    After his almost fatal experience on the exoplanet Erid-34, Dr. Neil Jackson wakes up out of a 10-year coma and finds himself in a strange room on Earth. He has very little memory of what happened to him on Erid-34, but he desperately wants to remember. The doctor overseeing his condition, Dr. Sigmund Kline, tries to help him fill in those blanks in his memory. But when NASA officials demand a conference with Neil at NASA Headquarters in Washington D.C., things take a turn for the worse. This sets Neil out on an adventure where he must discover the truth about what happened to him. It is a truth he could have never foreseen. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Craig.

    Something big is coming...big enough to destroy the entire solar system...and it's heading straight for Earth. That's what Dr. Ben Rollins, head of Harvard's exoplanet research team, is told by NASA after being dragged out of bed in the middle of the night. His first instinct is to call his daughter and wife, who are vacationing in Italy: Something is coming, he tells them, a hundred times the mass of our sun. We can't see it, we don't know what it is, but it's there. They're calling it Nomad, and it's coming fast. In just a few months, the Earth may be destroyed. The world erupts into chaos as the end approaches - and Ben discovers that his wife and daughter are trapped in Italy. The key to humanity's survival may rest in the final answers he pieces together in the midst of his frantic scramble to find his family before Nomad swallows the planet. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Eye with Which the Universe Beholds Itself: Apollo Quartet, Book 2: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!* For 15 years, Earth has had a scientific station on an exoplanet orbiting Gliese 876. It is humanity’s only presence outside the solar system. But a new and powerful telescope at L5 can detect no evidence of Phaeton Base, even though it should be able to. So the US has sent Brigadier Colonel Bradley Elliott, USAF, to investigate. Twenty years before, Elliott was the first, and to date only, man to land on the Martian surface. What he discovered there gave the US the stars, but it might also be responsible for the disappearance of Phaeton Base....*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.   ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Dr. Neil Jackson had just gotten through discovering that he's been on the exoplanet Erid-34 the entire time as part of an earthling zoo exhibit. His girlfriend, Cindy Burnett, is still alive, but she has been brainwashed into following the orders of the evil alien Dr. Sigmund Kline. Now Sigmund wants to erase Neil's memory, too, and reprogram him to help the people of Erid-34 destroy everyone on Earth, so they can take over the planet. But the power of the love Neil shares with Cindy helps restore his memory as well as hers. From there the two of them hatch a plan to escape from Erid-34 and return to Earth in time to warn their fellow earthlings of the Eridian invasion. First they have to convince everyone on Erid-34 that they're still brainwashed. Eventually their plan gets discovered by the ruler of Erid-34, named President Zane. After Neil and Cindy barely escape from the planet in a stolen replica of their old ship, President Zane orders his space soldiers to stop them before they get to Earth. Will President Zane succeed, or will Neil and Cindy make it back to Earth in time to warn their comrades? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Craig.

    From USA Today best-selling author Ryan Armstrong, a scientist journeys through space to discover alien life and recover her loss of what defines us - memories. I’m Emily Bircher. A scientist. My memories were deleted. I don’t remember, but my feelings remain. I’m traveling space to study alien life. Hoping feelings stop at the speed of light. The year 2095: Dr. Emily Bircher is the most brilliant, celebrated research scientist on earth, a botanist, and a medical doctor. Emily loses her husband, Alaric. She dims her memory of him, calculating that is how to move on. The US government invites her to embark on an interstellar mission to the exoplanet Proximus b, Earth’s nearest neighbor. The planet has a strong magnetic field allowing it to retain an atmosphere like Earth’s. Emily refuses to go. She is still grieving. The government deceives her, stealing her memories of Alaric from the chip in her brain. Leaving her with only scarred pain. With nothing tethering her to Earth anymore, she travels at nearly the speed of light to the planet, a five-year journey. Her groundbreaking research there uncovers alien life’s possibilities, while her experience provides evidence of humanity’s depraved, violent limits. Emily still yearns for the husband she doesn’t know she had. He wasn’t carved out of her brain; the feeling of him is still etched into her heart. Her greatest discovery on the planet is communication with an alien life-form. Through love. Love is built from memories. Emily finds memories create feelings that never truly go away. To love, Emily must accept the feelings that lost memories create. ungekürzt.

    Are we alone in the universe? If not, where is everybody? An engaging exploration of one of the most important unsolved problems in science.Everything we know about how planets form and how life arises suggests that human civilization on Earth should not be unique. We ought to see abundant evidence of extraterrestrial activity but we don't. Where is everybody? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, science and technology writer Wade Roush examines one of the great unsolved problems in science: is there life, intelligent or otherwise, on other planets? This paradox (they're bound to be out there; but where are they?), first formulated by the famed physicist Enrico Fermi, has fueled decades of debate, speculation, and, lately, some actual science. Roush lays out the problem in its historical and modern-day context and summarizes the latest thinking among astronomers and astrobiologists. He describes the long history of speculation about aliens (we've been debating the idea for thousands of years); the emergence of SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) as a scientific discipline in the 1960s, and scientists' use of radio and optical techniques to scan for signals; and developments in astrobiology (the study of how life might arise in non-Earth like environments) and exoplanet research (the discovery of planets outside our solar system). Finally, he discusses possible solutions to the Fermi Paradox and suggests way to refocus SETI work that might increase the chances of resolving the paradox and finding extraterrestrials.

    Science fiction allows us to go places we can only dream of seeing - other worlds, distant stars, entirely different galaxies. While not every story is concerned with the hard science behind space travel and other futuristic ventures, fiction can give us amazing insight into what we could be capable of and what we dream of doing. In the 10 lectures of The Science of Sci-Fi: From Warp Speed to Interstellar Travel, Professor Erin Macdonald interweaves real science and the achievements of the imagination to reveal the truth that underlies our favorite stories and sheds light on what the future may hold. From faster-than-light travel to journeys through time itself, science fiction makes humanity seem limitless. So, what scientific boundaries are we pushing against as we seek to fly among the stars? Beginning with an overview of the physics of time and space as we know them, Professor Macdonald shows how stories extrapolate current knowledge to create visions of the future and how likely - or unlikely - these fictional journeys could be. What would happen if a spaceship flew into a wormhole, as it does in the film Galaxy Quest? Or, if you prefer video games, what would happen if you fired a rocket launcher on the Moon like the soldiers of Mass Effect? Could we ever break the bounds of light speed as they do in Star Wars and move across the universe without spending decades trying to make it to a distant exoplanet? Is the transporter technology of Star Trek really possible? As you look closely at artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, tachyons, red matter, time dilation, and other sci-fi mainstays through the theories of some of science’s greatest thinkers, you will find that your favorite science fiction stories become even more astonishing.
