Title: [German] - Der Letzte Alte Mann Series: #10 of Amerika fällt Author: Scott Medbury Narrator: Kai Powalla Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 41 minutes Release date: August 14, 2023 Genres: Science Fiction Publisher's Summary: 'Menschen bedeuten Ärger und müssen um jeden Preis vermieden werden...' Das war Joshua Raglands goldene Regel für das Überleben in den After Days. In seinem früheren Leben hatte er Jura studiert, und er dachte sich, dass die Leute damals wahrscheinlich das Gleiche über Anwälte sagten. Das war, bevor Amerika fiel. Bevor ein tödlicher biologischer Angriff und die anschließende Landinvasion die Supermacht innerhalb weniger Tage in die Knie zwangen. Anders als der Rest der erwachsenen Bevölkerung überlebte er das Virus und erlebte wie durch ein Wunder, wie die Invasoren durch einen vergeblichen Vergeltungsschlag nach Westen zurückgedrängt wurden. Leider ließen sie die Ostküste Amerikas nur noch als Hülle zurück, ihre Städte und Vororte wurden den verlassenen Kindern und Jugendlichen überlassen, die ihre 'Arbeitslager' überlebt hatten. Jetzt, zehn Jahre später, ist er ein abgehärteter Überlebender. Ein Herumtreiber, der die Ruinen Amerikas durchstreift, sich zurückzieht und nur dann menschlichen Kontakt duldet, wenn er ihn braucht. Leider ist er dabei, seine eigene goldene Regel zu brechen. Als Ragland eingreift, um das Leben eines jungen Mädchens zu retten, das von einem Rudel Kannibalen gefangen gehalten wird, setzt er unwissentlich eine Kette von Ereignissen in Gang, die ihm die Horde auf den Hals hetzen wird.

Title: Posing As People: Three Stories, Three Plays Author: Aaron Johnston, Emily Janice Card, Orson Scott Card, Scott Brick Narrator: a full cast, Victoria Von Roth, Lara Schwartzberg, Kelly Lohman, Sara Ellis, Eric Artell, Kirby Heyborne, Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 58 minutes Release date: October 31, 2023 Genres: Science Fiction Publisher's Summary: Science fiction is rare in theatrical form, but with Posing As People, three unforgettable sci-fi stories by Orson Scott Card are adapted into powerful stage plays by three different writers. “Clap Hands and Sing” shows us a lonely—but rich and powerful—old man who has only one wish before he dies: To go back in time and take an opportunity for love that he once let slip by. But what will it do to the young girl who used to love him? “Lifeloop” pretends to be reality TV twenty-four hours a day. In fact, they’re really actors. But when your character is you, without any break, how exactly do you have a “real” life? And how can a fellow actor tell you that he loves you, when that’s what the script also calls for him to say? “Sepulchre of Songs” is about a heartbreakingly lovely girl who lost her arms and legs many years ago, and now yearns to be free, not just of the rest home where she lives, but of her body. So is the alien being who wants to trade places with her real or the product of her own imagination? And can her therapist’s growing love for her keep her from fleeing—either into space or the dark recesses of her own mind? Read by Eric Artell, Scott Brick, Emily Janice Card, Sara Ellis, Kirby Heybourne, Kelly Lohman, Stefan Rudnicki, Lara Schwartzberg, and Victoria Von Roth, the original cast of the stage production, September 21, 2004 at the Whitefire Theatre Los Angeles directed by Orson Scott Card.

Simak Author: Clifford D. Simak Narrator: Stephen Bel Davies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 29 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Science Fiction Publisher's Summary: From Frank Herbert's Dune to Isaac Asimov's Foundation series to Philip K. Dick's stories of bizarre visions of a dystopian future, the latter half of the twentieth century produced some of the finest examples of speculative fiction ever published. Yet no science fiction author was more highly regarded than Grand Master Clifford D. Simak, winner of numerous honors. Whether it's an irascible old man's discovery of a very unusual skunk that puts him at odds with the US Air Force, a county agent's strange bond with the sentient alien flora he discovers growing in his garden, the problems a small town faces when its children mature too rapidly thanks to babysitters from another galaxy, or the gift a lonely farmer receives in exchange for aiding a dying visitor from another world, the events detailed in Simak's poignant and beautiful tales will thrill, shock, amuse, and astonish in equal measure. One of the genre's premier literary artists, Simak explores time travel and time engines; examines the rituals and superstitions of galactic travelers who have long forgotten their ultimate purpose; and even takes fascinating detours through World War II and the wild American West in a wondrous anthology that no science fiction fan should be without.

Simak Author: Clifford D. Simak Narrator: Stephen Bel Davies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 43 minutes Release date: September 26, 2023 Genres: Science Fiction Publisher's Summary: Twelve classic tales of the unknown from the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of Way Station. Clifford D. Simak had a sublime ability to evoke a lost way of life. He spent his youth in rural Wisconsin, a landscape filled with mysterious hollows, cliffs, dark forests, and the Wisconsin River flowing in its deep-cut valley. As Simak wandered the countryside and the ridges, he peopled them with imaginary characters who later came to life in his stories. One such individual is Johnny, the orphaned farm boy of 'The Contraption,' who stumbles upon a wrecked starship and receives a priceless gift from its owners. Another is the old prospector Eli, whose surprising discoveries on Mercury get him killed in 'Spaceship in a Flask.' In 'Huddling Place,' a man with paralyzing agoraphobia is the only one who can save the life of a dear friend on Mars—if he can bear to make the trip. And in the title story, aliens slowly take over Earth while humans leave it behind and head for the Homestead Planets.

Title: The Caves of Steel Author: Isaac Asimov Narrator: William Hope Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 29 minutes Release date: January 25, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Science Fiction Publisher's Summary: Isaac Asimov’s Robot series – from the iconic collection I, Robot to four classic novels – contains some of the most influential works in the history of science fiction. Establishing and testing the Three Laws of Robotics, they continue to shape the understanding and design of artificial intelligence to this day. In the vast, domed cities of Earth, artificial intelligence is strictly controlled; in the distant Outer Worlds, colonists and robots live side by side. A Spacer ambassador is found dead and detective Elijah Baley is assigned to find the killer. But with relations between the two cultures in the balance, the Spacers insist that he work with a partner of their choosing – a robot partner, R. Daneel Olivaw. Baley has never seen a robot like Daneel before – almost indistinguishable from a human – and soon, though the Three Laws of Robotics should render the crime impossible, Baley’s partner becomes his prime suspect.
