Summary

Travel to Syria isn’t always the safest choice, but it isn’t the political tension that’s the danger for Poe. No, the danger is linked to her latest book acquisition.

Poe Baxter once heard a man say if he could travel anywhere in the world, he’d visit Damascus, and she hasn’t thought about a visit to the city since. So when she hears that a rare codex from the 1st century has come onto the market there, she and Beattie book the next flight to see if they can buy it. Yet, when they arrive, they find there’s much more at stake than just a rare scroll.

Can centuries of secrets be unearthed safely? Or do they need to be buried again?

    USA TODAY BESTSELLER • R. K. Jackson’s lyrical, twisty psychological thriller follows an aspiring journalist who uncovers dark secrets in a windswept Southern town—guided by a mysterious outcast and hunted by a ruthless killer.  
When Martha Covington moves to Amberleen, Georgia, after her release from a psychiatric ward, she thinks her breakdown is behind her. A small town with a rich history, Amberleen feels like a fresh start. Taking a summer internship with the local historical society, Martha is tasked with gathering the stories of the Geechee residents of nearby Shell Heap Island, the descendants of slaves who have lived by their own traditions for the last three hundred years. 
As Martha delves into her work, the voices she thought she left behind start whispering again, and she begins to doubt her recovery. When a grisly murder occurs, Martha finds herself at the center of a perfect storm—and she’s the perfect suspect. Without a soul to vouch for her innocence or her sanity, Martha disappears into the wilderness, battling the pull of madness and struggling to piece together a supernatural puzzle of age-old resentments, broken promises, and cold-blooded murder. She finds an unexpected ally in a handsome young man fighting his own battles. With his help, Martha journeys through a terrifying labyrinth—to find the truth and clear her name, if she can survive to tell the tale.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  Echo Encounter - Abduction of a Screenplay 
By Manny Contreras 
When the world’s greatest threats hide in plain sight, only one man can see the truth. 
Blind since childhood but gifted with extraordinary echolocation, elite U.A.P. agent Ben Underhill is trained to hunt what humanity cannot detect—unseen entities responsible for global anomalies… and for the murder of his parents. When a covert mission beneath the Kremlin forces Ben to break protocol, he uncovers evidence of a new, impossible adversary operating in the shadows. 
Hundreds of miles away, Air Force Squadron Leader Mustang faces the unimaginable: a massive aircraft that appears on radar but remains invisible to the eye—and impervious to every weapon she fires. And in a Richmond, Virginia research lab, brilliant scientists Charlie Abbott and Brian Westfield launch a revolutionary, unhackable global internet signal… moments before an unseen force tears through their building and steals everything. 
Three events. One impossible pattern. 
As governments scramble, the U.A.P. Agency races to connect the dots. For Ben, the truth is more personal—and more dangerous—than anyone realizes. The enemy he has spent his life preparing to face has finally stepped into the open… and if he fails, humanity’s future may be rewritten. 
Fast-paced, cinematic, and relentlessly suspenseful, Echo Encounter blends sci-fi intrigue, military action, and emotional depth into a gripping tale of first contact—and the hidden war already underway.
