SIMPOC: The Thinking Computer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 138min

The entire human population is attacked by a very suspicious virus. SIMPOC's programmer doesn't come in to work, that day, the next, or ever. The commander of the space station Oasis, Joan Herl, is forced to abandon the station because of dwindling resources. When they land on earth, they are attacked by another thinking computer who would do anything to protect itself and to continue thinking. The moon colony, Dessert Beach, is trapped as their resources are running out, and they must decide when to come home. They have only lifeboats to carry them back to the lifeless Earth, and what will they find when they enter the atmosphere and land? The astronauts trapped on the Mars colony, Red Dirt, are in worse condition. Their systems will break down and resources will run out. Coming home for them is a different story. The lifeboats aren't made for that purpose and must be rebuilt before the colony breaks down. Should they stay and take their chances on Mars, or should they journey back to Earth? ungekürzt.

To the Lifeboats - A Novella: The Lifeboat Augusta Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min

Some heroes come into being under pressure. Others show their mettle early on. And then there are the rare few who reach dizzying heights, only to fall from grace. All three exist aboard the Lifeboat Augusta, where they struggle with extraordinary circumstances in an environment none of them ever expected to experience first hand. Randy Tagget is afraid, and he has every reason to be. The entire human race is on the verge of being wiped out, except for a small number of scientists, engineers, and technology experts who have a slim chance at survival in space. If they can overcome the failings of their species, they may earn an opportunity to repopulate the earth - provided they can stay alive to do it. Randy's protector is Keisha Miller, a smart, driven US Air Force pilot who accepts a new, temporary assignment as an astronaut. The posting gives her a ringside seat for the end of the world and a real chance at being one of the few with the chance to rebuild an entire civilization from scratch. Will humanity blink out like a light, or survive the onslaught from deep space and return triumphantly to the top of the food chain? Only time, Randy Tagget, and Keisha Miller can decide the fate of humankind for sure - if they survive the Lifeboat Augusta. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Phillips.

Titanic on Trial: The Night the Titanic Sank, Told Through the Testimonies of Her Passengers and Crew , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 540min

April 15, 2012, marked 100 years since the Titanic sank. Since that fateful night, stories about the sinking have become legendary - how the band played to the end, how lifeboats were lowered half-empty - but amongst the films, novels and academic arguments, only those who were there can separate truth from fiction. After the sinking, inquiries into the loss of 1,517 lives (out of 2,223 aboard) were held in both the UK and US. The proceedings produced 1,000 pages of transcripts. Some of the testimonies were inevitably less than impartial, but as a whole the transcripts represent the most thorough and complete account of the sinking, told in the voices of those who were there. For the first time these transcripts have been specially edited and arranged chronologically, so that they tell the story of the Titanic's sinking as a narrative, rather than a list of questions and answers in a courtroom. The witnesses are transformed into characters in a much bigger story, and the events are described from different perspectives of people in every part of the ship, from a stoker in the boiler room escaping his section before the water tight doors sealed behind him, to first class passengers trying to buy their way onto lifeboats. Capturing the disbelief, the chaos and the terror of the disaster, this unique book brings to life the tragedy through the voices of those who survived it. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Voyage of the James Caird , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 51min

Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874 - 1922) was a polar explorer who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic. 'The Voyage of the James Caird' is the story of Shackleton's 1916 failed attempt at a crossing of Antarctica from sea to sea via the pole. The expedition turned to disaster when Shackleton's ship, Endurance, became trapped in pack ice and was slowly crushed. The crew escaped by camping on the sea ice until it disintegrated, then by launching the lifeboats to reach Elephant Island. From there a party led by Shackleton set sail for the inhabited island of South Georgia, a stormy ocean voyage of 720 nautical miles and Shackleton's most famous exploit. ungekürzt.

The Lusitania's Last Voyage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 124min

On May 7, 1915, the Lusitania neared the coast of Ireland. At 2:10 in the afternoon, a torpedo fired by the German submarine U 20 slammed into her side.

Most passengers never had a chance. Within 18 minutes, the giant ship slipped beneath the sea. One thousand, one hundred nineteen of the 1,924 aboard died. The dead included 114 Americans. Charles E. Lauriat, Jr., was an American who survived the sinking of the great ship.

The Titanic: Voices from the BBC Archive, Hörbuch, Digital, 146min

The RMS Titanic sailed from Southampton en route for New York on her maiden voyage with 2,228 passengers and crew on board. On 14 April, 1912, at twenty minutes before midnight, sailing at almost full speed, she struck an iceberg and sank in just two and a half hours. Over 1500 lives were lost. This is the story of a great tragedy described by the surviving passengers, officers, and crew who were on board that night. Firsthand accounts help to explain why so few of the passengers took to the lifeboats and later describe the miraculous survival of those forced to jump into the icy waters of the North Atlantic. The story of the Titanic is ultimately one of simple human loss and these laconic Edwardian voices bring it alive. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Pigott-Smith.
