Acerca de esta escucha
Listeners will encounter ingenious, world-shaping engineers; mind-bending meetings with God-like aliens; unfathomably massive space megastructures; ancient, super-intelligent hive minds; and a host of adventurous humans, struggling to negotiate the amazing storyscapes in this first collection of sci-fi stories from author P.E. Rowe.
This fictional tour of our amazing galaxy will introduce listeners to peerless musicians on the planetary rings around the gas giants Athos and Iophos, the dusty prospectors of Damon Mines, the reclusive settlers on the hidden space colony Denera, and even a cupcake-craving, fun-loving federation of comical aliens in the Scutum-Centaurus arm of the Milky Way. You might even learn how a space elevator gets built!
For all the ways this expansive collection reaches out, the beating heart at the center of every story is a human one—characters struggling to find their place in their time with the people around them who matter most.

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

2057. Humanity has raised exploiting the solar system to an art form. Bella Lind and the crew of her nuclear-powered ship, the Rockhopper, push ice. They mine comets. And they're good at it. The Rockhopper is nearing the end of its current mission cycle, and everyone is desperate for some much-needed R & R, when startling news arrives from Saturn: Janus, one of Saturn's ice moons, has inexplicably left its natural orbit and is now heading out of the solar system at high speed.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. George Orwell once wrote of a world where abuse of power begins with an abuse of language and a bastardization of truth. Some of today's most exciting voices in speculative fiction explore the ramifications of those ideas in Ignorance Is Strength.

A unique science fiction first-contact novel told from the aliens' point-of-view; a 21st-century Gulliver's Travels with Homo sapiens as the Lilliputians. The last thing the factfinders - who call themselves Life - expected to find while traveling in space in The Curious on a mission from their planet, The Living World, was other life. But one day they stumble upon the third planet out from a backwater sun and find it teeming with a vast diversity of life, including one sentient and cognizant, if primitive, species that they dub: Otherlife.
