Three years ago, the Legendarium, a metaphysical library at the nexus of the multiverse in which is stored every book ever written in the history of the world, was threatened with utter destruction. But two unlikely and unqualified heroes stood up to save it. Or, maybe, they saved it on accident. In any case, they were given credit for saving it. Now, a new old enemy rises and threatens reality itself, and as improbable as it sounds, only Bombo Dawson and Alistair Foley can stop it.

It is the ultimate battle between good and evil. A virus, millions of years old, has been released and is killing all of mankind.

How can a dying man's blood save humanity? What will evil do to stop mankind's survival? Is evil really in control of the virus? Can a cure be found before all life is gone?

Now, in a time of growing illiteracy, two heroes are chosen to defend The Legendarium.

It is now known that we live in a galaxy with more planets than stars. The Milky Way alone encompasses 30 trillion potential home planets. Scientists Trefil and Summers bring listeners on a marvelous experimental voyage through the possibilities of life-unlike anything we have experienced so far - that could exist on planets outside our own solar system. 

Since its 2009 launch, the Kepler satellite has discovered more than 2,000 exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system. More exoplanets are being discovered all the time, remarkable in their variety. Astronomer Michael Summers and physicist James Trefil explore these remarkable recent discoveries: planets revolving around pulsars, planets made of diamond, planets that are mostly water, and numerous rogue planets wandering through the emptiness of space.
