  An entertaining, funny, and empathy-building story about underdogs who will stop at nothing to prove they’re remarkable too.   
  Jax has something to prove. After trying out for the basketball team, he and his friend Nic don’t make the final cut. Sure, Jax might be the shortest kid in the seventh grade, and Nic might not have a lot of confidence, but they’ve got skills.  
  Luke is the tallest kid in the seventh grade. He’s not bad at basketball, but he didn’t even try out for the team. Instead, Luke’s an aspiring actor and auditioned for the school play. Unfortunately, he didn’t get cast.   
  Jax and Luke decide to take matters into their own hands. They have a wacky, wild, outrageous idea, a plan that is sure to fail—unless it doesn’t.  
  Jax decides to form his own basketball team and challenge the school team. Luke agrees to join the team, on the condition that Jax and his friends help Luke compete in a regional drama competition.   
  Miley, probably the smartest kid at school, agrees to help both Jax and Luke. She’s been reading up on sports science and thinks she might have found a way for her friends to win through math.   
  Can a team of underdogs prove to the whole school that they have what it takes to be noticed, or will it all go horribly wrong?

  JUPITER RISING – THE CELESTIAL CHRONICLES 
  Book 5 of 6  -  The Cry of Europa 
  This story is summarized as follows: 
  When Research Station Galileo falls silent on Jupiter’s moon Europa, Captain Minerva Voss and her crew discover a nightmare—the researchers driven mad or dead by contact with a crystalline substance from the subsurface ocean. Venturing below the ice, they encounter the Abyssal, an ancient aquatic civilization guarding a terrifying truth: Jupiter (Jove) is a sentient cosmic entity, bound by humanity’s forgotten ancestors. The Abyssal reveal humanity’s engineered origins and the Syndicate’s quest to weaponize this knowledge (Project Ixion). As Syndicate forces attack, Minerva uses her Sagittari medallion to erect a psychic barrier, protecting the Abyssal’s secrets. The survivors escape, but Minerva now bears the weight of cosmic revelation—Jove’s awakening is inevitable, and the Syndicate’s hunt for control has only begun. Europa’s cry echoes a warning: some truths are too vast for unprepared minds, and humanity’s past may dictate its survival.  
  This is the fifth of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this fourth instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
  The initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 1/2 minutes and prepares you for the start, synthesizer, bass and cymbals in a soul/funk form. The closing music ends the tale on a darker tone and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added.  
  The story itself runs to about 30 plus minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

  Racing to Victory - A...

  Track and field is one of the oldest and most celebrated sports in human history, dating back to ancient civilizations. Rooted in the basic human movements of running, jumping, and throwing, it has evolved into a dynamic and diverse athletic discipline that tests physical prowess, mental resilience, and strategic thinking. This chapter provides an overview of the sport, its rich history, and the variety of events that make up its exciting landscape. 
  The origins of track and field can be traced to the ancient Olympic Games in Greece, where events such as the stadion race—a short sprint—and the pentathlon captivated audiences. Over centuries, the sport expanded and adapted, becoming a cornerstone of modern athletics. Today, it encompasses a wide range of events, divided into three main categories: track events, field events, and combined events. 
  Track events include sprints, middle-distance and long-distance races, hurdles, and relays. These races test speed, endurance, and teamwork, often decided by fractions of a second. Field events, on the other hand, showcase an athlete's power and precision. Competitors excel in throwing disciplines such as shot put, discus, and javelin, as well as jumping events like the long jump, high jump, triple jump, and pole vault. Combined events, such as the decathlon and heptathlon, require athletes to master a mix of track and field disciplines, demanding unparalleled versatility.

  The names of history’s most famous battles still ring in our ears today, their influence immediately understood by all. Marathon lent its name to the world’s most famous race, but it also preserved Western civilization during the First Persian War. Saratoga, won by one of the colonists’ most renowned war heroes before he became his nation’s most vile traitor. Hastings ensured the Normans’ success in England and changed the course of British history. Waterloo, which marked the reshaping of the European continent and Napoleon’s doom, has now become part of the English lexicon.  
  Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War and its biggest battles, and this audiobook explains the campaigns and events that brought about decisive battles like Gettysburg, Second Bull Run, Chancellorsville, Chickamauga, Antietam, Murfreesboro, and more, along with what went right and wrong on both sides and the aftermath of the battles. Accounts of the battles by important leaders like Sherman and Grant are cited, along with analysis of the generals and fighting.
