3. Penguin Random House Game of Thrones - The great audiobook box set
Winter is coming. Bitter battles, bloody feuds, and finely spun intrigues weave through the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Who will ultimately claim the Iron Throne, and who will fall victim to the machinations at court?
Language virtuoso and audiobook award winner Stefan Kaminski brings George R.R. Martin's world to life with a powerful voice and great attention to detail, creating an auditory pleasure that is unparalleled. He whispers intrigues, bellows commands, resonates, and murmurs, all while keeping the characters in focus. Skillfully, he portrays the inhabitants of Westeros, from the jovial Robert Baratheon to the quick-witted Tyrion Lannister, and even the cawing ravens. Kaminski draws upon his entire repertoire of voice acting to single-handedly perform the whole ensemble of daring heroes, assertive queens, and dubious villains.
Through careful text adaptation, where the English names of the characters are heard, Westeros unfolds once again, vibrant and alive, before the listeners.
The large-format, lavishly equipped, and intricately illustrated audiobook box includes a poster-sized map, extensive supplementary material, and interactive elements for immersing oneself in the world of Westeros. All 10 volumes of the successful saga "A Song of Ice and Fire," the basis for the HBO series "Game of Thrones," are presented unabridged in this audiobook box—undoubtedly the listening experience of the year!.
4. Penguin Random House No turning back
The police consult private investigator Holly Gibney. An anonymous letter has announced a series of murders. The first victim is an innocent woman, holding a note in her hand. The name on it refers to a juror who was involved in the conviction of an innocent person, who was later stabbed to death in prison. The deranged killer is committing acts of vengeance by targeting substitute victims instead of the juror. "Those responsible for the innocent person's death must suffer," it stated. The random killings continue. While Holly feverishly pieces together the puzzle, she is also busy fending off attacks on a feminist for whom she is providing protection. Everything is converging towards a single, major catastrophe. Unabridged reading with David Nathan, 3 MP3 CDs, approximately 17 hours and 30 minutes.

6. Penguin Random House Escape from camp 14
A shocking report from the hell of a prisoner camp in North Korea. In North Korea, there are labor camps of indescribable brutality, yet they are hardly known.

After surviving 23 years in this hell, he manages to escape against all odds. Shin's account, complemented by numerous moving photographs, is a poignant testimony of an extraordinary fate and an inhumane camp system.

8. Penguin Random House Glennkill
One morning, the shepherd George Glenn is found dead in the grass, nailed to the ground by a spade. Who could have killed the old shepherd? Miss Maple, the cleverest sheep in the flock and perhaps even in the world, begins to take an interest in the case. Fortunately, George had read crime novels to the sheep, so she is not entirely unprepared for the investigative challenge. With sheep logic, they follow the trail of the culprit – when they’re not grazing or terrified to death. Between the pasture and the village church, the steep cliff and the shepherd's wagon, unexpected adventures await Miss Maple and her flock – until they finally manage to shed light on the mystery and solve the puzzling death of their shepherd.
Leonie Swann was awarded the Friedrich-Glauser-Prize in 2006 for "Glennkill," known as the "Crime Oscar," in the "Debut" category.

9. Penguin Random House In the river
Like Argus, Urban "Hundertauge" Priol follows the constant flow of political events, from the stagnant waters of the grand coalition to the rippling stream of the Scholz government.Priol's current programme "Im Fluss" (In the River) is like a river in constant change: always on the pulse of time, spontaneous and topical, Priol often mocks faster than his shadow can think. He rumbles, thunders, flashes and thus, like a cleansing thunderstorm, makes many things shine in a bright, cheerful light. The master of parody ploughs shorelessly through world events, brings complex interrelationships to the point and transforms opaque maelstroms into pure spring water. With joy he plunges into the floods of daily madness, dives into the abyss of the absurd, blasphemes with relish and has just as much fun as his audience. "In the River." is like a rafting trip that takes you at breakneck speed over ledges and past boulders through wildly foaming rapids. Come along! Follow the motto of another great Greek philosopher, Costa Cordalis: "Get in the boat tonight!" You won't regret it.
10. Penguin Random House Mindful murder in the here and now
When your therapist's past stands in the way of your future, it's time to live in the here and now.
Björn Diemel wants to talk: both about his daughter's school enrollment and the tantra seminar he accidentally attended with his ex-wife. Unfortunately, an unknown assailant has severely beaten Björn's mindfulness coach, Joschka Breitner, in an attempt to seize his diary. Björn quickly takes his therapist's notes and sets out to find the culprit. When he discovers that Joschka Breitner was a follower of Bhagwan in the early 1980s, the diary becomes a ticket to a journey into the origins of mindfulness. The path leads to India and the USA, to joy of life and life-threatening danger, to timeless enlightening wisdom and the ordinary abysses of the human soul.
Slightly abridged reading with Karsten Dusse, 6 CDs, approx. 6h 20min.
