Beschreibung

Published in 1917, King Coal is a fictionalized account of the coal mining industry in the United States. The book explores the dangerous working conditions, low wages, and oppressive practices faced by coal miners during that time. The book is based on the 1913-1914 Colorado coal strikes and written just after the Ludlow massacre.

Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) was an American writer and social reformer who gained prominence in the early 20th century. He is best known for his novel "The Jungle," which exposed the harsh conditions and exploitation of workers in the meatpacking industry. However, Upton Sinclair also wrote extensively on various other social and political issues.

First published in 1841, this groundbreaking short story introduces readers to C. Auguste Dupin, a brilliant yet eccentric amateur sleuth in Paris who solves a brutal double murder that has baffled the police. 
    With chilling violence, locked-room mystery intrigue, and groundbreaking deductive reasoning, Poe sets the stage for generations of detective fiction. This is more than a crime story—it's an intellectual puzzle, steeped in gothic atmosphere and psychological insight. 
    In this gripping audiobook, Poe’s masterful prose comes alive with immersive narration that highlights the tension, the genius of deduction, and the eerie mood of 19th-century Paris. A must-listen for fans of mystery, gothic fiction, and classic literature.

    Just when you thought you could trust the robots again… 
    A senator's son is strangled by a synthoid in AsiaTown and, just like two other victims, tattooed with an indecipherable barcode. 
    Jake and Kim, his new partner, battle political corruption, the Chinese Triad, and Internal Affairs, discovering a disturbing Fourth Law of Robotics as they decode the tattoos to stop the deviant series of murders. 
    "It might not make sense, but the beloved Media tags it 'Murder by Munchausen.' For a price, there are hackers out there who will reprogram a synthoid to do your dirty work. The bad news: no fingerprints or DNA left at the crime scene. The good news—at least for us—is that they’re like missiles: once they hit their target, they’re usually as harmless as empty brass. The trick is to get them before they melt down their core OS data, so you can get the unit into forensics for analysis and, hopefully, an arrest." [excerpt from Murder by Munchausen]
