Sinopse

Jules Verne's "The Greatest Adventure Books of All Time - Jules Verne Collection" encapsulates the author's pioneering spirit in science fiction and adventure literature. This compilation features classic tales such as "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," characterized by Verne's unique blend of vivid imagination and meticulous scientific detail. Written during the late 19th century, a time rife with advancements in exploration and technology, the collection engages readers with intricate plots that are both thrilling and educational, laying the groundwork for modern speculative fiction. Jules Verne, often hailed as one of the fathers of science fiction, was born in 1828 in France. His early affinity for literature and science was influenced by his familial background and the radical changes in science and technology occurring during his lifetime. Verne's resolve to explore uncharted territories through literature emerges from both his fascination with the possibilities of mankind and a deep commentary on the human condition in relation to the wonders of nature and invention. For readers of adventure and speculative fiction, this collection is an essential gateway into Verne's ingenious mind and his lasting impact on literature. These stories not only entertain but also inspire curiosity about the unknown, making it a must-read for any literature enthusiast.

    What’s a guy gotta do to appease an evil god? 
    It’s been a year since Katherine tried to take over the world, and Finch Merlin is itching to do something other than odd jobs for Erebus, God of Darkness. Erebus promises he’ll free Finch of his servitude after he completes one final task—finding the Fountain of Youth. 
    Finch has no idea why Erebus wants eternal youth, since the guy is already an immortal being. All the secrecy makes Finch uneasy, but he has no choice but to obey. 
    He knows he’ll get by with a little help from his friends, namely his old pal Garrett, who’s still dealing with the whole “being resurrected” thing. There’s also Ryann, Harley’s foster sister, now a regular at the San Diego Coven. Whenever she’s around, Finch feels butterflies in his stomach. Or maybe it’s just a bad case of indigestion. 
    Together, they’ll infiltrate the flashy world of the magical elite in search of a rare artifact, one that will help them capture a poltergeist—the angry ghost of famed adventurer Ponce de León. 
    Finch’s adventures have only just begun, with plenty of old and new friends… and foes.

    Mars the Warning 
    Book 3 of 6 – the fractured alliance. 
    This completely new third story in the series I have written is summarized below; 
    As humanity fractures over how to respond to the awakened Martians, Dr. Lin Mei’s diplomatic faction attempts peaceful communication, while General Drake’s militarists launch devastating attacks. Lin’s team deciphers Martian signals, learning of their ancient civilization and the pain caused by human terraforming. But Drake’s assault provokes a brutal retaliation—crystalline weapons dismantle human outposts. When Drake prepares to annihilate Mars with the Dreadnought’s orbital lance, Lin and her allies stage a mutiny aboard Olympus Station. In a zero-gravity showdown, Lin disables the weapon, but not before the Martians unleash their final warning: towering spires that render Mars uninhabitable for humans. Escaping with a handful of survivors, Lin receives a cryptic star map—a Martian offering of a new world, on the condition humanity never returns. As Earth’s exodus begins, Mars transforms, its surface shimmering with alien rebirth. The survivors carry forward a fragile hope: coexistence may yet be possible, but only by respecting boundaries older than humankind itself.  
    This is the third of six audiobooks in the series, the others will be in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this third one, and its only $3. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 plus minutes sets the scene, so to speak, this is heavy metal first but give it a chance and you will be surprised (I felt the martian beings would be extremely angry over humans trying to steal their planet hence the sound) ends with a warning sound music track like an alarm as the next episode will see them emerge to do battle, 1 minutes plus.  
    The book itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.
