Ender's Shadow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 942min

The human race is at war with the "Buggers", an insect-like alien race. As Earth prepares to defend itself from total destruction at the hands of an inscrutable enemy, all focus is on the development of military geniuses who can fight such a war, and win. The long distances of interstellar space have given hope to the defenders of Earth, they have time to train these future commanders up from childhood, forging them into an irresistible force in the high orbital facility called the Battle School. Andrew "Ender" Wiggin was not the only child in the Battle School; he was just the best of the best. In this book, Card tells the story of another of those precocious generals, the one they called Bean, the one who became Ender's right hand, part of his team, in the final battle against the Buggers. Bean's past was a battle just to survive. His success brought him to the attention of the Battle School's recruiters, those people scouring the planet for leaders, tacticians, and generals to save Earth from the threat of alien invasion. Bean was sent into orbit, to the Battle School. And there he met Ender. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Brick, Gabrielle de Cuir, full cast.

Ender's Game: Special 20th Anniversary Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 717min

Andrew "Ender" Wiggin thinks he is playing computer-simulated war games at the Battle School; he is, in fact, engaged in something far more desperate. Ender is the result of decades of genetic experimentation, Earth's attempt to make the military genius that the planet needs in its all-out war with an alien enemy. Is Ender the general Earth needs? The only way to find out is to throw the child into ever-harsher training, to chip away and find the diamond inside, or destroy him utterly. Ender Wiggin is six years old when his training begins. He will grow up fast. But Ender is not the only result of the experiment. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings, Peter and Valentine, are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. This, the author's definitive edition, also includes an original postscript written and recorded by the author himself, Orson Scott Card! ungekürzt.

Ender's Game: 1 (The Ender Quintet) by Orson Scott Card - Sidekick , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min

Note: Our sidekick is an accompaniment to Ender's Game and not the novel itself. While it will greatly enhance your enjoyment and understanding of the book, it is not intended to stand in its place. Fifty years after an alien race known as the Buggers nearly invaded Earth, the government has come to rely on gifted young children to be their military strategists. In Ender's Game, bright young Ender Wiggen is whisked off to battle school to learn all about military strategy and prepare for another invasion. Unfortunately, school is just a dangerous game, and Ender knows it. Consider this sidekick your comprehensive companion to Ender's Game. Within, you'll find a detailed look at this sci-fi literary classic, with information on everything from the setting to the novel's themes. The writing style and setting analyses delve into author Orson Scott Card's terse, almost militaristic writing style and the speculative world he's created, where the Cold War never really ended and tensions between America and the so-called Warsaw Pact (the fictional equivalent of the Soviet bloc) are second in intensity only to the fear of another alien invasion. A character reference list and key character breakdown help you keep track of Ender's enemies and allies and understand major figures in Ender's Game. The chapter summaries and analyses guide you along the way to understanding this complex piece. Lastly, book club discussion questions, complete with responses, help spark additional debate. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lee Strayer.

Stop Liking Other Girls' F*cking Photos: A Handbook for Women to "Gently Toss" at Men , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 337min

Does your partner ever say things like "Why the f*ck did you like so-n-so's photo?" Does social media ever cause "issues" in your relationships? If so, lean in and listen carefully, because you're likely f*cking things up that are preposterously avoidable. And can we really blame you? You've had no generational wisdom to implement and no reference books to study from. The Art of War was published in 5th century BC. On the Origin of Species was published in 1859. But you? You're just like everyone else winging this social media sh*t with no guidance whatsoever. Well, find yourself a "safe space" and line up, because the book of our era is here....The first and only prescriptive self-help guide of its kind, this book will help you learn how to conduct yourself and your social media in a manner which is least likely to be utterly f*cking ruinous to your relationships. But it’s even more than that. I’ve also packed it with stuff to explain some of the “whys” of your less-than-helpful social behavior, tips on how to make simple adjustments in your romantic commitments that will yield vastly improved relationship health, and even some ambitious guidelines (with zero professional credentials whatsoever) on how to grow and improve your skills in cultivating yourself into, “You 2.0.”Because let's face it. Marriage is dying, and it’s dying fast. It’s been on the endangered list for years and while there’s no shortage of other crises today like “turtles eating plastic,” if we don’t start focusing on this very important one, then we’ll all be clipping six-pack rings to save those little buggers while we’re waiting for divorce court to begin. So let's fix whatever’s fixable with ourselves before Nietzsche comes back to declare that “marriage is dead, and we f*cking killed it.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Billy Holden.
