  The Scarlet Pimpernel

  “Thus human beings judge of one another, superficially, casually, throwing contempt on one another, with but little reason, and no charity.” 
  There is more to Sir Percy Blakeney than meets the eye. Everyone (including his estranged wife) consider Percy to be nothing more than a fool. But among the exclusive group of Englishmen who form the League of the Pimpernel, he is a master swordsman and rescuer of French aristocrats from Madame la Guillotine. 
  At the height of the Reign of Terror, executions were a daily occurrence. Any members of the French aristocracy merely suspected of treason could be sentenced to death by the tribunal. There was no hope of justice or mercy, or even a fair trial. Only the Scarlet Pimpernel could rescue them from their fate and bring them to safety at the coast of England. With each rescue, the public prosecutor would find a paper with the image of a little red flower, a scarlet pimpernel. 
  The Scarlet Pimpernel blazed trails for other unlikely superheroes with a secret identity, including Batman, Zorro, Black Widow, and many more. Listen to this inAudio production and discover why Spiderman creator Stan Lee says the Scarlet Pimpernel is “the first character who could be called a superhero.”

  In this volume our trusted band of authors write fervently in pursuit of something that just needs proving with a small, very simple, experiment or two.  What could possibly go wrong?

  Unnatural Acts - Dan Shamble...

  “Wickedly funny, deviously twisted and enormously satisfying. This is a big juicy bite of zombie goodness. Two decaying thumbs up.”—Jonathan Maberry 
  To be dead, or not to be dead… 
  In the Unnatural Quarter, golems slave away in sweatshops, necromancers sell black-market trinkets to tourists, and the dead rise up—to work the night shift. But zombie detective Dan Shamble is no ordinary working stiff. 
  When a local senator and his goons picket a ghostly production of Shakespeare in the Dark—condemning the troupe’s “unnatural” lifestyles—Dan smells something rotten. And if something smells rotten to a zombie, you’re in serious trouble…. 
  Before his way of life, er, death is destroyed, Dan wants answers. Along the way, he needs to provide security for a mummified madame, defend a mixed-race couple (he’s a vampire, she’s a werewolf) from housing discrimination, and save his favorite watering hole, the Goblin Tavern, from drying up. Throw in a hairy hit-man and a bank robber who walks through walls, and Dan Shamble’s plate is full. 
  Maybe this time the zombie detective has bitten off more than he can chew… 
  “A darkly funny, wonderfully original detective tale.”—Kelley Armstrong 
  “Sharp and funny; this zombie detective rocks! Loved it!”—Patricia Briggs 
  “An unpredictable walk on the weird side. Prepare to be entertained.”—Charlaine Harris
