  Fourteen years after No Easy Day made him a #1 New York Times bestseller, and the federal government’s legal target, Matt Bissonnette is writing again. This time, under his own name. And for the first time, narrating his own story. 
  
   
  In Matt’s own words, from the foreword: 
  
   
  “I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll probably say it a million more — I didn’t write No Easy Day to portray myself as some sort of badass operator or to etch my name in the history books. My sole purpose was to give credit to the SEAL team operators and army airmen who carried out the mission that night in Abbottabad.” 
  
   
  No Easy Way is the third memoir from the former SEAL Team Six operator who, writing as Mark Owen in 2012, gave the firsthand account of Operation Neptune Spear. The book that made him famous made him a defendant. What followed was years of civil litigation by the Department of Justice, a $6 million settlement, and a long stretch of public silence. 
  
   
  This audiobook is the story of what happened in that silence, the lawfare, the teammates, the years of waiting, and the decision to step out from behind the pen name. Most of all, the things that carried him through: family, friends, fun, and faith. 
  
   
  About the audiobook: Matt Bissonnette narrates No Easy Way himself — the first time he has voiced his own memoir. Additional character voices are AI-generated for production clarity.

  'The greater the challenge, the sweeter the reward, but also the greater the risk of failure. And fear of failure is the greatest barrier to success.'
  Sabrina Verjee is an ultrarunning phenomenon. In June 2021, on her fourth attempt, she became the first person to climb the Lake District's 214 Wainwright hills in under six days, running 325 miles with a colossal 36,000 metres of ascent.
  Where There's a Hill tells the story of an outsider who was never picked for a school sports team yet went on to become an accomplished modern pentathlete and adventure racer. After switching her focus to ultrarunning in her thirties, Sabrina moved to the Lake District, where she could hone her mountain-running skills on the local fells. High-profile success in endurance events followed, as she completed the Dragon's Back Race three times and was the outright winner of the 2019 Summer Spine Race, beating her nearest competitor by more than eight hours.
  However, it was the Wainwrights Round which really captured Sabrina's imagination. Having learnt about the challenge from fell-running legend Steve Birkinshaw, Sabrina began to plan an attempt of her own. Despite multiple obstacles – including lockdown regulations, bad weather, injury and controversy – Sabrina's grit and determination shone through. Where There's a Hill is a frank and inspirational account of how one woman ran her way into the record books.

  A fascinating investigation of a beloved comic strip The internet is home to impassioned debates on just about everything, but there’s one thing that’s universally beloved: Bill Watterson’s comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. Until its retirement in 1995 after a ten-year run, the strip won numerous awards and drew tens of millions of readers from all around the world.  
   
  The story of a boy and his best friend ― a stuffed tiger ― was a pitch-perfect distillation of the joys and horrors of childhood, and a celebration of imagination in its purest form. In Let’s Go Exploring, Michael Hingston mines the strip and traces the story of Calvin’s reclusive creator to demonstrate how imagination ― its possibilities, its opportunities, and ultimately its limitations ― helped make Calvin and Hobbes North America’s last great comic strip.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Step back in time to the winter of 1940 and experience the harrowing yet deeply human heart of wartime London through the eyes of legendary Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ernie Pyle. Long before he became the iconic voice of the American GI, Pyle crossed the Atlantic to witness the brutal realities of the Blitz. In these vivid, firsthand dispatches, he captures a city ringed and stabbed with fire, yet defiantly alive. Rather than focusing on grand military strategies, Pyle trains his lens on the ordinary citizens—the tired firemen, the ARP wardens, the children, and the resilient shopkeepers—who turned endurance into an art form. From navigating pitch-black streets during fifteen-hour nights to sharing quiet moments in bombed-out neighborhoods, this book offers a poignant, unforgettable portrait of courage, community, and the indomitable human spirit. Whether you are a history enthusiast or a lover of classic narrative non-fiction, this audiobook places you right on the cobblestones of a scarred yet unyielding London, reminding us that in times of ultimate crisis, the true heroes are simply the people.
