    Ponti , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 576min
    2003, Singapore. Friendless and fatherless, 16-year-old Szu lives in the shadow of her mother, Amisa, once a beautiful actress and now a hack medium performing séances with her sister in a rusty house. When Szu meets the privileged, acid-tongued Circe, an unlikely encounter develops into an intense friendship and offers Szu a means of escape from her mother's alarming solitariness.  Seventeen years later, Circe is struggling through a divorce in fraught and ever-changing Singapore when a project comes up at work: a remake of the cult '70s horror film series Ponti, the very project that defined Amisa's short-lived film career. Suddenly Circe is knocked off balance: by memories of the two women she once knew, by guilt and by a past that threatens her conscience.  Told from the perspectives of all three women, Ponti is about friendship and memory, about the things we do when we're on the cusp of adulthood that haunt us years later. Beautifully written by debut author Sharlene Teo, and enormously atmospheric, Ponti marks the launch of an exciting new literary voice in the vein of Zadie Smith.  ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Bleeding Innocence: Seductive Trappings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 536min, (USK 18)
    Drea, a gorgeous, naive, overachieving college student, develops a crush on a professor in her senior year. He is alluring. His physique, his brilliance, and his sexiness spiral her out of control. Over time, her innate sensual desires mount and find her obsessively seeking his attention. While gradually executing a series of carefully planned seductive steps, the professor exerts his carnal desires, and together they soon forge a taboo relationship of unpredictable heights. Systematically, the professor’s unorthodox relationship rules are revealed, and Drea dutifully complies. Their numerous erotic encounters are uniquely contrived and submissive in nature, the realms of which expand too often outside the norm. Drea becomes totally immersed in the professor’s world as if under his spell, and when the relationship gets out of hand, in a desperate effort to maintain their bond, she attempts to create a needed balance in the forbidden student/professor relationship. But can there be balance between sexual deviance and sexual norms with such scandalous undercurrents? Enter Drea’s seedy world, and discover for yourself if this is a romance novel, erotica, or both or a series of escalating submissive hedonistic acts. ungekürzt.

When Jessica finds herself discharged from the service and Ethan makes an error that costs him his job, both are set adrift, cast out by a corrupt system and forced to take the blame for decisions they did not make.

    Murder in Thrall , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 558min
    From Anne Cleeland comes a captivating new mystery series following the perilous exploits of two Scotland Yard detectives as they track down London's most elusive killers. First-year detective Kathleen Doyle is a plucky Irish redhead of humble origins and modest means. Chief Inspector Michael Acton is her antithesis: a British lord turned cop. He's tall, handsome, and enigmatic - to a fault. He also has a knack for solving London's most high-profile crimes. Acton selects Doyle out of the newbie squad to partner with him on a series of investigations because she always knows when someone is lying - a trait that comes in handy when interviewing suspects and witnesses. Acton and Doyle are sent to investigate the murder of a trainer at a racetrack, and soon new killings related to the first start unfolding, dragging the two investigators into ever more perilous situations. But the real danger is the unlikely attachment that develops between the ultra-reserved, aristocratic chief inspector and his spirited, working-class sidekick... a relationship that will raise plenty of eyebrows - and hackles - among their colleagues at the Yard. ungekürzt.

    All that up-and-coming musician Jesse Jamison has ever wanted is to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. When a gossip website nearly catches him kissing someone who isn’t his famous girlfriend - and also isn’t a girl - he considers the near miss a wake-up call. There’s a lot riding on his image as the super-straight rocker, and if he wants to realize his dreams, he’ll need to toe the line. Luckily, he’s into women too. Problem solved.   After a decade pretending to be his ex’s roommate, pediatrician Hunter Wyatt is done hiding. He might not know how to date in the Grindr world, how to make friends in a strange city, or whether his new job in Toronto is a mistake. But he does know that no one is worth the closet. Not even the world’s sexiest rock star.  As Jesse’s charity work at Hunter’s hospital brings the two closer together, a bromance develops. Soon, Hunter is all Jesse can think about. But when it comes down to a choice between Hunter and his career, he’s not sure he’s brave enough to follow his heart.   ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Fell.

    Langbourne's Rebellion: The Langbourne Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 558min
    The remarkable story of the Langbourne brothers is picked up in 1893. Morris, just 17, makes the bold and risky decision to head north, deeper into Africa. Morris and his younger brother, David, thus embark on a new adventure - to set up business as traders. After walking through the African bush for three months with six wagons laden with goods and hardly a track to guide them, Morris and David stop in the settlement of KoBulawayo and build their first warehouse out of wooden poles and mud. Realizing a radical change in plan is needed, Morris devises a new business strategy that propels them toward success. A political impasse rapidly develops between the European administration and the ruthless King Lobengula's massive Ndebele army. A brief and savage war erupts between the two powers; the brothers' business is unavoidably affected, and David is hunted by the Ndebele army when he tries to rescue a friend. Undaunted, but wiser to the perils of Africa, Morris sets his mind to recover their pride, their reputation, and their business. Based on a true story and actual events. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Cosmic Blueprint: New Discoveries in Nature's Creative Ability to Order the Universe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min
    In the preface to the 2004 edition, Paul Davies writes, "If the laws of the universe really are a sort of cosmic blueprint, as I suggest, they may also be a blueprint for survival." This critically acclaimed book explains how recent scientific advances are transforming our understanding of the emergence of complexity and organization in the universe. Melding a variety of ideas and disiplines from biology, fundamental physics, computer science, mathematics, genetics, and neurology, Davies presents his provocative theory on the source of the universe's creative potency. He explores the new paradigm (replacing the centuries-old Newtonian view of the universe) that recognizes the collective and holistic properties of physical systems and the power of self-organization. He casts the laws in physics in the role of a "blueprint", embodying a grand cosmic scheme that progressively unfolds as the universe develops. Challenging the viewpoint that the physical universe is a meaningless collection of particles, he finds overwhelming evidence for an underlying purpose: "Science may explain all the processes whereby the universe evolves its own destiny, but that still leaves room for there to be a meaning behind existence." This book is published by Templeton Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Colacci. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/redw/000045/bk_redw_000045_sample.mp3.
