"Katie Powner's engaging story will pull you in and leave you in wonder at that deep, blue sky."--CHRIS FABRY, author and radio host 
 
Sometimes the hardest road of all is the road home. 
 
When confident and handsome Eric Larson is sent to a rural Montana town to work in the local branch of his uncle's financial company, he's determined to exceed everyone's expectations, earn a promotion, and be back in Seattle by the end of summer. Yet nothing could prepare him for the lessons this small town has in store. 
 
At forty-six years old, eccentric and outspoken Eunice Parker has come to accept her terminal illness and has given herself one final goal: seek forgiveness from everyone on her bucket list before her time runs out. But it will take more courage than she can muster on her own. 
 
After an accident pushes Eric and Eunice together, the unlikely pair is forced to spend more time with each other than either would like, which challenges their deepest prejudices and beliefs. As summer draws to a close, neither Eric nor Eunice is where they thought they would be, but they both wrestle with the same important question: What matters most when the end is near?

Wendigo Protocol

Anonimo

The future is already here—it’s just not human. 
Deep within the Canadian Rockies, buried beneath a mile of granite and fifty years of silence, lies Helix Station. History has forgotten Helix Station, once a Cold War black site, but not everyone has forgotten it. 
Dr. Elena Cathcart, a brilliant geneticist for Nexus Pharmaceuticals, believes she is leading a routine expedition to investigate a geological anomaly. She is mistaken. They have sent her, along with battle-hardened operative Jake Hansen and tech prodigy Marcus Singh, to awaken a hidden force. 
Inside the concrete tomb, they discover "Project Wendigo": a horrifying fusion of alien biology and human DNA that has been starving for decades. It doesn't just hunt flesh; it corrupts reality, rewriting the genetic and digital code of everything it touches. 
Trapped in a lockdown designed to become a tomb, the team uncovers a terrifying truth: they aren't the rescue party. They are the control group. As the station's systems turn against them and the shadows begin to move, Elena and Jake must fight a war on two fronts—against a creature that can rewrite their very souls and against the corporation that signed their death warrants. 
Wendigo Protocol is a white-knuckle sci-fi horror thriller that explores the terrifying intersection of corporate greed, biological ascension, and the ghosts in the machine. 
Book 1 of The Helix Wars.

The Man Who Would Be King

Rudyard Kipling

In this gripping tale of ambition, hubris, and imperial adventure, Rudyard Kipling takes us deep into the heart of 19th-century British India — and beyond, to the remote and mysterious land of Kafiristan. When two bold and cunning ex-soldiers, Daniel Dravot and Peachey Carnehan, hatch a plan to become kings of an isolated region untouched by Western influence, they embark on a journey as daring as it is reckless. 
What begins as a quest for power and riches quickly becomes something far more dangerous, as legend, belief, and identity collide. Told through the eyes of a journalist who hears their story firsthand, The Man Who Would Be King is a darkly compelling exploration of colonial arrogance, human ambition, and the fine line between myth and madness. 
This classic novella, brought vividly to life in a new audio performance, remains as powerful and thought-provoking today as when it was first published in 1888.
