Forrest Tucker: The Bank Robber...

Waleed Saleh

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
In the annals of American criminal history, few stories captivate the imagination like that of Forrest Tucker—a man who transformed bank robbery into a profession and prison escape into high art. For sixty remarkable years, Tucker waged an intellectual war against the American penal system, executing an unprecedented 30 escape attempts with 18 stunning successes.
This meticulously researched biography takes readers deep into the mind of a criminal genius who refused to be broken by iron bars and concrete walls. From his troubled childhood during the Great Depression to his final, legendary escape from San Quentin Prison—America's most notorious maximum-security facility—Tucker's story reveals the extraordinary power of human will when pitted against impossible odds.
More than just a crime story, this book explores the complex psychology of rebellion, the thin line between genius and madness, and the eternal human quest for freedom. Tucker didn't just rob banks; he studied every prison like a scientist, turning each incarceration into a laboratory for innovation. His escapes weren't merely about freedom—they were masterpieces of planning, creativity, and audacious execution.
The climactic San Quentin escape, featuring a homemade boat, elaborate disguises, and split-second timing, reads like fiction but stands as documented historical fact. This operation broke a record that had stood unchallenged—no one had ever successfully escaped from San Quentin until Tucker and his accomplices proved that the impossible was merely improbable.
Based on extensive research, court records, and firsthand accounts, this book presents Tucker not as a hero or villain, but as a complex human being whose life raises profound questions about justice, freedom, and the price of refusing to surrender one's will to authority.

How to Live - Unlearning...

Kunal Gupta

Kunal Gupta climbed the ladder of success and found it leaning against the wrong wall.
He had it all. Despite being CEO of a thriving technology business, living on the 54th floor of a luxury condo building, traveling business class everywhere, having a life filled with luxury, being in a committed and loving relationship, and having optimal physical health, life felt empty.
"How to Live" follows Kunal’s path to experiment with life over a ten year journey where he quietly gave up material possessions for two years, slept on strangers' couches for over one hundred nights, jumped off cliffs to overcome fear, meditated daily for 10+ years and spontaneously moved to Portugal on three days notice.
Kunal takes readers on his transformative journey of self-discovery, moving from external validation to inner fulfillment. Guided by insatiable curiosity, Kunal embarked on a series of life experiments, challenging societal norms and inherited personal beliefs, with each experiment reshaping his perspective on life, success, and happiness.
“How to Live” is an invitation to redefine life by challenging the status quo and seeking true meaning and purpose. Drawing from philosophy and psychology, Kunal offers insights from his path to inspire others looking to challenge the belief patterns in their lives and live authentically.
Published by Spark, a new breed of publisher for the digital age, each chapter of "How to Live" offers bonus content accessible through special QR codes—including video messages from Kunal, exclusive photos, and behind-the-scenes interviews. This book is more than a memoir; it's an immersive experience that helps readers rediscover life's essence and find their path.

All In: How we build a country...

Lisa Nandy

‘A persuasive manifesto for a better Britain.’ Observer Book of the Day
Britain needs a fresh start. This timely book by one of the stars of the new government shows how to achieve it.
In this brilliant and accessible intervention, Lisa Nandy reveals how Britain can leave behind the mess in which we find ourselves. All In charts a course towards a fairer, more equal, more prosperous country by drawing on the greatest asset we have – each other.
Rapid global changes, political division and economic crisis have left Britain reeling. For decades, large swathes of the country have been shut out, condemned to low productivity, underinvestment and managed decline, and stripped of their voice. With most major cities now beset with high housing costs, air pollution and congestion, even the ‘winners’ are losing.
All In shows how, by handing power and resources to people with a stake in the outcome, Britain can draw on the talent, assets and potential in every part of the country and start firing on all cylinders again. Finding strength rather than fear in our differences, it reimagines the relationship between people and government so that all of us can play our part in meeting the challenges of our age and rebuilding Britain the only way that works – together.
Lucid, clear-eyed and hopeful, this book sets out how we restore values, energy and direction to our politics and offers a glimpse of the alternative future that remains within our grasp.
Nandy's autobiography is a personal exploration of the process of political change, offering a best case scenario for a united, prosperous Britain. Drawing on history and economics, she presents a compelling vision for the 21st century.

The New Ringer

Roland Breckwoldt

A shy young man from the suburban outskirts takes himself to Gulf Country on a 1960s boys own adventure that changes his life forever. 
 
'We can give you a start. You will need a six foot by four foot piece of canvas and blanket. If you stay for three months we will refund your fare. You will need to fly TAA out of Cloncurry and advise me your date of arrival.' 
And so began the adventures and misadventures of young Roland Breckwoldt. It was 1960. He was not yet sixteen, and the unworldly Roland was leaving his home on the semi-agricultural fringes of Sydney to work as a stockman on the vast cattle stations of the Gulf Country of North Queensland. 
A more unlikely stockman you would not find. Born in an internment camp in Central Victoria, his family had come to Australia from Germany via Shanghai. But it was out mustering on horseback and living in remote bush camps with characters as eccentric as any in outback Australia that Roland learnt about the world and discovered his place in it. 
Full of youthful stumbles and told with great freshness and gentle humour, this beautifully written coming of age story is a nostalgic and evocative reminder of a disappearing way of life. 
 
'A beautifully written - yet stunningly different - memoir of a young misfit. Absolutely loved it.'  RAY MARTIN
