There is no list that will tell you what's in the works. For the specific title you mention (& most books) there are a lot of things in play. Do the audio rights rest with the publisher or were they retained by the author? Either way first either the publishers audio division (if they have one) or another audio publisher like Books on Tape, Recorded books, Tantor, Brilliance, Audible Studios, etc. have to acquire the rights and then decide to produce the audio book Audible won't generally know about it until the audiobook is being solicited by the publisher. Once the book is produced it would be made available for sale at Audible and other retailers (Audible generally gets most audiobooks as do other download sellers), but it's up to the company that produced it as to if it will be eligible for Whispersync for Voice (at least that's what authors I've talked to have said). Of course even if it becomes a Whispersync title it might not be cheap. Some WS titles are heavily discounted while others aren't (& prices can fluctuate) so even if it's a WS title it might or might not work out to be the cheapest way to get the audiobook.
Generally older titles like that are even harder to guess on as to if/when they'll become audiobooks. The one thing that title currently has going for it is the WWI anniversary, but newly produced books generally have priority.
