    Andromeda Nebula , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 656min
    Ivan Yefremov (1908-1972) was a Soviet writer and paleontologist. In addition to introducing a new paleontological field taphonomy - the study of fossilization patterns - Yefremov has written a series of novels and short stories, including science fiction, historic fiction, adventure, and drama.  Yefremov is frequently ridiculed for his enthusiasm and faith in the viability of a communist society, as described in his best known science-fiction novel Andromeda Nebula. What is frequently overlooked is Yefremov's tremendous knowledge of history and profound understanding of psychology. His future society, while highly evolved, is not impervious to mistakes. His future humanity, having learned and discovered much, is not pausing to rest on its laurels - it continues to learn and explore.  It is not widely known that his more mature works such as Hour of the Bull and Razor's Edge had the writer blacklisted by the Soviet government, as Yefremov's interpretation of a fair and balanced society deviated sharply from the government propaganda of the time.  To Yefremov's fans, he is known for his thorough scientific analysis, study of art and history, emphasis on physical and intellectual balance, and strong female characters. ungekürzt.

Drinking the elixir has made the O'Neills and Ryans impervious to aging, but not to murder. When their families are massacred, Emma and Charlie are the only ones who escape with their lives. On the run, Emma is tragically separated from Charlie. For the next hundred years, she plays a cat-and-mouse game with the Church of Light and their descendants.

    Stinger: Can You Face Your Ultimate Fear? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min
    As his warship comes under attack by a devastating alien horror, a drug-addicted recruit stumbles upon a secret super soldier compound. In his hand is the one hope to save the ship. But to do it, he’ll have to face his crippling fear of the alien Sasori that lies on the other side of the hatch. It all began when as a new recruit, Jimi saw “the footage”. Chaotic visuals of the horrific alien Sasori injected into Sol United fleet ships as killing machines in the war with the Andromedans. The creatures destroyed crew and ship alike and were impervious to conventional weaponry. Seeing the scorpion-like alien in action awakes a primal fear he can't control. Night terrors follow, disturbing squad mates already on edge from the stress of war. Jimi is an outcast in his own unit. In desperation, he turns to the illegal drug hoosh and finds himself AWOL, hidden in the belly of the ship. Crippled by his own terror and addiction, Jimi is unknowingly on the next ship targeted for insertion. His greatest fear of coming face-to-face with the alien horror is about to be realized. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Ogden.

    Briggs Carney was a trailer park teenager when he lost the love of his life to one of those 460,000 mystery disappearances that occur every year. Only later did he come to know how singular she was and how the memory of some people we encounter is impervious to the slow erosion of experience that frees minds, allowing us to move forward in a silent anguish. His was a lifetime spent never quite feeling he was going in the right direction. A living in the shadow of that missed chance. His own destination unclear, he fell into a quiet existence of driving other people to theirs. Dame Neelia Granville, Penhaligon-scented world filled with afternoon high teas, tweed, and Barbour-clad hunting parties over the fog-enshrouded moors of English country estates, unfortunately had time leading her in a circle, too. When Briggs is hired to be Dame Neelia's driver, the veil between past and present is set on fire. A story about how life's inevitable destinations return us to places that reveal truths and settle debts to show us why we should never give up hope that love’s partner is resilience. ungekürzt.

    Shane Remington has it all. He has a great family. He's built his guest ranch into a great business. He's a good-looking guy and he knows it. Everyone loves him. He may not have a woman, but that's okay, he can have any woman he wants - and usually does. There is one woman who seems impervious to his charms though, and for some reason it bothers him. Cassidy Lane has it all, too. She's a talented artist, who has made it commercially. She's successful in her work and in her life. Whatever she wants, she makes it happen. She came to Montana for a new adventure and it's working out perfectly. The one thing she doesn't want - or need - is a man. Shane Remington may be annoyingly attractive, but Cassidy knows he can't handle her. Guys like him want a small, sweet woman to feed their ego - not a strong smart woman like her to challenge it. There's no denying the attraction between them, but will it be enough to bring together a woman who doesn't want anyone and a guy who wants everyone?

    The Sky-Riders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min
    Alistair Jones is an ex-Pinkerton agent roaming the West in search of work. Amy Dunston is an angry widow searching for answers. Who knows what those men with matching mustaches and bowler hats are searching for? But Alistair and Amy would both like to know why there are so many of them, why they all look alike, and why they're impervious to bullets--at least until they meet the business end of Alistair's .52-caliber 1874-pattern Sharps rifle. It could take down a buffalo with one shot, and it worked on those Bowlers, too. But Alistair's gun and Amy's quick thinking might not be enough. Scientist Hiram Wilson's newfangled solar- and steam-powered airship has brought an army of those bowler-wearing varmints out of the woodwork, and destroying Hiram's invention is just the beginning of their terrifying plan for our planet. A vintage Western meets an alien invasion straight out of the golden age of science fiction and adds a chaser of steampunk in The Sky-Riders, a new novelette from Southwest Virginia authors Paul Dellinger (Mr. Lazarus) and Mike Allen (Unseaming). ungekürzt.

    When the infection hit the world, it was originally airborne, impervious to any filters or barriers. Initially 80 to 90 percent of the world’s population, those with RH positive blood, was infected. The disease was then further spread by the infected through transmission of bodily fluids, usually through bites and scratches.Major population centers quickly fell to the infected; only those areas with sparse populations were able to mount a defense against the infected. The remaining survivors began to band together in pockets in small towns and the countryside.The largest contingent of survivors were those evacuated to the desolate state of Wyoming. Military units and civilians answered the call from Air Force Major General Peters, senior surviving general of the entire military.From the small town of Douglas in the center of Wyoming, the military has begun to clear out the infected as the first step to recover the country.The next vital step is to link up and organize with survivors throughout the country to setup outposts while there are still survivors. Freshly minted Lt Caleb White will lead the first mission to establish contact with a band of survivors in Arizona. Unfortunately, the infected are only one of the many dangers in the apocalypse.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: B. C. Archer.
