Evolution can play strange tricks—and when playboy Lane fled society for the African jungle in the yeras before World War II, he discovered a very different tribe of gorillas, who thought and acted better than the men he had known in America.
Confined in a small shipping container for weeks on end, Taru was starving, dehydrated, and close to death. When she was given the option of remaining in the container until her owner could turn her in for the reward, or being one of fifteen females going to a mining moon to pleasure the drillers who were willing to pay for her services, she chose the latter. At least there was the possibility she could escape from there and get back with her people. Kirby Luka agreed to pay the astronomical sum to have his own woman, if only to have a companion. Someone to talk to and maybe to share a bed with. He never expected to have to contend with having to take the last female in the group. What was left over. A female Gyra who not only was a feared and dangerous humanoid, but a deadly enemy. Their initial meeting is contentious. But when a deadly disease infiltrates the close community, Kirby knows the only way he and Taru can survive is to get off that rock. That means working together and sacrificing what they both wanted. They never anticipated the consequences of their actions.Zum Buch
When the Temporals won the first time war... ...they unleashed multiple levels of reality. Will they destroy all life? Valdorian, the former Prime of the Consortium, must face the awful truth. He has been used. As a slave of the criminal Temporals he has released a shard of the destructive Omnivore. The Temporals, trapped in a distant dimension - the Zero - after the first Time War, can finally escape from their prison. But there is something they don't know. Valdorian still has one move. Will he be able to escape? A second time war breaks out, which has an even more devastating effect than the legendary first confrontation with the Temporals when they created an infinite number of alternative timelines. All of these dimensions are now threatened with final extinction. Together with many other species, the Kantaki confront the enemy. Meanwhile, the realities continue to disintegrate faster and faster. The brave defenders have long been on the losing side - or so it seems. Only preventing the Temporals from exerting influence at the original point of manipulation could prevent the impending defeat. And once again the Kantaki pilot Diamond and Valdorian find themselves at the center of the action. You will love this audiobook 3 in the Kantaki Saga, because Andreas Brandhorst unravels a story that looks at what existence and truth mean in a way that is both haunting and beautiful.Zum Buch

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz, and includes a fully immersive cinematic music score. "The Diary of Alonzo Typer" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft and William Lumley. It is Lovecraft's revision of Lumley's "The Diary of Alonzo Typer, Found After His Mysterious Disappearance". It first appeared in the February 1938 issue of Weird Tales. "Alonzo Hasbrouch Typer of Kingston, New York, was last seen and recognized on April 17, 1908, around noon, at the Hotel Richmond in Batavia. He was the only survivor of an ancient Ulster Country family, and was fifty-three years old at the time of his disappearance." It features the Ancient One, as well as a passing reference to the city of Yian-Ho, seemingly referencing Robert W. Chambers' "The Maker of Moons," which references a mysterious city in China called Yian.Zum Buch

The human race was expanding through the galaxy ... and so, they knew, were the Aliens. Who were these beings? Traces of them could be found scattered on planets everywhere, some very recent, but the aliens themselves were never encountered. They were obviously just as advanced technologically as humans and obviously looking for planets to expand to, just like humans. But what would happen when the two races, human and alien met? From history it was obvious that a war should be planned for, two expanding empires cannot tolerate rivals and they would clash and it could happen at any time. Would it be a war to the death? Sadly, that was the most probable outcome. Hundreds of human ships were designed specifically to frantically comb the known universe to gather information about them to prepare for war. Which was inevitable of course.Zum Buch
