Acerca de esta escucha
There is no such thing as a mundane existence. Adventure is everywhere around us. It is for us to recognize those stories that tantalize the mind and tickle the spirit. These stories are a mixture of romance, adventure, history, and a touch of science fiction. If nothing else, humans are humans in the journey of life. Enter into the following stories with an open mind and you will find the familiar and the unfamiliar that will cause some thought beyond the enjoyment of listening. "In the Arena" takes place in a warzone too familiar in the modern era; "Jump" takes an excursion into the dangers of greed coupled with genetic engineering; "New Moon Rising" juxtaposes an oncoming disaster with very human emotions; "Circle" goes back to the time of the expanding consciousness of misplaced people and the oncoming age of exploration; "Cenobyte" explores the place of the computer in theology; "Paper Claws" shows how what we make may protect us; "Autotroph" faces genetic engineering with how it affects one personally; and "The Last Prayer" proves love is the strongest emotion of all in the end. Listen on and enjoy a world that may not be as different as the one we live in.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 23
This novella will take the listener to a dystopian future - a world of adults where birthmothers are a privileged class and every child is a celebrity. Death has been conquered, but overcrowding has led to a government-enforced zero population growth. When Janice learns she is pregnant without authorization, she must find a life donor or forfeit her own. For every child born, someone must die. The math is simple, but the politics are complicated. Janice soon finds herself diving into a deep conspiracy.

On the night of July 15, 1903, Nikola Tesla powered up his 190-foot tower in Wardenclyffe on Long Island's North shore. The bolts of energy radiating from the apical dome were visible as far away as New Haven, Connecticut. This was the first and last time anyone would witness such a display. Three years later, broke and unable to secure further funding, Tesla abandoned the Wardenclyffe tower and his dream of worldwide wireless power. He returned to Manhattan where he promptly suffered a nervous breakdown. So say the history books.

This is mankind’s last chance. Centuries of greed, pride, and hate have sent humanity hurtling toward disaster, and far from its original purpose. There is only one solution that can reset the compass and right the ship, and it is only two words. With time running out, it is up to David Ponder and a cast of history’s best and brightest minds to uncover this solution before it is too late. The catch? They are allowed only five tries to discover the answer. Andy Andrews combines a riveting narrative with astounding history in order to show us the one thing we must do when we don’t know what to do.
