Spoiler:

An account with them requires billing info. To avoid that, I clicked on the book at the bottom of this page. It took me to a Gmail account I didn't want to use. So I copied the following lines into a different email account. I received a reply a few minutes later and was able to download all three titles.

The Spider #69: Rule of the Monster Men

Transformed by an Underworld sadist into a city of man-made, outlaw cripples, New York faces the gravest criminal threat of all time. Can the Spider, already robbed of his most loyal assistant, successfully meet this new menace?

By 1939, Richard Wentworth had been operating as the Spider for nearly six harrowing years. He had been through everything a good pulp hero could expect to face. Malevolent master villains. Sinister Asian world conquerors. Mad scientists more diabolical than anything conceived before that point. And of course since the Spider was a wanted criminal, endless police officials, uniformed cops, homicide detectives and other officers of the law had been pursuing him with single-minded fervor.

A mere mortal would have succumbed back in 1933. Not the indomitable Richard Wentworth. He seemed to thrive on conditions of continuous peril. Yes, he did put down his mask and guns a time or two, vowing never to become the dreaded Spider again. But the call to battle always made his blood sing, and inevitably the Master of Men returned to battle the underworld in another blazing exploit.

Set against the backdrop of the 1939 New York World’s Fair, the Spider tackles the Wreck, a human fiend straight out of Terror Tales, who surgically transforms ordinary New Yorkers into subhuman beasts. That’s just the start of it!

We don’t want to give away the twists and turns that make up the deadly duel between the Master of Men and the malevolent Wreck in Rule of the Monster Men, except to warn don’t expect everybody to come out of this one unscathed.....

Nick Santa Maria once again brings the Spider to life in this incredible audiobook taken from the June, 1939 issue of The Spider magazine.

Does anyone know if a list exists somewhere on Amazon, or elsewhere, of ebooks that have newly gotten Whispersync narrations to them?

I'm not sure that I expressed that clearly enough, let me elaborate. Many (most) Kindle ebooks do not have Whispersync deals available--possibly because there are no audios for the ebooks available. However, I'm sure that from time to time narrations to ebooks are created, then Whispersync deals for them are possible (maybe, likely). Is there a list on a webpage somewhere which announces new narrations that have come out to ebooks and, ideally, only those that have resulted in Whispersync deals becoming newly available for ebooks that have not had them?

I'm asking this question primarily because I have many ebooks in my Kindle library for which there weren't in the past, at least, narrations for. I would like to check from time to time to see if they have become available.

Gr8! Just what I wanted. I can set a bookmark to check the webpage every 30 days. Nothing gets past you.

I'm sure that Amazon could find a way to link to those webpages from any, or almost any, device that we could view our library on. Maybe they'll add that, too.

A few Whispersync deal posts of mine back, I lamented the fact that good Whispersync deals seemed to be getting harder and harder to find (since then I've wondered if it just might be that I'm getting more and more miserly. ha). This one is a good one.

The price of $4.48 is great. The bang-for-the-buck is especially great--folks, there's almost 29 hours of listening for that $4.48! And don't forget that you get the ebook (719 pages) thrown in the deal free!

Some people might take issue with the book description's--to put it kindly, sanguine--assertion that the book "is the definitive [emphasis mine, G] account of this dramatic victory". However, I do notice that it is the #1 seller in three categories in the regular Amazon bookstore or Kindle bookstore.

Book Description (Amazon):
On December 16, 1944, the vanguard of three German armies, totalling half a million men, attacked U.S. forces in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg, achieving what had been considered impossible — total surprise.

In the most abysmal failure of battlefield intelligence in the history of the U.S. Army, 600,000 American soldiers found themselves facing Hitler’s last desperate effort of the war.

The brutal confrontation that ensued became known as the Battle of the Bulge, the greatest battle ever fought by the U.S. Army — a triumph of American ingenuity and dedication over an egregious failure in strategic intelligence.

A Time for Trumpets is the definitive account of this dramatic victory, told by one of America’s most respected military historians, who was also an eyewitness to the conflict: MacDonald commanded a rifle company in the Battle of the Bulge.

His account of this unique battle is exhaustively researched, honestly recounted, and movingly authentic in its depiction of hand-to-hand combat.

Mingling first-hand experience with the insights of a distinguished historian, MacDonald places this profound human drama unforgettably on the landscape of history.

A Time for Trumpets is a thorough account of an immensely influential battle.

Even better if you're Prime, as the book is free for Prime members, so $3.49 total.

Joe Hill's The Fireman is $2.99 at Amazon. If you buy it the Audible version is $3.95. Book's very reminiscent of Stephen King's The Stand (Hill is King's son and looks just like him).
