Worse: It was itchy, dark fur erupting from every inch of skin. He didn’t know why he was surprised; it was a full moon, after all. He’d even headed to the forest to ride it out. But it felt like it came out of left field every damn time.It seemed strange that even after all this time, shifting was as painful as it was. How many decades had he suffered this? You’d think he’d get used to it after a while. And yet, it always seemed so brutal.It’s not a burden, he reminded himself, like a mantra. He sank against a tree as the moon rose in the sky over Carson National Park. I’m fortunate to have this...His mind clouded, cutting off his thoughts, his instincts becoming his only form of memory. He was no longer man-only a beast with mortal qualities... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Devin Crowe, for HotGhost Productions.

The Yankee Must Die: Huaka'i Po: The Nightmarchers, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 266min
August of 1883, the volcano Krakatoa erupted with terrifying violence and caused a catastrophe few survived - lucky Tom Turner was one of those few. A Civil War veteran, intelligencer, and former first mate aboard Robur the Conqueror's magnificent airship, the Albatross, Turner was a reluctant Devil. Having escaped the destruction of Krakatoa should have been enough adventure. But not for Turner. Now he'll have to confront the consequences of his past and those who want the secrets he alone holds. Murderous pirates, ruthless French scientists, erupting Hawaiian volcanoes, and the deadly Huaka'i po (the Nightmarchers) all stand between Turner and home. No man can be that lucky? The Volcano Lady, Volumes I and II, told only part of Tom Turner's story. Now The Yankee Must Die - Gaslight Adventures of Tom Turner (in three novellas) reveals the rest of his adventures. Can he escape his past or will he die at the hands of bio-mechanical assassins? Turner dreams of the day he might be reunited with the only woman to captivate his heart - Victorian volcanologist Lettie Gantry - if only he can survive again and again, against all chances. But this is lucky Tom Turner. This is T.E. MacArthur's latest installment from the Volcano Lady universe: an exciting blend of historical fact and steam-powered fiction - plus a healthy dose of Jules Verne himself. ungekürzt.

Strike Force Widow Makers: The True Story of Firebase Ripcord , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 190min
July 23, 1970, 11:45 hours Mortar rounds rained down on us continuously, starting at sunrise. We hadn’t slept the previous night because the business of life and death were upon us. Now those mortar rounds were erupting like little volcanoes. But instead of hot lava rocks, they were hot pieces of shrapnel that whizzed by us in every direction. RPG’s, 75mm recoilless rounds joined in the endless phalanx. Rounds from the NVA’s 51 caliber heavy machine guns and small arms fire from AK-47s were as constant as a swarm of bees flying past our heads, and eating up the hill around us. It was if the Gates of Hell had opened to advertise that we were now open for business. Sappers and a large number of enemy troops had penetrated our perimeter and had overrun the CP like a colony of angry, red army ants. Colonel Lucas was killed instantly. The last of our platoon fought valiantly, firing continuously in a rearward action, leapfrogging toward the LZ to get on one of the last choppers off of Ripcord. We fought hard making our way through the thick haze of cordite smoke that was tearing up my eyes and burning my throat. Then word came down that we were giving up the firebase. ungekürzt.
