Right from its creation, the secret intelligence service of Great Britain was touched by a streak of ritual: its initiations were usually occult, its codes based on astrological or alchemical ciphers. When Faction Paradox first entered Earth history in the 1700s, the Service took an immediate interest in the new arrivals’ own ritual practices, and in the inevitable feud between British and Faction agents no single figure was as important as Sabbath.

Era: Human historical (later period). Technology: Military (self-contained), non-time-active. By the end of the fifth millennium AD, the homunculi created by the human species - clones, cross-breeds, fighting-machines and artificial intelligences of all descriptions - outnumbered humanity by more than thirteen to one: But even so, there were no creations like those of Peking. Heading a 1,000-strong army of individually-crafted automata, the 12 commanders were self-aware embodiments of the oriental zodiac, forged to a strict astrological design, and said to incorporate history itself in their operating program.

The demise of Earth was followed by a period in which there was, effectively, no such thing as the human species; a period in which humanity suddenly found itself released from its heritage, with genetic manipulation and vast tracts of space separating the survivors from everything they’d once been.

It’s now acknowledged that the Great Houses were largely responsible for creating the current shape of history, not simply by interfering in major events (although they may have dabbled) but by engineering the entire framework of history as a single definite structure. What’s less well-known is just how easy it is to access that structure’s foundations. Before the War, it was usual for Great House installations to be linked to the Houses’ “records library”, buried in the framework beneath normal time.

Franz von Kobell's Kurzgeschichte vom Brandner Kaspar, veröffentlicht 1871 in den "Fliegenden Blättern", ist ein Klassiker bairischer Erzählkunst und Sprache. Mehrere Dramatiker haben den Stoff für die Bühne bearbeitet, am erfolgreichsten Kobell's Großneffe Kurt Wilhelm mit "Der Brandner Kaspar und das ewig' Leben". 1975 uraufgeführt, brach das Stück bald alle Hausrekorde des Bayerischen Staatsschauspiels und steht noch heute auf dem Spielplan. Über 100 Bühnen haben es nachgespielt, es erschien als Roman und Hörspiel und wurde in fünf Fernsehfassungen dutzendmal gesendet.

Erstmals im Hörspiel: Der spannende Roman des Nobelpreisträgers, bekannt durch die berühmte Verfilmung mit James Dean. Es ist die Geschichte zweier ungleicher Brüder, die um die Liebe des Vaters buhlen und derselben Frau ins Netz gehen.

Über 40 namhafte Schauspieler und Schauspielerinnen und meisterhafte Soundcollagen entführen uns ins Amerika des Wilden Westens bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg.

Ein vorsätzlicher Mord und ein hochbegabter Mörder, der an seinen Schuldgefühlen zugrunde geht: "Schuld und Sühne" ist Dostojewskis wohl bekanntestes Werk. Das Hörspiel entwirrt nach und nach die Fieberträume und Erinnerungen Raskolnikows und offenbart so die Hintergründe der folgenschweren Tat.

Ungeschickt spioniert er ihr nach, landet dabei unter fremden Betten und verbündet sich sogar mit einem von Glafiras Liebhabern, um einen dritten Nebenbuhler zu überführen. Wie lässt sich das Gesellschaftsspiel gewinnen? Ein skurriles und unterhaltsames Hörspiel nach Dostojewskis humoristischer Erzählung "Die fremde Frau und der Mann unter dem Bett".
