The Help of Angels

H.J. Zeger

The Help of Angels is a historical novel spanning from 1933 to the end of World War Two in 1945. The protagonist, Benjamin Weiss, grows up happy and healthy in a large, traditional Hungarian Jewish family, in a small city in Europe called Beregszasz, located by the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. When Benjamin becomes a man, the German and Hungarian armies aggressively occupy his home town and the rest of Hungary, and they begin their deportation process, transporting Jews and Gentiles to various concentration camps throughout Europe. Ben finds himself in a camp called Mauthausen, which was once located in Austria. He works hard to stay alive, and retains hope in spite of the atrocities he witnesses and experiences. When three high-ranking nazi officers visit Mauthausen, Ben's fate is thrown into question. The novel is loosely based on the author's family, their story of tragedy and survival during the Second World War, with the addition of some fantastical elements. The story follows the fate of one family, one man, and his friends, but tells how millions suffered at the hands of the ruthless Hungarian and Nazi war criminals. The Help of Angels invites audio book listeners to better understand life in Europe before and during the Holocaust, from a personal and highly unique perspective. The author's mother and father had been born in Hungary, and were survivors of concentration camps during the war. Their parents, some sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, neighbors and acquaintances did not survive. This audio book is a tribute to all who suffer and have suffered in war.

The Gentleman and the Spy - An...

Neil S. Plakcy

The Gentleman and the Spy is an 83,000 word Victorian-era lord and valet romance with a country house party and a touch of espionage and international intrigue. 
  
After his father's death Lord Magnus Dawson has more important things to think about than falling in love—like how to earn a living when all he knows is the idleness he was raised with, and the military training he received before selling his commission. 
  
For Toby Marsh, the impetus is as great, though he doesn't have Magnus's family connections to fall back on. A scholarship student at Cambridge, he was forced to spend his last year in college as valet and sometime tutor to a brainless fellow student after his father's sudden death. Now he scrabbles out a living as a freelance tutor. 
  
Then a call from the Foreign Office brings them together. Toby disdains the idle lordling, and Magnus can't seem to treat Toby as more than a servant. As they delve deeper into their assignment, the attraction between them grows. But can they envision a future together when so class and culture conspire to drive them apart?

Colton Gray Deputy US Marshal

William W. Johnstone, J. A....

Colton Gray doesn't look like your typical deputy marshal. He's too young and good-looking for a West Texas lawman. At least that's what his boss thinks. As captain, Marshal John Timmons feels this new kid Colton isn't up to the job—at least not yet—so he sends him on minor assignments to keep him out of Boot Hill. But to everyone's surprise, young Colton manages to track down Eli Doolin and Casey Tubbs, the notorious "Old Man Bank Robbers." Not only that, he claims he gunned them down in a shootout, earning high praise from the West Texas chief marshal's office. And a legend is born . . . 
 
 
 
But there's a hitch to the story: Colton Gray lied. 
 
 
 
Truth is, he never killed Doolin and Tubbs—not after learning the righteous reasons behind their crimes. Instead, he let those good old boys go free, as long as they promised to stop robbing banks. Sure, Colton may have bent the rules a little. But Colton knows he did the right thing. Sometimes a man has to forge his own path on the road to justice—even if that means going outside the law. Or lying to your boss. In his heart of hearts, Colton Gray knows he was born for the job of US deputy marshal. And sometimes that job gets a little dirty . . .

An unholy trio of cutthroat rustlers turn a routine horse drive into an epic showdown between good and evil—with a little divine justice from gunfighting legend Perley Gates . . . 
 
 
  
At first, the job sounds easy: lead a small herd of horses across the Arkansas–Texas border to the Double-D ranch near Texarkana. No problem—at least not for a man like Perley Gates. In fact, he's looking forward to the 150-mile journey with his old sidekick Possum Smith and young Sonny Rice, and doesn't expect any trouble along the way. Unfortunately, trouble has a way of finding Perley Gates. This time, it's a trigger-happy trio of horse thieves who take one look at old Possum, young Sonny, and the low-key Perley, and decide they're three very easy targets. But in the Old West, nothing comes easy. Except death . . . 
 
 
  
So begins one hell of a showdown. On one side are the forces of evil itself, with notorious gunslinger Spade Devlin gunning for blood. On the other side are a few good men, a town under seige—and a merciless angel of vengeance named Perley Gates . . .
