  Bloody Nick Turnhouse has returned from Mauritius to Bombay, where he is welcomed with orders received from London by the overland route. He is to frighten the Spanish by showing himself in a powerful ship of war off Manila and then along the Pacific coast of South America, lands which have not seen an enemy in a generation. 
   
   
   
  Unfortunately, the expected ration carrier has failed to arrive and is presumed lost and there are no barrels of beef and bags of biscuit to fill his depleted hold. 
   
   
   
  Nick sets off on a year-long voyage with less than six months of stores to hand. He has to scavenge food that his conservative crew will eat, from lands that do not grow wheat and where the beef cow is a rarity. The best hope, he suspects, must be to capture Spanish ships and garrisons and rob them of their rations. 
   
   
   
  He makes sure that the spirits room is stacked high with rum.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  In the rugged California frontier of 1865, the Pruitt family stands at the center of a storm they never saw coming. Sheriff Joseph Pruitt has spent years walking a razor’s edge between duty and loyalty, guarding a dangerous secret about his outlaw brother, Randall. That fragile balance shatters when Thomas Pruitt returns to Auburn with his new bride, Rebecca, hoping to rebuild his life and mend the rift with his father. Instead, he finds a town simmering with tension and a family legacy far darker than he imagined. 
  As violence spreads across the region, Auburn becomes the target of calculated attacks tied to hidden gold, corrupt officials, and a powerful judge with his own agenda. Thomas is forced to confront the shadows of his past, hunted by men willing to spill blood to settle old debts. 
  At the heart of the turmoil stands Elizabeth Pruitt, whose sharp instincts and quiet courage make her an essential force in the fight for truth. Navigating treacherous alliances, she uncovers clues that tie the violence to long‑buried secrets that could destroy the family she’s fought to hold together. 
  Meanwhile, Randall’s gang closes in, driven by greed and a ruthless determination to claim what they believe is theirs. As danger escalates, Joseph’s mantra—“Family takes care of family”—takes on a chilling new meaning, forcing each member of the Pruitt clan to decide where their loyalties truly lie. 
  Loaded for Revenge delivers a gripping tale of frontier justice, tangled loyalties, and the high cost of survival in a land where law is fragile and betrayal cuts deep, where every choice carries consequences.

  Gloucestershire, 1813. Miss Mary Lound of Tapley End would be the first to say that she demonstrates more grace with a fishing rod in her hand than she might ever twirling in a ballroom. This was not, however, a problem until her ne'er-do-well brother sold the family estate, leaving Mary and her mother in very straitened circumstances. When the new owner, Sir Rowland Kempsey, takes up residence, Mary decides to direct her energies into recovering her beloved home by catching a husband. 
   
  Promisingly Sir Rowland thinks Miss Lound is a breath of fresh air. But with awkward attempts at flirtation, a duplicitous predator at large in the neighbourhood and the emergence of feelings that complicate her pragmatic goal, Mary discovers that landing the man she wants is more difficult than she had anticipated.

  The Lusiads (Os Lusíadas) is a Portuguese epic poem, written in the 16th century by Luis Vaz de Camões. The poem tells the tale of the Portuguese discoveries in the 15th and 16th centuries, specially the voyage to India by Vasco da Gama. Modelled after the classic epic tradition, Camões' Lusiads are considered not only the first literary text in Modern Portuguese, but also a national epic of the same level as Vergil's Aeneid. In the 19th century, Sir Richard Francis Burton translated Camões' Lusiads, in what he considered "the most pleasing literary labour of his life". (Summary by Leni)
