Bite Club - Real-life attacks by...

Douglas Wight

It’s a trauma like no other. 
Being perceived as a threat or, worse, hunted as food makes an animal attack a unique ordeal. Suddenly you’re helpless, at its mercy. When an animal strikes it is lightning fast, determined and can’t be reasoned with. Often brutally violent, such an attack can leave horrific injuries, both physical and emotional that endure long after the encounter. 
Whether it’s a great white shark, a bear, lion, or other deadly predator, the impact such attacks can have on the victim, their families, the communities, and the wider human psyche is often profound and enduring. And when you add the media attention that such incidents often attract, the actual bite might not be the only attack a survivor has to endure. 
In Bite Club, we meet brave people from around the world who have come face to face with sharks or other deadly predators and lived to tell the tale. And we learn of the group of survivors who are supporting each other to navigate, recover and grow from what is for many, their most traumatic experience ever.

Annunaki: The Alien Gods

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
A mysterious land and culture that is the origin of our very society, cultures and religions. A place and time so old that we can only piece together it’s history through myths and legends. And yet, it is a time and place so important to the history of mankind that we should be focussing all our efforts to uncover the truth. And that truth is in fact so amazing, so bizarre, that it staggers belief. 
 
Ancient aliens came thousands of years ago. They genetically engineered a slave species we now call the human race. They were gods in the land with incredible technology and wisdom. And they have left their mark for us to find. They are the ancient Mesopotamian deities we call the Anunnaki.

Her memoir affirms the power of healing and joy, no matter the odds.
