    Shadrach in the Furnace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 642min
    In the 21st century, a battered world is ruled by a crafty old tyrant, Genghis II Mao IV Khan. The Khan is 93 yers old, his life systems sustained by the skill of Mordecai Shadrach, a brilliant young surgeon whose chief function is to replace the Khan’s worn-out organs. Within the vast tower-complex, the most advanced equipment is dedicated to three top-priority projects, each designed to keep the Khan immortal. Most sinister of these is Project Avatar, by which the Khan’s mind and persona are to be transferred to a younger body. Shadrach makes the unsettling discovery that it is his body that is to be used. His friends beg him to flee, but he refuses to panic. Instead, and with startling composure, he evolves a dangerous plan that could change the face of the earth or, if it backfires, mean the end of life. Shadrach in the Furnace is at once a broad, sweeping novel and a harsh, abrasive, irreverent book about a life-and-death battle between two titans - one the epitome of evil, the other a paragon of idealism - in a society pushed to extremes. ungekürzt.

    Blank: Mind the Gap , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 432min
    A grippingly well told story. (Craig Berkman) No one could have imagined there was worse to come. Former Australian special forces soldier Stone Luckman never dreamed he could put his troubled past behind him. In a search for survivors, Luckman rescues marooned surfer Mel Palace from a collapsing Gold Coast high rise. She tells him she's been expecting him for weeks. Later, she claims she can read minds. If his own insanity meter wasn't off the register, he'd suspect she had a screw loose. But then lately he's been having visions of an Aboriginal spirit man who is strangely connected to global events. There are those who say Earth has fallen victim to a terrible act of God. To China and America, however, it's a declaration of war. Each accuses the other of being responsible. The head of Australian defense intelligence sets Luckman a secret task aimed at ending the threat of war, but if it backfires he'll be branded a terrorist and left on his own to take the rap. Luckman is compelled to take Mel on the journey, though for the life of him he doesn't know why. He's about to find out. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Eaton.

    The Frog Princess: A Traditional Fairy Story from Poland , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min
    A.J. Glinski was to Poland what the Brothers Grimm were to Germany. He travelled the country and collected folk legends and fairy tales and wrote them down exactly as they were told to him by local peasants. This Frog Princess is part of the collection of traditional folk tales which he first published in 1862. A king has three sons and is determined that one shall be his heir - but which? He orders them to marry and decrees that the one who picks the best wife shall be the next king. The youngest finds himself marrying a frog, against his better judgement. But when it turns out that the frog is extraordinarily gifted in such skills as carpet weaving and baking, he looks like winning the contest to be king. His frog princess is indeed a real princess under a magic spell - but his attempt to break the spell and keep his bride in human form backfires. His bride transforms herself into a duck and flies away. A lengthy quest and many adventures follow before he is able to regain his lost bride. Absolutely enchanting! ungekürzt. Language: English.
