    More Than This , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 661min
    A boy named Seth drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments, losing his life as the pounding sea claims him. But then he wakes. He is naked, thirsty, starving. But alive. How is that possible? He remembers dying, his bones breaking, his skull dashed upon the rocks. So how is he here? And where is this place? It looks like the suburban English town where he lived as a child, before an unthinkable tragedy happened and his family moved to America. But the neighborhood around his old house is overgrown, covered in dust, and completely abandoned. What’s going on? And why is it that whenever he closes his eyes, he falls prey to vivid, agonising memories that seem more real than the world around him? Seth begins a search for answers, hoping that he might not be alone, that this might not be the hell he fears it to be, that there might be more than just this ... ungekürzt. Language: English.

    And the Mountains Echoed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 841min
    On May 21, 2013, the new novel from Khaled Hosseini: an unforgettable story about finding a lost piece of yourself in someone else. Khaled Hosseini, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, has written a new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations. In this tale revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe—from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos—the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each passing minute. ungekürzt.

    Die Dakkar-Havarie: Perry Rhodan 2997, Hörbuch, Digital, 211min
    Der Angriff eines Bhals - und der Sturz einer Superintelligenz.Gut dreitausend Jahre in der Zukunft: Perry Rhodan hat nach wie vor die Vi-sion, die Milchstraße in eine Sterneninsel ohne Kriege zu verwandeln. Der Mann von der Erde, der einst die Menschen zu den Sternen führte, möchte endlich Frieden in der Galaxis haben. Davon ist er in diesen Tagen des Jahres 1552 Neuer Galaktischer Zeitrech-nung allerdings weit entfernt: In der von der Superintelligenz ES verlassenen Milchstraße wütet der Weltenbrand, der alle intelligenten Lebewesen betrifft und zu einer Hypersensibilität führt, gegen die es kein Mittel gibt. Wird der Welten-brand nicht gelöscht, dauert es nur Jahrzehnte, bis die Milchstraße unbewohnbar geworden sein wird.Hervorgerufen wurde dieses Phänomen in ­erster Linie durch den skrupellosen Adam von Aures, der weitreichende Pläne verfolgt, die letztlich die Evolution der Maschinen und deren Vorherrschaft bedeuten sollen. Es gibt zwar Hoffnung, nachdem mit der Bergung von Proto-Eiris ein Mittel gefunden wurde, das sich ­womöglich entsprechend modifizieren lässt, den Weltenbrand zu löschen - aber keinerlei Garantie. Atlan, der unsterbliche Arkonide, deckt eine Verschwörung gegen die junge Superintelligenz GESHOD auf: Ausgerechnet deren wichtigster Repräsentant, der Bhal Drush, intrigiert gegen sie und will sie seinem Willen unterwerfen. Nun ist schnelles Handeln gefragt - und DIE DAKKAR-HAVARIE...In deiner Audible-Bibliothek findest du für dieses Hörerlebnis eine PDF-Datei mit zusätzlichem Material. deutsch.

    System: The Shaping of Modern Knowledge (Infrastructures) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 561min
    A system can describe what we see (the solar system), operate a computer (Windows 10), or be made on a page (the 14 engineered lines of a sonnet). In this book, Clifford Siskin shows that system is best understood as a genre - a form that works physically in the world to mediate our efforts to understand it. Indeed, many Enlightenment authors published works they called "system" to compete with the essay and the treatise. Drawing on the history of system from Galileo's "message from the stars" and Newton's "system of the world" to today's "computational universe", Siskin illuminates the role that the genre of system has played in the shaping and reshaping of modern knowledge. Previous engagements with systems have involved making them, using them, or imagining better ones. Siskin offers an innovative perspective by investigating system itself. He considers the past and present, moving from the "system of the world" to "a world full of systems". He traces the turn to system in the 17th and 18th centuries, and describes this primary form of Enlightenment as a mediator of political, cultural, and social modernity - pointing to the moment when people began to "blame the system" for working both too well ("you can't beat the system") and not well enough (it always seems to "break down"). Throughout, his touchstones are: what system is and how it has changed; how it has mediated knowledge; and how it has worked in the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Andres Pabon.

    The Paris Vendetta: A Novel, Hörbuch, Digital, 438min
    When Napoleon Bonaparte died in exile in 1821, he took to the grave a powerful secret. As general and emperor, he had stolen immeasurable riches from palaces, national treasuries, and even the Knights of Malta and the Vatican. In his final days, his British captors hoped to learn where the loot lay hidden. But he told them nothing, and in his will he made no mention of the treasure. Or did he? Former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone isn't looking for trouble when it comes knocking at his Copenhagen bookshop. Actually, it breaks and enters in the form of an American Secret Service agent with a pair of assassins on his heels. Malone has his doubts about the anxious young man, but narrowly surviving a ferocious firefight convinces him to follow his unexpected new ally. Their first stop is the secluded estate of Malone's good friend, Henrik Thorvaldsen. The wily Danish tycoon has uncovered the insidious plans of the Paris Club, a cabal of multimillionaires bent on manipulating the global economy. Only by matching wits with a terrorist-for-hire, foiling a catastrophic attack, and plunging into a desperate hunt for Napoleon's legendary lost treasure can Malone hope to avert international financial anarchy. But Thorvaldsen's real objective is much more personal: to avenge the murder of his son by the larcenous aristocrat at the heart of the conspiracy. Thorvaldsen's vendetta places Malone in an impossible quandary - one that forces him to choose between friend and country, past and present. Starting in Denmark, moving to England, and ending up in the storied streets and cathedrals of Paris, Malone plays a breathless game of duplicity and death, all to claim a prize of untold value. But at what cost? Language: English. Narrator: Scott Brick. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/002085/bk_rand_002085_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
