    Captain Future: The Lost World of Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 303min
    The Futuremen race into the past to answer a cry for help that has traveled across a hundred million years! Follow Captain Future as the greatest enigma of all time transports him into the forgotten ages. Most definitely science fiction space opera, the Captain Future stories go beyond that as well. A traditional pulp hero in many ways, Captain Future also proved to be a character that readers could easily relate to. The stories are also peppered with humor, including the ongoing war of words between Otho and Grag as well as absurd encounters with strange beings. Grag is most definitely the brawn of the Futuremen. A robot constructed by the Brain and Captain Future's father, Grag stands over seven feet tall and may be the strongest creation in the solar system. Constructed of "inert" metal, Grag is almost indestructible and powered by atomic energy. His primary job was keeping an eye on young Curt Newton and Grag still does that job unerringly even though Captain Future is now grown. Grag's greatest desire is to be considered human, a point that Otho tends to agitate him over again and again, leading to some of the funniest moments in the stories. Truly one of a kind, Otho is a unique android created by Captain Future's father and the Brain. The synthetic man does not naturally resemble an Earthman, but Otho is well known for his mastery of disguise, a skill that has been useful for Captain Future on many occasions. Otho also is faster than nearly any other being alive and he is responsible for teaching Captain Future much of what he knows of speed and agility. Otho also enjoys the danger of each mission they undertake, almost as much as he likes to antagonize the humorless Grag about not being human. Rocket into science fiction adventure and discover new worlds. Ripped from the pages of the fall 1941 issue of Captain Future magazine, "The Lost World of Time" is read with wonder and excitement by Milton Bagby. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Comet Kings: Captain Future, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 260min
    Trapped in the depths of Halley's Comet, the Futuremen battle fourth-dimensional monsters in a titanic struggle to save the system's solar energy! Captain Future learned much of what he knew from perhaps the oddest surrogate father in fiction - The Brain. Simon Wright, a brilliant scientist and companion to Curtis Newton's father, became so riddled with age and sickness that the only option to continue his life meant literally living as a brain in a specially designed box. When Captain Future's parents were killed, Wright not only serves as Captain Future's mentor, but also as the leader of the trio of Futuremen who join Captain Future on his wild escapades. Grag is most definitely the brawn of the Futuremen. A robot constructed by the Brain and Captain Future's father, Grag stands over seven feet tall and may be the strongest creation in the solar system. Constructed of "inert" metal, Grag is almost indestructible and powered by atomic energy deep in his chest.

    The Complete Works of Tacitus: Volume 3: The History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 696min
    In all of Roman history there was never a more turbulent year than A.D. 69, the ill-omened "Year of the Three Emperors". By some miracle, the greatest historian of the age, Tacitus, was able to chronicle those momentous events in a work he called The History. In its pages are some of the most memorable events of Roman history described in some of the most intensely passionate prose ever devised. Tacitus was a genius of the highest rank and his searing epigrammatic style has never been equaled, nor put to greater use. The History opens with the events following the assassination of Nero. Galba, an elderly senator of noble lineage, is the first to claim the crown. But his reign is short...only one month. Civil war immediately breaks out. Defying him is the rakish Otho, an aristocrat of singularly corrupt morals, both in his public and private life. Since the troops favor him over Galba, they murder the old emperor and elevate Otho. But Otho, in the mistaken belief that his troops have deserted him, cannot keep the throne in the face of Vitellius' emerging challenge and he commits suicide rather than face war. Vitellius, as corrupt and weak as his predecessor, is challenged in his turn by a successful general who has been proclaimed emperor by his own troops in Egypt, Vespasian. As civil unrest spirals out of control in Italy, renewed war breaks out in Germany, Illyria, and Judaea. As it turns out, Vespasian is the only man who can command the kind of respect and loyalty to keep the tottering empire on its feet. This production uses the famous translation by Church and Brodribb, considered the finest in the English language. The Complete Works of Tacitus continues in Volume 4 with three short works: "The Life of Agricola", "Germany and its Tribes", and "The Dialogue on Oratory". ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The tumultuous time that followed Nero’s suicide is known as The Year of the Four Emperors. In rapid succession, the Roman empire was ruled briefly by Galba, Otho, and Vitellius.
