Axis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 644min

Wildly praised by readers and critics alike, Robert Charles Wilson's Spin won science fiction's highest honor, the Hugo Award, for Best Novel. Now, in Spin's direct sequel, Wilson takes us to the "world next door" - the planet engineered by the mysterious Hypotheticals to support human life, and connected to Earth by way of the Arch that towers hundreds of miles over the Indian Ocean. Humans are colonizing this new world - and, predictably, fiercely exploiting its resources, chiefly large deposits of oil in the western deserts of the continent of Equatoria. Lise Adams is a young woman attempting to uncover the mystery of her father's disappearance 10 years earlier. Turk Findley is an ex-sailor and sometimes-drifter. They come together when an infall of cometary dust seeds the planet with tiny remnant Hypothetical machines. Soon, this seemingly hospitable world will become very alien indeed - as the nature of time is once again twisted, by entities unknown. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Brick.

Survival Quest: Way of the Shaman Series # 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 684min

Barliona: a virtual world jam-packed with monsters, battles - and, predictably, players. Millions of them come to Barliona, looking forward to the things they can't get in real life: elves and magic, dragons and princesses, and unforgettable combat. The game has become so popular that players now choose to spend months online without returning home. In Barliona, anything goes: You can assault fellow players, level up, become a mythical hero, a wizard, or a legendary thief. The only rule that attempted to regulate the game demanded that no player be allowed to feel actual pain. But there's an exception to every rule. For a certain bunch of players, Barliona has become their personal hell. They are criminals sent to Barliona to serve their time. They aren't in it for the dragons' gold or the abundant loot. All they want is to survive the virtual inferno. They face the ultimate survival quest. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Yen.

Hedge Britannia: A Curious History of a British Obsession , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 511min

This is the story of how British hedgerows contribute to our national identity and our wildlife. Over the centuries we have proved ourselves to be a nation of hedge growers, marking boundaries or trimming them into fantastical creations. From formal garden features to emphatically rustic barriers, Hugh explores our hedges in all their diversity. Hedge Britannia offers a witty insight into the history of hedges and the way they relate to our culture as well as our landscape. Hugh travels the breadth of Britain meeting fellow enthusiasts who range from horticultural experts to the Brixton man who lovingly cultivated a whale-shaped hedge and ran into trouble with the local council. There are case studies about hedges of particular note, like the towering Meikleour beech hedge, the castellated hedge and spectacular topiary at Levens Hall and the bamboozling hedge maze at Chatsworth (where Hugh got predictably and happily lost). Both pithy and informative, this is The Cloudspotter's Guide meets Flora Britannica. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric Brooks.

Life in a Psychedelic Church: Memories and Musings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 517min

Jack Call gives a detailed account of what his life was like during the years from 1972 through 1978, as a follower of Art Kleps, the Chief Boo Hoo of the Neo-American Church, whose members subscribe to the belief that psychedelics such as LSD are sacraments, in that they encourage the realization that life is a dream.This true story has many surprising twists and turns, but ends, predictably in hindsight, in disillusionment. It has now been 42 years since Call left the church, questioning Kleps's professed philosophy of solipsistic nihilism but still thinking that he agreed with Kleps's rejection of supernaturalism.Those years of living and thinking have made a difference, though, and he now reflects on the thinking of some of the other important philosophers on the topic of psychedelics and religion and explains his view that psychedelic experience is more consistent with the deep truths of Christianity than with any atheistic philosophy or East Asian religious tradition. He thus gives a forward looking meaning to the phrase, “life in a psychedelic church". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary J. Chambers.

Murder at the Cat Show: The Perkins & Tate Mysteries, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 350min

Doug Perkins doesn't dislike cats - he just isn't especially interested in them. But the struggling young London public relations firm Perkins and Tate can't afford to be choosy about the jobs they take. So when Doug is asked to do the PR for a glorified feline extravaganza called Cats Through the Ages, he doesn't hesitate. But it isn't long before he wishes he had hesitated. There are some very valuable cats on exhibit - even a few feline celebrities. Then the robbery of a gold statue of Dick Whittington's cat sets nerves on edge. The theft is not exactly a PR man's dream, but this disaster pales in comparison to the gruesome murder that follows. Someone has knocked unconscious the show's organizer, the universally despised Rose Chesne-Malverne, and pushed her into a cage with a pair of feral tigers fancifully named Pyramus and Thisbe - with predictably fatal results. Now it's up to Doug to find an elusive killer who appears to have nine lives of his own. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Crossley.

Beryl Cook: Studies in World Art, Book 113 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 9min

When Beryl Cook died, she was the subject of a large number of obituaries. Some of them were predictably condescending, which I suspect she would not have minded a bit. The really telling thing, however, is what has happened since then on the web. If you go to the site maintained by The Times, still regarded as the British paper of record, and look for the paper’s obituary archive, you will find a section within it devoted to "Artistic Genius". The subtitle is "Artists and makers who changed the way we see". And what is the illustration that the site’s designers have chosen to head this section? A self portrait by Beryl Cook. Further down the computer screen are Robert Rauschenberg, Jörg Immendorf, Sol LewItt, Bernard Meadows, Patrick Caulfield, Eduardo Paolozzi, Agnes Martin, Allan Kaprow, and Nam June Paik, but Beryl lords it triumphantly over them all. Without, I think, actually meaning to tell us this, The Times, in its Internet incarnation, has made a valid point. Beryl was one of the most completely recognizable artists of her epoch - at any rate here in Britain. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Spring.

A Chance to Win: Boyhood, Baseball, and the Struggle for Redemption in the Inner City , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 607min

A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist follows an embattled Little League team in inner-city Newark, revealing the complex realities of life in one of America's most dangerous cities. When Rodney Mason, an ex-con drug dealer from Newark's rough South Ward, was shot and paralyzed, he vowed to turn his life around. A former high-school pitching ace with a 93-mph fastball, Mason decided to form a Little League team to help boys avoid the street life that had claimed his youth and mobility. Predictably, the players struggle - they endure poverty, unstable family lives with few positive male role models, failing schools, and dangerous neighborhoods - but through the fists and tears, lopsided losses and rare victories, this bunch of misfits becomes a team, and in doing so gives the community something to root for. With in-depth reporting, fascinating characters, and vivid prose, Jonathan Schuppe's book is both a penetrating, true-to-life portrait of what's at stake for kids growing up poor in America's inner cities and a portrait of Newark itself, a struggling city that has recently known great hope as well as failure. ungekürzt.
