  Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, philosopher, and Academic skeptic who became a prominent figure in the political and intellectual life of the late Roman Republic. He is best remembered for his eloquence and his staunch defense of ethical ideals in the face of political turmoil, a period that ultimately led to the rise of the Roman Empire. Cicero’s influence extended far beyond his time as he became one of Rome's most revered orators and prose stylists, producing an extensive body of work encompassing treatises on rhetoric, philosophy, and politics. His works remain fundamental to the study of Latin and Western philosophy today. 
  Cicero was born into a wealthy municipal family within the Roman equestrian order and held the esteemed office of consul in 63 BC, a significant achievement in his career. His oratorical prowess was unrivaled, and his skill in public speaking earned him a reputation that endured through the centuries. His publications spanned a broad range of subjects, from the theoretical aspects of rhetoric to the practical concerns of governance and philosophy. Cicero’s mastery of the Latin language was profound—he is said to have written over three-quarters of all surviving Latin literature from his time. His works, characterized by their clarity and depth, formed the foundation for subsequent Latin prose, influencing European languages and thinkers well into the 19th century.

  A coastal town divided. A community in exile. A fight for justice that shook the Gulf.
   
  The Fishermen and the Dragon is a powerful, real-life thriller that blends civil rights, environmental crime, and cultural collision into one unforgettable narrative. Set in the fishing towns of Texas in the 1970s and 80s, it tells the true story of Vietnamese refugees fleeing war—only to face hostility, racism, and violence from the Ku Klux Klan and petrochemical giants.
   
  But this is more than a story of conflict. It’s a story of courage. Of immigrants and locals uniting against pollution, intimidation, and injustice. Of communities transforming pain into purpose and resistance into renewal.
   
  Through deeply human storytelling and gripping investigative detail, this audiobook explores what happens when ordinary people refuse to stay silent—choosing instead to lead, protect, and rise together.
   
  If you believe that real leadership begins at the grassroots, that legacy is forged in resilience, and that justice is a fight worth waging, this is a story you’ll never forget.
   
  The dragon was real. So were the heroes who faced it.
