Beschreibung

Edgar Wallace's "The Just Men of Cordova" is a gripping exploration of justice and retribution, interwoven with thrilling elements of mystery and adventure. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Spain, the narrative follows a clandestine group known as the Just Men, who take the law into their own hands to punish the guilty when the official legal system fails. Wallace's literary style combines vivid descriptions with fast-paced action, making the reader feel as if they are part of the unfolding drama. This novel brilliantly reflects the societal tensions and moral dilemmas of its time, probing fundamental questions about justice and morality in a world rife with corruption and inequality. Edgar Wallace, a prolific English writer of the early 20th century, was known for his affinity for crime fiction and adventure narratives. His diverse background as a journalist and playwright significantly informed his storytelling, leading him to create complex plots and compelling characters. Wallace's fascination with the darker facets of human nature is apparent in this work, as he critiques both the legal system and the societal structures around justice—a reflection of his own experiences and observations of the world. Readers who enjoy thrilling narratives imbued with ethical quandaries will find "The Just Men of Cordova" to be a captivating amalgamation of suspense and moral inquiry. This novel not only entertains but also challenges the reader to reflect on the nature of justice itself. Enthusiasts of classic crime fiction and those interested in early 20th-century literature will find Wallace's work a compelling addition to their collection.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In Volume Three, the clock rewinds to the night the bombs fell. The story unfolds in Orange Beach, Alabama, where Josh McReynolds has finally carved out time for a long-overdue vacation. For Josh, who calls northeast Alabama home, the Gulf of Mexico has always been his sanctuary—the place where the roar of the waves drowns out the noise of work and life. 
    But peace doesn’t last long. Barely minutes into sitting on the balcony, soaking in the rhythm of the ocean, the world around him is ripped apart. Explosions light up the sky. Power dies. Chaos spreads like wildfire. 
    From that moment forward, Josh is thrust into a desperate fight for survival. What began as a week of rest quickly turns into a perilous journey north, away from the shattered coastline and towards the only place he knows to call home. With danger lurking at every step, the question remains: will Josh make it back, or has the world he left behind already ceased to exist?
