Alien: Sea of Sorrows
Summary
Set 300 years after the events of Alien: Out of the Shadows and Alien: River of Pain, Alien: Sea of Sorrows deals with the rediscovery of dormant Xenomorphs (Aliens) in the abandoned mines of LV-178, the planetoid from Alien: Out of the Shadows, which has now been terraformed and renamed New Galveston. The Weyland-Yutani Corporation, reformed after the collapse of the United Systems Military, continue their unceasing efforts to weaponise the creatures, eliciting the help of Alan Decker, who is forced to join a team of mercenaries sent to investigate an ancient excavation lurking deep beneath the planet's toxic desert, dubbed the Sea of Sorrows. Somewhere in that long-forgotten dig lies the thing the company wants most in the universe - a living Xenomorph. Decker doesn't understand why the company needs him until his genetic heritage comes back to haunt him. Centuries ago one of his ancestors fought the Aliens, launching a bloody vendetta that was never satisfied. That was when the creatures swore revenge on his forbear, 'the Destroyer', Ellen Ripley...and all her descendants. This terrifying, cinematic multicast dramatisation - directed by the multiaward-winning Dirk Maggs, best known for his adaptations of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere for the BBC - is the sequel to Audible Originals' Alien: Out of the Shadows (nominated for Best Audio Drama at the 2017 Audies) and Alien: River of Pain. Full cast: Tom Alexander, Mark Arnold, Sagar Arya, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Laurence Bouvard, Philip Bullcock, John Chancer, Stockard Channing, Cedric Cirotteau, Simon Darwen, Andrea Deck, Oris Erhuero, Tony Gardner, Walles Hamonde, Andrew James Spooner, Lorelei King, Tayla Kovacevic Ebong, Laurel Lefkow, Sandra-Mae Luyck, Theo Maggs, Alan Marriott, Gary Martin, Pauline Mclynn, Eric Meyers, Naoko Mori, Sarah Pitard, Kerry Shale, Thomas Stroppell, Emma Swan, Martin T Sherman, Steve Toussaint and Ryan Wichert.

So You Want to Be President?
Summary
Non-Verbal Leaks: An in-depth clinical profile of ALL the Major Presidential Candidates for 2012, including incumbent President Barack Obama. Presidential Candidates are a group of people intimately aware of the images they present, the messages they convey, and the level of scrutiny they face. How can we see behind the mask? How can we get at the truth? What if there were a way to see the clues that leak out? What if there were a way to see through the posturing and the poise and see deeper into a candidate’s character? Professor Barry Goodfield, a world-renowned international profiler, focuses his highly developed analytical skills on one of the most important Presidential elections of our time. Dr. Goodfield has analyzed many other Presidents and political leaders in the past, including Saddam Hussein for the senior leadership of NATO, Slobodan Milosevic for the prosecutors at the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague and Usama bin Laden for a number of international intelligence services. In So You Want to Be My President?, Goodfield gives the reader and the voter an inside track into the deeper feelings, logic and approaches of those who are striving to occupy the Oval Office by stripping away some of the poise and polish and showing the reader what lies beneath the surface. This is a must listen for any real American and all believers in truth, justice and the American way. Be educated about the candidates in the next election: Their motivations, their desires, and even their fears.
