Royal Flash, Hörbuch, Digital, 336min
In Volume II of the Flashman Papers, Flashman tangles with femme fatale Lola Montez and the dastardly Otto Von Bismarck in a battle of wits which will decide the destiny of a continent. In this volume of The Flashman Papers, Flashman, the arch-cad and toady, matches his wits, his talents for deceit and malice, and above all his speed in evasion against the most brilliant European statesman and against the most beauiful and unscrupulous adventuress of the era. From London gaming-halls and English hunting-fields to European dungeons and throne-rooms, he is involved in a desperate succession of escapes, disguises, amours and (when he cannot avoid them) hand-to-hand combats. All the while, the destiny of a continent rests on his broad and failing shoulders. Language: English. Narrator: Rupert Penry-Jones.

Your Death and How You Survive It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 187min
Our ancestors believed people survive death, because some people saw the evidence - and people talk. The evidence is spontaneous, sporadic and brief, like lightning, but less common, so stories were quickly exaggerated and became unbelievable. But in this haystack of superstition a needle of true evidence still lurks.This book identifies the evidence, defines survival, and provides plausible speculation about how it could happen without violating the known laws of physics. Processes of thought, consciousness, and of the quantum fields in which we live are considered, along with tangles in language that obscure these processes of nature.We all yearn to understand ourselves, others, and our entire universe, in order to know where we stand and to feel at home. Devotion to scientific method guides our search to true answers. This book will advance your search and help you feel comfortable with your death and how you survive it. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Rainbow's End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1016min
When three women die of "natural causes" in London and the West Country, there appears to be no connection - or reason to suspect foul play. But Scotland Yard Superintendent Richard Jury has other ideas, and before long he’s following his keen police instincts all the way to Santa Fe, New Mexico. There, in the company of a brooding 13-year-old girl and her pet coyote, he mingles with an odd assortment of characters and tangles with a twisted plot that stretches from England to the American Southwest. And while his good friend Melrose Plant pursues inquires in London, Jury delves deeper into the more baffling elements of the case, discovering firsthand what the guide books don’t tell you: That the Land of Enchantment is also a landscape ripe with tragedy, treachery, and murder. ungekürzt.
