    Darwin's "On the Origin of Species": A Modern Rendition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 799min
    Charles Darwin's most famous book On the Origin of Species is without question, one of the most important books ever written. While even the grandest works of Victorian English can prove difficult to modern readers, Darwin wrote his text in haste and under intense pressure. For an era in which Darwin is more talked about than read, Daniel Duzdevich offers a clear, modern English rendering of Darwin's first edition. Neither an abridgement nor a summary, this version might best be described as a "translation" for contemporary English listeners. A monument to reasoned insight, the Origin illustrates the value of extensive reflection, carefully gathered evidence, and sound scientific reasoning. By removing the linguistic barriers to understanding and appreciating the Origin, this edition aims to bring 21st-century listeners into closer contact with Darwin's revolutionary ideas. ungekürzt.

    The Last Legends of Earth: A Radix Tetrad Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1214min
    Seven billion years from now, long after the Sun has died and human life itself has become extinct, alien beings reincarnate humanity from our fossilized DNA drifting as debris in the void of deep space.

Set in the artificial planetary system of Chalco-Doror, which is no more and no less than a vast cosmic machine, The Last Legends of Earth is a love story, a gripping saga of struggle against alien control, and an examination of the machinery of creation and destruction. Above all, it is world-building of the highest and grandest order, on a scale rarely seen in science fiction since the great works of Olaf Stapledon. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Gilmore. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/003407/bk_acx0_003407_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
