    The Last Coin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 730min
    Two thousand years ago there lived a man who sold some valuable information for a fee of 30 silver coins. His name was Judas Iscariot, and he is no longer with us. The coins, however, still exist - and still hold an elusive power over all who claim them. Like Andrew, whose attempts at innkeeping bring in stranger business than he ever expected. And Aunt Naomi, whose most-prized family heirloom is a silver spoon - with a curiously ancient-looking engraving. And especially old Mr Pennyman, who is only five silver coins short of immortality... Jules Pennyman is on a mission - a quest for the 30 pieces of silver of Judas Iscariot. Other novels by this author include The Digging Leviathan, Land of Dreams, and Homunculus, the latter winning him the Philip K. Dick Award. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    This Is Not the End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 630min
    James Salley is turning 16, and it's not going well. His family's too busy to care, the local bully creates new tortures daily, someone appears to be following him, and he's just learned that he's the Antichrist. All James ever wanted out of life was for Dorian Delaney - the operatically trained and suicidal girl of his dreams - to fall as in love with him as he is with her. But once he's told of his bloody destiny, he finds himself fighting between who he thought he was and who he's supposed to be. With the school librarian pushing him to begin the Apocalypse, an irritable homunculus watching his back, and a murderous cabal of Catholics following him everywhere, James must discover how to navigate a world in which everything he's ever believed is wrong - and if it's possible to be the hero of a story when you've already been cast as the villain. ungekürzt.

    Faction Paradox: Shadow Play, Hörbuch, Digital, 65min
    Primer for the Spiral Politic (Postwar Edition) 2: The Sontarans. Era: Last thirteen million years. Technology: Military (blatant), limited time-awareness. It’s perhaps unwise to think of the Sontarans as a species, as such. A homunculus breed hatched by the million and engineered for full-engagement warfare, the Sontaran military machine is regarded by many time-active cultures as an “occupational hazard”: a force of nature rather than a race, compelled by duty and genetics to acquire new technologies for its endless war effort. It should be remembered, however, that with the backing of a higher power even the crudest of breeds can become something quite different. Written by Lawrence Miles. Directed by Nigel Fairs. Postproduction and music by Nigel Fairs. Produced by Bill Baggs. Cast: Suzanne Proctor (Cousin Justine), Ellis Pike (Godfather Morlock), Caroline Burns-Cook (Lolita), Emma Kilbey (Cousin Eliza / Godmother Quelch), Nigel Fairs (Lord Ruthven / General Kine), Linda Bartram (The Voice). A full-cast audio drama. Language: English. Narrator: Suzanne Proctor. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bbvp/000006/bk_bbvp_000006_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Glückliche Umstände, leihweise
    Alexander Kluge ist Autor und Regisseur von bislang 23 Filmen und zahllosen TV-Sendungen, doch "mein Hauptwerk", so hat er einmal gesagt, "das sind meine Bücher". Fast unübersehbar scheinen die Tausende von Geschichten, die er in fünf Jahrzehnten geschrieben hat. Mit rund hundert Erzählungen bietet dieses Lesebuch erstmals eine repräsentative Auswahl und damit einen idealen Einstieg in Kluges literarisches Werk.Es geht darin um die unterschiedlichsten Themen und Motive - um den Kosmos als Kino und um die Sehnsucht der Zellen, um die Hinrichtung eines Elefanten und um das Projekt Homunculus, um eine seltsame Robinsonade und um wunderbare Rettung aus der Tiefe. Aber immer steht ein Gedanke im Mittelpunkt: Das Glück ist flüchtig, doch der geborene Hoffnungsträger Mensch sucht es hartnäckig, halsbrecherisch und unter den widrigsten Umständen. Ein aktuelles Gespräch mit dem Autor über die Prinzipien seiner Poesie rundet den Band ab.

    Baker's End: Tatty Bogle, Hörbuch, Digital, 64min
    It's raining blood on the village of Happenstance. As the end of summer beckons, the local folk are planning the festival of Tatty Bogle. Hideous scarecrows are appearing all over the place, and almost everyone is behaving as if they're fudgeknocking bananas. Retired TV star Tom Baker is in the garden making friends with cabbages (especially Eric), and Mrs Frimbly is up to curious, malinky deeds of her own. Before the festival is over there'll be ritual sacrifice, a nasty homunculus and an almighty ruckus in the front parlour. But that's not all. Tom has had a word with the Ferryman, and it's all aboard the ferryboat as it glides through the kinching morts of midnight.... We're all going to hell. And it looks a lot like Middlesbrough. Baker's End: Tatty Bogle is the third episode of the critically acclaimed audio series starring ex-Timelord Tom Baker as himself, alongside former Doctor Who companion Katy Manning and Susan Jameson, who played opposite Tom in the AudioGo Doctor Who audio series. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Baker, Katy Manning, Susan Jameson, David Benson, Eve Webster. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/cosm/000018/bk_cosm_000018_sample.mp3.

    Dissolute nobles, master spies, and the unlikeliest of heroes, Alec and Seregil have survived exile, treachery, and black magic. But the road that lies ahead is the most hazardous they've ever traveled. For with enemies on all sides, they must walk a narrow path between good and evil where one misstep might be their last. Having escaped death and slavery in Plenimar, Alec and Seregil want nothing more than to go back to their nightrunning life in Rhíminee. Instead they find themselves saddled with Sebrahn, a strange, alchemically created creature-the prophesied "child of no woman." Its moon-white skin and frightening powers make Sebrahn a danger to all whom Alec and Seregil come into contact with, leaving them no choice but to learn more about Sebrahn's true nature. With the help of trusted friends and Seregil's clan, the duo set out to discover the truth about this living homunculus-a journey that can lead only to danger or death. For Seregil's old nemesis Ulan í Sathil of Virèsse and Alec's own long-lost kin are after them, intent on possessing both Alec and Sebrahn. On the run and hunted, Alec and his comrades must fight against time to accomplish their most personal mission ever.
