Inversion: Riven Worlds, Book Two (Amaranthe 15) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 784min
Nothing has prepared humanity for an enemy on the scale of the Rasu. Now, after a devastating defeat no one saw coming, the dream of victory has become a battle for survival. Concord, with its vaunted indestructible warships and dimension-bending weapons, has been knocked back on its heels. A stunning loss in the Battle of Namino has left its best and brightest leaders scattered, trapped, or thought lost. The Rasu press their advantage, laying siege to Namino and cutting it off from the rest of civilization.For Miriam Solovy, a coup attempt by Anaden rebels and a flaring conflict with the militaristic Savrakaths are the least of her concerns. After blowing up the Concord flagship to prevent its capture by the Rasu, she is awakened in a new body and expected to don the mantle of leadership once again. But how can she lead Concord in the fight against the Rasu when humanity doesn’t trust regenesis and she no longer trusts herself?For Caleb Marano, nothing matters more than family. When his niece is trapped behind enemy lines, he turns his back on the peaceful sentient planet he shares a consciousness with in order to rescue her. If he hopes to succeed, he must become the killer he once was, even if it costs him everything.For Alex Solovy and Nika Kirumase, however, the crucible of two deadly intergalactic conflicts has taught them that survival is not enough. Together they will cross every line and break every rule to accomplish the impossible, end the siege of Namino and take the fight directly to the enemy.In Amaranthe, where exotic alien life, AIs, wormholes, indestructible starships, and the promise of immortality rule the day, no feat seems out of reach for humanity. But when the worlds of Aurora Rhapsody and Asterion Noir collide and the Rasu horde descends upon them both, more will be asked of heroes past and future. More will be given and more taken, and when the dust settles, the very fabric of Amaran ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pyper Down.

Die Klinge des Kaisers: The Emperor's Edge 1, Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 849min
Die Vollstreckerin Amaranthe Lokdon ist wirklich gut in ihrem Job. Ihr Revier liegt in der Hauptstadt des Reichs, in der dampfbetriebene Straßenbahnen und Maschinen das Straßenbild prägen. Hier ist das Verbrechen allgegenwärtig. Diebe rauben fleißige Geschäftsfrauen aus und Unbekannte setzen Gebäude am Seeufer in Brand. Amaranthes Aufklärungsrate ist exzellent und ihre Führung tadellos. Trotzdem wird sie immer wieder übergangen, wenn es um eine Beförderung geht. Als weibliche Gesetzeshüterin ist sie die Ausnahme im Kaiserreich Turgonia. Amaranthes Ehrgeiz und Gerechtigkeitssinn werden eher belächelt als belohnt. Doch dann erlebt der junge Kaiser Amaranthe bei einem beherzten Einsatz. Kurz darauf betraut Armeeoberkommandeur Hollowcrest sie mit einem geheimen und haarsträubenden Auftrag: Sie soll Sicarius, den meistgesuchten Auftragsmörder des Reichs, unschädlich machen. Weder Amaranthes Geltungsdrang noch ihre Neugierde lassen es zu, diesen Auftrag abzulehnen, obwohl sie ahnt, dass Hollowcrest sie nicht befördern, sondern erledigen will. Warum das so ist, wird ihr erst durch die Begegnung mit Sicarius klar. Und allmählich begreift sie auch, dass das Leben von Kaiser Sespian in Gefahr ist. Wird Amaranthe den Hintermännern der Verschwörung gegen den Kaiser auf die Spur kommen? Welche Rolle spielt die geheimnisvolle Schmiede-Gruppe, die im Reich agiert? Und kann Amaranthe - gemeinsam mit den vier Mitstreitern, die sie angeworben hat - das magische unverletzliche Raubtier bezwingen, das nachts auf Beutezug geht und seine Opfer auf grausame Art verstümmelt?

The Emperor's Edge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 713min
Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: She can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills...or someone wants her dead. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Starla Huchton.

Blood and Betrayal: The Emperor's Edge, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 882min
The last thing Maldynado Montichelu - former aristocrat and current ladies' man - ever wanted was to be left in charge. After all, the team just blew up a train, crashed a dirigible, and kidnapped the emperor. It's kind of an important time. But, with Amaranthe captured by the nefarious Forge coalition, and Sicarius off to find her, the team is lacking in leaders. Also, Sicarius has made it clear that Maldynado's life may be forfeit should anything happen to the emperor while he's gone. To make matters worse, Forge's cutthroats are after Sespian, and the young emperor believes Maldynado's loyalties are suspect. As if it's his fault that his older brother is working with the coalition to usurp the throne. If Maldynado can't figure out how to earn the emperor's trust quickly, Sespian will go off to confront their powerful enemies on his own. Meanwhile, Amaranthe must find a way to escape from the coalition's newest ally, Master Interrogator Pike, a man who plans to pull all of the secrets from her head, one way or another. ungekürzt.

Chaotica (Riven Worlds Book Five) (eBook, ePUB)
"I save the people who will save the universe. If it can be saved."After an extraordinary encounter with kyoseil in the Oneiroi Nebula, Nika Kirumase is transformed. Now able to understand and harness the true power of the ancient, primordial life form, she finally has the ability to defend her people-if the kyoseil doesn't destroy her sanity first. Mesme has long been meddling with the fate of the universe, but the events in the Oneiroi Nebula have exposed its deceptions. A schism erupts between Alex and Mesme over the secrets the Katasketousya keeps-and if their relationship isn't mended, the world may lose its best chance at salvation. The fractures threatening Concord's survival aren't merely personal, and the ramifications of the Ruda's betrayal in the last battle prove costly to everyone. The Rasu begin deploying antimatter weapons, thereby neutralizing Concord's greatest advantage, its impervious adiamene warships. Now losing ships, people and planets as the Rasu close in on the Milky Way, Miriam Solovy finds herself short on options and out of time. But Alex has never let those kind of odds stop her, and so a desperate plan is hatched-one that will either save civilization, or doom it to annihilation.*In Amaranthe, where exotic alien life, AIs, wormholes, indestructible starships and the promise of immortality rule the day, no feat seems out of reach for humanity. But when the worlds of Aurora Rhapsody and Asterion Noir collide and the Rasu horde descends upon them both, more will be asked of heroes past and future. More will be given and more taken, and when the dust settles the very fabric of Amaranthe will be altered forever.- Shop: buecher

Rubicon: Aurora Resonant, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 776min
We are you - the you that you could have been. The Anaden Directorate has ruled Amaranthe for millennia, subjugating species and galaxies in a never-ending quest for control and order. For as many millennia, the anarchs have rebelled, defiantly claiming their own freedom - yet without hope of winning it for everyone. Now, an alliance with humans offers a tantalizing chance to at last defeat their immortal masters. But can they trust an ally who looks suspiciously like the enemy? Humanity is the genetic recreation of the Anadens, but genetics aren't everything. Humans like to make their own destiny, and they have overcome great challenges to achieve unprecedented peace and prosperity. But have their trials prepared them for the enemy they now face? "The battle for the heart and soul of Amaranthe will be joined, and we must be unafraid." Amidst the chaos of an escalating war, Caleb's bond with the mysterious diati grows ever more powerful, even as Alex's forays into the hidden dimensions of the universe lead them to unfathomable places. But when the anarchs are pushed to the breaking point and the AEGIS fleet is dealt a devastating blow, Miriam Solovy must find a way to defeat a foe wielding superior technology, firepower, and numbers - or else more than one civilization will be lost. Our universe is but a snow globe - an experiment born of desperation and hope. The true universe is unfathomably vast, teeming with life and untold wonders. And it is enslaved. Created by ancient aliens in a daring gambit to understand the nature of the enemy, humanity is now asked to be the savior of a universe not their own. If they are to succeed, they must rise above not only their fractious past but the sins of their genetic ancestors to boldly embrace a future they never dared imagine possible. ungekürzt.

The emperor has been ousted from the throne, his bloodline is in question, and war is descending on the capital. Forge, the nefarious business coalition that has been manipulating the political situation from the beginning, has the ultimate weapon at its disposal.If it was difficult for a small team of outlaws - or, as Amaranthe has decided they should now be called, rebels - to make a difference before, it's a monumental task now. If she's to return idealistic young Sespian to the throne, earn the exoneration she's sought for so long, and help her closest ally win the respect of the son who detests him, she'll have to employ an unprecedented new scheme, preferably without destroying the city - or herself - in the process. ungekürzt.
