Beschreibung

In "The Chronicles of Fairy Land," Fergus Hume invites readers into a richly imaginative realm where whimsy meets moral reflection. The narrative is woven with Victorian sensibilities, employing lyrical prose and enchanting allegories that captivate both the childlike and adventurous spirit. Hume's deft storytelling traverses various fantastical landscapes, blending elements of folklore and the supernatural while addressing pertinent themes of virtue, morality, and the human condition. The book not only entertains but also transforms traditional fairy tales into vehicles for social commentary, echoing the shifting cultural landscape of 19th-century England. Fergus Hume, a prominent figure in the world of Victorian literature, gained popularity through his skill in crafting mystery and supernatural tales. His own experiences navigating the complexities of society and the literary market during a time of transformation undoubtedly influenced his penchant for blending fantasy with deeper, often existential reflections. Hume, often overshadowed by his contemporaries, possessed a unique voice that straddled the divide between genres, making his work both relevant and innovative for its time. "The Chronicles of Fairy Land" is recommended for readers who appreciate rich storytelling infused with moral depth and imaginative escapism. Whether you are drawn to fairy tales, intrigued by Victorian literature, or simply seeking a narrative that inspires wonder and contemplation, this book offers an enchanting journey that resonates with timeless truths.

    When the fake fortune teller receives the gift of the Oracle, it comes with strings attached. Olympic-sized strings. 
    I am no saint and certainly no sacred advisor. Telling people what they want to hear or giving advice is something that has come naturally to me. It's how I earn my bread and butter. However, I have no real gift of prophecy. 
    Or, at least I thought. Turns out my Greek grandparents forgot to tell me one important detail. I'm a direct descendant of the Oracles of Delphi. 
    When my ex lands me in legal trouble, I make a rash decision and sign on to be the next Oracle. I can always get out of the deal, right? 
    Wrong. 
    I've signed my name in blood and that's physically binding to someone of my lineage. Being magical isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Especially, when you find yourself embroiled in an eons old family feud. 
    Now, I must learn to access my oracular gifts and make allies fast or end up like the last Oracle--Dead. Hermes has offered to help me with both, but I've trusted handsome men before and got burnt. That's how I ended up in this position in the first place. 
    Race with me across the United States to the Washington Olympics to claim my position before my enemies can stop me. 
    Fans of K.F. Breene, Shannon Mayer, Lindsay Buroker, and Ilona Andrews will love this modern epic.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    When the world as we know it crumbles beneath catastrophic storms and ancient forces reawaken, humanity is forever changed. 
    In the aftermath of global ruin, a new breed rises—genetically altered hybrids forged by chaos and instinct. Part human, part beast, they struggle to survive in a land reshaped by destruction, mystery, and myth. Tribes form, power shifts, and trust is a rare commodity in this brutal new order. 
    Among the survivors, unlikely alliances form as hybrid warriors embark on a harrowing journey through treacherous terrain, both physical and spiritual. Hunted by enemies, haunted by memories, and driven by a primal call they barely understand, they must uncover the truth about their transformation—and what it means for the future of their kind. 
    Forever Changed is the explosive first volume in The Human Hybrid Odyssey, a cinematic sci-fi saga blending action, ancient legends, and speculative evolution. This is not just a battle for survival. It's the origin of a new species—and the beginning of an unforgettable odyssey.

    Imagine a world, exactly like ours, but different… 
         Welcome to the H2LiftShips series, a cosmic romp fans have compared to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for its witty quirkiness, and that critics hail as "The most unique and weirdest book series out there." 
         Captain Graciela is where she wants to be, far from her controlling mother, in a rented solar sail cargo ship, trading and gambling throughout the heliosphere. It can be lonely in the void, but the crew on the H2LiftShip, the LunaCola, is all the help she needs: Jack, a talking dog with a nose for Earth jerky, Tang, a poker-obsessed orangutan, and Octopus, in his watery navigation station, are her constant companions on her journey. 
         In book one, Beyond Luna, the crew sets off on a space adventure that has them crossing paths with everything from pirates, anarchists, and poker players, to jail time. Part action-adventure space opera and part tech manual of a possible future, the H2LiftShips series imagines a world where hydrogen balloons lift solar sail ships through outer space to trade goods across planets and asteroids. Here, commerce is the name of the game. 
         Even in deep space, there is no avoiding family issues. When Graciela inadvertently meets her duplicitous mother on a distant rock, it ignites a family showdown between pirates, thieves, and gamblers. Will Graciela rescue her mother and win it all in a rigged card game, or will the crew lose everything? 
         Find out in the first volume of the H2LiftShips series – Beyond Luna, where lovers of science, astronomy, chemistry, physics, engineering, and good old-fashioned sci-fi fun will never be the same after their ride on an H2LiftShip.
