All is not well in the subterranean realm of The East End Reaper. The black markets of the capital are his: objective achieved. And so, he's off to the ends of the galaxy to deal with past demons - leaving a trail of mayhem which leads Song and Henchard, and the Reaper himself, to a most unexpected conclusion.

It's small and jewel-blue, with wings and a maniacal laugh. Brought back to life from the Ancient Days of the Empire, a gem-stone filching homunculus is loose in the capital. It's evil, obviously, and must be destroyed. It takes a street-wise orphan of the Neon Bowery to set the capital, and even Song, aright.

A tiny Victorian-machinery butterfly. A diabolical hit man. And lethal case-loads of the darkest narcotic in the galaxy: Black Asylum. The fuse is lit - where will the bomb go off? Even Song is running three steps behind in a redemptive story that's a guesser to the very end.

Here's an otherworldly science-fiction adventure from Transdimensional Media. Combining the humor and imagination of Ruby, with the pacing of Firesign Theatre, and an imagined world all its own, Dry Smoke and Whispers is a techno-noir drama with a sense of humor, and a memorable cast of characters. Emile Song, an eccentric, intelligent, and telepathic detective is given the task of catching the East End Reaper, a techno-fiend terrorizing the people of Quaymet.

Hannah More was British playwright, abolitionist, and philanthropist. This allegory is a witty portrayal of peoples’ daily concerns; the story calls on them to keep their mind on their heavenly destination and to prepare for it. “… one would have thought they would have been chiefly employed in packing up, and preparing, and getting everything in order. But this was so far from being the case, that it was almost the only thing which they did not think about.” 

L'"Utopia" di Thomas More rappresenta a pieno titolo il prototipo moderno della letteratura utopistica e visionaria. Suddiviso in due parti, l'audiolibro è incentrato sul dialogo di More con Raffaele Itlodeo ("il chiacchierone"). Questi, gran viaggiatore, esordisce con la descrizione a tinte vive dell'Inghilterra dell'epoca. Il fenomeno delle recinzioni, dell'espropriazione delle terre comuni a opera della nobiltà terriera, aveva condotto sul lastrico vaste componenti della società inglese, soprattutto i contadini.
