Sinossi

In the classic science fiction novel 'Black Amazon of Mars', Leigh Brackett takes readers on an adventurous journey to the red planet, where Captain Stark must navigate political intrigue and battle ancient creatures. The book is characterized by its vivid descriptions of the Martian landscape and the timeless themes of honor, duty, and sacrifice. Brackett's language is reminiscent of pulp science fiction, with a fast-paced narrative that keeps readers engaged until the very end. 'Black Amazon of Mars' is a timeless piece of literature that still resonates with audiences today, offering a glimpse into a thrilling and dangerous world beyond our own. Leigh Brackett, known for her contributions to the science fiction and fantasy genres, was a pioneering female writer in a male-dominated industry. Her experiences in Hollywood as a screenwriter influenced her storytelling, adding depth and complexity to her characters and plots. 'Black Amazon of Mars' showcases Brackett's talent for world-building and her ability to craft compelling, action-packed narratives that captivate readers of all ages. I highly recommend 'Black Amazon of Mars' to fans of classic science fiction and adventure stories. Brackett's masterful storytelling and imaginative world-building make this novel a must-read for anyone seeking an exciting escape to the mysterious planet of Mars.

    "The Profound - Part 1" is the first volume of a narrative spanning many volumes. This series is a slow burn that introduces the reader into a world both magic and scary.  
    James Tannot, a young Irishman from Dublin, actually has no aspirations of becoming a hero or an enlightened master. His main objective is to enjoy his time as a medical student in Southern France and graduate as an MD from Marseille University. However, he fails the entrance exam and shortly thereafter meets a peculiar Armenian doctor who introduces him to a secret community of healers and magicians called the Cymdeithas. They take him in and aim to turn him into a healer. Suddenly, James finds himself in a world where sorcery and supernatural abilities are as real as a supermarket in the ordinary world. 
    And there is more: during his training with the Cymdeithas, James not only encounters his soulmate, Manush, but also discovers that in this course of study, he must be willing to risk his life. But, please do not get this series wrong. There are no vampires and sex driven demons, there are no magic wands and there is no exhilarating battle between good and evil. The narrative in this series is far more complex. The story is infused with spiritual teachings from all sorts of traditions and is just as much about a personal journey of healing, as it is about the obstacles humanity faces in its struggle to overcome evil, boredom and the curse of no-meaning. Though a fantasy novel, the author weaves an intriguing story that is more about our everyday reality, than one may think. So, if you simply want to listen to a thrilling adventure void of meaning for your real life: don't listen. But if you believe that there is more to life than what meets the eye, if you alway felt, that something in our world is off, then go ahead.
