The Line of Polity: Agent Cormac, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1345min
The Line of Polity is the second audiobook in Neal Asher's popular Agent Cormac series. Outlink station Miranda has been destroyed by a nanomycelium, and the very nature of this sabotage suggests that the alien bioconstruct Dragon - a creature as untrustworthy as it is gigantic - is somehow involved. Sent out on a titanic Polity dreadnought, the Occam Razor, agent Cormac must investigate the disaster. Meanwhile, on the remote planet Masada, the long-term rebellion can never rise aboveground, as the slave population is subjugated by orbital laser arrays controlled by the Theocracy in their cylinder worlds, and by the fact that they cannot safely leave their labour compounds. For the wilderness of Masada lacks breathable air...and out there roam monstrous predators called hooders and siluroynes, not to mention the weird and terrible gabbleducks. ungekürzt.

From Here to Eternity: Travelling the World to Find the Good Death , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 337min
As a practising mortician, Caitlin Doughty has long been fascinated by our pervasive terror of dead bodies. In From Here to Eternity, she sets out in search of cultures unburdened by such fears. In rural Indonesia, she observes a man clean and dress his grandfather's mummified body. She meets Bolivian ñatitas (cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls) and introduces us to the Japanese ritual of kotsuage, in which relatives use chopsticks to pluck their loved ones' bones from cremation ashes. With curiosity and morbid humour, Doughty introduces us to inspiring death-care innovators, participates in powerful death practices almost entirely unknown in the West and explores new spaces for mourning - including a futuristic glowing-Buddha columbarium in Japan, a candlelit Mexican cemetery and America's only open-air pyre. In doing so she expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with dignity and reveals unexpected possibilities for our own death rituals. Read by Caitlin Doughty. ungekürzt.

Die Leben des Tao: Tao 1, Hörbuch, Digital, 754min
Action, Abenteuer und Aliens - Wesley Chus SF-Thriller "Die Leben des Tao" ist der Auftakt einer Trilogie, in der sich ein durchschnittlicher Nerd zum Top-Geheimagenten mausert. Seit Anbeginn der Zeiten wird das Schicksal der Menschheit insgeheim von Aliens gelenkt, die als körperlose Parasiten einige der einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten der Geschichte kontrolliert haben: Dschingis Khan etwa, Napoleon oder Steve Jobs. Und fast ebenso lange tobt unbemerkt ein heftiger Krieg auf der Erde, in dem sich zwei verfeindete Fraktionen der Außerirdischen bis aufs Blut bekämpfen. Mal haben die Prophus die Nase vorn, die auf eine friedliche Koexistenz mit den Menschen setzen, und manchmal die Genjix, die glauben, dass technischer und gesellschaftlicher Fortschritt nicht ohne Krieg und Konflikte zu haben ist. Wenn es nach ihnen geht, wird auch in Zukunft die Weltgeschichte mit Blut geschrieben. Von all dem ahnt Roen Tan - Programmierer, Vollzeit-Nerd und Freund fettiger Fertiggerichte - natürlich nichts. Bis er eines Morgens in seiner Wohnung in Chicago aufwacht und eine fremde Stimme in seinem Kopf hört. deutsch.

Just Run It!: Running an Exceptional Business Is Easier Than You Think , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
The growth engine of the global economy is no longer through mega-production and huge conglomerates, but rather through the proliferation of smaller enterprises. In America alone, tens of thousands of businesses crop up each year. Unfortunately, few will succeed, though not due to a lack of ingenuity, initiative, or even capital. Why, then? Because, according to Dick Cross, author of Just Run It!, most business owners lack not just the fundamentals, the nuts and bolts of operating a business effectively day to day, but the bigger picture of how to achieve business success. After taking dozens of companies from underperforming to high performing, Cross observed a pattern, out of which he devised a formula for success. Using his Just Run It! formula he is now teaching business owners how to understand their business on “the back of an envelope” and make it exceptional. An enhanced eBook version with video and audio, optimized for color tablets, is also available. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Menasche.
