The Heart of War: The Warsworn, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 672min
King Tryton has rebuilt a nation, forged peace from war, and returned his people to the honor they had lost. Now guarding mages, guildmasters, and kings, the rock trolls inspire respect rather than fear. In spite of his feats, it is his family that brings him pride. He has trained his children in every facet of combat, preparing them for a world of conflict. It will not be enough. In the distant past another rock troll reigned supreme - until he disappeared. His will was bound to another, his flesh empowered with forgotten magic, and his body covered with impenetrable armor. Now he leads an army from another realm and serves the Lord of Chaos himself. Bound for eons, his rage has only grown in exile. When he gains his freedom the invasion begins. And the world ends. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ralph Lister.

In Sensorium: Notes for My People
Fragrance has long been used to mark who is civilized and who is barbaric, who is pure and who is polluted, who is free and who is damned- Focusing their gaze on our most primordial sense, writer and perfumer Tanaïs weaves a brilliant and expansive memoir, a reckoning that offers a critical, alternate history of South Asia from an American Bangladeshi Muslim femme perspective. From stories of their childhood in the South, Midwest, and New York; to transcendent experiences with lovers, psychedelics, and fragrances; to trips home to their motherland, Tanaïs builds a universe of memories and scent: a sensorium. Alongside their personal history, and at the very heart of this work, is an interrogation of the ancient violence of caste, rape culture, patriarchy, war, and the inherited ancestral trauma of being from a lush land constantly denuded, a land still threatened and disappearing because of colonization, capitalism, and climate change. Structured like a perfume-moving from base to heart to head notes-IN SENSORIUM interlaces eons of South Asian perfume history, erotic and religious texts, survivor testimonies, and material culture with memoir. In Sensorium is archive and art, illuminating the great crises of our time with the language of Liberation.- Shop: buecher

The Book of Azrael (eBook, ePUB)
World Ender meets Ender of Worlds...A thousand years ago, Dianna gave up her life in the deserts of Erioa to save her dying sister. She called upon anyone who would listen, not expecting a monster far worse than any nightmare to answer. Now she does what Kaden asks, even if that means securing an ancient relic from the very creatures that hunt her. A King thought long dead and long forgotten.¿In the old world his name was Samkiel. In the new world it is Liam, but one title remains true throughout time. He is the World Ender, a myth to his enemies, a savior and King to those loyal to him. After the Gods War, he locked himself away, hiding from the world. He denied his crown and responsibilities, leaving the very ones who needed him most to deal with the fallout of the death of their homeworld. Now an attack on those he holds dear sends him back to the one realm he never wished to visit again and into the sights of an enemy he thought imprisoned eons ago. Now enemies older than time must put aside their differences and work together in hopes of saving both their world and every realm in between.- Shop: buecher

The Queen's Road, Hörbuch, Digital, 620min
Ramon “Ray” Cosa’s life is not what he expected it to be. Living in a small Texas town ravaged by Hurricane Harvey, Ray has suffered many losses in his young life, and he has little hope left that anything will ever change or get better. That is, until the vintage Ford Galaxie and its strange, dying owner enters Ray’s life. Given a jeweled ring he cannot remove and a desperate mission, Ray is plunged into a universe of secrets, wonders, and terrors he never dreamed exists. Now, he travels the Queen's Road - a hyper-space highway that connects all the planets and galaxies in creation - in search of one man, one of the Queen of the Universe's Rangers. That journey will put Ray on the front lines of an eons-old cosmic war between the primal forces of order and chaos. And probably make him late for his next shift at the Chug-n-Lug.

Darien is no longer a lost outpost of humanity, but the prize in an intergalactic power struggle. Hegemony forces have a stranglehold over the planet and crack troops patrol its hotspots while Earth watches, passive, rendered impotent by galactic politics.

However, Darien's guardians have not been idle, gathering resistance on the planet's forest moon. Knowledge has been lost since great races battled in eons past, and now time is short.

Amityville’s Ghost: Warface: Featuring Links to My Past: A Short Story of Horror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min
In the first of two short horror stories, “Warface”, urban legend has it that eons ago Samuel Ketchum killed and tortured countless Indians on remote Indian Island. Not even women and children were spared. Years later, tales of bizarre disappearance and drowning surfaced. Locals tell of a tribal witch doctor Ketchum burned alive on that very island and speculate he now roams the land seeking vengeance for his death by collecting innocent souls for eternity. He is Chief Warface, and he’s out there haunting Indian Island. In the story “Links to My Past”, while visiting a graveyard during a class trip to Old Bethpage Village Restoration, a group of students notice the name on a headstone is the same as one of the students. That student, Richard Valentine, starts having dreams and goes back to the time dated on the tombstone of 1887. This cemetery contains graves of the unwanted: murderers, rapists, and those possessed by witchcraft. What Valentine sees changes him forever. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barry Schwam.

The Rendered Universe: Why Virtual Reality Unlocks the Secret of Consciousness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min
Although Plato didn’t know about virtual reality headsets or what such a new-fangled technology could evoke, he did understand better than most that humans do not see reality as it is, but rather how we filter it, moment to moment.His famous Allegory of the Cave, which is arguably the single greatest thought experiment in the history of philosophy, explains (via the mouthpiece of Socrates) very simply that we are prisoners who confuse shadows on the wall, which are artificially manufactured by an unseen burning fire as if they were real “men and other living things”. It is an illusion, and as such, the imprisoned men are duped.Today, with the advent of ever-increasing scientific advances, we are on the threshold of better understanding why consciousness evolved and how it works. This audiobook is an exploration of how virtual reality technologies will help advance our understanding of how consciousness evolved eons ago. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: F.C. LaPlante.
