  E. Phillips Oppenheim, an English novelist created well in excess of 100 novels and 30 plus collections of short stories. Most of his tales are thrillers and espionage. The Great Impersonation was written following World War I and is considered by many to be perhaps his best novel. The story focuses on German espionage in England prior to the start of World War I. The tale centers on two characters that are almost identical in appearance. Indeed, while both attend the same school in England, they are often mistaken for one another. One character is Sir Everard Dominey, an English baronet who enjoys the "good life" but falls into disfavor when he is accused of murdering Roger Unthank. Unthank, of the same village, has an infatuation for Dominey's wife, Rosamund, and attacks Dominey. Dominey comes before his wife bloody and ragged after the struggle with Unthank. The spectacle renders her unbalanced. This is more than Dominey can bear and he goes on a long travel and drinking binge spanning years. Dominey's wife threatens to kill him if he ever returns. The second character is Baron Leopold von Ragastein, a German nobleman. Von Ragastein has fallen into disrespect with the Kaiser for his affair with a Hungarian princess and subsequent killing of her nobleman husband in a duel. He is banished to a minor government position in East Africa as punishment. A chance encounter between Dominey and von Ragastein in German East Africa sets the pretext for the story. Von Ragastein returns to England as Dominey, to regain his position in society, and serve Germany by influencing England to keep out of the coming conflict. There is one problem however: there are some, including Dominey's wife, who are not convinced that Sir Everard Dominey is really who he claims to be. You will need to listen to the end to determine the truth.

  This breathtaking volume boldly, cheerfully, and blankly stares back across the stunningly mellow life and times of Zonker Harris. From his Californian-American roots to his legendary status as surfer, nanny, and former sun god, his career trajectory has unfailingly carried him ever deeper into the homegrown heart of the American daydream. A puddle-plumbing denizen of Walden Commune, Harris spent his formative years as a bodaciously freaked-out college student. His innovative decoding of the rites and rituals of the burgeoning counterculture put him on the cover of Time. Forced by a strategic oversight to graduate from college, Harris blazed a path to glory on the pro tanning circuit. His triumph in the George Hamilton Cocoa-Butter Open set a high watermark for the sport.Family values led Harris to devote considerable time to helping his stunned parents refill their empty nest. Extended-family values propelled him into a career as a professional nanny, in which capacity he has indeed taught the children well--especially Sam, who was surfing the long board while still in diapers. Later, leveraging his political cluelessness, Zonker served on the disastrous Duke2000 presidential campaign.  A devoted foot soldier in the war against AIDS suffering, Zonk is held in high regard among SoCal's medical marijuana community for the efficacious potency of his magic brownies. Unfazed by worldly success, he remains a true and gentle freak. After all, he humbly notes, I am but one dude.

  LOUIE! YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR BROTHER. SOMEONE IS BREAKING ALL THE GAMES IN THE ARCADE!  
  Louie leaped up from his chair when he saw the desperate text from his non-Superhero friend Elliot and immediately turned to his Superhero brother Charlie for help:  
  “Charlie, you have to get down to the arcade right now! Someone is breaking all the machines. None of us will be able to play this weekend for Elliot's birthday!"  
  Charlie shrugged. “No one cares about that. Besides, I’m really tired. Good Superheroes always get their rest before fighting crime. Someone else will take care of it”.  
  Louie was shocked at his brother's words as they kept echoing in his mind: SOMEONE ELSE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT... 
  WHO is going to take care of it? All the other Superheroes at school are too lazy to do anything about it!  
  If his brother wasn't going to stand up against evil, and neither were any of the other Superheroes, he could as well become a hero and save the arcade and Elliot´s birthday... Right?  
  Follow Louie, an ordinary boy, on his brave journey as he struggles to become a real hero and fight evil and restore justice. In this heart-warming, fun, and heroic adventure, you will learn that believing in yourself and helping others are much more important than having real super powers.
