Doctor Who: The Empty House, Hörbuch, Digital, 68min
Thrown off course by a howling storm, the TARDIS lands in a bleak, desolate stretch of countryside. The Doctor deduces that it has arrived in Hampshire in the 1920s and, sniffing the air, he smells a distinct odour of sulphur - indicating that a spaceship has crashed in the area. While Rory goes to fetch an umbrella, Amy and the Doctor brave the rain to find the stricken craft. It is huge, shiny, silvery-blue - and completely empty. A set of footprints leads to a cosy-looking, old-fashioned cottage: but the house, too, is deserted. However, the Doctor and Amy can distinctly hear people talking - and one of the voices sounds like Rory's. How could he be in the cottage when he was last seen heading back to the TARDIS? Where are the residents of the empty house? And what has happened to the inhabitants of the spaceship? Raquel Cassidy reads this exclusive audio adventure featuring the Eleventh Doctor, Amy, and Rory. Language: English. Narrator: Raquel Cassidy.

Happy Woman Happy World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 243min
Chelette, a trainer, coach, and speaker imparts her proprietary strategies that can take any woman from being overwhelmed to awesome. She deduces that women can have it all, just not at the same time. Instead she offers her original concept of ego-RHYTHM, which allows women to delve into defining what is most important during their various stages of life, then teaches them how to set a main focus, re-structure their lives for better work-life balance, and put an end to the crazy-making lifestyle. In addition, she discusses the struggles of today's women in the workplace and how they sabotage career advancement, while addressing the culture of mean girls, the distasteful behavior that women perpetrate on each other which ultimately undercuts self-confidence and success. She introduces her philosophy of The Women's Code, which is nothing less than a completely new awareness of about how women relate to each other, and a new paradigm for teaching women how to find and give support and collaborate to truly achieve happiness with their lives. ungekürzt.

Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 52min
The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb, one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the ninth of the 12 stories collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The story was first published in Strand Magazine in March 1892. An engineer, Victor Hatherly, attends Dr. Watson's Surgery after his thumb is chopped off, and recounts his tale to Watson and Holmes. Hatherly had been hired for 50 guineas to repair a machine he was told compressed Fuller's earth into bricks. Hatherly was told to keep the job confidential, and was transported to the job in a carriage with frosted glass, to keep the location secret. He was shown the press, but on closer inspection discovered a "rust of metallic deposit" on the press, and he suspected it was not being used for compressing earth. He confronted his employer, who attacked him, and during his escape his thumb is chopped off. Holmes deduces that the press is being used to produce counterfeit coins, and works out its location. However, when they arrive, the house is on fire, and the criminals have escaped. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marc Smythe.
