Nikola Tesla: Man or Spaceman? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min
New Saucerian presents a classic tome from the dawn of the New Age: Michael X's Tesla: Man or Spaceman? In the usual textbooks, we are told we know who Nikola Tesla really was, but we are only told that he discovered the principle for alternating current (the ordinary AC electricity in your home). What we are not told is that Tesla also carried out experiments and devised plans for inventions not only ahead of their time, but which would also - even today - be considered "science fiction". During his latter days, Tesla became more and more secretive about his inventions, even to his close friends and students. It is alleged that immediately after his death, his files were seized by the CIA. These secrets were locked away, and have only recently begun showing up again, in the form of "propellantless" technology innovations touted by NASA. Along the way, many UFO researchers were "hushed up" or "silenced" by the MIB, simply for "knowing too much" about propellantless craft like flying saucers. Just who is making the money off of Tesla's many inventions today? Who is responsible for the abductions of scores of UFO witnesses and researchers? Was Tesla somehow getting ideas for his inventions from interplanetary or interdimensional beings? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sonny Dufault.

Blood, Sweat and Chalk: Inside Football's Playbook: How the Great Coaches Built Today's Game , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 574min
The modern game of football is filled with plays and formations with names like the Counter Trey, the Wildcat, the Zone Blitz, and the Cover Two. They have become part of the sport's vernacular, and yet for many fans they remain just names, often confusing ones. To rectify that, Tim Layden has drilled deep into the core of the game to reveal how these chalkboard X's and O's really work on the field, as well as where they came from and who dreamed them up. These playbook schemes, many of them illuminated by diagrams, bear the insignia of some of the game's great innovators, men like Vince Lombardi, Don Coryell, Tom Osborne, Bill Walsh, Tony Dungy, and Buddy Ryan. But football has also been radically altered by the ingenious work of men with more obscure names, like Tiger Ellison, Emory Bellard, and Mouse Davis. In Blood, Sweat and Chalk, Layden takes readers into the meeting rooms - and in some cases the living rooms - where the game's most significant ideas were hatched. He goes to the coaches and to the players who inspired them, so they can tell their stories. In candid conversations with some of football's most intriguing characters, Layden provides a fascinating guide to the game, helping fans to better see the subtleties of America's favorite sport. ungekürzt.

X: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 536min
Co-written by Malcolm X's daughter, this riveting and revealing novel follows the formative years of the man whose words and actions shook the world. I am Malcolm. I am my father's son. But to be my father's son means that they will always come for me. They will always come for me, and I will always succumb. Malcolm Little's parents have always told him that he can achieve anything, but from what he can tell, that's nothing but a pack of lies - after all, his father's been murdered, his mother's been taken away, and his dreams of becoming a lawyer have gotten him laughed out of school. There's no point in trying, he figures, and lured by the nightlife of Boston and New York, he escapes into a world of fancy suits, jazz, girls, and reefer. But Malcolm's efforts to leave the past behind lead him into increasingly dangerous territory when what starts as some small-time hustling quickly spins out of control. Deep down, he knows that the freedom he's found is only an illusion - and that he can't run forever. X follows Malcolm from his childhood to his imprisonment for theft at age twenty, when he found the faith that would lead him to forge a new path and command a voice that still resonates today. ungekürzt.

Escape to Shangri-La: Is Hitler Still Alive?: The Inside Story of Nazi UFOs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
In Escape to Shangri-La, Michael X - the very first American researcher to write about Nazi UFOs - provides an overview of the situation. Using early 1950s articles from Police Gazette, Michael X was able to piece together the story - the escape of U-boats U-530 and U-977 from Nazi Germany. Hitler went to Argentina, where UFOs were being developed in secret underground installations by West German scientists. Meanwhile, American Nazi saucers were being developed in places like West Virginia and Area 51. The Nazi saucers were modeled on the silent "electromagnetic" or "bell" saucers built of copper by Viktor Schauberger, an Austrian inventor, in 1940. (Michael X's The German Saucer Story describes the Schriever-Habermohl and Bellonzo-Schriever-Miethe discs, concluding that German scientists were busy assembling large flying discs in underground factories around the world.) This is an exact facsimile of the original 1960 Saucerian edition, with all of the flavor of samizdat reports of the era, including artsy paste-up and a whimsical feel, despite the subject matter. This wonderful piece of vintage Americana makes a great addition to the shelf of today's serious ufologist. But more than that, it is a piece of history. Escape to Shangri-La provides details that may have been lost along the way - as the material in this book was spread and co-opted by so many other researchers. Here, however, is where it all began. Not long after Michael X made these revelations, he disappeared forever. Was he taken away by the saucers, or by the MIB? With time, and with increased consciousness about this corner of history, perhaps we will someday find out. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicholas Barker.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X
ONE OF TIME'S TEN MOST IMPORTANT NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY In the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published in 1964, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and anti-integrationist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Black Muslim movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American Dream, and the inherent racism in a society that denies its nonwhite citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time. The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America. Praise for The Autobiography of Malcolm X "Malcolm X's autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will."-Barack Obama "Extraordinary . . . a brilliant, painful, important book."-The New York Times "A great book . . . Its dead level honesty, its passion, its exalted purpose, will make it stand as a monument to the most painful truth."-The Nation "The most important book I'll ever read, it changed the way I thought, it changed the way I acted. It has given me courage I didn't know I had inside me. I'm one of hundreds of thousands whose lives were changed for the better."-Spike Lee "This book will have a permanent place in the literature of the Afro-American struggle."-I. F.

Any Means Necessary: The Life and Legacy of Malcolm X , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 80min
Our objective is complete freedom, justice and equality by any means necessary. (Malcolm X) At the height of the Civil Rights Movement, while much of the nation's attention was given to peaceful protests, boycotts, and figures like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., a young man named Malcolm Little was rising through the ranks to become one of the leaders and public faces of the Nation of Islam. As Malcolm X, he would come to be one of the most controversial figures in 20th century America, hailed as a bold human rights activist by some and reviled as a violent racist by others. What everyone can agree on, however, is that Malcolm X was one of the most influential Black leaders of the 20th century. After being imprisoned for crimes committed as a teenager, Malcolm X converted to Islam and joined the Nation of Islam while in jail. Once he was freed in 1952, he began a steady ascent to become the face of the Nation, a platform from which he gained notoriety for advocating the Nation's teachings about Black supremacy. Whereas Dr. King was pushing for fuller integration and desegregation, X and the Nation of Islam advocated total separation. Other Civil Rights organizations deemed X and the Nation to be too extremist, and in response, X labeled them "stooges". Today, one of the best known aspects of Malcolm X's life was his assassination in 1965 by members of the Nation of Islam, following his split from the group over differences with leader Elijah Muhammad. In addition to making a pilgrimage to Mecca, X continued to be politically active, founding a number of groups and speaking to many more in an attempt to heighten political awareness. This audiobook explains the origins of the name Malcolm X, and includes some of his most famous quotes and a detailed description of his "The Ballot or The Bullet" speech. ungekürzt.
