    Master and Commander: Ocean of Storms Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 659min
    Master and Commander follows the action, the warriors, and the warships of the Moon in 2142. As the Earth is being devastated by a viral pandemic, the Moon has become a sanctuary for humanity. The plague is only one of the many enemies. However, the new Lunar nation states have chosen sides to continue the ancient battle between Western and Islamic culture. While fighting for survival, great lunar warships rage against each other individual battles and sweeping fleet actions reminiscent of Horatio Nelson of the late 18th century.The book follows Jack Aston and his ship, Sofia, in their first sea trial, a test for the ship as well as the new commander and her crew. Jack discovers the isolation of command, the burden of responsibility, and the complexities of leadership. Jack meets Steven Montrossa during his time in port in the great domed city of Port Plato, the first metropolis to be terraformed and sealed from the lunar vacuum. Jack and Steven do not start as immediate friends. The personalities of an archetypal naval commander and a gifted iconoclastic scientist struggle to find complimentary elements. During their stay in Port Plato, they begin to find the connections that will eventually grow into mutual respect and an enduring friendship.     Maria Domingo joins the Sofia as her First Officer. Domingo is an excellent officer with a stellar record, but promotion to commander has alluded her. She will be a fine addition to Ashton’s staff aboard the Sofia. She feels she is Jack’s equal, however, and this attitude strains their relationship but eventually evolves into an impressive military partnership. Montrosa and Domingo’s romance as teenagers on Earth remains vague and somewhat mysterious. It remains as romantic tension throughout the book. Steven seems to want to rekindle the relationship while Maria stays distant within the protection of her rank and naval protocol. ungekürzt.

    UFOs and Close Encounters: Interviews, Volume 1, Hörbuch, Digital, 39min
    An amazing collection of interviews with highly credible investigators and witnesses of UFO encounters. George Adamski: George Adamski (April 17, 1891- April 23, 1965) was a Polish-born American citizen who became widely known in ufology circles, and to some degree in popular culture, after he claimed to have photographed ships from other planets, met with friendly "Space Brothers", and to have taken flights with them. The first of the so-called contactees of the 1950s, he styled himself to be a "philosopher, teacher, student, and saucer researcher". Daniel Fry: An American contactee who claimed he had multiple contacts with an alien and took a ride in a remotely piloted alien spacecraft on July 4, 1949. George Van Tassle: A contactee, ufologist, and paranormal research leader who, in 1958, commenced building - but never completed - the Integratron, in the desert town of Landers, California. It was supposedly a domed time/energy machine built partially upon the theories of Nikola Tesla. Orfeo Angelucci: One of the most unusual of the mid-1950s contactees who claimed to be in contact with extraterrestrials. Dan Martin: A 1955 Texas contactee who, according to Long John Nebel, a radio talk-show host of the day who knew and interviewed most of them, "was at the other end of the spectrum from Orfeo Angelucci." Frank Edwards: After World War II, the Mutual Broadcasting System hired Edwards to host a nationwide news and opinion program sponsored by the American Federation of Labor. Edwards' program was a success, and became nationally popular. An American writer and broadcaster, and one of the pioneers of radio, late in his life, he became well known for a series of books about UFOs. Donald Keyhoe: Well known as an engaged, knowledgeable UFO researcher, arguing that the U.S. government should conduct appropriate research in UFO matters and should release all their UFO files. Language: English. Narrator: George Adamski, Daniel Fry, George Van Tassle, Orfeo Angelucci, Dan Martin, Frank Edwards, Donald Keyhoe.

    2036: The Year Trump Stepped Down!: A Horrifying, Factual Account Sent Back in Time (Through 3 Black Holes) to Some Random, Hack Writer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 223min
    2036: The Year Trump Stepped Down is the hilarious and quirky futuristic story of America after enduring 20 years with Donald TXXXP and his family running the show. The good news is, you’ll never have to read the TXXXP name since this book redacts it every time (but this is the audiobook, so maybe there is no good news - you'll just have to listen to find out). The bad news is, the country is a catastrophic mess, a barren wasteland similar to the Old West, except now both coasts, East and West, are completely gone! America in 2036 is a place where only two types of people exist: the have-nots and the rich. The have-nots must gut it out every day in the dangerous outdoors (suffering other-worldly and disastrous weather patterns along with the better-than-likely chance of getting shot for any reason at all). The rich reside in the 10 domed capital cities, all of them able to withstand any weather catastrophe from the outside world, and they receive every penny of the Administration’s coffers to support their own homes, these 10 examples of human ingenuity, these 10-mile-wide luxury domes called the capital cities. In the novella, an array of six different groups of people from every walk of life in 2036 America strive to survive the frequent world-shaking events of the day, and all the while desperately trying to figure out what happened to the entire Southern Hemisphere (which, rumor has it, is missing). To uncover the answers, the book takes its listener into the jaw-dropping, comical, and satirical world of the TXXXP “Regime” (as they’re now called), including the nonrepentant KellyaXXX CXXXXY and the sociopathic Stephen MXXXER amongst others. In short, the world has become a ludicrous wasteland only 16 years from our present day. 2036: The Year Trump Stepped Down is a fun, often-deep, and oft-hilarious pause-resister (which can be consumed easily in one day at the beach) (without the kids) that takes its listener into the heart of a ungekürzt.

    Hunter Killer: War on the High Seas of the Moon : Ocean of Storms , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 655min
    Hunter Killer is the second volume of the Ocean of Storms series. The first book in the series is Master and Commander, the introduction to the newly minted commander of the warship, RTS Sofia. It continues the exploits of Captain Jack Ashton, Doctor Steven Montrosa, Lieutenant Maria Domingo and the crew of the Sofia. Jack Ashton, a commander in the Navy of the Republic of Texas, is given an independent cruise to search out and destroy the enemy in the no-man’s land between the borders of the Republic of Texas, the Islamic State, and the African Federation. Hunter Killer follows the Sofia as she sails east across the Sea of Rain to the domed city of Archimedes, the Republic bastion at the edge of the Islamic Caliphate. In 2142, the Earth continues to be devastated by a viral pandemic and a terraformed Moon has become its sanctuary. The plague is not the only enemy, however, as the nation states of the Moon have chosen sides in the eternal battle between Western conservative values and Islamic culture. The RTS Sofia is a small vessel in the greater scheme of lunar warships. Fast and well-armed, she can doggedly harass the enemy but must not fall prey to the capital ships of the enemy. North of Port Archimedes lay the greatly contested corridor from the Sea of Rain to the Mare Frigoris. The Sofia is on her way to patrol the 20-mile wide, 200-mile long passage hemmed between the lunar Alps in the west and the Caucasus Range on the east.The 100-man crew of the Sofia will fight and die in the dusty vacuum of the lunar surface. They will find and attack the enemy during the cold and dark of the lunar night, as well as the heat and brilliant light of the lunar day. Captain Ashton takes his ship into skirmish and battle using all the technology and tactics he has at his disposal including his small but lethal cadre of Marine special forces. Ashton will take his ship to the edge and over in order to bring an agile and fanatical en ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Kirby.

    The Between Times , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 153min
    In the days when the corporations rule the world, the middle class is gone and the cities are divided into upper and lower towns. The upper towns are domed to protect the rich from the foul air that permeates the world, from the waste that fills the air, and fumes that blacken the sky from the smoke stacks of the factories. The water is heavily rationed in the lower towns and barely drinkable, so fouled by the chemicals that fill the rivers and springs. While in the upper town the water is purified even in the fountains and swimming pools that grace the world of the high and mighty. The shops, boutiques, restaurants, and museums are crowded in the upper town, music can be heard everywhere, and the flowers grow tall and beautiful. While the people of the lower towns work six days a week, in 16- to 18-hour shifts. There one day of is Sunday, it is then that the men and young boys must be found in church, while the women and girls are kept at home, for they are considered to be beasts for breeding and less important than the animals that grace the zoos of the upper towns. Food is scarce in the lower town and the only market is the company store. The world has stepped back into the dark ages. Nearly all hope is gone to those not born into wealth and only the prophecy that one day a young woman will come who can control the magic of the between times keeps the poor going. It is said she will be able to pull on the energy of all those who are of like mind, wrap that energy together and send it into the world to remake it. Marta Moran Bishop takes the listener through a possible future.Unlike Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984, or Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, The Between Times is not based on the government "Big Brother", but rather it is written using a recent ruling by the Supreme Court that says corporations are people. ungekürzt.

    Grand Canyon Tour, Hörbuch, Digital, 76min
    Welcome to Grand Canyon National Park! As you approach the Grand Canyon, you are crossing the Colorado Plateau, a 130,000 square mile bulge in the earth's surface spanning half of Utah and a good portion of Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. Around its edges are the upthrust Rocky Mountains, the stretched-apart Great Basin, the contorted rocks of Arizona's Transition Zone, and ancient volcanoes. Despite all the geologic activity around it, the Plateau has managed to stay relatively flat and unfolded, but as a whole, it has been uplifted more than a mile. It is the uplift, and the down-cutting, that have created the Canyon. About five to 10 million years ago, the Colorado River began to carve its way down through the domed region on its way to the sea. Like a knife slicing through a layer cake, the mile-deep river canyon exposed multi-hued layers of time, a geologist's dream come true. But you don't have to be a geologist to appreciate the Canyon's grandeur. Erosion by wind, water, and gravity not only widened the canyon, it created an amazing variety of towers and spires, ridges and side canyons, shadows and highlights. The rainbow of rock colors is most intense in early morning or late afternoon light. If you are lucky, you will see a storm chase through the canyon, casting shadows and mist as it goes. Sightseers have been coming to view the wonders of the Canyon since 1883. Prospectors soon found tourism more profitable than mining and built accommodations for them. One of the earliest visitors was Theodore Roosevelt, a lover of the West's wide-open spaces. He pushed for federal protection and in 1893 the area became a Forest Reserve. In 1908, it received a promotion to National Monument and in 1919 the National Park was formed.

    The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    Welcome to the story to end all stories. Two decades of literary League lunacy have all been building to this, the most ambitious meta-comic imaginable.After an epic twenty-year journey through the entirety of human culture - the biggest cross-continuity 'universe' that is conceivable - Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill conclude both their legendary League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and their equally legendary comic-book careers with the series' spectacular fourth and final volume, The Tempest. Tying up the slenderest of plot threads and allusions from the three preceding volumes, The Black Dossier, and the Nemo trilogy into a dazzling and ingenious bow, the world's most accomplished and bad-tempered artist-writer team use their most stylistically adventurous outing yet to display the glories of the medium they are leaving; to demonstrate the excitement that attracted them to the field in the first place; and to analyse, critically and entertainingly, the reasons for their departure.Opening simultaneously in the panic-stricken headquarters of British Military Intelligence, the fabled Ayesha's lost African city of Kor and the domed citadel of 'We' on the devastated Earth of the year 2,996, the dense and yet furiously-paced narrative hurtles like an express locomotive across the fictional globe from Lincoln Island to modern America to the Blazing World; from the Jacobean antiquity of Prospero's Men to the superhero-inundated pastures of the present to the unimaginable reaches of a shimmering science-fiction future. With a cast-list that includes many of the most iconic figures from literature and pop culture, and a tempo that conveys the terrible momentum of inevitable events, this is literally and literarily the story to end all stories. Originally published as a six-issue run of unfashionable, outmoded and flimsy children's comics that would make you appear emotionally backward if you read them on the bus, this climactic magnum opus also reprints classic English super-team publication The Seven Stars from the murky black-and-white reaches of 1964. A magnificent celebration of everything comics were, are and could be, any appreciator or student of the medium would be unwise to miss The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume IV: THE TEMPEST.Co-Published by Top Shelf Productions (US) and Knockabout (UK).
