Length: 14 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-02-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Appearing for the first time in English, this masterful novel by one of the foremost figures of postwar German literature is an indelible portrait of Nazism slowly overtaking and poisoning a small town. Semi-autobiographical, it is also a remarkably vivid account of a childhood fraught with troubles, yet full of remembered love and touched by miracle.

In a provincial town on Lake Constance, Johann basks in the affection of the colorful staff and regulars at the Station Restaurant. Though his parents struggle to make ends meet, around him the world is rich in mystery: the attraction of girls; the power of words and his gift for music; his rivalry with his best friend, Adolf, son of the local Brownshirt leader; a circus that comes to town bringing Anita, whose love he and Adolf compete to win. But in these hard times, with businesses failing all around them and life savings gone in an instant, people whisper that only Hitler can save them. As the Nazis gradually infiltrate the churches, the school, the youth organizations - even the restaurant - and come to power, we see through Johann's eyes how the voices of dissent are silenced one by one, until war begins the body count that will include his beloved older brother.

Title: The Kraken

Author: K. T. Tomb

Narrator: Edoardo Camponeschi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-11-15

Publisher: K. T. Tomb

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

A sweeping historical adventure that's equal parts romance and thriller, K. T. Tomb's latest novel takes the listener from war-torn ancient Greece to deep sea dangers...and something far worse.

On the brink of the Roman Invasion of Greece, the city of Corinth, well established as a mighty seat of power in the Achaean League, is threatened with impending destruction. Widespread colonization of the mainland has severed crucial supply chains and the need to establish a fruitful colony of their own has emerged.

Aineias and his steersman, Pyrrhus, are the only sailors willing to take on the voyage, which will take them across the seas, through the Pillars of Hercules, and into the vastly unknown oceans beyond in search of Priteni, a beautiful and fertile island of fable.

With his crew of free man and a chain of Tracian slaves, Aineias sojourns to the end of his world and into the new in search of a land whose colonization could save the future of his beloved city. But as their journey progresses, evidence that the Romans are preparing for a major incursion on Achaea becomes more and more evident. The men soon realize that the only hope they have of saving Corinth before the Romans reach the isthmus of Megara is to chase after a legendary creature which has been destroying ships and killing sailors around the strait.

If they could capture it and bring it east with them, they could turn it loose on the expanding navies of Rome and put an end to their attack on Greece. They know their task is impossible, even the gods have told them so, but if Aineias and his men are to change the fate of their homeland, then they have no choice but to seek...the Kraken.

Title: Above All

Author: John W. Huffman

Narrator: Rich Miller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-18-15

Publisher: Lonestar Ventures, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

A finalist in the Action/Adenture Fiction category of the 2011 Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

Above All, the third of the John Jospeh Sharpe trilogy series following America's Diplomats and Eyes of the Blind, is a lighthearted action-adventure historical fiction set in the waning stages of the Vietnam War. The story which pits a consummate warrior against the political strangulation that rendered our armed forces virtually incompetent. It is a comical but sordid tale of a roguish gunship pilot and his nemesis, a petty commanding officer, who loathe each other at first sight. As fierce adversaries, they encompass the chaos of that era. They're accompanied by a coven of nurses and a clandestine army of misfits who portray the best and worst of our country during that painful event. Their saga is one of love and lust, hope and despair, valor and cowardice, awash in a deluge of demoralizing apathy as they face the bitter ending of the conflict.
