  Mammoth Books Presents: Aliens & Extra-Terrestrials , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min

  Alien Abduction: Some 2,740 US citizens claim to have been abducted by aliens each day. That's an incredible 2% of a population of 300 million. Surely statistically some of these cases must bear truths? Area 51: It is rumoured that Area 51 houses the UFO disc found at Roswell, as well as other crashed alien spaceships. What is the truth? The Babylonian Brotherhood: Twelve-foot lizards from the planet Draco have colonized Earth and seek world domination. Crop Circles: Made by intelligent beings from elsewhere, or earth-bound pranksters? Face on Mars: Was the image of a humanoid face 1.5 miles long by 1 mile wide purposefully constructed or is it simply an accidental resemblance? Hollow Earth: The Earth is hollow and houses a surreptitious advanced civilisation. Majestic 12: Evidence found about a group of military officials, scientists and intelligence officials set up in 1962 to study alien technology. Legitimate or bogus? Men in Black: Mysterious figures who seek to conceal UFO identity. They appear at a witness's house after a sighting and remove all physical evidence before threatening the witness to remain silent. Are they really government agents? Nazi Moon Base: During the Second World War the Germans sent a successful mission to the moon, made a lunar station and built an underground base in Antarctica for space exploration research. Project Bluebook: Since December 1969 there has been no official US government body actively investigating UFO sightings. But what about unofficially? Rendlesham Forest: Did an alien spacecraft land at Rendlesham Forest in 1980? Roswell: In 1947 an extra-terrestrial spacecraft with alien occupants landed in New Mexico. Allegedly, this event was covered up by the US military, but why? Shag Harbour: In October 1967 an unidentified flying object was seen floating on the waters of Shag Harbour. Eve ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Marinker. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/cons/000014/bk_cons_000014_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  The Island of Missing Trees

  LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE 2022 A REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICKSHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA NOVEL AWARD 2021A rich, magical new novel from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World - now a top 10 Sunday Times bestsellerTwo teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. The taverna is the only place that Kostas and Defne can meet in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic and chilli peppers, creeping honeysuckle, and in the centre, growing through a cavity in the roof, a fig tree. The fig tree witnesses their hushed, happy meetings; their silent, surreptitious departures. The fig tree is there, too, when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, when the teenagers vanish. Decades later, Kostas returns - a botanist, looking for native species - looking, really, for Defne. The two lovers return to the taverna to take a clipping from the fig tree and smuggle it into their suitcase, bound for London. Years later, the fig tree in the garden is their daughter Ada's only knowledge of a home she has never visited, as she seeks to untangle years of secrets and silence, and find her place in the world. The Island of Missing Trees is a rich, magical tale of belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature and renewal, from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World.'What a wonderful read! This book moved me to tears... in the best way. Powerful and poignant' Reese Witherspoon 'One of the best writers in the world today' Hanif Kureishi 'Shafak makes a new home for us in words' Colum McCann

  The Island of Missing Trees

  LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE 2022A REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICKSHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA NOVEL AWARD 2021A rich, magical new novel from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World - now a top ten Sunday Times bestsellerIt is 1974 on the island of Cyprus. Two teenagers, from opposite sides of a divided land, meet at a tavern in the city they both call home. The tavern is the only place that Kostas, who is Greek and Christian, and Defne, who is Turkish and Muslim, can meet, in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic, chilli peppers and wild herbs. This is where one can find the best food in town, the best music, the best wine. But there is something else to the place: it makes one forget, even if for just a few hours, the world outside and its immoderate sorrows.In the centre of the tavern, growing through a cavity in the roof, is a fig tree. This tree will witness their hushed, happy meetings, their silent, surreptitious departures; and the tree will be there when the war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to rubble, when the teenagers vanish and break apart.Decades later in north London, sixteen-year-old Ada Kazantzakis has never visited the island where her parents were born. Desperate for answers, she seeks to untangle years of secrets, separation and silence.

  The Spider Woman Strikes Back

  Jean Kingsley (Brenda Joyce) gratefully took the position as live-in companion to blind, eccentric rancher Zenobia Dollard (Gale Sondergaard). The job description, though, said nothing about a scheme to poison her neighbors' cattle... or that the surreptitious draining of Jean's blood would be a requirement. In-name-only sequel to Sondergaard's Sherlock Holmes villainess stint also stars Milburn Stone, Kirby Grant, Hobart Cavanaugh, and Rondo Hatton as Mario the Monster Man. 59 min. Standard, Soundtrack: English, Subtitles: English, audio commentary, featurette, theatrical trailer.
