  The Lava Trolls - Magma Meets Man

  Welcome to "The Lava Trolls: Magma Meets Man," a rollicking audiobook adventure where the absurd meets the underground. In a world where geothermal energy isn't just a fancy term but a cause for underground commotion, our hero, Sparky – a Lava Troll with the curious habit of reflecting his mood in his fiery complexion – finds himself in a bit of a hot spot. 
  Beneath the frosty surface of Iceland, in a realm where the décor is decidedly magma-chic, the Lava Trolls lead a life that's anything but dull. But when human endeavors start shaking their world more than a troll after a chilly swim, Sparky decides it's time to surface for a bit of reconnaissance. After all, in the world of Lava Trolls, 'hot-headed' is a compliment. 
  Narrated with the wit and whimsy reminiscent of a certain Sir of satire, this audiobook is a journey through a world as fantastical as it is fiery. As Sparky encounters the surface-dwellers, or 'humans,' he teams up with Eva, a geothermal engineer who's more at home with a drill than a dragon. Together, they embark on a quest to harmonize the rumbly world below with the bustling life above. 
  Expect to be whisked away on an auditory escapade filled with the sounds of bubbling magma, the hustle and bustle of human life, and the occasional trollish chuckle. This isn't just a story; it's a symphony of absurdities where geysers gush with gusto, and humans and trolls find that, sometimes, the best friendships are the most unlikely. 
  Suitable for listeners who like their fantasy served with a side of satire and a good helping of environmental awareness, "The Lava Trolls: Magma Meets Man" is more than just an audiobook. It's an experience in troll diplomacy, human absurdity, and the art of not taking life too seriously, unless it involves a potential volcanic eruption.

  Saknarth

  Saknarth by Donald A. Wollheim - The Master Astrologer was willing to give his life—if only the torch of what little learning existed in the land could be passed on. 
  "The lights upon the Morning Star." How well he remembered that phrase. Twenty years it must have been since Kwarit had whispered it to him, at the great trial where they had accused Kwarit of heeding the signals of the Evil One. 
  As he had been led away, he had managed to whisper to young Saknarth, then a mere neophyte, the strange phrase that had lingered, echoing and reechoing through the young student's mind all these years. From neophyte to the Master Astrologer of the Imperial Observatory. It would be more than forty years by the third planet's hurried pace. Did the lights still glow upon the Morning Star? 
  Saknarth glanced over at the chronometer. It would be a half hour before the Morning Star rose. There was work to be done; he must prepare the day's horoscope. He laughed to himself. What fools priests and rulers must be to believe that the stars foretold the future. What an upset if they learned how it all originated in the minds of astrologers—no more the guesswork based upon a knowledge of the past. Well, so far, thought Saknarth, my forecasts have been more or less true. 
  Seating himself at a little desk in the shaded glow of an oil lamp, he proceeded to write his prophecies, taking care to befog them with astrological formulae and mystic bosh. 
  A half hour passed. Already a dim light glowed deep in the eastern horizon. Now from low in the sky a blue star gleamed, a steady glowing mote of light heralding the dawn. The Morning Star.
