Panglor: Star Rigger, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min

Wrongly discredited as a space pilot, Panglor Balef is doomed to die in space, if sheer luck doesn’t bring him through. But luck has never been in Panglor’s cards. Bad enough to be coerced into a mission of murder and suicide, he must also contend with Alo - a young woman, stowaway, and impossible companion. Neither of them, nor his empathic ou-ralot, could possibly anticipate the journey through space-time they are about to embark on, through a door to an insane reality from which there is almost certainly no return. It could be the discovery of the millennium, but the only way home is to journey even further into the heart of madness. The stunning prequel to the famed Star Rigger Universe of Jeffrey A. Carver, Nebula-nominated author of Eternity’s End and The Chaos Chronicles. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mirron Willis.

The Fast Plates , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 138min

Tom McCay's expert story telling envelops you like the embrace of a warm fireside on a cold winter's night. In fact, this novelette was conceived in the hemlock and hardwood-filled Sipsey Wilderness of Bankhead Forest in North Alabama. Tom's clever and distinctly southern idiomatic language makes each sentence crackle with imagery and artifice. Equal parts Stephen King and Shelby Foote, he transports us from the present to the past in seconds. This first person narrative is so plausibly explained that one never doubts the validity of its central premise. In The Fast Plates, Tom McCay spins a yarn about a ne'er-do-well somewhat recently discredited master craftsman of ersatz civil war artifacts who comes across the single most important genuine find of his life. After he's been exposed, what can he do when he gets his hands on the real thing? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thomas R. McCay.

A Name in Blood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 578min

Italy, 1605: For the ruling Borgia family, Rome is a place of grand palazzos and frescoed cathedrals. For the lowly artist Caravaggio, it is a place of rough bars, knife fights, and grubby whores.

But when he falls for Lena, a lowborn fruit-seller, and paints her into his Madonna series, Italian society is outraged.

Every Man Should Try": Adventures of a Public Interest Activist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 767min

Jeremy Stone, a renowned, almost Zelig-like figure in the world of public interest activism offers his antic, wry and moving memoirs of a life spent trying to make the world a better place. There probably isn't another human being who's been involved with more issues as an activist than Jeremy Stone. During his tenure as head of the 2,000 member Federation of American Scientists, Stone has been involved with just about every major activist issue of the past quarter century. He was crucial in freeing Sakharov; influential in getting arms control treaties signed; the secret force behind the arrest of the Shining Paths leader; the man who helped save Cambodia from a return of the Khmer Rouge; the scientist who discredited the sonic boom scare; and the one person who just might have an idea that brings peace to Kosovo. John F. Kennedy once said, "Not every man can make a difference, but every man should try". Jeremy Stone took JFK up on his word, and this book is a wonderful memoir of his wild, sometimes successful, heartening life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roberto Scarlato.

The Korean War and The Vietnam War: The United States at War Series, Hörbuch, Digital, 323min

Following World War II, the United States and Soviet Russia vied for dominance around the world in an intense contest called the Cold War. Both Korea and Vietnam felt the full brunt of this conflict, and each was divided into two ideologically opposed sectors; to the north, the Communists dominated, while to the south, the United States prevailed. In both countries, America would face her worst nightmare: a land war in Asia. It began in Korea but continued in Vietnam, where more than 58 thousand Americans would die. During the course of the Vietnam War, one American president was assassinated, another declined to seek reelection, and a third was discredited. Just as the fabric of society in Vietnam was torn to shreds by the continued political upheaval, so too was our own world powerfully reshaped. The United States at War series is a collection of presentations that review the political, economic, and social tensions that have erupted in military conflict and examine how the conflict resolved, or failed to resolve, those tensions.

Everybody Is Wrong About God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 490min

A call to action to address people's psychological and social motives for a belief in god, rather than debate the existence of god. With every argument for theism long since discredited, the result is that atheism has become little more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs. Thus, engaging in interminable debate with religious believers about the existence of god has become exactly the wrong way for nonbelievers to try to deal with misguided - and often dangerous - belief in a higher power. The key, author James Lindsay argues, is to stop that particular conversation. He demonstrates that whenever people say they believe in "god", they are really telling us that they have certain psychological and social needs that they do not know how to meet. Lindsay then provides more productive avenues of discussion and action. Once nonbelievers understand this simple point, and drop the very label of atheist, will they be able to change the way we all think about, talk about, and act upon the troublesome notion called "god". ungekürzt.
