Momenticon

A hugely compelling, dark, offbeat adventure from the bestselling author of ROTHERWEIRD, a master storyteller at the height of his powers. The world has become a dangerous place. Despite the environmentalists' best efforts, the atmosphere has turned toxic, destroying almost all life - plants, animals, and most of humanity too. Survivors live in domes protected by chitin shields, serving one or other of the two great companies, Lord Vane's Tempestas or Lord Sine's Genrich, with their very different visions for mankind's future. Fogg has been the curator of the isolated Museum Dome for three years. It contains Man's finest artefacts, but Fogg hasn't had a single visitor. He immerses himself in the exhibits with only AI PT, his automated physical trainer, for company. Then a single mysterious pill appears in the Museum as if from nowhere: a momenticon. It signals the end of his hermit's life and an impending struggle with the dark forces which threaten everything that remains: a struggle which will take him and his new companions to the ends of the earth. This is a post-apocalyptic world unlike any other.

The Conditions of Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 985min

Dale M. Kushner's novel The Conditions of Love traces the journey of a girl from childhood to adulthood as she reckons with her parents' abandonment, her need to break from society's limitations, and her overwhelming desire for spiritual and erotic love. In 1953, 10-year-old Eunice lives in the backwaters of Wisconsin with her outrageously narcissistic mother, a manicureeste and movie-star worshipper. Abandoned by her father as an infant, Eunice worries that she will become a misfit like her mother. When her mother's lover, the devoted Sam, moves in, Eunice imagines her life will finally become normal. But her hope dissolves when Sam gets kicked out, and she is again alone with her mother. A freak storm sends Eunice away from all things familiar. Rescued by the shaman-like Rose, Eunice's odyssey continues with a stay in a hermit's shack and ends with a passionate love affair with an older man. Through her capacity to redefine herself, reject bitterness, and keep her heart open, she survives and flourishes. In this, she is both ordinary and heroic. At once fable and realistic story, The Conditions of Love is a book about emotional and physical survival. Through sheer force of will, Eunice saves herself from a doomed life. This engaging examination of a mother and daughter's relationship will appeal to the same audience that embraced Mona Simpson's acclaimed classic Anywhere But Here and Elizabeth Strout's best-selling Amy and Isabelle. ungekürzt.

Rogue's Gallery, Vol. 1: The Classic Radio Collection, Hörbuch, Digital, 352min

Rogue's Gallery was an old-time radio program starring Dick Powell as Richard Rogue, a private detective who trailed luscious blondes, protected witnesses, and did whatever else detectives do to make a living. What set this show apart from others in the genre was that midway through every episode, Rogue would invariably end up getting knocked out and spending his dream time in acerbic conversation on Cloud 8 with his subconscious self named Eugor - Rogue spelled backward. The presence of the alter ego served to give Rogue enough information for his final deduction. Eugor would appear cackling like the host of The Hermit's Cave while imparting some vital information our hero had overlooked. Rogue would then awaken with a vague idea of what to do next. Directed by Dee Englebach, with music by Leith Stevens, Rogue's Gallery employed radio's best supporting actors, including Lou Merrill, Gerald Mohr, Gloria Blondell, Tony Barrett, Lurene Tuttle, and Peter Leeds. Dick Powell left the series in 1946 and would later star in Richard Diamond, Private Detective. Rogue's Gallery continued on until 1952, starring Barry Sullivan and later Paul Stewart. Rogue's Gallery, Vol. 1 features the following 12 episodes: "Blondes Prefer Gentlemen" (10/18/1945); "Murder with Muriel" (10/25/1945); "Little Drops of Rain" (11/8/1945); "Lovely Little Old Lady" (11/29/1945); "Triangle of Death" (2/21/1946); "A Fortune in Furs" (12/20/1945); "The Stark McVey Case" aka "Murder at Minden" (1/3/1946); "The Pamela Leeds Case" aka "A Will in Question" (1/17/1946); "Carlotta, the Magnificent" aka "Special Added Attraction" (1/31/1946); "Death House Legacy" (4/4/1946); "The Star of Savoy" (6/23/1946); "Cabin on a Lake" (7/7/1946).
