Conspiracy: Keane, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
Wellington has handed Keane his least favourite job: he is to get himself captured by the French, escape from captivity once in France and make his way to Paris to work undercover there. There are rumours of unrest against Napoleon's regime, and Keane's task is to work out which, if any, the British should support. Nothing works out as planned. Keane, bereft of most of his loyal team, finds himself in an unknown, confusing political and social world. Even those contacts given to him by Wellington seem dubious, and amid the ex-Jacobites, disillusioned Americans, complex Irish and ambitious French republicans, whom can Keane trust in his own double agent role? And which of them will turn Keane over to the tumbrils? This vivid novel not only shows the complexity of life behind the lines in any war but gives a wonderful portrait of the seething society of Paris under Bonaparte's regime. ungekürzt.

The Walking People: A Native American Oral History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 197min
This story has its beginnings on a day long ago when Earth rolled and heaved, and rocks fell like rain. Thus began what some today would call a “migration” of The Walking People. Leaderless and bereft of the shared knowledge of tradition, they set off on their journey. Their story is the story of how one particular group of human beings was able to start anew - to learn through difficulty and changing circumstance to prosper as a Whole People. This story of survival through sweeping change has important messages for all those who value learning today. Paula Underwood (1932-2000) was the fifth generation of her family to hold responsibility for this ancient tradition. Paula said, "It is the history of my ancestors, who - in a direct line down uncounted generations - never forgot to remember." Her instructions were to record all she had learned in English to be given as a gift to all Earth's Children. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paula Underwood.

As all descends into darkness, the Old Gods sleep, but they have entrusted the survival of Vorallon to the gifted. The gifted are people blessed with unique abilities fueled by the strength of their spirits. Lorace is one of the gifted, a hollow shell of a man, scarred by demons and bereft of all memory. Lost on a desolate shore, the only clue to his destiny, and his past, is a sphere of dull silvery metal he holds. A mysterious call draws him north, toward the last bastion of light that exists upon Vorallon, the fortress city of Halversome-the next target of the Queen of Zuxra and the gifted people who do her bidding. ungekürzt.

The decomposed body of a much-loved eight-year-old, Annamay Hyatt, is found in a wooded creekside area. To an agonizing degree everyone concerned with Annamy feels responsible. To an even more agonizing degree, someone is. The effect of the child’s violent death runs through the community like a plague. It infects not only her parents and her cousin, Dru, the same age as Annamay, but everyone who lives or works in the area, from the aging man who gives young parties to the white-robed con man who comes to the creek and hears a banshee. Perhaps most bereft is Annamay’s grandfather who studies the ancient Japanese fish in the koi pond, appalled that they and he should still be alive while an eight-year-old is dead. Through a telescope he watches the retired madam who lives in her villa across the canyon, surrounded by keepers. The madam also hears the banshee. ungekürzt. Language: English.
