Day of the Cheetah, Hörbuch, Digital, 161min

A single pilot can fly the US Air Force's powerful fighter plane, DreamStar - and he's a KGB mole. Captain Kenneth Francis James - a.k.a. Andrei Maraklov - has been ordered to steal DreamStar, an XF-34 fighter that has the frightening ability to respond to its pilot's thoughts and issue its own commands. It's up to Lieutenant Colonel Patrick McLanahan - the hero of Dale Brown's earlier thriller, Flight of the Old Dog - to remove the DreamStar threat. McLanahan and his Air Force compatriots take up the challenge using a modified F-15E called Cheetah, which is designed to capture or destroy DreamStar. Read by actor Joseph Campanella, this nail-biting thriller is high-tech suspense at its best. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Campanella.

The Endless Journey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min

What would you be remembered for when you are dead and gone? Or what would you like to be written on your gravestone: "A peace maker" or "a troublemaker"? "A good man" or what? Guess what, "rest in peace" is not wished for, rather it's planned and worked for. "Rest in peace" is a ceremonial wish and it does not guarantee that you must surely rest in peace when you die, but if you want to rest in peace, it's now you will begin to work for it. Even if all the bishops gather to tell you "rest in peace" at your funeral, but you did not live a good life, you will rest in pieces, and not in peace. The Endless Journey reminds us that we are in transit. The world is not our home. But let me ask, how old are you? How many more years do you think you still have to live? Deduct the life you have lived from the one you still have to live, then how many more years or days do you think you still have to live? It's a very simple mathematics, but this one has no answer because no one has his life in his hands as to know the number of years he has to live. After listening to The Endless Journey, you will have a rethink, and it will help you to start amending your ways where you are not getting it right. So when do you think you will die? In case you are a designer, I'm not asking you to start designing the grave where you will be buried, but to start designing and amending your life. Where would you spend your eternity when you die? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dickie Thomas. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/077194/bk_acx0_077194_sample.mp3.

Gwendy's Button Box , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min

Includes a conversation between Stephen King and Richard Chizmar. Stephen King teams up with longtime friend and award-winning author Richard Chizmar for the first time in this original, chilling novella that revisits the town of Castle Rock - paired on audio with King's Edgar Award-nominated story 'The Music Room'. The little town of Castle Rock, Maine, has witnessed some strange events and unusual visitors over the years, but there is one story that has never been told...until now. There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of 1974, 12-year-old Gwendy Peterson has taken the stairs, which are held by strong (if time-rusted) iron bolts and zigzag up the cliffside. At the top of the stairs, Gwendy catches her breath and listens to the shouts of the kids on the playground. From a bit farther away comes the chink of an aluminium bat hitting a baseball as the Senior League kids practice for the Labour Day charity game. One day a stranger calls to Gwendy: 'Hey, girl. Come on over here for a bit. We ought to palaver, you and me.' On a bench in the shade sits a man in black jeans, a black coat like for a suit, and a white shirt unbuttoned at the top. On his head is a small, neat black hat. The time will come when Gwendy has nightmares about that hat.... Journey back to Castle Rock again in this chilling new novella by Stephen King, best-selling author of The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, and Richard Chizmar, award-winning author of A Long December. ungekürzt.

A Gentle Wizard , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min

An entertaining and personal introduction to Einstein's universe. Starting with a walk through Bern in 1905 and ending with the recent discovery of gravitational waves from colliding black holes, this book exposes the theory of relativity in an engaging style. This is a great science story for everyone and anyone.As a young boy, Jack is sent to deliver a set of pictures to a house on Princeton's Mercer Street. The house is quite ordinary, but the man who lives there is not. Far from it. It is Albert Einstein, perhaps the smartest man in the world. The man that bent space and warped time. The first chance meeting leads to an unexpected friendship. Jack becomes a regular visitor to the famous professor's home. Together they set out on a journey that explores the professor's ideas about space, time, and gravity. The journey takes them to the edge of reality, where clocks grind to a halt, and stars collapse onto themselves to form holes that aren't quite holes.This is a blend of fact and fiction. The science is very much real. So are most of the characters, including Einstein himself, his assistant Helen Dukas, Robert Oppenheimer, and John Wheeler. The story builds on things that actually happened, although, perhaps not in this particular order or involving precisely these individuals. Jack is entirely fictional. He had to be."Great fun. Great science. A compelling story for everyone." (Professor Ray d'Inverno, author of Introducing Einstein's Relativity) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Zeller.

Antony and Cleopatra , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min

Antony and Cleopatra is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written sometime between 1603 and 1607. It was first printed in the First Folio of 1623. The plot is based on Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's Life of Marcus Antonius and follows the relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony from the time of the Parthian War to Cleopatra's suicide. The major antagonist is Octavius Caesar, one of Antony's fellow triumviri and the future first emperor of Rome. The tragedy is a Roman play characterized by swift, panoramic shifts in geographical locations and in registers, alternating between sensual, imaginative Alexandria and the more pragmatic, austere Rome. Many consider the role of Cleopatra in this play one of the most complex female roles in Shakespeare's work. She is frequently vain and histrionic, provoking an audience almost to scorn; at the same time, Shakespeare's efforts invest both her and Antony with tragic grandeur. These contradictory features have led to famously divided critical responses. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sir Anthony Quayle.

Laugh and Live , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min

There is one thing in this good old world that is positively sure---happiness is for all who strive to be happy, and those who laugh are happy. Everybody is eligible---you, me, the other fellow. Happiness is fundamentally a state of mind, not a state of body. And mind controls. Indeed, it is possible to stand with one foot on the inevitable "banana peel" of life with both eyes peering into the Great Beyond and still be happy, comfortable, and serene---if we will even so much as smile."So goes the wisdom of silent film star Douglas Fairbanks, who, in addition to his movie career, wrote a number of self-help books. In Laugh and Live, which was originally published in 1917, he expounds upon his theories for living a good and happy life. Fairbanks's formula for happiness---humility, good humor, and particularly strenuous physical exercise---is enshrined in this and his other advice books. ungekürzt. Language: English.
