  The Secret Flight of Friendship Eleven by Alfred Connable - Behind closed doors and under the cover of night, a spacecraft rises. Conceived in confidence and launched in silence, this is the unforgettable tale of Friendship Eleven. 
  In its major details, project Friendship Eleven was perhaps the best-kept secret since Hiroshima. It was initiated on August 14, 1961, following a massive screening of potential astronauts. Because of the flight's special purposes (unknown even to us before blast-off time), qualifying interviews and examinations used rigid criteria which were largely foreign to the previous experience of the examiners.  
  Seven astronauts were chosen, but by the end of the first month's tests it became apparent that one of them was unsuitable. This was our first confused clue that something extraordinary was afoot. Robin Hood (his true name) had been a picturesque aviator of some renown in the early 1940's. Barely two weeks before Pearl Harbor, he had won the Distinguished Flying Cross for destroying nine suspicious aircraft, including occupants, which had approached him one evening in a beautiful moonlit sky over the Fiji Islands.  
  It was a particular misfortune that Major Hood should fail so early in the training period. Project spokesmen had considered him a prime contender for orbit. Curiously, they repeatedly praised him as the leading, and most consistently articulate, contributor to the poetry section of The Air Force Times. Incidentally (which was not known to us at the time), his demise left the Project without a single experienced test pilot.

  The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
  Book 4 of 7 The Curse of Alizon Device 
  The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
  Alizon Device, a young healer from Pendle Hill, accidentally unleashed her latent witchcraft powers during a heated encounter with peddler John Law. When he refused to sell her pins, her angry curse left him paralyzed—a consequence she immediately regretted. Her desperate attempt to apologize became a damning confession when Law's son reported her to witch-hunter Roger Nowell. 
  Imprisoned in Lancaster Gaol, Alizon implicated her family under pressure, including her blind grandmother, Old Demdike, who died before trial. A spectral crow offered her freedom if she betrayed her kin, but she refused. At trial, her nine-year-old sister Jennet's testimony sealed their fate. 
  On August 20, 1612, Alizon was hanged, maintaining her remorse but not her innocence. Her story endures as a tragic tale of unchecked power, familial betrayal, and the deadly consequences of fear in 17th-century England. 
  This is the fourth book in a series of seven audiobooks and I do hope you enjoy and it's only $3 dollars. 
  The initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!  
  The story itself runs to about 15 minutes, and and is narrated in my own voice. 
  I do hope you and enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

  Eddie Hertz is smart, real smart. He has to be. What other twelve-year-old patrols the streets of Nirvana alone, hoping to foil the schemes of the evil Mephisto? Since Eddie is small for his age, he trusts in his Batman-style gadgets belt and acrobatic skills as well as lots of experience, like knowing how to swing across dark alleys without being seen. Eddie has a dream, to become like Damocles, Nirvana’s great superhero. To make that dream come true, Eddie invented a device that is supposed to give him superpowers, but using it on himself might be dangerous, possibly fatal. He doesn’t have the nerve to try it. When Mephisto unleashes an earthquake machine to terrorize the city, Eddie gets a surprising teammate — his quirky eight-year-old sister, Samantha, who comes up with an unexpected way to help Eddie in the frantic battle to prevent the biggest earthquake of all. Since Damocles is unable to join the fight, Eddie and Samantha are the only hope for Nirvana and the world.
