  What if an unassuming object in a dusty London shop window was actually a window to another world? 
  In The Crystal Egg, H.G. Wells delivers a chilling, contemplative tale of obsession and cosmic mystery. When Mr. Cave, a reclusive and mistreated shopkeeper, discovers that a strange crystal egg in his possession reveals visions of an alien world, he becomes consumed by the silent vistas of Mars—and the winged beings who may be watching us in return. 
  As the boundary between Earth and the stars blurs, Cave’s hidden observations take on an unsettling clarity. Are we truly alone, or merely unaware of the watchers above? 
  This mesmerizing short story from the father of science fiction explores themes of discovery, alien contact, and the lonely fragility of human life—made all the more haunting by Richard Stibbard’s atmospheric narration.

  A Beauty. A Beast. A Love That Defies All Odds. 
  Lady Rose Sheffield has never quite fit into the mold of a perfect lady. With her sharp wit, cutting tongue, and a refusal to conform to society's expectations, she's always been an outsider in the world of ballrooms and polite conversation. When a scandal forces her from London, she finds herself in the untamed countryside, working for the brooding Earl of Ashbourne. 
  Henry Grayson, the Earl of Ashbourne, has earned the moniker "The Black Earl" for his reclusive and tempestuous nature. Preferring the solitude of his estate, he has little patience for society and even less for the fiery young woman who disrupts his peace. But Rose, with her fierce independence and unflinching spirit, stirs something in him he thought long dead. 
  As sparks fly between them, Rose and Henry must navigate a world where propriety and passion are at odds. In the wild countryside, they’ll discover whether love can heal old wounds—or if their pasts will forever keep them apart. 
  The Black Earl and His Rose is a captivating historical romance filled with biting humor, deep emotion, and the undeniable chemistry between two souls who were never meant to fit in—but may have just found where they belong.

  Gavin Duncan is a planter on the distant planet Layard, struggling to protect a vital medicinal crop from a strange native creature known as the Cytha. When the animal begins raiding his fields, Duncan launches a relentless hunt across blistering plains, treacherous ravines, and alien forests, convinced that no creature is beyond human skill or firepower. 
  But Layard does not operate by human rules. As the pursuit intensifies, Duncan uncovers a world shaped by unfamiliar biology, unsettling loyalties, and a form of life that adapts with disturbing intelligence. What begins as a practical hunt becomes a confrontation with an entire planetary system that challenges human assumptions about dominance, survival, and responsibility. 
  Clifford D. Simak was one of science fiction’s great humanists, known for blending speculative ideas with deep moral and philosophical insight. Rather than focusing on technology alone, Simak explored how humanity fits into larger cosmic ecosystems, often portraying aliens not as enemies, but as mirrors reflecting human flaws. 
  Best known for works such as City and Way Station, Simak’s stories are thoughtful, quietly powerful, and enduringly relevant. The World That Couldn’t Be exemplifies his ability to turn an adventure premise into a profound meditation on coexistence and restraint.

  Second Volume of the novel that formally inverts Don Quixote: as the don mistakes himself for the knightly hero of a Romance, so Arabella mistakes herself for the maiden love of a Romance. While the don thinks it his duty to praise the Platonically pure damsels he meets (such as the woman he loves), so Arabella believes it is in her power to kill with a look and it is the duty of her lovers to suffer ordeals on her behalf. (Summary by Wikipedia)This project was proof listened by Stav Nisser and Barry Eads.
