Sinossi

Germany, Autumn 1945. Fausto Tancredi, a young teacher in history of philosophy, an Italian-American of Jewish descent, is chosen by the State Department to re-educate a group of young Germans imprisoned in a castle in the Black Forest. He will have to face the contempt of the guys, the distrust of a rude US Army major, and the more insidious enemy: the difficulty in reconciling the duty to remember with the need for a forgiveness that opens the doors of the future to a whole people.

    Written and Narrated by: Mark L. Redmond 
    Produced and Published by: Audiobook Publishing Services 
    Ride into the heart of the Old West with Bounty Hunter Nate Landry: Major Issues — a gripping Western adventure audiobook by Mark L. Redmond, brought to life in his own powerful narration. 
    In the rugged wilds of the Arizona Territory, justice is swift and survival is earned. Nate Landry, a fearless bounty hunter, lives by a simple code: deliver the law where none exists. But when Anna Thomas pleads for his help to rescue her kidnapped son from the same outlaws who murdered her husband, Nate refuses—until he learns the name of the man behind it all. 
    Among the ruthless gang rides Major Campbell, a sadistic killer from Nate’s past in the Civil War, and the infamous Parson brothers, men who deal in blood rather than mercy. Joined by his loyal partner Wolf, and despite his better judgment, Nate takes on the perilous mission. When Anna insists on riding with them, the line between justice and vengeance blurs in a storm of gunfire, grit, and redemption. 
    Bounty Hunter Nate Landry: Major Issues is an unforgettable Western fiction audiobook packed with action, suspense, and frontier justice. With vivid storytelling, rugged realism, and emotional depth, Mark L. Redmond captures the essence of life on the edge of civilization—where every choice can mean life or death.

    Riding shotgun, Red Ryan leads a doomed stagecoach of the damned on the longest, deadliest journey of his life . . .  
     
     
     
    FIVE PASSENGERS. 400 MILES. 1,000 WAYS TO DIE. 
     
     
     
    According to local legend, the stagecoach known as the Gray Ghost is either haunted, cursed, or just plain unlucky. Each of its last three drivers and three more riding shotgun came to a violent, bloody end. And now it's Red Ryan's turn to guard five foolhardy passengers on the stage's next—and possibly last—trip. The travelers are a small troupe of performers with dark histories of their own: a song-and-dance man with a drinking problem, a juggler with a secret, a knife thrower with a past, and a beautiful fan dancer who's on the run from a one-eyed, vengeance-seeking outlaw . . .  
     
     
      
    Red's not the superstitious type. But with Apaches on the warpath with bloodlust—and a one-eyed cutthroat killer on his trail—this 400 mile journey is like something straight out of his worst nightmare. And all the roads lead straight to hell . . .

    IN THE MIDST OF BLOODSHED AND REBELLION A NEW GENERATION STRUGGLED TO BE BORN...
     
    The fifth book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
     
    In the British colony of Australia, the obstacles are challenging and never-ending. The new governor, Bligh — better known for his command on the Bounty and the mutiny against him — has already gained a relentless enemy: The New South Wales Corps, also known as The Rum Corps due to their profitable side business. Governor Bligh's other enemies are the Irish rebels — who wish to end his life!
    And what will be the fate of Jenny Taggart-Broome now? 
    The hardships of life in the colony, as always, hit "regular" people the hardest.
     
    Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.

    In the shadows of the great Oxford English Dictionary, a quiet revolution is born.
     
    The Dictionary of Lost Words tells the unforgettable story of Esme, a girl raised in a world of words—yet silenced by the very system that defines them. While her father and his colleagues work tirelessly to preserve the English language, Esme discovers a parallel truth: the most powerful words are often the ones left out—spoken by women, the working class, and the unheard.
     
    From whispered lullabies to protest chants and forgotten dialects, Esme collects discarded words, building her own dictionary in defiance of the era’s limitations. As she grows from curious child to determined woman, she begins to understand that language isn’t neutral—it’s shaped by power, history, and exclusion.
