    When an unprecedented outbreak ravages communities across the globe, a dedicated scientist steps into the eye of the storm. Driven by a promise to honor his mentor’s legacy, he races against time to decode a pathogen unlike any seen before—one that mutates at lightning speed, evading every conventional treatment. As he delves into high‐stakes lab work, animal trials, and impassioned debates with public health officials, each discovery brings new hope and new peril. Listeners will be swept along as he uncovers the pathogen’s genetic fingerprints, navigates moral crossroads over dual‐use research, and marshals international teams to develop a lifesaving vaccine. In vivid detail—ranging from the sterile hum of sequencing machines to the tense corridors of makeshift isolation wards—Pathogenesis immerses audiences in a world where science and humanity collide. Narrated with urgency and heart, this audiobook celebrates the relentless pursuit of knowledge, the resilience born of collaboration, and the power of one determined individual to ignite change.

    The Big Four

    Originally published as a series of short stories in Sketch magazine, this tale of international intrigue and espionage begins when a visitor stumbles into detective Hercule Poirot's bedroom. In the final moments before his death, he tells Poirot of the crime cartel known only as the Big Four. What follows is Hercule Poirot's biggest case yet, taking him and his sidekick Arthur Hastings on the trail of the Big Four before their plans to take control of the world unfold. Note: The Big Four contains characterization and thematic elements representative of prejudiced beliefs, particularly Sinophobia and Orientalism. While these views were never legitimate nor equitable, they were unfortunately commonplace at the time of writing and publication. Rather than glossing over this painful dimension of literary history, this audiobook edition references the text as it was originally published so that it may be included when taking into consideration the overall impact of Agatha Christie's body of work. The beliefs and views present in this book do not reflect that of the publisher's.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In the first installment of the Midnight Rider Trilogy, Zac King is a moto-journalist writing a story about the eight million Americans who work the graveyard shift. It is a tale of night shifters and graveyard tanker yankers traversing the dark tarmac at witching hour. On a mission, the longer Zac rode the deeper and darker the story became. What was this bloody trail of buried bones called the Corridor of Death? Who is abducting 2000 people a day, half a million people in the U.S. yearly and what are the motives? These questions, and many more, he never knew existed now haunt his dreams.
