  When her position with the government is eliminated, Charity Styles is faced with an uncertain future. The only part of her previous life that she truly enjoyed was sailing her classic sloop. The cruising lifestyle is wonderful and helps keep her mind centered, as she sails from one anchorage to another, looking for her true calling.  
  But there are hidden dangers: marauding pirates, psychopaths, and drug smugglers run rampant throughout the Caribbean, leaving pain and suffering in their wake.  
  In the Bahamas, someone close to Charity falls victim to the brutality, leaving her alone and despondent with nobody to turn to. She wants revenge, but when other victims appear, she must change course, adjust her sails, and work to get them out of a very perilous situation.  
  Old friends arrive to help. But will their small entourage be sufficient? And will they be able to mobilize quickly enough?

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  Brace yourself for the awe and terror of The Star, H.G. Wells’ powerful short story of celestial doom and human indifference. When a mysterious star hurtles through space toward Earth, astronomers issue warnings—but the world goes on, oblivious. As the star draws nearer, global chaos erupts and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. 
  First published in 1897, The Star is a chilling tale of cosmic forces beyond our control, a blend of science, suspense, and philosophical reflection that still resonates today. This classic showcases Wells at his prophetic best—exploring our fragile place in the universe and the blindness of modern civilization in the face of existential threat. 
  Perfect for fans of apocalyptic fiction, cosmic horror, and thought-provoking science fiction.
