    Hornet's Nest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 414min
    Hornet's Nest follows an aircraft carrier's tour of duty during 1985, offering shoot-'em-up action and a mindset that equates Middle Eastern with terrorist. Central to this unsavory tale are fighter pilots 'Sweetwater' Sullivan and 'Sundance' Karnes and Sweetwater's squadron, the Fighting Aardvarks, who seem like free-wheeling, hard-partying frat brothers armed with technical training, powerful weapons and minds uncluttered by any understanding of the complex political events that dominate their lives. Just tell these men to "kick some terrorist ass" and they'll be rarin' to go. And go they do - primarily in the Persian Gulf - as they track down an Iranian mine-laying ship to help protect a tanker owned by a U.S.-based company (and registered in Kuwait to avoid U.S. taxes); destroy an Iranian frigate; raid Iranian oil platforms; and, after Col. Khadafy declares a "Line of Death" across the Gulf, demolish a Libyan chemical plant. When it comes to shore leave, the good old days of double standards are perfectly preserved here: bad girls (who do) are fun, but good girls (who don't) are potential wives. ungekürzt.

    The Poe Shadow, Hörbuch, Digital, 414min
    Baltimore, 1849. The body of Edgar Allan Poe has been buried in an unmarked grave. Everyone seems to accept the conclusion that Poe was a second-rate writer who met a disgraceful end, except for a young Baltimore lawyer named Quentin Clark, an ardent admirer who puts his own career and reputation at risk in a crusade to salvage Poe's. As Quentin explores the puzzling circumstances and unanswered questions of Poe's demise, he realizes that he must find the one person who can help: the real-life model for Poe's brilliant fictional detective character, C. Augustine Dupin, the hero of ingenious tales of crime and detection. Soon Quentin finds himself enmeshed in sinister machinations involving international political agents and the lost secrets of Poe's final hours, and must himself turn master investigator to escape Poe's grisly fate. Drawing on original, groundbreaking research, the best-selling author of The Dante Club has once again crossed literary history with sublime craftsmanship and devious twists to create a beautifully detailed, ingeniously plotted tale of suspense. Includes Matthew Pearl's exclusive audio afterword on the truth behind Poe's death! Language: English. Narrator: Erik Singer.

    Abenteuer Der Zukunft, Hörbuch, Digital, 414min
    Schon immer treibt den Menschen die Frage um, wie wohl die zukünftige Welt aussehen wird. Technologien, die heute noch Zukunftsmusik sind, bestimmen in ein paar Jahrzehnten vielleicht unseren Alltag. Erfindungen, die gegenwärtig undenkbar erscheinen, ermöglichen in der Welt von morgen vielleicht das heute für unmöglich Gehaltene. Von der Beeinflussung des Wetters über das Wunder der Atomkraft , der guten alten Zeitreise, bis zur Hoffnung auf Unsterblichkeit: Das Ausspinnen der Welt von morgen spiegelt immer die Wünsche, aber auch die Ängste der Menschen im Hier und Jetzt. Die neunteilige Hörspielreihe "Abenteuer der Zukunft" aus dem Jahre 1959 steht klassisch im Stile der großen Science-Fiction-Erzähler des vergangenen Jahrhunderts. Wie in den Geschichten eines Isaac Asimov, Stanislaw Lem, Robert Heinlein oder Philip K. Dick staunt der Hörer der "Abenteuer der Zukunft" über die Wunder technologischer Innovation. Die Bewunderung begleitet allerdings stets eine gehörige Portion Pessimismus. So drängen in allen Geschichten Fritz Puhls die gesellschaftlichen Folgen der Neuerungen in den Fokus. Aus heutiger Sicht werfen wir einen wunderbaren Blick auf die Hoffnungen und Schrecken der Menschen in den späten 1950er Jahren. Spannend, kritisch und ungemein unterhaltsam. deutsch.
