  Act of Oblivion is a sweeping historical thriller set in the turbulent aftermath of the English Civil War. It follows the gripping manhunt for Edward Whalley and William Goffe, two of the most wanted men in the British Empire—regicides who signed the death warrant of King Charles I and vanished into the New World to escape retribution. 
  Their pursuer is Richard Nayler, a tireless agent of the Crown obsessed with justice—or perhaps vengeance. As Whalley and Goffe live as fugitives across the raw, unforgiving landscape of 17th-century America, Nayler’s pursuit becomes a shadow war of secrecy, loyalty, and relentless determination. 
  This is not just a chase through history—it’s a profound exploration of conviction, sacrifice, and the long reach of power. Told with masterful pacing and emotional depth, Act of Oblivion invites listeners to confront the question: when you’ve risked everything for your beliefs, what happens when the world moves on without you? 
  Perfect for fans of historical fiction, political intrigue, and stories of unshakable purpose.

  Berlin, 1938 
  It’s no longer safe here. 
  When the Jewish families of Berlin start disappearing in nightly raids, 21-year-old Jacob Kagan knows it’s only a matter of time before the trucks come for him. Along with his family and best friend, he flees the country he’s always called home to find shelter in a Dutch refugee camp. Before long, the Netherlands falls to the Nazi war machine — Jacob’s new home is transformed into a transit camp with weekly trains bound for the horrors of the Eastern concentration camps. 
  Handpicked by the cruel new SS regime to police the camp’s Jewish population, Jacob has the opportunity to save his parents and best friend from the dreaded transport lists — but at what cost? 
  Based on true events, Beyond the Tracks is a redemptive story of unconditional loyalty and a will to survive at impossible odds.

  Zaragoza, March 5, 1838. Before dawn, the city sleeps. Within hours, it will burn. 
  Joaquín Espés was once a soldier. Now he is only a blacksmith-a widower, a father, a man trying to bury the ghosts of war beneath the steady rhythm of his hammer. But when Carlist forces launch a surprise attack on Zaragoza, his past returns with brutal force. His former comrade Ramón gives him an impossible ultimatum: betray the city or watch his young son die. 
  With only five hours to decide, Joaquín must choose between loyalty to his people and love for his child. 
  As cannon fire shatters the silence and the streets run red, the blacksmith forges a desperate plan-one that may save his son, doom his city, or condemn him forever. In the chaos of betrayal and resistance, Zaragoza fights back with legendary courage, and ordinary men and women become heroes. But history does not always remember the men who act in the shadows. 
  Five Hours to Freedom is a powerful historical novel inspired by the real events of the Cincomarzada of 1838. It is a story of fatherhood and sacrifice, of moral conflict and impossible choices, and of the heavy price of survival. Because sometimes freedom is not won by heroes in the light-but by those willing to break the iron in the dark.

  I think we should take it through Guatemala. A random text from a stranger inspires agoraphobic Colin to leave New York. His first stop is Brownsville, Texas, where he meets the sender, half-Mayan Luci Bolon, her ancient but feisty great-uncle Ernesto, and Miss Mango, a bright-orange Kubota tractor. Ernesto’s dream is that Miss Mango be driven to Belize and given to the family he left behind nearly seventy years ago. Colin agrees to join Luci on the long journey through Central America. In 1949, seventeen-year-old Belizean Ernesto falls painfully in love with Michaela, an American redhead nearly twice his age. Their brief but intense affair changes everything Ernesto has ever known. When she leaves, Ernesto is devastated. Determined to find her, he “borrows” a donkey from his uncle and starts off for Texas. He meets a flamboyant fellow traveler, and the three of them—two young men and the donkey they name Bee—make their way to America. The past and present unfold through two journeys that traverse beautiful landscapes. Painful histories are soothed by new friendships and payments of old debts.
