His companions want desperately to leave, but Will is tied to the city - his lover, the beautiful Isabella, is growing ever sicker.

Once more full of swaggering charm, breathless action and rapier-sharp dialogue, this is the second in Benet Brandreth's highly acclaimed series reimagining the lost years of William Shakespeare. ungekürzt.

Still Watching Men Burn: Fighting The PTSD War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 428min
British soldier Tony McNally had a vital job in the Falklands - as a Rapier missile operator, his job was to protect the British ships and men from air attack by the fearless and desperate Argentinian pilots. His war went well when he shot down two Argentine jets - until June 8, 1982 when McNally and his Rapier system were dug in on the hillside overlooking Port Pleasant near Fitzroy, wrongly referred to as ‘Bluff Cove’, providing Air Defence cover for the RFA Sir Galahad and Sir Tristram LSL’s , as they sat waiting to off-load hundreds of soldiers. Suddenly,Argentine A4 Skyhawks screamed into the bay loaded with 500Ib bombs... and McNally's system failed. He and his detachment watched, helpless, as bombs rained down on the defenceless ships. Fifty men of the Welsh Guards lost their lives and many others - famously including Simon Weston - were horribly burned. McNally's life changed in that moment. He left the army after the war and - though he re-enlisted and even volunteered for Northern Ireland - he was riddled by guilt and plagued by nightmares and flashbacks of that awful day. Still Watching Men Burn is updated from Watching Men Burn and covers his journey back to the Falklands Islands Pilgrimage in 2007 and his ongoing personal battle with mental health up to 2016. ungekürzt.

Don Rodriguez: Chronicles of Shadow Valley: A Tale of a Spain That Never Was (The Illustrated Original Masters of Modern Dark Fantasy, Book 9) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 563min
Lord Dunsany was the progenitor of modern fantasy fiction. From Tolkein to Gaiman, from Le Guin to Moorcock, his words inspired an entire genre of modern dark fantasy. A fun adventure in a Spain that never was, in the vein of Dumas and Stevenson, with more than a taste of Cervantes. Don Rodriguez is a young nobleman who is banished from the family castle and must set out with his rapier and mandolin to win his own estate and perhaps even a bride. Along with his trusty servant, Morano, he journeys far into the heart of the mythical Shadow Valley. Echoes of The Princess Bride resonate throughout. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Poetry that was written about life. The first book in a series of Poetry of a Musketeer. Authored by Adam Smith an Israeli poet-writer and retired fencer. The book has one hundred poems about everything that might catch an eye or stream of thoughts of a musketeer. Any warrior has his spirit, mind, and heart aligned together. Writing with a pen is similar to fencing; it is a continuation of a greater self that is connected to the great flow. Rapier is a weapon of musketeer; quill is a weapon of an artist.

Now Dirk Pitt and his NUMA team must go on a desperate international chase to retrieve it. But as they close in, they discover that they're facing a much, much greater threat than they ever imagined.

Barbs from the Bard: Shakespearean Insults With Modern Translations and Notes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
Ever miss a prime opportunity for a snappy comeback or a perfect putdown? We all have, kicking ourselves later when we think of what we could have said.

This audiobook is a collection of some of the most cutting jeers and outrageous affronts ever spoken and as such can be a fine resource for just those moments you don't want to let slip by without comment. It also provides the ultimate opportunity to access Shakespeare's world of words in an immediate and visceral. ungekürzt. Language: English.
