Humanity's expansion into the stars has led to awe-inspiring discoveries - and terrifying new threats. An insidious alien race is waging an interstellar war, enslaving any civilization they encounter to carry out their galactic rampage. Now they have set their sights on mankind. Tag Brewer is a medical scientist, not a ship's captain. But as humanity's survival hangs in the balance, he must lead a ragtag crew of humans, a skeptical alien, and a synthetic lifeform into the depths of enemy territory. There he forms an uneasy alliance with a group of aliens - the Mechanics - fleeing from the destruction. There is only one way to track down and stop their frightening new adversaries. Tag must follow the trail of devastation left behind in the fallen Mechanic empire, where he hopes to recruit other survivors to their cause. But what Tag and his crew find is far more dangerous than any of them thought possible. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bradford Hastings.

Nine explorers aboard a powerful AI vessel, Alchemon, are sent to investigate an “anomalous biosignature” on a distant planet. But they soon realize their mission has gone to hell as deadly freakish incidents threaten their lives. Are these events caused by the tormented psychic mysteriously put aboard at the last minute? Has the crew been targeted by a vengeful corporate psychopath? Are they part of some cruel experiment by the ship’s ruthless owners? Or do their troubles originate with the strange alien lifeform retrieved from the planet? A creature that might possess an intelligence beyond human understanding or may perhaps be the spawn of some terrifying supernatural force....Either way, as their desperation and panic sets in, one thing becomes clear: they’re fighting not only for their own survival, but for the fate of all humanity. ungekürzt.

Serpentine Fire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 678min
They are the ultimate invasive species-actual sea serpents, taking over the world's oceans. One small team of marine scientists stands against them. A devastating, globe-shaking earthquake hits California; but terrible as it is, it only sets the stage for the real disaster to come. Because at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, a fissure opens and releases a lifeform that has been locked away for countless millennia. When the quake strikes, marine biologist Charles Jacobs is lucky to survive as his beloved Monterey Aquarium collapses. In Oakland, NOAA scientist Felix Goodwin suddenly finds himself tapped by his Washington boss, millionaire industrialist Garrison Drummond, to head up Emergency Operations. And environmentalist Natalie DiBella, homeward bound on an airliner that narrowly avoids crashing, dreads that her family may not have been so lucky. Months later, when Charles is brought to a top secret government facility to examine a huge, strange creature, it is like nothing the eminent scientist has ever seen before. As impossible as it seems, it is a sea serpent - and it is not alone. Soon the oceans are swarming with them, in all shapes and sizes, but all with the same eerie jade eyes. Charles comes to realize that they are the ultimate invasive species; Natalie thinks they are a beautiful force of nature - and the Machiavellian Drummond believes they have the potential for almost limitless power. ungekürzt.

Vaporized ll , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 294min
Earth has been invaded by aliens.... Colonization is underway.... A pocket of humanity survives. Amber Lee just has to live long enough to find it.... Following a cataclysmic event that no one on Earth saw coming, lawyer Amber Lee awakes in London to find that the city and seemingly the entire population of the UK has been literally vaporized over one night during the summer Bank Holiday weekend - a surprise alien invasion that the news stations call "The Event". She sets off across the city, now slowly being taken over by an unknown alien lifeform, to her now deserted family home in West Wales. With all hope fading of finding anyone else alive, she picks up a radio transmission coming from a nearby farm, and sets off to discover if the individual responsible for the transmission is still alive. Miraculously the farm owner, John, has also survived the mysterious event and he has been picking up radio transmissions from a group of scientists in Nevada, USA. With nowhere to go, and the alien menace closing in on the farm, Amber and John flee to the coast, with the intention of embarking on a voyage across the Atlantic to the west coast of America in the hope of finding the only other known survivors. The only mode of transport available to them however is a large oil tanker, The Nostrum, which was in the process of leaving port to deliver its cargo of crude oil, when the cataclysm struck. Amber and John manage to board the tanker, but they soon discover however that they are not travelling alone, and the seemingly impossible voyage quickly turns into a journey from hell, which has virtually no chance of succeeding.... This is the second book in the Vaporized series. If you enjoy science fiction adventure novels, then jump into Amber's shoes and enjoy the ride, but don't forget to take your motion sickness tablets before you start listening! ungekürzt.
