, Scipio Africanus, Masinissa, and Scipio Aemilianus. Dexter Hoyos, a leading expert of the period, treats the two great powers evenly, without neglecting the important roles played by Syracuse, Macedon, and especially Numidia. Written with verve in a clear, accessible style, Mastering the West will be the most reliable and engaging narrative of this pivotal era in ancient history. ungekürzt. Language: English.

My Darling Arrow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 706min
Narration by Sarah Puckett and Jason Clarke.Darling Arrow,I shouldn’t be writing this. It’s not as if I’m ever going to send you this letter, and there are a million reasons why.First of all, I was sent to this reform school as a punishment for a petty, totally inconsequential crime. Not to ogle the principal’s hot son around the campus.Second of all, you’re a giant jerk. You’re arrogant and moody and so cold. Sometimes, I think I shouldn’t even like you.But strangely, your coldness sets me on fire. The way your athletic body moves on the soccer field and the way your powerful thighs sprawl across that motorcycle of yours make me go inappropriately breathless. But that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that you, Arrow Carlisle, are not only the principal’s hot son. You also happen to be the love of my sister’s life.And I really shouldn’t be thinking about my sister’s boyfriend or rather fiancé (I overheard a conversation about the ring that I shouldn’t have).Now, if I can only stop writing you these meaningless letters that I’ll never send, and you’ll never read.Never yours,SalemNote: This book is a stand-alone, and it does not contain cheating. ungekürzt.

Prince Prelude: Legend , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 451min
Prince Prelude: Legend begins the Legend story. It tells you why and how Spellbound: Legend came to be. Seductive, powerful Lamia DuLaine is used to getting what she wants - and she wants Julian Talbot. From the moment she sees him in the hedonistic atmosphere of 1814 Brussels, she knows she must have the roguishly handsome lord, and nothing as inconsequential as an innocent chit of a fiancee will stand in her way. After all, Lamia has more than just beauty in her arsenal; a thousand years of living have given the DuLaine unparalleled expertise at manipulating humans, especially men. Julian's betrothed, Maxie Reigate, however, is more than just a simple, pretty miss; she has powers of her own - some of which even she doesn't yet know about. And Maxie also has an ally in her corner: the Fae Prince of the House of Dagda. But Prince Breslyn's role in this battle may be limited, for he has another human woman to worry about, one who has been badly used by the Fae queen's friend Gaisioch. Plus, Bres has promised his queen that in the matter of Julian, Maxie, and Lamia, he won't directly interfere... Spellbound: Legend is the next book in the series. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Tarnished Prophecy: Soul Dance, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min
Germany, 1940. Magic runs strong in Ilona, a gypsy seer. Powerful ability isn't valued in Romani women, so she focuses her fortunetelling on inconsequential details. Nothing that could come back to haunt her caravan if a prediction went bad. Rounded up and dumped in Dachau prison camp, she has plenty of time to rue her decision to downplay her ability. If she'd taken the time to scry her own future, she'd still be free. A wolf shifter, Jamal made the mistake of wedding a Romani woman centuries ago. His arrogance caused both death and heartache, and he's been alone ever since. The recent threat of vampires joining the Third Reich has provided ample reason for shifters and Rom to lay their ancient enmity aside and work together, but their détente is fragile. Jamal and a group of shifters come across Ilona after her escape from Dachau. Vulnerable, terrified, she's fully prepared to fight. Her courage and mettle touch places in him he'd thought were dead, but she's Romani. His last relationship ended so badly, the last thing he needs is to fall for another gypsy woman. He wrestles his tumbling emotions into submission, but when she trains her enigmatic, gray gaze on him, his resolve first weakens and then vanishes entirely. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Crashed: Driven, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 865min, (USK 18)
Life is full of moments. Big moments. Little moments. And none of them are inconsequential. Every single moment prepares you for that one instance that defines your life. You must overcome all your fears, confront the demons that chase you, and cleanse the poison that clings to your soul or you risk the chance of losing everything. Mine started the minute Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet. She made me feel. Made me whole when all I thought I could ever be was incomplete. Became the lifeline I never knew I needed. Hell yes, she's worth the fight - but how do you fight for someone you know you don't deserve? Colton has healed and completed me, stolen my heart, and made me realize our love's not predictable nor perfect-it's bent. And bent's okay. But when outside factors put our relationship to the test, what lengths will I have to go to prove to him that he's worth the fight? Whoever said love is patient and love is kind, never met the two of us. We know our love is worth it-have acknowledged that we were meant to be-but when our pasts crash into our future, will the repercussions make us stronger or break us apart? ungekürzt.

Babylon: The Rise and Fall of Ancient Mesopotamia's Greatest City , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 99min
The ancient world was full of many fantastic cities and places, and like today's major cities, the great ancient cities were hubs of trade, religion, and science. Writing was first invented in ancient cities, and many important scientific discoveries were also made in them, some of which are still used in the modern world. Among the many cities of the ancient world, Rome and Athens may come to mind first, but the city of Babylon in the land of Mesopotamia was already an ancient, venerated city when the others were still inconsequential settlements. Today, Babylon has become a byword for greed, excess, and licentiousness, mostly due to its mention in the Bible, but a closer examination reveals that Babylon was so much more, and even perhaps the most important city in the ancient world. Ancient Babylon was home to great dynasties that produced some of the world's most influential leaders, most notably Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar, and these rulers invoked their wills on the entire ancient Near East and have been remembered as both progressive and cruel all at the same time. Babylon was also the seat of culture in ancient Mesopotamia and the place where scholars made amazing scientific advances that would not be eclipsed for several centuries. An examination of ancient Babylon demonstrates that it was truly the first great city in the ancient world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.

Nobody Loves You: A Unique View on Rights, Religion, Politics, and Life in America from the Perspective of an Inconsequential Unimportant and Ultimately Meaningless Nobody , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 493min
Nobody Loves You is an audiobook with a unique perspective that isn't being talked about elsewhere in America: what we are and who we need to become to fix the litany of problems so easily seen by the modern-day American public. Nobody Loves You explores religion in a general sense, Nobody's religion in a more specific sense, and politics in a general sense, and it takes a good, hard look at the topics of rights, where your rights come from, how they work and should be working for you, and where we've gone wrong in the implementation and preservation of those rights. Nobody Loves You caps it all off with a series of real, workable solutions for everyone, no matter your political or religious persuasion. Nobody Loves You seeks to take a good, hard, objective view at not only the political right or left, but at the whole spectrum, celebrating truths and high points of all sides while simultaneously rooting out the lies and negative side of all political sides, using common sense, logic, and reason. If this audiobook sets out to achieve anything at all, it should be to help you know and understand that nobody loves you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nobody M Portant.
