This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Have you ever stopped to think about how deeply we depend on technology and electricity? Can you imagine what would happen if everything stopped working all at once? Our world, every day, every hour, every minute, is deeply intertwined with the invisible threads of technology. But what would happen if all those threads were suddenly cut? Are we prepared to face a world plunged into darkness, without the conveniences and comforts we are used to? 'Shadowrise: The Dawn of Darkness' is the first book in a series, introducing us to a setting as fearsome as it is fascinating. A city, once brimming with life and light, now sets the stage for an unprecedented blackout. Kaelan, an average young man, suddenly finds himself at the center of this apocalyptic reality, facing a world he no longer recognizes. From the initial days of confusion to the subsequent days of despair, we follow Kaelan and his friends as they navigate the challenges of a world where the rules of the past no longer apply. Will Kaelan be able to adapt and survive in this new world, or will the dawn of darkness be too much for him? 'Shadowrise: The Dawn of Darkness' is a call to awaken our consciousness, a warning cry about our growing dependence on technology, and a thrilling exploration of what it truly means to survive. Join Kaelan and discover what a world would be like when suddenly stripped of technology, plunged into despair as everything familiar crumbles.

[German] - Der gestohlene Bazillus und andere Geschichten

Der gestohlene Bazillus und andere Geschichten von H. G. Wells gelesen von Cedrik Burrasch. Das Unsichtbare und Bedrohliche, Zeitreisen und Invasionen fremder Lebewesen auf der Erde – mit diesen Sujets erschrieb sich Herbert George Wells seinen Rang zu einem der meistgelesenen Autoren der Literaturgeschichte. Er war einer der Ersten, der die Entwicklung der Science-Fiction-Literatur entscheidend prägte. Diese Sammlung enthält fünf ausgewählte Kurzgeschichten aus seiner Feder, es sind kleine spannende und gruselige Geschichten um Wissenschaft, menschliche Selbstüberschätzung und dem ewigen Ringen mit der Natur. Die Menschheit befindet sich an der Schwelle zur Neuzeit: Mikrobiologie, zerstörerische Großindustrien und Kernphysik klopfen an die Tür eines von technischen Fortschritt und Kriegen dominierten Jahrhunderts. Einige seiner Werke verfügen bis heute über erschreckend aktuelle Zeitbezüge. Genau das macht sie zu ganz bedeutsamer Literatur. Seine Romane und Erzählungen wurden von zahlreichen Autoren und Filmemachern adaptiert. Auch in seinen Sachbüchern entwickelte H. G. Wells Ideen für einen Weltstaat und regte Projekte wie den Völkerbund und die Liga der Menschenrechte an. 1. Der gestohlene Bazillus 2. Der Gasfang 3. Der Zauberladen 4. Das Tal der Spinnen 5.

Cedrik versucht seitdem ambitioniert beruflich als Hörbuchsprecher und Synchronsprecher Fuß zu fassen. Schon als Teenager, fasziniert von der Darstellung und Interpretation der unzähligen Charaktere in Büchern und Filmen, entwickelte sich bei ihm ein großes Interesse, Teil dieser akustischen Welt zu werden. In seiner Freizeit beschäftigt er sich viel mit Musik, Schauspiel und diversen Audio Programmen, um ein Gefühl für das Sprechen vor dem Mikrofon zu entwickeln. Mit diesem Hörbuch: Der gestohlene Bazillus und andere Geschichten, von H. G. Wells, gibt er sein Debüt als Sprecher bei der hoerbuchedition words and music.

The Lost Years, Part I

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith comes a brand new novella set in the world of the Hell Divers series. Before you knew him as the king or the Immortal, he was Commander Xavier “X” Rodriguez—with ninety-six dives under his belt, the most experienced Hell Diver on the airship known as the Hive. Time after time, he dived through the electrical storms, returning with parts to keep his home in the sky.

They returned to the airship with the fuel cells needed to keep the Hive running, but X was left behind. This is the story of how he becomes the last man on Earth. His will drives him to keep fighting, to survive the monsters and the radiation in the wastes, to find a way back home. But as the days pass, he feels the things that make him human slipping away. He has become a waif, a phantom, with little to live for. Then he stumbles upon something that makes him feel again. This is the chronicle of those lost years, told for the first time ever.

Aeon Burn

A week ago, the supernova Aeon detonated in the skies over Antarctica. Mass migrations of humanity and animal life began northward. Secondary bursts of ionizing radiation knocked out worldwide power grids. Global temperatures spiked. Oceans rose as seawater expanded and glaciers melted. Massive storms and acid rain scour the planet. The southern continent is literally melting under the feet of Dr. Xin Rhou as she is trapped at the South Pole, and she is perhaps the only person in the world with a full accounting of the data recorded when Aeon exploded. Thousands of miles away in the Amazon, Max Carver struggles to stay alive while attempting to stop his old friend and brother Ben Belloc escaping from the Colony. But the only thing Max really wants is to get north of the equator and find his pregnant wife Talisha as she is about to give birth. Talisha, meanwhile, has joined millions of Aeon refugees on the roads of America. Most cars have been rendered inoperable by the supernova burst, and all communications and power grids are down. But for Tal, on the verge of giving birth in a suddenly very unforgiving world, all of this is even less important than the revelation she has just learned …
