A Station on the Path to Somewhere Better , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 583min

The acclaimed author of The Ecliptic, Benjamin Wood, writes a novel of exceptional force and beauty about the bond between fathers and sons, about the invention and reconciliation of self - weaving a haunting story of violence and love. For 20 years, Daniel Hardesty has borne the emotional scars of a childhood trauma which he is powerless to undo, which leaves him no peace. One August morning in 1995, the young Daniel and his estranged father, Francis - a character of ‘two weathers’, of irresistible charm and roiling self-pity - set out on a road trip to the North that seems to represent a chance to salvage their relationship. But with every passing mile, the layers of Fran’s mendacity and desperation are exposed, pushing him to acts of violence that will define the rest of his son’s life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

He saw his family destroyed, his sister carried off into sexual slavery, his beautiful lover killed - and he swore revenge against the murderous pirates who held the Jupiter planetoids in a stranglehold of terror. Fired by raw courage, steeled by young might, he rose in the navy of Jupiter to command a personal squadron loyal to the death.

Buried Alive, Hörbuch, Digital, 351min

Buried Alive (1908) is a witty satire by Arnold Bennett about a shy painter. Excerpt from the book:"The peculiar angle of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic - that angle which is chiefly responsible for our geography and therefore for our history - had caused the phenomenon known in London as summer. The whizzing globe happened to have turned its most civilized face away from the sun, thus producing night in Selwood Terrace, South Kensington.No. 91 was one of about ten thousand similar houses between South Kensington Station and North End Road. With its grimy stucco front, its cellar kitchen, its hundred stairs and steps, its perfect inconvenience, and its conscience heavy with the doing to death of sundry general servants, it uplifted tin chimney-cowls to heaven and gloomily awaited the day of judgment for London houses, sublimely ignoring the axial and orbital velocities of the earth. You felt that No. 91 was unhappy." Language: English. Narrator: David Beed. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/edel/010128/bk_edel_010128_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Black Earth: How We Got Here , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 774min

It’s late September 2019 when a young astronomer working at the Haleakala Space Observatory in Maui, Hawaii, accidentally spots a black dot in the night sky that is occulting the stars that lie behind it. The Earth-sized black sphere is in our solar system and is calculated to be closely trailing Earth by only 75 million miles. And it is on the same ecliptic plane.NASA launches an unmanned probe to Earth’s nearest neighbor, given the name ILK-87b. The images coming back from the black planet both shock and amaze those inside the halls of NASA.Curiosity, fear, and dread overcome insiders as infrastructure has been detected on the black mass. Scientists are confounded as infrared telescopes are not detecting a heat signature. After a secret meeting of the G8 world leaders is held, an international manned mission is scheduled. Prior to the scheduled manned mission, a secret satellite orbiting the planet, now dubbed Black Earth, detects light emanating from a triangular structure with pentagon-shaped corners. When astronauts finally arrive, two of them, Dr. Carrick "Rock" Michaels and Dr. Kaley "Kinzi" London, are dispatched to investigate.When they arrive at the triangular megaplex, they are shocked when an exterior airlock door opens. What the two find on the other side will change everything we know about man’s origins on Earth and how climate change decided the fate of a once-great society named Zenith.Inside of the structure called The Triad, Carrick and Kinzi stand face-to-face with a 115-year-old man named Erik, and he greets the two by saying, “What took you so long?” Erik tells them the story of Zenith and its mass migration to Earth, beginning 6,000 years ago.As the astronauts are preparing to depart for their journey back to Earth, Carrick shocks them by saying that he will remain on Black Earth. Over the next 13 months, Carrick will learn the history of Zenith and what prompted its mass migration to Earth./p ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bryce Denton.
