Sinopse

Amelia is a novel written by Henry Fielding. Amelia is a domestic novel taking place largely in London during 1733. It describes the hardships suffered by a young couple newly married. Against her mother's wishes, Amelia marries Captain William Booth, a dashing young army officer. The couple run away to London. William is unjustly imprisoned in Newgate, and is subsequently seduced by Miss Matthews. During this time, it is revealed that Amelia was in a carriage accident and that her nose was ruined. Amelia resists the attentions paid to her by several men in William's absence and stays faithful to him. She forgives his transgression, but William soon draws them into trouble again as he accrues gambling debts trying to lift the couple out of poverty. He soon finds himself in debtors' prison. Amelia then discovers that she is her mother's heiress and, the debt being settled, William is released and the couple retires to the country.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Before humanity. Before Earth. Before memory itself… there was creation. 
    Space Effect is the beginning of the Danger All-in-One saga — a cosmic origin story about consciousness, creation, love, and the birth of existence itself. 
    Alex awakens in a reality untouched by civilization, where thought shapes matter and emotion gives form to worlds. As existence expands, he creates laws, symbols, music, language, and life itself alongside Gaga — the first companion born from division, balance, and connection. 
    Together they shape the foundations of a universe still learning what it means to exist. 
    But creation comes with consequence. 
    As worlds evolve and intelligence spreads across the stars, Alex begins to understand that even a godlike creator cannot fully control what is born from freedom. 
    Blending philosophical science fiction, emotional storytelling, cosmic wonder, and the mystery of consciousness, Space Effect begins the journey that will eventually become the Danger All-in-One universe. 
    This audiobook is narrated using AI-assisted digital voice narration with cinematic sound design.

    A singular new novel from Betty Trask Prize winner Samantha Harvey, Orbital is an eloquent meditation on space and life on our planet through the eyes of six astronauts circling the earth in 24 hours 
     
    "Ravishingly beautiful."—Joshua Ferris, New York Times 
     
    A slender novel of epic power and the winner of the Booker Prize 2024, Orbital deftly snapshots one day in the lives of six women and men traveling through space. Selected for one of the last space station missions of its kind before the program is dismantled, these astronauts and cosmonauts—from America, Russia, Italy, Britain, and Japan—have left their lives behind to travel at a speed of over seventeen thousand miles an hour as the earth reels below. We glimpse moments of their earthly lives through brief communications with family, their photos, and talismans; we watch them whip up dehydrated meals, float in gravity-free sleep, and exercise in regimented routines to prevent atrophying muscles; we witness them form bonds that will stand between them and utter solitude. Most of all, we are with them as they behold and record their silent blue planet. Their experiences of sixteen sunrises and sunsets and the bright, blinking constellations of the galaxy are at once breathtakingly awesome and surprisingly intimate. 
    Profound and contemplative, Orbital is a moving elegy to our environment and planet.

    For Fiella, life in the magical village of Moonvale used to be peaceful. Her world is turned upside down when a magical attack destroys her trinket shop and everything she has worked for.

    Redd has fled his home in Sunhaven as a last-ditch effort to get a fresh start and escape the bad luck that had been plaguing him. He finds himself in Moonvale, where all the annoyingly friendly local folk seem to need his help. His outlook changes when he lays eyes on a lovely fellow vampire, whose blue hair and fiery temperament ensnare his thoughts. 
     
     
     
    Limits are tested and bonds are forged when Fiella is forced to accept Redd's help to rebuild her shop. With the help of friends, magical potions, the local cats, and a few goblets of cider, Fiella and Redd team up to restore what was lost. As the two vampires battle their thirst together through late nights and endless bickering, they might even learn to appreciate each other.

    Three years after her mother's suspicious death, forensic artist Jo Cattrel is in hiding, working at a storm-watching lodge along the Washington coast. When her father sends her a disturbing and cryptic message, Jo leaves the safety of the lodge to find him. But during the ferry crossing, Jo witnesses a murder—and becomes a target.  
      
    More surprising to Jo than being in danger is the identity of the person who steps in to protect her—none other than her ex, former Green Beret Cole Mercer. Now a private investigator, Cole has been looking into her mother's death. If he can just uncover the truth, maybe Jo can end her self-imposed captivity and the two of them can pick up the pieces and build a future together.  
      
    As Cole and Jo search for answers, the past rushes in like a dangerous tide before the truth can be revealed.
