    The Fall Revolution 4: The Sky Road , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 719min
    Centuries after the catastrophic Deliverance, humanity is again reaching into space. And Clovis, a young scholar working in the spaceship-construction yard, could make the difference between success and failure. For his mysterious new lover, Merrial, has seduced him into the idea of extrapolating the ship's future from the dark archives of the past. A past in which, centuries before, Myra Godwin faced the end of a different space age--her rockets redundant, her people rebellious, and her borders defenceless against the Sino-Soviet Union. As Myra appealed to the crumbling West for help, she found history turning on her own strange past--and on the terrible decisions she faces now. The Sky Road is a fireworks display, a bravura performance, and the most amazing novel yet by one of the powerful new voices in science fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lucy Paterson.

    Mystery, Indiana - 2001: A Coming of Age Ghost Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
    July, 1975. Vincennes, Indiana. It was the summer of '75. A time of killer sharks at the movies - Alice Cooper's Nightmare and Star Trek: A Technical Manual - none of which really appealed to me, but then, I wasn't part of the pop culture "in" crowd.Fortunately, I wasn't alone. My empty wallet and I spent the summer at the city beach with my similarly disinterested friends, smoking cigarettes, guzzling Mountain Dew, and bantering with (ogling) the local girls kind enough to model the latest JC Penney swimwear. It doesn't take much to make a 17-year-old boy happy.Note from the author: This story is the first one I wrote after graduating from my GED class in 2001. It has spawned several other short stories, one book, and several film scripts, one of which I still hope to have produced someday. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it for you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric M. Jordan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/187659/bk_acx0_187659_sample.mp3.

    Giving It Away: Classical Music in Lockdown and Other Fairytales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 253min
    This thing caught us all unawares. Disney were preparing to launch their new subscription TV channel on March 24, in many European countries, including the UK, just as those countries headed into lockdown. Disney’s course of action was clear: They immediately stopped production on their new content, told the content creators they couldn’t afford to pay them and laid them off, put all their existing content online for free, and appealed to the public for donations to help them through the current crisis.Just kidding. Obviously. So where did I get that nonsensical example? Say hello, ladies and gentlemen, to the fairytale world of classical music.Stranded in London when the Coronavirus pandemic hit, Welsh opera singer Paul Carey Jones began chronicling the voyage of the classical music industry through the perils - and opportunities - of a global crisis. Based on his hit blog series Coronaclassical, this book is his lockdown story so far.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Carey Jones.

    Vigilante Moon: A Novel of Old Montana , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 620min
    The Montana gold camps attracted thousands. But while many were miners and merchants, it was nonetheless a haven for gamblers, thieves, and murderous cutthroats as well. The leader of these evil doers was a soft-spoken, charming man named Henry Plummer. With a gift for organization and personality that appealed to men and women alike, Plummer got himself elected Sheriff and organized the outlaws into a band called the "Innocents." Being anything but innocent, this vicious group murdered a known 102 victims between the winters of 1862 and 1864. The number of "Innocents" varied during this time, but there were 24 principle members. All of them, including Sheriff Plummer and his chief deputies, were hanged by Vigilantes between December 21, 1863, and January 11, 1864. It is against this historical background that Vigilante Moon is set, vividly bringing to life Virginia City, Montana in its heyday, and the historical characters that peopled it. ungekürzt.

    Rupert of Hentzau , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 620min
    Anthony Hope was constrained to return to the fictional land of Ruritania by an appreciative public who wanted more swashbuckling and derring-do from the hero Rudolph and more Machiavellian moustache twirling from the suave villain Rupert. The author came up with a literary construction which ensured he would never again have to visit fictional Ruritania - but nothing he subsequently wrote appealed as much as the two Zenda stories. In the sequel it is the loyal courtier Fritz von Tarlenheim who recounts this story of a dastardly plot made upon Queen Flavia's honour, and again the Royal Elphberg line is threatened. Colonel Sapt and all the stalwarts are there, apart from the thuggish Black Michael, and good riddance to him! It's a great love story with lots of action and devious deception by both the good and the bad. Listen and enjoy a marvellous tale full of intrigue, romance and incomparable adventure. ungekürzt.
