    Weaver: Four Horsemen Tales, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min
    A Tortantula and a Flatar. The most enigmatic teaming in the mercenary guild, it’s also a perfect pairing, where one’s strengths cover the other’s weakness. Raised together from birth, their lives are a brutal series of tests. From the moment they’re thrust together, they are forced to kill their own kind just to survive. No excuses, no mercy, no room for failure. Succeed...or die.Azah isn’t like most other female Tortantula; she’s much smaller and made fun of constantly. No one expects her to survive, much less succeed, but she’s still given a chance and assigned a Flatar: Sadek. The two quickly bond and find they complement each other. Against all odds, they survive the breeding dome and join the ranks of their races’ mercenaries.But Azah begins to exhibit some extremely odd abilities, and everything changes. When Sadek uncovers a plan to manipulate the Tortantula breeding program, he’s unable to determine what their goals are...only that they have plans for Azah. Powerless to stop their shadowy machinations, the two know one thing: They want to stay together "Zha Oort" - until the ending.But Fate is calling, and Fate doesn’t care what anyone wants. ungekürzt.

    Solar System , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min
    The solar system is full of interesting objects, and new surprises are discovered everyday by many astronomic agencies and institutes. Solar wind is one of many amazing objects related to the solar system. Solar wind is a stream containing charged particles. It flows outwards from the sun. With its flow, it leaves behind a bubble-like region in interstellar medium. This region is referred as heliosphere. The flow of solar wind faces a point at which both interstellar and solar wind possess the same pressure. This point falls usually at the edge of scattered discs. If we go further than this, there comes the Oort cloud. It is possibly the source of long period comets. Its distance is yet to be figured out. It is possible that it may be located thousands of times further than where the heliosphere is located. Our galaxy (in which our solar system is located) is named Milky Way. In Milky Way, our solar system is located in Orion Arm that is 26,000 light-years from center point of our galaxy. One light year is equal to the distance which a light ray can cross in a year. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani.

But now, humanity faces a crisis - the last of the free-brained, creative folk have risen against the enslaved people of the Augment and their elite Republican Homeland overlords. It is 2072, and falling creative information flows in the Augment system mean there is little time to reach full power status and launch the planetary cover before the incoming Oort Cloud asteroids destroy civilization.Corrag and Ben make a run for freedom with their daughter Hera to find David’s Tower, an alternative society. At the same time, Corrag's father Ricky sets out to find his father’s book that he is sure will answer the deep-seated root of humanity’s evil. These are just a few of the individuals on a quest, drawn to the utopian world of the Tower, built by the man known to his followers as the "Saint". David Shavelson, a former owner of a Brooklyn bookstore, is a charismatic visionary leading a community in resistance against the mental enslavement of the Augment system.

    Xeelee: Redemption , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1065min
    Michael Poole finds himself in a very strange landscape.... This is the centre of the Galaxy. And in a history without war with the humans, the Xeelee have had time to built an immense structure here. The Xeelee Belt has a radius 10,000 times Earth's orbital distance. It is a light-year in circumference. If it was set in the solar system, it would be out in the Oort Cloud, among the comets - but circling the sun. If it was at rest, it would have a surface area equivalent to about 30 billion Earths. But it is not at rest: it rotates at near light speed. And because of relativistic effects, distances are compressed for inhabitants of the Belt and time drastically slowed.The purpose of the Belt is to preserve a community of Xeelee into the very far future, when they will be able to tap dark energy, a universe-spanning antigravity field, for their own purposes. But with time the Belt has attracted populations of lesser species, here for the immense surface area, the unending energy flows. Poole, Miriam and their party, having followed the Ghosts, must explore the artefact and survive encounters with its strange inhabitants - before Poole, at last, finds the Xeelee who led the destruction of Earth.... ungekürzt.

Officer Richard Oort of the Albuquerque Police Department is caught in the middle of this primal battle when he rescues a mysterious teenage girl from a trio of inhuman hunters. Recruited by the Lumina to serve as their latest paladin, Richard ends up fighting beside a handful of unlikely allies, including an adolescent sorceress, an enigmatic philanthropist, a sexy coroner, and a homeless god with multiple personalities. The Old Ones and their mortal pawns are determined to destroy Richard - or subvert him to their cause. And they have all powers of magic and organized religion at their disposal. As the gates between the universes shred apart, it may be up to Richard to save humanity from the endless horror of a new Dark Age. Provocative as The Golden Compass or the Illuminatus! trilogy, The Edge of Reason dramatizes the fundamental conflict behind the hot-button issues of today...and the future of the human race. ungekürzt.

    What do you do when the Earth is under assault from monstrous creatures by alternate dimensions and you're the only person who can wield the weapon that can destroy them? That's the situation facing Richard Oort, hero of Melinda Snodgrass' Edge of Dawn. Lonely and overwhelmed after a series of terrifying, catastrophic global and personal events, Richard is still determined to save the world from the horrific "old ones". He goes undercover in a Christian fundamentalist compound, playing house with an attractive FBI agent. At first this serves only to increase his loneliness, as he misses his real family. But against all odds, he discovers another unique human who can use the paladin's weapon, one who might be able to join him and lighten the burden of responsibility. There's only one problem - Mosi is a nine-year-old Navajo girl. Their enemies are trying to kill both Richard and Mosi - and have already killed Mosi's family. To keep her safe, Richard becomes her guardian. But an error in judgment leads to disaster and betrayal, and now the odd pair will need to summon all their strength to survive the coming battle. From the American Southwest to a secret society in Turkey, the paladin and his ward try to stay in front of their enemies. But the world is at stake - and time is running short. ungekürzt.

    ISON, the Icy Wanderer: And Other Mystical Tales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
    Looking for snippets of fresh perspectives, humor in mundane things, wisdom insights? Check out all 14 short mystical stories: Americans were celebrating Thanksgiving in Fall of 2013 when Comet ISON, arriving from distant Oort Cloud, reached “perihelion”, the critical moment rounding the Sun when he would flare up and become a majestic Christmas comet or break apart from Sun’s intense heat. ISON, an animated being in our story, finds both comfort and scorn from planets and asteroids, and NASA’s careful watch, as he traverses the Solar System on his perilous journey; confronting the big questions of purpose, life, death and beyond, for all consciousness, be they human, animal, or comets made from ice and dirt. “Light a Particle or Wave?” examines the metaphysical foundation of living cells and science’s unsolved mystery as to why light elements act as both particle and wave. Through humor and science, a light element narrating the story answers the unanswerable question. “Unforeseen Voyage” launches from an ordinary lunch at a waterfront restaurant, where a diner enters a “Twilight Zone” mystery. Seeing the futility of life’s ordinary pursuits with death close at hand, he forms a critical view of other diners’ eating, drinking, and merry-making. But in a moment the tables turn, and he is on the receiving end. The story is of the dilemma we face as we contemplate our temporal natures. In “Are You Christian”, faith and Christianity struggle with evolution. Ryan, the mystic, demonstrates the shortfalls of both, revealing a greater more elevated understanding of life beyond. In “On Order from The Divine”, an ego-driven heavenly being is critiquing the failings of humanity from his lofty perch above. The Divine overhears and orders him to take human birth, to better see human challenges. Encountering first erotic lust, then receptivity, a wise monastic delivers a special message on the pitfalls of self-importance, and his new life on ungekürzt. Language: English.
