Title: The Vanished Ones Author: Chad Lucas Narrator: Ruffin Prentiss Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 21 minutes Release date: January 28, 2025 Genres: Action & Adventure Publisher's Summary: From award-winning author Chad Lucas comes an enthralling new story about a strange island where boys go missing—and the two boys intent on uncovering the truth about it On Rhodenroode Island, a remote colony of the Homeland, there sits a Mission on the Hill, where boys are taken in and taught the ways of the faith. Darian is the only trainee of his race there, and he doesn’t remember how he came to the Mission. All he remembers are brown hands and the belly of a ship. Life among the other boys and the cantankerous Brothers is not always easy, but Darian is determined to live up to the lofty calling the leaders of the Mission have laid out for him: that one day he will carry the Sacred Word to places it has yet to reach. But when another trainee at the Mission disappears—the latest in a string of vanishings—Darian is determined to solve the mystery that begins to shake his faith in what he’s always been taught. When he and his friend Micah sneak away from the Mission and head east to see what they can learn about the rebel sect supposedly responsible for the vanishings, they discover that the island holds far more secrets than they ever could have imagined—and somehow, they must save the other boys at the Mission from a danger that’s even greater than they realized. 'Lucas builds an engaging mystery with a dash of Afrofuturism, giving a thoughtful reflection on colonialism and its effects on society.'—Booklist

Title: The Woods All Black Author: Lee Mandelo Narrator: Charli Burrow Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 35 minutes Release date: January 28, 2025 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Leslie Bruin is assigned to the backwoods township of Spar Creek by the Frontier Nursing Service, under its usual mandate: vaccinate the flock, birth babies, and weather the judgements of churchy locals who look at him and see a failed woman. Forged in the fires of the Western Front and reborn in the cafes of Paris, Leslie believes he can handle whatever is thrown at him—but Spar Creek holds a darkness beyond his nightmares. Something ugly festers within the local congregation, and its malice has focused on a young person they insist is an unruly tomboy who must be brought to heel. Violence is bubbling when Leslie arrives, ready to spill over, and he'll have to act fast if he intends to be of use. But the hills enfolding Spar Creek have a mind of their own, and the woods are haunted in ways Leslie does not understand. The Woods All Black is a story of passion, prejudice, and power—an Appalachian period piece that explores reproductive justice and bodily autonomy, the terrors of small-town religiosity, and the necessity of fighting tooth and claw to live as who you truly are. Contains mature themes.

Title: Shadow of the Titanic Author: Andrew Wilson Narrator: Adrian Hobart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 48 minutes Release date: November 7, 2024 Genres: Europe Publisher's Summary: In the early hours of 15 April 1912, after the majestic liner Titanic had split apart and the 1,500 men, women and children struggled to stay alive in the freezing Atlantic, the sea was alive with the sound of screaming. Then, as the ship sank to the ocean floor and the passengers slowly died from hypothermia, a deathly silence settled over the sea. Yet the echoes of that night reverberated through the lives of each of the 705 survivors. Shadow of the Titanic tells the extraordinary stories of some of those who survived. Although we think we know the story of the Titanic - the famously unsinkable ship that hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Britain to America in April 1912 - little has been written about what happened to the survivors after the tragedy. How did the loss of the ship shape the lives of the people who survived? How did those who were saved feel about those who perished? And how did they remember that terrible night, in effect a disaster that has been likened to the destruction of a small town?

Title: [German] - Die Entscheidung - Deutschland 1929 bis 1934 (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Jens Bisky Narrator: Omid-Paul Eftekhari Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 3 minutes Release date: November 2, 2024 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: Eine Darstellung der untergehenden Weimarer Republik, wie es sie seit langem nicht gegeben hat. In einem packenden Panorama schildert Jens Bisky, gedankensprühend und geschichtensatt, die Jahre, in denen sich das Schicksal Deutschlands entschied. Als im Oktober 1929 Gustav Stresemann, der erfolgreiche Außenminister, starb, fragten sich die Zeitgenossen, wie es nun mit der Republik weitergeht. Gerade formierte sich eine faschistische Koalition, die 1933 dann an die Macht kam; Bauern warfen Bomben, die öffentlichen Haushalte litten unter wachsenden Defiziten, bald schien das parlamentarische System gelähmt. Demokratische Republik oder faschistischer Staat - so lautete ab dem Sommer 1930 die Alternative. Was folgte - der Aufstieg radikaler Kräfte, die Pulverisierung der bürgerlichen Milieus, der Aufruhr der Mittelschichten, die Selbstüberschätzung der Konservativen und Nationalisten, die sich einbildeten, Hitler zähmen zu können, Verelendung und Bürgerkriegsfurcht -, mündete in die verbrecherischste Diktatur des 20. Jahrhunderts. Jens Bisky erzählt, wie die Weimarer Republik in einem Wirbel aus Not und Erbitterung zerstört wurde. Es kommen Politiker und Journalisten der Zeit zu Wort, erschöpfte Sozialdemokraten, ratlose Liberale, nationalistische Desperados, Literaten, Juristen, Offiziere. Wie nahmen sie die Situation wahr? Welche Möglichkeiten hatten sie? - Das große Panorama einer extremen Zeit, die noch immer ihre Schatten auf die Gegenwart wirft. Gelesen von Omid Paul-Efthekari.

Title: The Nazis Next Door: How America Became a Safe Haven for Hitler’s Men Author: Eric Lichtblau Narrator: David De Vries Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 58 minutes Release date: October 29, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Read the history behind the series THE HUNTERS (starring Al Pacino) in this “captivating book rooted in first-rate research” (New York Times Book Review) that tells the true story of how America became home to thousands of Nazi war criminals. For the first time, once-secret government records and interviews tell the full story of the thousands of Nazis—from concentration camp guards to high-level officers in the Third Reich—who came to the United States after World War II and quietly settled into new lives. Many gained entry on their own as self-styled war “refugees.” But some had help from the U.S. government. The CIA, the FBI, and the military all put Hitler’s minions to work as spies, intelligence assets, and leading scientists and engineers, whitewashing their histories. Only years after their arrival did private sleuths and government prosecutors begin trying to identify the hidden Nazis. Now, relying on a trove of newly disclosed documents and scores of interviews, Eric Lichtblau reveals this shocking, shameful, and little-known chapter of postwar history. New York Times bestseller — Espionage category “Disturbing.” — Salon “Engaging.” — Chicago Tribune “A gripping chronicle.” — Times of Israel “Riveting . . . An important, fascinating read.” — Jewish Book Council

Title: Puget's Sound: A Narrative of Early Tacoma and the Southern Sound Author: Murray Morgan Narrator: Bob Souer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 34 minutes Release date: October 29, 2024 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: With the same ability to make personalities and events come alive that characterizes his classic Skid Road, Murray Morgan here tells the colorful story of Tacoma, 'the City of Destiny,' and southern Puget Sound, where many major events of Washington's history took place. Drawing upon original journals and reports, Morgan builds Puget's Sound around individuals, interweaving portraits of well-known historical figures with a raucous parade of saloonkeepers, politicians, union organizers, schemers, and swindlers. His account begins with the landing of Captain Vancouver in Puget Sound in 1792 and ends with the founding of Fort Lewis in 1916. Between are the arrival of the transcontinental railroad, the boom-and-bust of lumber mills, the anti-Chinese riots of 1885, and more distinctive Northwest history that will intrigue both new arrivals and longtime residents. With a new introduction by historian and historic preservationist Michael Sean Sullivan, this redesigned edition of Puget's Sound brings new life to Morgan's landmark history.
