Edge of Infinity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 661min
Those were Neil Armstrong's immortal words when he became the first human being to step onto another world. All at once, the horizon expanded; the human race was no longer Earthbound. Edge of Infinity is an exhilarating new SF anthology that looks at the next giant leap for humankind: the leap from our home world out into the solar system. From the eerie transformations in Pat Cadigan's Hugo-award-winning "The Girl-Thing Who Went Out for Sushi" to the frontier spirit of Sandra McDonald and Stephen D. Covey's "The Road to NPS", and from the grandiose vision of Alastair Reynolds' "Vainglory" to the workaday familiarity of Kristine Kathryn Rusch's "Safety Tests", the 13 stories in this anthology span the whole of the human condition in their race to colonize Earth's nearest neighbors. Featuring stories by Hannu Rajaniemi, Alastair Reynolds, James S. A. Corey, John Barnes, Stephen Baxter, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Elizabeth Bear, Pat Cadigan, Gwyneth Jones, Paul McAuley, Sandra McDonald, Stephen D. Covey, An Owomoyela, and Bruce Sterling, Edge of Infinity is hard SF adventure at its best and most exhilarating. Author bio: Jonathan Strahan is an editor and anthologist.

Old Venus: A Collection of Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1337min
Sixteen all-new stories by science fiction's top talents, collected by best-selling author George R. R. Martin and multiple-award-winning editor Gardner Dozois. From pulp adventures such as Edgar Rice Burroughs' Carson of Venus to classic short stories such as Ray Bradbury's "The Long Rain" to visionary novels such as C. S. Lewis' Perelandra, the planet Venus has loomed almost as large in the imaginations of science fiction writers as Earth's next-nearest neighbor, Mars. But while the Red Planet conjured up in golden-age science-fiction stories was a place of vast deserts and ruined cities, bright-blue Venus was its polar opposite: a steamy, swampy jungle world with strange creatures lurking amid the dripping vegetation. Alas, just as the last century's space probes exploded our dreams of Mars, so too did they shatter our romantic visions of Venus, revealing, instead of a lush paradise, a hellish world inimical to all life. But don't despair! This new anthology of 16 original stories by some of science fiction's best writers - edited by number-one New York Times best-selling author George R. R. Martin and award-winning editor Gardner Dozois - turns back the clock to that more innocent time, before the hard-won knowledge of science vanquished the infinite possibilities of the imagination. Featuring all-new stories by: Eleanor Arnason Elizabeth Bear David Brin Tobias S. Buckell Michael Cassutt Joe Haldeman Matthew Hughes Gwyneth Jones Joe R.

Asante Sana (Thank You Very Much!): Life Lessons from Kili , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min
Will they make it to the Roof of Africa? How and why did the McAuleys prepare for the trip-of-a-lifetime to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania with an elevation of 19,341 feet/5,791 meters? Their inspirational travelogue began with a planned meeting with their sponsored child, Beatrice, a young teenager they’d written to for nine years through Compassion International. It ended with meeting servant leaders who brought them in and out of Kilimanjaro National Park in August 2017. Share in their six-day trek on the Rongai Route with two dozen other Compassion Sponsors who became their Kili Family for life. This nonfiction book includes research of faith-based nonprofits, Water and Sanitation Hygiene (WaSH) programs, and Compassion child sponsorship in Tanzania, Africa. The McAuleys shared their tips on training and packing for this unique encounter. Cheryl's ten lessons learned provide the reader with her perspective of life as a result of her mountaineering experience. Dr. McAuley also included five academic studies she found while researching material for this book that involved Kili summitteers from around the world. She conducted research of her own by surveying her trekmates about all aspects of the experience: spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional preparation, what happened to them on summit night, and what they recommend to future trekkers. She also highlighted servant leadership in her book, and how organizations can benefit from this leadership style. Cheryl hopes this book will help others who may be considering sponsoring a child or climbing Kilimanjaro, two activities that are well worth the effort. Living life to the fullest in retirement can change lives. The proceeds from this book will go to Compassion International’s WaSH programs in Africa.

We stand at the beginning of one of the greatest ecological disasters in the time of Man. The world is warming and seas are rising. We may deny it, but we can't hide when the water comes.

And yet water is life. It brings change. Where one thing is wiped away, another rises in its place. There has always been romance and adventure in the streets of a drowned London or on gorgeous sailing cities spanning a submerged world, sleek ships exploring as land gets ever rarer. Drowned Worlds looks at the future we might have if the oceans rise, good or bad. Here you'll find stories of action, adventure, romance, and, yes, warning and apocalypse. Stories inspired by Ballard's The Drowned World, Sterling's Islands in the Net, and Ryman's The Child Garden. Stories that allow that things may get worse, but remembers that such times also bring out the best in us all.
