    The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (Dramatised) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 169min
    Simon Russell Beale stars in this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of John le Carré's novel, which introduced his most famous character, George Smiley. It is 1962: the height of the Cold War and only months after the building of the Berlin Wall. Alec Leamas is a hard-working, hard-drinking British intelligence officer whose East Berlin network is in tatters. His agents are either on the run or dead, victims of the ruthlessly efficient East German counter-intelligence officer Hans-Dieter Mundt. Leamas is recalled to London where, to his surprise, instead of being washed up and consigned to a desk he's offered a chance to have his revenge by becoming a pawn in a brilliantly-conceived plot to destroy Mundt. But in order to do so he has to stay out in the cold a little longer... Starring the award-winning Simon Russell Beale as Smiley, and with a distinguished cast including Brian Cox as Alec Leamas, this tense, compelling dramatisation perfectly captures the atmosphere of le Carré's taut, intricate thriller. ungekürzt.

    To save humanity from being consigned to oblivion and to prevent war between elves and men, Eltanin, the first and greatest wizard there ever was, performed a terrible ritual that shattered the one world into two. For 20,000 years the two dimensions, unknown to each other, existed side by side. Aralia, home to the elfin race known as the Ferrishyn, and Earth, home to humanity, are both weakening. On Aralia, Magick is fading and will extinguish unless the two worlds are reunited. On Earth, hidden to humanity, the Clave, a council of dark wizards hell bent on control, would prevent the worlds from being healed. But Eltanin left a prophecy that one would come, the Son of Luminance who would restore the worlds. Now young Azriel, exiled to Earth and unaware of his destiny, must discover who he is and learn the secrets of the dragon elementals before he can reunite Earth and Aralia. Azriel, the descendant of Eltanin, must unleash his true potential as a sorcerer and heal the worlds, for if he does not, there will be no other to fulfill the prophecy. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A New Vision: Ambler's Travels, Volume 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 371min
    Alec McCandless created a new national political party. He nominates himself for the Presidency. He runs a slugfest campaign against political corruption, and is elected to the office of President of the New American Republic in a landslide. Using the New Constitution that he had helped write, Alec immediately seizes the reins of The Executive political, economic, judicial and military powers. He gathers both ‘de jure’ and ‘de facto’ controls to himself. The criminals and ‘wrong-headed’ governmental parasites were swiftly removed from their offices and consigned to house arrest, chain-gang labor, or executed. Broad economic changes were force fed through all channels of government, reaching from small farms to giant industries, and even to foreign relations. Alec McCandless “revolutionized” government personally, with the force of his personality and convictions, at lightning quick speed. Dramatic changes were realized within months, and the new order was arranged according to his new vision. That new vision changed our nation, our people, and our government into a more conservative, protective, secure State. Alec McCandless, saw it, created it, and built it to last. We the People are The New American Republic. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Linda Velwest. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/015114/bk_acx0_015114_sample.mp3.
