Aly Krebbs is in trouble. Needing a little relaxation, she booked a ticket to T'ing, the Bugworld. A transporter for the rich and powerful, she's used to being in dangerous situations -- but this was supposed to be different. This was her vacation, her first holiday in years. So how did things go so terribly wrong? How did she end up, penniless and naked, and on the auction block before hundreds of spectators? Worse, how did she end up being purchased by a thief and his shape-changing companion? The thief wants his money back. The shape-changer just wants Aly. And all she wants is to survive long enough to get back home. This is one vacation that's growing more interesting by the day.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexander McConnell.

The Circus Maximus: The History and Legacy of the Largest Stadium in Ancient Rome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
Rome was a poem pressed into service as a city. In that short line, Anatole Broyard, a 20th century American writer, compactly captures the timeless and enchanting beauty that resides within the Eternal City of Rome. This tourist destination is often one of the highest ranked on bucket lists, for how could one not want to experience its marvelous ruins, mirror-like rivers, and spectacular stretches of aqueducts firsthand? As one sips on fine Italian wine on a terrace overlooking the grand remnants of the Colosseum, one can practically hear the roars of the battling gladiators, and the raucous applause of the spectators. And as one strolls through the coarse, yet quaint, cobblestone streets, one can almost hear the galloping horses, and screeching wheels of chariots in the distance, and even feel the brush of the breeze as they charge past. It is difficult not to fall in love with a city so effortlessly nostalgic, it verges on utopian. The ambitious and fearless emperors that built the legendary Roman Empire from scratch, the broad-shouldered, and bronzed gladiators, with their iconic plume helmets and glinting swords, and elaborate parties attended by toga-wearing Romans fueled by alcohol, violence, orgies, and other godless acts, all paint a picture of Roman life. At the Circus Maximus, the guttural cheers of the spectators reverberated across the enormous open space, but their cries could hardly be heard over the rumble of the ground. On the ellipse-shaped track, 5 charioteers would skew their bodies and steer their magnificent vehicles around the curves. Gusts of sand and dirt flew up from the whizzing wheels and encircled the pounding hooves of the stunning stallions. Distracted personnel and guards dragging their feet, were considered fair game. As one chariot careened to the side, preparing to collide with another chariot, a row of guards might have to try to duck out of the way in the nick of time. Some would be trampled by hooves. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/094133/bk_acx0_094133_sample.mp3.

The Stanley Brothers: Steam Cars and the Rocket , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 12min
Here's a biographical profile of the Freelan and Francis Stanley, identical twins who developed the Stanley Steamers, cars powered by steam engines. In 1897 the brothers, dressed alike in overcoats, bowler hats and sporting thick black beards appeared on Maple Street in Watertown, Mass., driving a horseless carriage that was nearly soundless. Spectators were stunned by the quick pace and eerie silence.One observer later recalled: "It was like watching a pair of pants run down the street with nobody in them."Ten years later, their steam-powered cars broke world speed records with speeds exceeding 150 mph! It was not their first invention; they had already developed air brushes and photographic processes that George Eastman acquired. Their story of invention, eccentricity, and success is the quintessential American story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Baron Ron Herron.

Scotch Mist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
It is the fifth of November. Soldiers and their families gather to celebrate with a fireworks display and a giant bonfire, but delight turns to fear when it explodes to send flaming debris over the spectators. A battalion of Drumdorran Fusiliers has marched in that same afternoon, and when the wife of their Pipe Major dies from her injuries, the Scots vent their anger on resident troops. While military detectives Max Rydal and Tom Black strive to discover who put explosive material in the bonfire, news of the true cause of the woman’s death intensifies the internal hostility. When another dangerous incident occurs, they have to find out if these acts of violence are being committed by the Scottish incomers, or by someone who badly wants them gone. ungekürzt.
