The Faithless Prophet: Divine Space, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 778min
Even the prophets can lose faith. Gulatu Koza has come to realize he is neither the prophet humans of Doonya expected nor the messiah for whom the Zrivisi were praying. As he grapples with an existential crisis, the Pithrean, ancient enemies of organic lifeforms, return to the galaxy. Ships sent to the Heronza sector to discover what the Pithrean are up to never return, fueling anxiety and fear among all species. Reduced to being a common man, Gulatu feels liberated from the yoke of prophecy that had guided his purpose in life. Now is the time to fulfill the promise he’d made to Ruma - a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, yet the only one with which he decides to concern himself. Perhaps this one last outing will grant him the peace he craves and solidify their relationship. Except it looks like the Pithrean have a purpose of their own for which they need him, and they will do anything to ensure his compliance. Listen to The Faithless Prophet today to see how the prophet's life turns out. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fuad Baloch.

Next, players must hire a crew for their ship, recruiting a lieutenant with a unique skill-set and a handful of soldiers, mechanics, hackers, and other specialists.

In time, as the crews gain experience, they will become more powerful and hire more talented specialists. The more they grow, however, the more likely it is that a pirate fleet will take note of their activities and come after them!- Shop: buecher

The First Three Minutes (eBook, ePUB)
A Nobel Prize-winning physicist explains what happened at the very beginning of the universe, and how we know, in this popular science classic. Our universe has been growing for nearly 14 billion years. But almost everything about it, from the elements that forged stars, planets, and lifeforms, to the fundamental forces of physics, can be traced back to what happened in just the first three minutes of its existence. In this book, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg describes in wonderful detail what happened in these first three minutes. It is an exhilarating journey that begins with the Planck Epoch - the earliest period of time in the history of the universe - and goes through Einstein's Theory of Relativity, the Hubble Red Shift, and the detection of the Cosmic Microwave Background. These incredible discoveries all form the foundation for what we now understand as the "standard model" of the origin of the universe. The First Three Minutes examines not only what this model looks like, but also tells the exciting story of the bold thinkers who put it together. Clearly and accessibly written, The First Three Minutes is a modern-day classic, an unsurpassed explanation of where it is that everything really comes from.- Shop: buecher

Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen: 4th Doctor Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 585min
An unabridged reading of the brand-new novel based on a storyline by Douglas Adams. The Doctor promised Romana the end of the universe, so she's less than impressed when what she gets is a cricket match. But then the award ceremony is interrupted by 11 figures in white uniforms and peaked skull helmets wielding bat-shaped weapons that fire lethal bolts of light into the screaming crowd. The Krikkitmen are back. Millions of years ago, the people of Krikkit learned they were not alone in the universe and promptly launched a xenophobic crusade to wipe out all other lifeforms. After a long and bloody conflict, the Time Lords imprisoned Krikkit within an envelope of Slow Time, a prison that could be opened only with the Wicket Gate key, a device that resembles - to human eyes, at least - an oversized set of cricket stumps.... From Earth to Gallifrey, from Bethselamin to Devalin, from Krikkit to Mareeve II to the far edge of infinity, the Doctor and Romana are tugged into a pan-galactic conga with fate as they rush to stop the Krikkitmen gaining all five pieces of the key. If they fail, the entire cosmos faces a fiery retribution that will leave nothing but ashes.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Starkey.

In the Galactic Roman Empire, eight noble houses fight for power. One gladiator fights for justice. This is Wolf's Empire: Gladiator, by Claudia Christian and Morgan Grant Buchanan. When her mother and brother are murdered, young noblewoman Accala Viridius cries out for vengeance. But the empire is being torn apart by a galactic civil war, and her demands fall on deaf ears. Undeterred, Accala sacrifices privilege and status to train as a common gladiator. Mastering the one weapon available to her - a razor-sharp discus that always returns when thrown - she enters the deadly imperial games, the only arena where she can face her enemies. But Fortune's wheel grants Accala no favors. The emperor decrees that the games will be used to settle the civil war, the indigenous lifeforms of the arena world are staging a violent revolt, and Accala finds herself drugged, cast into slavery, and forced to fight on the side of the men she set out to kill. Set in a future Rome that never fell but instead expanded to become a galaxy-spanning empire, Accala's struggle to survive and exact her revenge will take her on a dark journey that will cost her more than she ever imagined.

It is what drives us to seek improvement. We should always strive to be better, happier, healthier, and fulfilled by loving ourselves, our neighbors, and lifeforms of all sorts on our planet.When we dream, we transport our minds to places where life is better and where your goals should be placed. Positive thoughts eliminate the nightmares we find in sleep and our waking lives. We can realize that there is something better in the future. When we berate ourselves for not being perfect, then we wallow in failure. When we see that the future can be better, we thrive in the optimistic feeling that positive realization brings. ungekürzt.
