    Ruby dreams of escaping the Congregation.... Escape from slaver Darwin West and his cruel Overseers. Escape from struggling to gather the life-prolonging Water that keeps the Congregants alive - and Darwin rich. Escape from her certain, dreary existence, living as if it's still the early 1800s, when the Congregation was first enslaved. But if Ruby leaves, the Congregation will die without the secret ingredient to the Water: her blood. So she stays, and prays to their savior Otto, who first gave Water to the Congregants... and fathered Ruby before he vanished. When the Congregants discover Ruby's forbidden romance with an Overseer, they beat Ford to stop her from running away with him. Ruby steals their store of Water to save Ford's life and is banished. Ruby has everything she's dreamed of: a modern life with Ford. But the modern world isn't what she thought it would be, and Ruby can't forsake the Congregation. Love and loyalty push Ruby to return and fight for her family's freedom... at a terrible price. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jessica Almasy.

    The Departure is the first audiobook in Neal Asher's near-future, science fiction Owner series. The Argus Space Station looks down on a nightmarish Earth. And from this safe distance, the Committee enforces its despotic rule. There are too many people and too few resources, and they need 12 billion to die before Earth can be stabilized. So corruption is rife, people starve, and the poor are policed by mechanized overseers and identity-reader guns. Citizens already fear the brutal Inspectorate with its pain inducers. But to reach its goals, the Committee will unleash satellite laser weaponry, taking carnage to a new level. This is the world Alan Saul wakes to, travelling in a crate destined for the Calais incinerator. How he got there he doesn't know, but he remembers pain and his tormentor's face. He also has company: Janus, a rogue intelligence inhabiting forbidden hardware in his skull. As Janus shows Saul an Earth stripped of hope, he resolves to annihilate the Committee and their regime. Once he's discovered who he was, and killed his interrogator.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Noble.

    Kidnap on Fantasy Planet: Platoon F, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 324min
    Love lost, cavemen found, and a kidnapping to cap it all off.  Captain Don Harr has learned that love is not all it’s cracked up to be, especially when the woman he loves has decided to lead a sexual revolution on her home planet.  Fortunately, it’s hard staying depressed when you’ve got the Overseers as your employer.  Overseer Frexle tasks Harr and Geezer with stopping a couple of cavemen from going beyond the discovery of fire, which is insane but should prove enough to keep Harr’s mind off of lost love.  While dealing with the cavemen, an urgent message comes in from Fantasy Planet. It seems that Platoon F’s previous commanding officer, Stanley Parfait, has been kidnapped! The message reads that if the group of ruffians doesn’t get their demands met, they’ll kill the man.  To make matters worse, it turns out that Lord Overseer Veli is rather angry to hear of Platoon F’s visits to Fantasy Planet, and he wants them off of the world immediately! ungekürzt.

    Spy Chiefs, Volume 1: Intelligence Leaders in the United States and United Kingdom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 605min
    In literature and film, the spy chief is an all-knowing, all-powerful figure who masterfully moves spies into action like pieces on a chessboard. How close to reality is that depiction, and what does it really take to be an effective leader in the world of intelligence?This first volume of Spy Chiefs broadens and deepens our understanding of the role of intelligence leaders in foreign affairs and national security in the US and UK from the early 1940s to the present. The figures profiled range from famous spy chiefs such as William Donovan, Richard Helms, and Stewart Menzies to little-known figures such as John Grombach, who ran an intelligence organization so secret that not even President Truman knew of it. Many of those profiled in the audiobook served at times of turbulent change, were faced with foreign penetrations of their intelligence service, and wrestled with matters of transparency, accountability to democratically elected overseers, and adherence to the rule of law. This audiobook will appeal to both intelligence specialists and general listeners with an interest in the intelligence history of the US and UK. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Woods.
