The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Volume One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2409min
Gibbon's masterpiece on Rome is a monument of literature and a model of modern historical research. There has never been anything quite like it since its publication between 1776 and 1788. Although some of Gibbon's views are considered controversial today, there is no doubt that his research and patient devotion to scholarship produced one of the most valuable and renowned histories of all time. Gibbon begins his story during the height of the Roman Empire under the Antonines. From there we are shown how the Roman civilization began a long, agonizing slide into chaos and debauchery. Although it is a story familiar to many, never has it been told with such panache and vigor. Volume one comes to an end with the accession of the Emperors Gratian and Valentinian II in the year A.D. 375.The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire will continue in Volumes two and three. ungekürzt.

She is going to awaken them so the extraterrestrials can attack us with the deadliest ships in existence. If the Plutonians destroy our fleet, the others will surely swarm in like locusts and kill us. Earth's fleet is stronger than ever. But the Plutonian ships and tactics will be far superior to ours. Against this new threat, we desperately need help. Creed has a stealth ship and forbidden tech he stole from the galactic core. He's on a lonely mission to buy us a fighting chance.

In Mind of the Vampire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 516min
When Dr. Julian Hemmings agrees to apply the controversial techniques of his mentor Sigmund Freud to the deeply troubled Lucy Westenra, he begins a descent into a world of gothic horror that prompts his own self-analysis, and a confrontation with long-suppressed passions that have affected his life since adolescence. Set in London during the fall of 1897, In Mind of the Vampire draws context from Bram Stoker's Dracula, and features two of the main characters - Lucy Westenra and Mina Murray. But this novel is not a mere retelling of Stoker's tale. Carefully researched and with the full flavor of late Victorian London, In Mind of the Vampire is a haunting tale of mystery, beauty, horror, and agonizing self-realization. Here one is transported to a beguiling and enthralling world, where intellectual sophistication clashes with primal instincts and needs - leading to consequences that testify to the enduring and unalterable power of the imagination. ungekürzt.
