  Twenty-five-year-old Seminole Toby Tiger lives in despair in the Florida Everglades. He loves the land and everything that exists in the natural world: the deer and egrets, turtles and herons, cypress trees and sawgrass, ponds and marshes, and, most of all, Allapattah, the crocodile. He watches helplessly as the white man imposes his will on the Seminoles, forcing them either to conform or to eke out a living wrestling alligators and carving trinkets for tourists. According to Toby, the whites "destroy all that they touch." Toby refuses to bend to the white man's will and fights back the only way he knows how. He becomes Allapattah, a creature that earns his respect and protection.

  The Death Ship tells the story of an American sailor, stateless and penniless because he has lost his passport, who is harassed by police and hounded across Europe until he finds an 'illegal' job shoveling coal in the hold of a steamer bound for destruction. The Death Ship is the first of B. Traven's politically charged novels about life among the downtrodden, which have sold more than thirty million copies in thirty-six languages. 
  Praise for The Death Ship:  
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A damn good high seas adventure novel with all the trimmings. This one lived up to expectations. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's a funny first-person yarn by a happy-go-unlucky societal misfit that's reminiscent of Mark Twain. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of these books you read once and never forget. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When you see B. Traven on the spine of a book, just pick it up... hurry home with it.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Lieutenant Jim Fraser was, in turns, eager and terrified. His Baker Company led the American offensive to liberate Charleston, but would his wife, Florrie, and their twin girls trapped behind German lines survive the coming battle? 
  Wolves at the Gate is the first of a series of three alternative history thrillers from Bart Stark imagining another World War II. Due to a twist of history during his youth, Adolf Hitler turns west and out to sea against England and the United States in alliance with fascist Japan and Italy. After the British Empire falls, the Axis turn on an outnumbered and unprepared America. Instead of being waged in far-away lands, total war rages across the Hawaiian Islands and South Carolina, down our streets and into the homes of our families. 
  Styled as Robert Conroy’s 1942 meets Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain, with the multi-perspective scope of Harry Turtledove’s Worldwar series, Wolves at the Gate is perfect for fans of Philip K. Dick, W.E.B Griffin and Jeff Shaara. 
  At the time of this writing, Amazon readers awarded the ebook and paperback 101 reviews averaging 4.4 stars. ★★★★½ 
  [T]he first chapter pulls you bodily into a war rather than allowing you to observe it from a distance. The perspective feels less like narration and more like immersion…Every jolt, every flicker of tracer fire, and every near miss vibrates through the prose, giving the battlefield a visceral, tactile immediacy rather than an abstract quality. - DK Marley, The Historical Fiction Company ★★★★ 
  The gripping ElevenLabs AI voice Declan gives the audiobook a new dimension like a cinema newsreel from an all too close front line.
