Rest and Wreck-reation: The Starhawk Chronicles, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 381min
The planet Utopia is everything its name suggests - a world of incomparable beauty and leisure. An adult playground on a planetary scale. What the travel brochures do not tell is that there is a very dark side to paradise. Utopia is a world of shattered dreams with a tragic past, and its owner will do anything necessary to keep that past hidden. Arigh Boke is not a man to be crossed, and will not tolerate upstarts. But Arigh Boke has never met the crew of the Starhawk. Jesse Forster and his team have arrived on Utopia for some much-needed rest, but a ghost from Jesse’s past is about to help sow the seeds of a revolution among Utopia’s downtrodden, pitching the crew of the Starhawk into full-scale rebellion. They are about to teach Arigh Boke the meaning of the word “wreck-reation.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Shawn Compton.

Spheres of Influence: Grand Central Arena, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 970min
Sequel to popular space adventure, Grand Central Arena! Leader of the Faction of Humanity. It was a ridiculous title, but the Arena said that was what Captain Ariane Austin was since she'd led the crew of the Holy Grail in their discovery of the impossible, physics-violating place and their eventual return, and when the nigh-omnipotent Arena said something, it meant it. Ariane must discover what it means to be the Leader of Humanity, both for herself and for humanity, before her enemies - at home or in the Arena - depose her, kill her, or worse. It will take all her luck, Marc DuQuesne's indomitable will, Simon Sandrisson's genius, and the peerless skill of a living legend. And, in the end, humanity's fate in the galaxy and beyond will hinge on the choice of an uncertain ally who has nothing to gain, and everything to lose, by aiding those neophyte upstarts, the humans. ungekürzt.

A Poisonous Plot: The Twenty First Chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 839min
In 1358, over a century after its foundation in Cambridge, the college of Michael House is facing a serious shortfall of funds and competition from upstarts rivals such as Zachary Hostel. Their problems are made no easier by the hostility of the town's inhabitants, who favour the university moving away to the Fens. This simmering tension threatens to break into violence when a well-known tradesman is found dead in one of the colleges. Matthew Bartholomew knows he was poisoned but cannot identify the actual substance, never mind the killer. He also worries that other illnesses and deaths may have been caused by the effluent from his sister's dye works. Torn between loyalties to his kin and to his college, he fears the truth may destroy both his personal and professional lives, but he knows he must use his skills as a physician to discover the truth before many more lose their lives entirely. ungekürzt.

Fairchild , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 516min
Strangers meet, romance blossoms. But there's a test...A classic fairytale retold. Good English families all have a house in the country with a deer park, a trout stream, and an army of gardeners. They should have a son and if it can be managed, he should be handsome. Cleverness isn't important. Daughters in limited quantities are fine so long as they are pretty. Bastards are inconvenient and best ignored. It's not a big problem, unless you are one. Unfortunately, Sophy is. Sick of her outcast role, she escapes her father's house, only to fall from her horse during a spring storm. Injured, soaked, and shivering, she stumbles to a stranger's door - Tom, a blunt edged merchant from a family of vulgar upstarts. Mistaking Sophy for the genuine article, he takes her in. Sophy can't resist twisting the truth. Soon she's caught in her own snare - and it might just be a noose. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lucy Paterson.

Runaway , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min
An unflinching and at times harrowing blend of social realism and unashamed pulp action reminiscent of those old NEL classics of the 1970s....When violence erupts at a Cockney Upstarts gig, an anarchist punk ends up half-unconscious on the ground, waiting for a much older skinhead to finish him off for good. But then an unlikely ally comes to his aide - his attacker’s timid young girlfriend. He later learns she has an ulterior motive for doing so - the man is keeping her a virtual prisoner and beating her on a regular basis, and she is desperate to escape his clutches. He helps her get away, but it soon becomes apparent what she suffered at the skinhead’s hands is only the tip of a very nasty iceberg. One involving corruption at high levels and a widespread institutional cover-up. Then things get much, much worse for both of them....Contains scenes of graphic violence, very strong language throughout, and deals with topics some listeners might find upsetting. ungekürzt.

Exodus: Empires at War, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 652min
Humanity's worst nightmare has again come out of the Dark. Can a human race in turmoil survive? When the human race faces extermination at the hands of an expanding species the last survivors travel 1,000 years to reestablish the race 10,000 years away. It is now a thousand years after the birth of the New Terran Empire. The race has aggressively expanded during that time, with a fleet that has never lost a war against an alien species. But the signs are there, the old enemy is back, and the Fleet will face its greatest challenge in a foe 50 times their size. Science fiction in the tradition of Anderson and Weber, where the physics of normal and hyperspace dictate the strategy and tactics. Enormous fleets battle across the immensity of space with advanced technologies. Can the proud human Fleet hold off the tide of an advancing enemy, rallying allies and deploying new tech? Or will the conquerors achieve what they could not 2,000 years before, and end the existence of the upstarts. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Finn Sterling.

1636: The Saxon Uprising , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 860min
Alternate history master Eric Flint returns in top form with an epic addition to the multiple New York Times best-selling Ring of Fire series. After carving a place for itself among the struggling powers of 17th-century Western Europe, the "out-of-time" modern town of Grantville, West Virginia, must fight for its life against Dark Age domination. A cosmic accident sets the modern town of Grantville, West Virginia, down in war-torn 17th century Europe, and a new nation is forged. Now, when United States of Europe ally King Gustavas of Sweden invades Poland, the US of E is dragged into a full-scale European war against ruthless opponents. Meanwhile Mike Stearns, wily and courageous leader of the up-time West Virginians, has been turned out of office in an election. But, like Churchill before (and after) him, Stearns is not done yet. He's determined to stoke the fires of democratic rebellion in Saxony near the main front and thus keep the young nation he founded, and once led, out of the hands of medieval tyrants - tyrants who would like nothing better than to wipe those troublesome upstarts from the future off the time line and go back to the bad old days of oppression and serfdom. ungekürzt.
