    The Girls from Alcyone , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 636min
    Excerpt: Sigrid stood in the center of what had once been the academy grounds on Alcyone. Now, all that remained were the burned and collapsed remnants of the school and dormitories. Smoke still wisped up from the blackened piles of lumber and debris. The stench was raw and acrid, threatening to overwhelm her sensors. "There's no way Independents did this," Christian said. "It looks like a whole battalion landed here." Frantic, Sigrid scanned the area again, searching desperately for signs of the girls, but nothing turned up in her sensory modes. She tried calling out with her comlink. If they were in range, they'd pick up the signal. But there was still nothing. Not even the orbital satellites showed any sign of the girls, or survivors for that matter. Whoever had done this had been brutal and thorough. Sigrid knew she would kill them. Synopsis: Sigrid and Suko are two girls from the impoverished and crime-infested streets of 24th century Earth. Sold into slavery to save their families from financial ruin, the girls are forced to live out their lives in service to the Kimura Corporation, a prestigious mercenary clan with a lineage stretching back long before the formation of the Federated Corporations. Known only to Kimura, the two girls share startling secret - a rare genetic structure not found in tens of millions of other girls. But when their secret becomes known, Sigrid and Suko quickly find themselves at the center of a struggle for power. Now, hunted by men who would seek to control them, Sigrid and Suko are forced to fight for their own survival, and for the freedom of the girls from Alcyone. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Canyon of the Gun: Loner with a Badge Western Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 222min
    Stone forewent further loading and snapped the cylinder closed, hoping the hammer fell on a live round. By now, the man was closing in on him, his pistol pointed. Having heard cannon fire on a few occasions, it seemed he heard it again as the outlaw was propelled back into the street, his midsection all but severed. Recovering from astonishment and venturing a look around the corner, a cloud of smoke was dissipating from the porch. In the midst of the cloud was an old man with a towel draped about his waist and holding a 10-gauge double barrel Greener, or hand cannon if one preferred. The acrid smell of spent gunpowder permeated the air. Still shaken, Stone holstered his pistol and stepped upon the porch. Hank leaned the Greener against the wall. With his wrinkled lips pursed, the old timer surveying the carnage. "You'd think they'd soon learn not to fool with us, wouldn't you, son?" Hank stoically opinioned. Stone begins this job from atop a stagecoach, posing as a shotgun messenger. Outlaws are robbing the Southern Colorado Stage and Freight Company of gold shipments. No one knows where or when they might strike. No one has a clue where they hide. This is driving the stage company to the brink of bankruptcy. Desperate, the owner wires Jake Stone. Stone doesn't stay atop the stage long. Explaining why he is here to the tall, lanky, tobacco-chewing driver, he and the likeable old cuss formulate a plan. The plan works and he discovers the villains' hideout just beyond the Canyon of the Gun. Although he has no intention of confronting them until he can return with help, he is forced to kill several of their number before he can leave. Even more will die before Stone closes this case. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: T.J. Dasch. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/064353/bk_acx0_064353_sample.mp3.

    The La Brea Tar Pits: The History and Legacy of One of the World’s Most Famous Fossil Sites , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 90min
    Even at a distance, the acrid stench of asphalt and sulfur singes the hairs of people’s nostrils, and when the blustering winds subside, the potent miasma lingers in the air. To the untrained eye, the La Brea Tar Pits seem to be nothing more than simply pools of thick, viscous black sludge, its obsidian-like surface bestrewn with an assortment of autumn leaves and dirt. Gooey methane bubbles spurt up periodically, shattering the glassy veneer of the grease-black lakes, and the shiny bubbles swell to varying sizes and wiggle from side to side before popping, the sticky collapse almost reminiscent of cracking open a chocolate molten lava cake.This black sludge might seem rather unremarkable after a few moments, as it appears to just sit there in its idle state, but in fact, the seemingly innocuous bubbles are symptomatic of the treacly dark substance lurking on the bottom of the pit. The pit’s contents have spelled the doom for a countless number of creatures both large and small, from legions of insects to mighty mastodons, mammoths, and snarling saber-toothed cats from the Pleistocene Era. Of course, this is what makes the area a natural landmark in the first place, and today the La Brea Tar Pits are considered by many scientists to be among the greatest finds in modern history. Technically, these lustrous lakes of ink-black, while branded “tar,” are in actuality pools of asphalt seeps that have remained in place for several millennia, gushing forth from a natural subterranean petroleum spring underneath the city of Los Angeles known as the “Salt Lake Oil Field.” Needless to say, the tar pits are a far cry from the glittering, crystalline ponds cooled by the shade of surrounding palm trees found throughout the City of Angels. Indeed, the pungent reek of asphalt, pulsing methane bubbles, and their hauntingly black surfaces, making it impossible to gauge the true depth of the asphalt abysses, should have seemingly served as clear deterrents to ungekürzt.

    The Battle on the Ice: The History and Legacy of the Slavs’ Decisive Victory Against the Teutonic Knights , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min
    Includes a bibliography for further reading Includes a table of contents  “He was taller than others and his voice reached the people as a trumpet, and his face was like the face of Joseph, whom the Egyptian Pharaoh placed as next to the king after him of Egypt. His power was a part of the power of Samson and God gave him the wisdom of Solomon ... this Prince Alexander: he used to defeat but was never defeated…." (The Second Pskovian Chronicle)In 1938, the Soviet Union film company Mosfilm released the motion picture Alexander Nevsky, directed by Sergei Eisenstein. It is a historical drama depicting the defense of the Republic of Novgorod against an invasion of the Teutonic Knights in the mid-13th century. The eponymous hero of the story, the Prince of Novgorod, leads his troops against the German knights on a field of solid ice. During the battle, called the Battle on the Ice or the Battle of Lake Peipus, the ice breaks and many of the knights drown in the freezing waters, but Nevsky is victorious and the pernicious Germans are vanquished forever. Far from an attempt to portray historical events, Alexander Nevsky is a Stalinist propaganda piece in which the Russian people defy and halt the eastward expansion of the German menace. It is an obvious allegory of the Soviet Union defying Nazi Germany at a time when Soviet-German relations were at their most acrid before World War II. The clothing of the Teutonic warriors inaccurately display swastikas, and the famous scene where they are swallowed up by the ice is also a Stalinist embellishment.   Of course, Soviet Russia was not the first to use the historical conflict between the German West and the Slavic East for propaganda purposes. The German defeat of Russia at the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914 was portrayed as revenge for the Battle of Grunwald in 1410, when the Poles and Lithuanians overwhelmed the flower of the German nobility.

    The Front Runner
    In the spring of 1987, the smart money was on charismatic Colorado senator Gary Hart (Hugh Jackman) to head the Democratic presidential ticket the following year. However, his jousting with the political press over his rumored infidelities would all too quickly scuttle his ambitions and forever alter the landscape of government-media relations. Jason Reitman's acrid American snapshot co-stars Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons, Alfred Molina, Ari Graynor, Mike Judge, and Sara Paxton as Donna Rice. 113 min. Widescreen, Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.
