Sinossi

In "Pellucidar," Edgar Rice Burroughs masterfully constructs a captivating subterranean world, exploring themes of adventure, freedom, and the clash of civilizations. Set in the hollow earth, Burroughs introduces readers to a prehistoric land teeming with strange creatures and primitive tribes, all framed within an intricate narrative that blends science fiction, fantasy, and adventure. His vivid description and immersive storytelling style invite readers to experience the visceral thrill of exploration, while also engaging with critical reflections on imperialism and human nature, reflective of the early 20th-century literary context in which he wrote. Burroughs, renowned for creating the iconic character Tarzan, was influenced by his own fascination with adventure and exploration. Having worked in various occupations, including a stint as a businessman and a soldier, he channeled his experiences and dreams into vibrant narratives that resonate with readers seeking escapism. "Pellucidar" was birthed from Burroughs' desire to delve deeper into the human experience, experimenting with the boundaries of reality and imagination. This novel is a must-read for aficionados of speculative fiction and adventure tales. It offers a rich tapestry of escapism that not only entertains but also provokes thought about evolution and societal structures. Readers who appreciate imaginative world-building and profound themes will find "Pellucidar" an exhilarating journey worth embarking on.

    "... a wild ride sure to please lovers of supernatural historical mysteries." – Publishers Weekly 
    Thousands of exhibits. Millions of visitors. One fiendish killer. 
    Neva's goals at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago are simple. Enjoy the spectacle—perhaps the greatest the United States has ever put on (the world's fair to end all world's fairs!). Perform in the exposition's Algerian Theatre to the best of her abilities. And don't be found out as a witch. 
    Easy enough … until the morning she looks up in the theatre and sees strangely marked insects swarming a severed hand in the rafters. Before she can scream, the bugs drop and swarm her. 
    And every one of them seems to have a stinger. 
    They strike fast—it only takes them a moment to inject her with so much venom that the same strange marks begin to rise on her skin. She's horrified, but there's worse to come: once the insects disperse, a Columbian Guard notices her rashes and warns that five people with similar sores have been murdered and dismembered. Before they died, the victims also seem to have lost their minds. 
    Neva considers fleeing the exposition. But that won't stop her from going mad. So she marshals her powers and searches for the killer. 
    Within hours, it becomes clear he's searching for her too. 
    An intricate story with a breakneck pace, Witch in the White City blends history, mystery, and magic in a way that will appeal to fans of The Devil in the White City, The Golem and the Jinni, and Black Leopard, Red Wolf.

    Last Train to Dhanushkodi is a gripping thriller set against the haunting backdrop of one of India’s most tragic natural disasters.

When a monstrous tidal wave strikes, the line between life and death blurs, and the island city is swallowed by the sea. Through vivid narration and emotional depth, this audiobook captures the courage, fear, and final moments of those aboard the ill-fated train — the last one ever to reach Dhanushkodi. A story of nature’s fury, human spirit, and fate’s cruel twist, Last Train to Dhanushkodi will stay with listeners long after the final wave falls silent.
