  Set in 1884, Hell on the Border tells the story of Deputy US Marshal Bass Reeves at the peak of his historic career. Famous for being a crack shot as well as for his nonviolent tendencies, Reeves uses his African American race to his strategic advantage. Along with a tramp or cowboy disguise, Reeves appears so nonthreatening that he often positions himself close enough to the outlaws he is pursuing to arrest them without bloodshed. 
   
   
   
  After a series of heroic feats of capturing and killing infamous outlaws—most notably Jim Webb—and an introduction to Belle Starr, Reeves finds himself in the Fort Smith jail, charged with murder. This second book in the Bass Reeves Trilogy investigates what really happened when Reeves made the greatest mistake of his life on the heels of his greatest achievements.

  A New York Times–bestselling novel of the ancient king of Macedon and his lover by the author Hilary Mantel calls “a shining light.”The Persian Boy centers on the most tempestuous years of Alexander the Great’s life, as seen through the eyes of his lover and most faithful attendant, Bagoas. When Bagoas is very young, his father is murdered and he is sold as a slave to King Darius of Persia. Then, when Alexander conquers the land, he is given Bagoas as a gift, and the boy is besotted. This passion comes at a time when much is at stake—Alexander has two wives, conflicts are ablaze, and plots on the Macedon king’s life abound. The result is a riveting account of a great conqueror’s years of triumph and, ultimately, heartbreak.The Persian Boy is the second volume of the Novels of Alexander the Great trilogy, which also includes Fire from Heaven and Funeral Games.This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary Renault including rare images of the author.“Mary Renault is a shining light to both historical novelists and their readers. She does not pretend the past is like the present, or that the people of ancient Greece were just like us. She shows us their strangeness; discerning, sure-footed, challenging our values, piquing our curiosity, she leads us through an alien landscape that moves and delights us.” —Hilary Mantel

  Girl Brownies The - Ashdown...

  THE GIRL BROWNIES – ASHDOWN FOREST, ENGLAND 1919 
  Book 3 of 6  The Secret of the Whispering Woods 
  The summary of this third book in the series is as follows: 
  In October 1919, the Brownies—Lulu, Minnie, Lottie, Agatha, Bernadette, and Beryl—embark on a moonlit meteor-watching hike in Ashdown Forest. Their adventure takes a supernatural turn when whispers guide them to a hidden stone circle, where eerie phenomena unfold: cracking monoliths, sentient mist, and ghostly visions. With archaeologist Dr. Eleanor Finch, they uncover the circle's secrets—an ancient Druid observatory using piezoelectric stones and sound channels to create "ghostly" projections. 
  Deciphering Saxon clues, the girls find buried crown jewels tied to King Harold, while scientific explanations (infrasound, ley lines) blend with local folklore about whispering spirits. Minnie's discovery of a royal artifact proves the stones guarded Harold's lost treasure. Though science explains much, the forest's final whisper—"More secrets await..."—hints at deeper mysteries. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music, “Joyful Journey”, which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, recorder, tambourine,guitar and accordion in a folk/classical and cheerful mood. The closing music, “Bloom”, ends the tale on with more of the same at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments etc. but more of an ending feel and looking forward to the next story in the series.  
  The story and music itself runs to just about 14 minutes and is narrated in my wife's voice, Claire, who actually was a ranger guide!  
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come
