March Upcountry: Prince Roger Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1036min
Roger Ramius Sergei Chiang MacClintock was young, handsome, athletic, an excellent dresser, and third in line for the Throne of Man. So it wasn't surprising that he became spoiled, self-centered, and petulant. After all, what else did he have to do with his life? But that was before his mother, the empress, packed him off to a backwater planet and he found himself shipwrecked on the planet Marduk, with jungles full of damnbeasts, killerpillars, carnivorous plants, and barbarian hordes of bad disposition. Fortunately, Roger had an ace in the hole: Bravo Company of Bronze Battalion of the Empress' Own Regiment. Now all Roger has to do is hike halfway around the planet, capture a spaceport from the Bad Guys, commandeer a starship, and go home. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki.

March to the Sea: Prince Roger Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1153min
Prince Roger MacClintock, Tertiary Heir to the Throne of Man, was a spoiled rotten, arrogant, whiny, thoroughly useless young pain in the butt. But that was before an assassination attempt marooned the Royal Brat and his bodyguards on the planet Marduk, and before they had to march half way around the entire planet, through 120-degree heat and five-hour rainstorms in jungles full of damnbeasts, capetoads, killerpillars, and atul-grak, not to mention hostile peoples, to make their way back to port. Under the right circumstances, even the most spoiled brat can grow up fast, and it turns out that, under his petulant exterior, Prince Roger is a true MacClintock, a scion of the warrior dynasty that created the Empire of Man. Now both prince and bodyguards are determined to get each other off the planet alive. Of course, the planet has other ideas. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki.

Challenge to the Stars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 369min
It is the 25th Century. The space cruiser Beagle explores a planet ravaged by war millennia ago, now inhabited by hostile, savage, mutated descendants of the planet's original humanoid species. When the Beagle reenters orbit on departure, the craft is shot down by an ancient, planetary defense network long predating the alien savages. The aliens abduct two women officers - the sexy and sultry Maya Terrazone and the bright but petulant Veronica Winters. Colonel Kendrick Landry, together with Veronica's pet telepathic alien tiger named Jones, leads a rescue party to find and bring back the two women. Even if the two women still live and Landry can rescue them, he wonders if his group can survive another crossing of the planet's desert terrain - teeming with the savage humanoids - to return to the ship. More, it will be virtually impossible to repair crash damage to the Beagle with the creatures lurking outside the craft. This dilemma is Colonel Landry and the Beagle crew's Challenge To The Stars... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Killavey.

Queen Elizabeth II: The Queen and the Royal Family , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min
There have been some truly awful monarchs in British history. How about one who, according to Historian Robert Wilton, psychologically "barely made it out of infancy, let alone adolescence, and ruled with little more policy than petulant self-gratification". That was Henry VIII - the wife murdering, religion destroying despot, depending, of course, on your point of view. Edward VIII also comes out poorly in a review of historical writers, although others might argue that he was somebody who put love before the monarchy, and it was more the prevailing times that were misguided. Queen Elizabeth II, however, is up there with the best royal ruler of any era. Whilst longevity inevitably contributes to our warmth for the Queen, there is more to her enduring popularity than this. This audiobook will look at the life, and family of this truly amazing monarch. It will look at the hardships and the high-times that Queen Elizabeth and her family have been through. ungekürzt.
