    K-Pax omnibus (eBook, ePUB)
    When a man who claims to be from outer space is brought into the Manhattan Institute, the mental ward seems to be just the place for him. However, this patient is unlike anyone psychiatrist Dr. Gene Brewer has met before. Clever, inscrutable and utterly charismatic, Robert Porter calls himself 'prot' and has no traceable background - but he claims that he is an inhabitant of the planet K-PAX, a perfect world without wars, government or religion, and where every being co-exists in harmony. It's not long before the other patients are hanging on prot's every word. And even Dr Brewer starts to find himself convinced... This omnibus edition contains all three of the K-PAX novels, plus a bonus story, prot's report, and is as witty, quirky and enlightening as we have come to expect of Brewer's wonderful characters.

    Christina Engela's Strangely Compelling Science Fiction Anthology, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 481min
    “Sci-fi is the main thing,” I was told. “Compelling would be nice. Strange is only a suggestion.”That set the wheels turning – and why not – since I’ve been a sci-fi fan my entire life! So I set out to look for stories that met these parameters - sci-fi that celebrates the weird, embraces the unusual, seeks to unscrew the inscrutable...and is... strangely compelling! If that's what you're after, you’ve come to the right place!Along with two of my own stories, I’m pleased to present some strangely compelling sci-fi by a few talented, imaginative writers – namely H.G. Emert, Major Roxbrough, and Thomas M. Malafarina! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Miciah Dodge. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/228825/bk_acx0_228825_sample.mp3.

    My Man, Jeeves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 291min
    Containing drafts of stories later rewritten for other collections (including Carry On, Jeeves), My Man Jeeves offers a fascinating insight into the genesis of comic literature’s most celebrated double-act. All the stories are set in New York, four of them featuring Jeeves and Wooster themselves; the rest concerning Reggie Pepper, an earlier version of Bertie. Plots involve the usual cast of amiable young clots, choleric millionaires, chorus-girls, and vulpine aunts, but towering over them all is the inscrutable figure of Jeeves, manipulating the action from behind the scenes. Early or not, these stories are masterly examples of Wodehouse’s art, turning the most ordinary incidents into golden farce. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Cecil.

    The Water of Thought , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 303min
    It drove men mad...but each in a different way. In one the effect was total, utter addiction. In another, a compulsion to absolute obedience. In a third, idealistic monomania. In a fourth, unending, all-consuming lust. Of all the enigmas surrounding the planet Kappa, none was more inscrutable than that mysterious liquid central to all the native rites.There was, in fact, only one certainty about it: Now that it threatened to contaminate the worlds of Earth, its source would have to be destroyed - even though for the native Kappans the Water of Thought was as necessary as the Breath of Life itself. ungekürzt.
