    The Smoke Ring: The State Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    In the free-fall environment of the Smoke Ring, descendants of the crew of the Discipline no longer remember their Earth roots or the existence of Sharls Davis Kendy, the computer-program despot of the ship - until Kendy initiates contact once more. Fourteen years later, only Jeffer, the Citizens Tree Scientist, knows that Kendy is still watching and waiting. Then, when the Citizens Tree people rescue a family of loggers, they learn for the first time of the Admiralty, a large society living in free fall amid the floating debris called the Clump. It is likely that the Admiralty has maintained, intact, Discipline's original computer library. Exploration is a temptation neither Jeffer nor Kendy can resist, and neither Citizens Tree nor Sharls Davis Kendy will ever be the same again. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Weiner.

    The Persian Wars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1763min
    Unquestionably, Herodotus has left mankind one of the world's greatest works of literature. The Persian Wars is part history, part geography, part anthropology...and completely entertaining. It possesses a charm that is legendary. But, over and above this, Herodotus has succeeded for all time in brilliantly expressing the conflict between the ideal of the free man defending his liberty within a state based on the rule of law, and that of the despot who bases his rule on brute force and whose subjects are considered slaves. In his writing we experience the impact of that great intellectual, moral, and ethical force that set the Greeks apart from the rest of the Ancient World. The Persian Wars is a magnificent epic of human triumph over the forces of tyranny, of the struggle over two diametrically opposed concepts of government...between which man must still choose today. ungekürzt.

    Making Love with the Light On or Off, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
    We should be comfortable with the choices we make for the right reasons. Granted not all choices offer a simple solution and degrees of compromise come into play unless you are a dictator or a despot. Assuming you are neither then there is a very wide range of choices you can make which can seriously affect your life to make it better or not so good. Whilst it's noble to be thoughtful and kindly towards others (not everyone deserves it - especially deeply religious people) if you don't put yourself firmly in the equation then you are forever going to be disadvantaged and that in itself will cause you to be both under par in life and not able to exercise your whole abilities. For those who find it difficult to make decisions regarding the involvement of others this audio download is for you. Language: English. Narrator: Mr John Stewart Rushton.
