Bruce Springsteen, Urgestein der amerikanischen Rockmusik und einer der erfolgreichsten Musiker überhaupt, stellte sich im Oktober 2017 am Broadway auf die Bühne, um seine Geschichte zu erzählen. Eine einzigartige, intime Performance, in der Springsteen seine persönlichen Erzählungen mit seinen unvergesslichen Songs vermischt - interessant, emotional, witzig und genauso hemdsärmelig, wie man das von ihm gewöhnt ist. Die Live-Performance gibt es jetzt nicht nur zum Angucken, sondern auch zum Anhören: Hier ist der komplette Auftritt zum Hören, Mitsingen und ganz dicht an "The Boss" dran sein.

"[Narrator Robert Bathurst] engages us completely...If you haven't listened to this series, start at once. You'll love your stay in Three Pines." (AudioFile Magazine on A Great Reckoning)
Kingdom of the Blind, the new Chief Inspector Gamache audiobook from the number one New York Times best-selling author.
When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse, the former head of the Sûreté du Québec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will. Still on suspension, and frankly curious, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers, the bookseller from Three Pines, and a young builder.
None of them had ever met the elderly woman.
The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional. But what if, Gamache begins to ask himself, she was perfectly sane?
When a body is found, the terms of the bizarre will suddenly seem less peculiar and far more menacing.
But it isn’t the only menace Gamache is facing.
The investigation into what happened six months ago - the events that led to his suspension - has dragged on, into the dead of winter. And while most of the opioids he allowed to slip though his hands, in order to bring down the cartels, have been retrieved, there is one devastating exception.
Enough narcotic to kill thousands has disappeared into inner city Montreal. With the deadly drug about to hit the streets, Gamache races for answers.
As he uses increasingly audacious, even desperate, measures to retrieve the drug, Armand Gamache begins to see his own blind spots. And the terrible things hiding there.

Nichts mehr zu diskutieren gibt es über die Qualität und Figurenstärke der Thriller um den franko-kanadischen Chief Inspector Gamache. Sein 14. Fall spielt wieder im wohlvertrauten Three Pines. Von einer ihm völlig unbekannten alten Damen zum Testamentsvollstrecker, bringt der Nachlass sehr Merkwürdiges zu Tage. Fans der Reihe hatten inzwischen ein bisschen Zeit, sich an den neuen Sprecher, Robert Bathurst zu gewöhnen, der die kanadischen Sprachvarianten nicht so gut rüberbringt, sich dafür aber anhört wie ein Mitglied aus "Downton Abbey". Geschmackssache, aber der Fall ist es wert.
Nora Roberts, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the epic Year One returns with Of Blood and Bone, a new tale of terror and magic in a brand new world.
They look like an everyday family living an ordinary life. But beyond the edges of this peaceful farm, unimaginable forces of light and dark have been unleashed.
Fallon Swift, approaching her thirteenth birthday, barely knows the world that existed before - the city where her parents lived, now in ruins and reclaimed by nature since the Doom sickened and killed billions. Traveling anywhere is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. Those like Fallon, in possession of gifts, are hunted - and the time is coming when her true nature, her identity as The One, can no longer be hidden.
In a mysterious shelter in the forest, her training is about to begin under the guidance of Mallick, whose skills have been honed over centuries. She will learn the old ways of healing; study and spar; encounter faeries and elves and shifters; and find powers within herself she never imagined. And when the time is right, she will take up the sword, and fight. For until she grows into the woman she was born to be, the world outside will never be whole again.

Twitter explodierte im September weil Tomi Adeyemi, Autorin von Children of Blood and Bone, sich öffentlich beschwerte, Nora Roberts habe für den 2. Teil ihrer post-apokalyptischen Fantasy-Reihe aus Marketinggründen einen ähnlichen Titel gewählt. Das hat Roberts, eine der erfolgreichsten Romance-Schriftstellerinnen der Welt, aber wirklich nicht nötig. Im "Blood and Bone" lässt sich die magisch begabte, von den "Normalen" gejagte Fallon heimlich in ihren Kräften ausbilden. Julia Whelan liest wie immer mitreißend.
It’s rumoured that Dickens wanted to return to his classic novel Oliver Twist, to bring him back into a later book as an older character, but he never managed this before he died. However, if Oliver had returned, what would he have been like? Would the scars of his childhood affect the man he would become? And what of ‘Dodger’, sent to a land halfway around the world, his friend, mentor and master dead because of Oliver?
Dodge & Twist is that story. The tale of two boys, 12 years later, returning into each other’s lives - for both good and bad.

Gerüchten zufolge hatte Charles Dickens vor, mit einem weiteren Roman zu seinen Figuren aus "Oliver Twist" zurück zu kehren, tat dies aber nie. Das übernimmt jetzt dieses Audible Original Hörspiel: Dodge & Twist greift 12 Jahre nach den Ereignissen aus dem Ursprungsroman die Geschichte von zwei Figuren wieder auf: Oliver Twist selbst und und Jack Dawkins, genannt "The Artful Dodger", ein Junge aus der Diebesbande, in die Oliver hineingeriet. Wie haben die Geschehnisse die beiden beeinflusst, welche Männer sind aus ihnen geworden, was geschieht bei einem erneuten Zusammentreffen der zwei? Ein unterhaltsames und spekulatives Hör-Abenteuer im Geiste von Charles Dickens.
When H. G. Wells first published The War of The Worlds in 1898, the novel quickly became a sci-fi classic. The story of extraterrestrials from Mars invading Earth captured the public’s imagination, inspiring a famed 1938 radio broadcast with Orson Welles, several feature films, countless video games, and a best-selling musical concept album by Jeff Wayne in 1978, among others.
Immersing listeners in a world that is as thrilling as it is desolate, Jeff Wayne’s eerie and pulsating score brings the suspense, drama, and urgency of Wells’s original novel to a fever pitch in this Audible Original Drama. Michael Sheen headlines an ensemble cast of talented performers that also includes Taron Egerton, Adrian Edmondson, Theo James, and Anna-Marie Wayne.

Bereits 1898 erschien H.G. Well's Alien-Invasionsroman The War of the Worlds und versetzte 1938 als allzu wirklichkeitsgetreues Radio-Hörspiel von Orson Welles die amerikanischen Hörer in Panik. Zusammen mit Jeff Waynes, der später eine Musical-Version verfasste, hat Audible jetzt eine Neuauflage produziert: ein Hörspiel mit der Instrumentalmusik des Musicals, mit neuen Sprechern und neuen Soundeffekten. Als Erzähler erweist sich Michael Sheen als ebenbürtig mit Richard Burton von damals, und mit dabei ist auch Taron Egerton ("Kingsman"). Das Update funktioniert: mehr Action, mehr Spannung, mehr Emotion, ohne dem Original untreu zu werden.
Random House presents the audiobook edition of The First Lady by James Patterson, read by Deborah McBride.
A President's affair to remember soon becomes a nightmare he wishes he could forget in James Patterson's gripping new stand-alone thriller.
As he steps out of his hotel in Atlanta with the love of his life, the last thing President Tucker expects is to be greeted by the flashing cameras of the media. Or for his affair to be revealed to the world.
The President must act to stop the scandal from spiralling out of control, just weeks before the vote for a second term. But not before he figures out how to keep the First Lady on his side.
Grace Tucker, however, has other plans.
Betrayed and deeply hurt, she heads for a safe haven outside the capital. But when her security detail loses all trace of her, all hell breaks loose.
The First Lady is missing. Did she run away? Or is she in more danger than they could have imagined...
Nachdem in James Patterson's letztem Thriller (mit Bill Clinton zusammen geschrieben) der President verschwand, ist diesmal die First Lady dran: Als der Präsident nach Aufdeckung einer Affäre im Shitstorm der Medien um eine zweite Amtszeit kämpft, verschwindet die gedemütigte Präsidentengattin, der Skandale ihres Mannes müde geworden spurlos. Aber dann tauchen ein Erpresserschreiben und ein abgeschnittener Finger auf... Die Wirklichkeit in den USA liefert mal wieder genug Inspiration für eine gute Geschichte, aus der Vielschreiber Patterson einen soliden Thriller entwickelt - mit weiblichem Fokus und einer weiblichen Sprecherin.

Penguin presents the audio edition of Tom Clancy's Oath of Office by Marc Cameron.
On a crowded tourist beach in Portugal, US operatives use a high-tech drone to watch a French arms dealer flirt with a beautiful woman. It's only when she leaves that they realise she has shot him dead.
In Iran, protests are growing against the oppressive regime, whipped up by a charismatic student. Most external observers are excited, but on the ground a spy of questionable loyalty senses something is badly amiss.
And meanwhile, with the United States reeling from a string of natural disasters, Russian troops and ships are massing on the borders of the Ukraine, bringing the two powers ever closer to war.
Across the globe a conspiracy is brewing, so darkly brilliant that no-one has yet joined the dots. And the distracted President Ryan has little time to play catch-up: little does he know that he faces a madman with a plan more devastating than he could possibly imagine...

Tom Clancy verstarb 2013, aber er hat mit Jack Ryan eine offenbar unsterbliche Figur erschaffen: Bereits mehrere Autoren haben den Faden aufgegriffen und neue Abenteuer um den CIA-Experten erschaffen, u.a. Thriller-Autor Marc Cameron. Diesmal braut sich eine internationale Krise zusammen, ausgelöst durch Ereignisse in Portugal, im Iran und an der ukrainischen Grenze. Die Zeichen zwischen den USA und Russland stehen auf Krieg. Spannende, militärische Geheimdienst-Action für alle, die es Weihnachten etwas weniger friedvoll bevorzugen.

Teil 3 der Jackman & Evans Thriller-Reihe. Die beiden Ermittler müssen diesmal gleich drei Fälle klären, in deren Zentrum ein Freund und Kollege steht. Bei einem Flugzeugabsturz verlor dieser vier Freunde und versucht, von Schuldgefühlen getrieben, deren unerledigte Angelegenheiten zu Ende zu bringen.

Acclaimed actress Claire Danes burnishes an epic story of heroes, gods, and monsters in a groundbreaking translation of The Odyssey, the first great adventure story in the Western literary tradition. When the wily warrior-king Odysseus sets off for home after the Trojan War, he doesn’t realize this simple undertaking will become a perilous journey of 10 years. Beset at every turn, he encounters obstacles, detours, and temptations—both supernatural and human—while his wife Penelope fends off would-be suitors desperate to take the throne.
Emily Wilson is the first woman to take on the daunting task of translating over 100,000 lines of a three-millennium-old poem from Ancient Greek to modern-day English. Her breathtaking rendition captures the poetic immediacy of the original text, while allowing listeners to experience The Odyssey with an honesty and directness few other versions have achieved. The result is a lean, fleet-footed translation that recaptures Homer’s “nimble gallop” and brings an ancient epic to new life. A fascinating introduction provides an informative overview of the Bronze Age milieu that produced the epic, the major themes of the poem, the controversies about its origins, and the unparalleled scope of its impact and influence.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Amerikanisches Englisch
Griechische Mythologie ist ja wieder “in”, vor allem als fiktionalisierte Nacherzählung. Gut, wenn man das Original kennt. Diese Version der Odysseus-Sage ist eine neue, moderne Wort-für-Wort-Übersetzung des Originaltextes, das erste Mal durch eine Frau. Auch die Vorleserstimme ist weiblich: Claire Danes, Hauptdarstellerin der TV-Serie “Homeland”, beweist nicht zum ersten Mal ihr ihr evokatives Gespür für schwierige Texte. So wird eine uralte Sage wieder springlebendig und zu epischem Hörgenuss.
