    The Difference Engine (eBook, ePUB)
    1855: The Industrial Revolution is in full and inexorable swing, powered by steam-driven cybernetic Engines. Charles Babbage perfects his Analytical Engine and the computer age arrives a century ahead of its time. And three extraordinary characters race toward a rendezvous with history-and the future: Sybil Gerard-a fallen woman, politician's tart, daughter of a Luddite agitator Edward "Leviathan" Mallory-explorer and paleontologist Laurence Oliphant-diplomat, mystic, and spy. Their adventure begins with the discovery of a box of punched Engine cards of unknown origin and purpose. Cards someone wants badly enough to kill for…. Part detective story, part historical thriller, The Difference Engine is the collaborative masterpiece by two of the most acclaimed science fiction authors writing today. Provocative, compelling, intensely imagined, it is a startling extension of Gibson's and Sterling's unique visions-and the beginning of movement we know today as "steampunk!"

    Michael Rosen's Sad Book
    A heartbreakingly honest account of a father's grief for his son from the illustrious pairing of two former Children's Laureates.Very occasionally the term non-fiction has to stretch itself to accommodate a book that fits into no category at all. Michael Rosen's Sad Book is such a book. It chronicles Michael's grief at the death of his son Eddie from meningitis at the age of 19. A moving combination of sincerity and simplicity, it acknowledges that sadness is not always avoidable or reasonable and perfects the art of making complicated feelings plain. It wasn't made like any other book either; Michael Rosen said of the text, " I wrote it at a moment of extreme feeling and it went straight down onto the page ... Quentin didn't illustrate it, he 'realized' it. He turned the text into a book and as a result showed me back to myself. No writer could ask and get more than that." And Quentin Blake says that the picture of Michael "being sad but trying to look happy" is the most difficult drawing he's ever done... "a moving experience."

    Trapped in a dead man’s office, Don Diavolo plans his greatest escape. This collection brings together two adventures with Don Diavolo, the Scarlet Wizard. The first opens in his machinist’s workshop, where Diavolo perfects his newest feat: the Escape from the Double Crystal Water Casket. The men lurking outside have no interest in the magician’s secrets - they are detectives, tailing him on behalf of the police inspector. Giving them the slip is no trouble, but it proves a mistake, for Diavolo is about to be implicated in a murder. Diavolo is blackjacked as soon as he walks through the circus owner’s door, awaking just in time to be found standing over the corpse. To prove his innocence, the Scarlet Wizard must escape a trap more cunning than any crystal casket. His next adventure begins when an explorer lands at La Guardia airport, returning from India with a secret for which many men will die. Before Don Diavolo can unmask the killer, he must unlock the perplexing puzzle of the vanishing corpse. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grover Gardner.

    Crisis Point , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
    Why is rolling news showing footage of US Marines holding off an armed assault on the White House? Where have the Secret Service taken the President and why has the Vice President invoked the 25th Amendment? Why has US Space Command mobilized its strategic reserve and put it into orbit? Crisis Point is a stand-alone novella set in the same near-future world as Perfects (published late 2016). It tells the story of a military conspiracy reaching to the top of the US Military to subvert the democratically elected US President. This is a future where some Americans have realized that spending their blood and treasure as the world’s policemen hasn’t been effective and have decided that someone else should take a turn. In the middle of the 21st century Mike Duff is a career officer of US Space Force. The military are getting cut, and the defense contractors aren't happy about it. Mike is a patriotic American, loyal to the Constitution and proud of his country, but he doesn't like what he sees the politicians doing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Westphalen.
