This must-hear Alien in My Pocket book is the fourth in the series by Nate Ball, the host of PBS' Design Squad and Design Squad Nation.

What's worse, his bike crashed because his four-inch-tall houseguest, Amp, experimented on the brakes! Now Zack is easy prey for his little brother, Taylor, who's determined to find out once and for all what mysteries Zack has hidden in his pocket.

Lodestone: A Shadow Warriors Novella (Shadow Warriors, Book 5) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 139min
“Deceleration. The MT1-XX parachute billowed open in the night sky above him, snapping his shoulders back against the harness and pulling him out of freefall. Over six years at this game...and he still didn't like the idea of jumping out of a fully-functional aircraft.” The year is 2006. As the Israeli Defense Force storms across the border into Southern Lebanon, preparing to surround the stronghold of Bint Jbeil, three men wearing the yellow headbands of Hezbollah parachute off the ramp of a USAF C-130 Hercules, falling into the Lebanese night. Their mission: rescue a compromised CIA asset from Bint Jbeil with only hours remaining before the IDF completes their envelopment of the town. For Harry Nichols, it isn't his first time dropping into a combat zone. But getting to the ground is only the beginning...for the woman they have come to save is the wife of a Hezbollah commander. Her husband has vowed to kill her. The CIA has promised to keep her alive. But as the mission descends into chaos - as the night explodes in fire - some promises will prove impossible to keep. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Iago McCarthy.

Murphy's Law: Ideas & Concepts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min
Learn about Murphy's Law with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. Murphy's Law is a tongue-in-cheek and rather pessimistic adage of eight simple words: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. The translation of these words into "Murphy's Law" was in honor of US aerospace engineer Edward Aloysius Murphy, Junior. Legend has it that in 1949 Murphy made an offhand comment to his colleagues while working at an Air Force Base in California. His team was testing human tolerance for g-forces during rapid deceleration. The experiments involved Air Force officer John Stapp being strapped into a sled moving at great speed. As the sled decelerated, an instrument was supposed to take readings of the g-forces Stapp experienced. However, the instrument Murphy was using gave no reading. When the problem was looked into, it was discovered that a technician had actually wired the instrument backwards. A frustrated Murphy commented: "If there's any way to do it wrong, he'll find it!"

The Hermitage Museum: The History and Legacy of Russia's Famous Art and Culture Icon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything, is ready, we shall never begin. (Ivan Turgenev, 19th century Russian novelist) Before the 18th century, many believed that the "Tsardom of all Russia", which originated with the rather aptly named Ivan the Terrible, had contributed to the deceleration of the nation's progress. They fared no better in the eyes of the major powers of Europe at the time, who openly dismissed them as "barbarians" that ran a "backwards" society. It was clear that Russia was hopelessly stuck in a dark ages of sorts. That was, until a new wave of monarchs, mainly Peter the Great and Empress Catherine II, reeled the country out of the dark and troubled waters of societal and cultural decay. Fond of the cultures to the west, Peter embraced technology, science, and the arts, developing a new educational system for his people and supporting a number of institutions of higher learning in Russia. He built a European-style capital at St. Petersburg and also established new ports and access to the Baltic Sea for the purposes of opening up trade with the west. Catherine the Great came to power in the midst of the Enlightenment, which was flourishing in France and Britain. A known correspondent of Voltaire's, Catherine sought to modernize Russia and turn it into a force in its own right, creating a rich and cultured court at the same time. Over the course of nearly 35 years in power, Catherine ushered in the Russian Enlightenment and presided over a period of time known as the Golden Age of the Russian Empire. Moreover, Catherine had an unmatched passion for the arts, and she began a private art collection that would eventually evolve into galleries upon galleries of historical treasures shipped in from all over the world. This fabled museum was none other than the Hermitage, located in the heart of Saint Petersburg, a city founded by the imperial empire's very own Peter the Great. T ungekürzt. Language: English.

Sleepers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 390min
The day the demons came, we all fell asleep. Two-thirds of the Earth's population didn't wake up. Others, like myself, were different. Transformed by some alien power. They sat at the edge of our solar system drifting toward our home. With our new powers, we were all that stood between those we had to protect and the end of the world. The fire from my match flickered in the middle of the night as you woke up next to me screaming. It felt almost as if time itself had slowed to a halt. Already, we had been married for a week, and it seemed nothing could stop us. Your eyes had turned a pasty white that night as your small, petite, and fragile limbs cracked as you stood waist up in our bed. Your jaw stood crooked as you slowly tilted your head studying the room around you. The room was yours, just as it had always been. Zombie and fantasy posters hung on the wall lit by a black light you kept running 24/7. Your brother and I tried our best to keep it the same for you before you fell away from us into the dreaming. Two-thirds of the Earth's population went to sleep that night, but not before delivering a message. Some told it in tongues, while others spoke in dead languages no one could understand. You were one of the few who said it clear as day. I will never forget it; your voice cracked and groaned as your eyes met mine, and I tried my best to wake you hoping you were only experiencing a night terror or that this whole thing had been a part of some bad dream. I failed, and all I could do was listen as you repeated again and again, "We are coming." Five years have passed since the day of your possession, and now you lay still in a coma aboard the Earth's first starship. You rest quietly in stasis as your brother, not much older than I, along with 1,000 more survivors begin our deceleration toward what we have christened the Lamia, a daemon warship. Five years we have prepared for this day. This, our final stand against the daemons since they ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Garnett.
