American Empire: The Center Cannot Hold , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1476min
Harry Turtledove, Ph.D., critically acclaimed novelist and "Master of Alternative History," enriches his compelling narratives with authentic period details. In this enthralling epic begun by Sidewise Award winner How Few Remain and continued in Blood & Iron, the Great Depression devours the Roaring Twenties - leaving the USA and the CSA vulnerable. As the Socialist Party battles Coolidge to retain the presidency in 1924, it seems as if it can do no wrong. The stock market soars, and the USA prospers. Although victors in the War of Secession, the CSA still reels from its loss of the Great War while the Freedom Party promises new vigor and pride. But should these gray-shirted fascists seize power, they may prove dangerous. Sharing world supremacy with Germany and bloated with prosperity, the USA fails to notice ominous events inside the weakened CSA. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Guidall.

But the Indigo vaccine is always in short supply, exacerbated by attacks by thieves who wish to steal it for themselves, capitalizing on its scarcity to generate profits and pull apart the very fabric of society. After surviving such an attack, 15-year-old Kai Bradbury is declared an enemy of the state by the feds. Captured by the Lost Boys--the world's deadliest band of misfits--he must find a way to escape, prove his innocence, and save those he loves before it's too late.
