  In the Magnificent, Clockwork Metropolis of Veridia, Time Is a Gift. For Centuries, Every Citizen Has Lived by a Flawless, Engineered Day of Twenty-Five Hours, Blessed by the Extra Hour of Rest, the "Quinta Lux," That Eliminates Stress and Guarantees Absolute Order. Veridia's Perfect Society Is Built Upon Its Grand Chronometer, a Magnificent Machine That Dictates Every Second of Existence. But Historian Elias Vance Finds the Terrible Truth: The Twenty-Fifth Hour Isn't a Gift; It's a Failing Temporal Dam. The City’s Time Is a Lie, Running Nearly an Hour Slow, and the Mechanism Designed to Hold Back Reality Is Fracturing. When Elias’s Evidence Is Dismissed as Sedition, He Becomes a Fugitive, Joining Forces with a Brilliant Underground Engineer to Expose the Deepest Secret of Their World. The Problem Isn't Just a Political Conspiracy, It's a Mathematical Inevitability. If the Chronometer's Buffer Collapses, the Entire Populace Will Be Instantly Struck by Temporal Dysphoria, the Collective Psychological Shock of an Hour Lost in a Single Agonizing Second. Mass Chaos, Madness, and Civil Collapse Are Guaranteed. Now, Elias Must Fight the Synchronized Forces of the Curators of Time to Stop the Clockwork, Unmask the Lie, and Broadcast the Brutal True Second to a City Conditioned to Reject It. His Only Weapon Is Historical Knowledge; His Only Path Is Destruction. Discover "The Sixteenth Hour," a Thrilling, Philosophical Sci-Fi Epic That Explores the Ultimate Question: If Your Entire Life Was a Beautiful Lie, Would You Sacrifice Everything to Find the Truth?

  Not another adventure! 
   
   
   
  Against all odds, Ben the Bengal cat defeated the demon dragon and sent it back to the Seventh Dimension. Consequently, Ben's nemesis, the evil warlock Astravar, is ever so slightly miffed. A demon dragon was meant to take over the realm for Astravar, while the warlock stayed in a tower with a nice cup of tea and watched the conquest from afar. But it didn't quite work that way . . . 
   
   
   
  Now, as a mysterious student prodigy emerges in Ben's academy, Ben's new feline-fae friend starts behaving rather odd, and Astravar seems to be concocting a brand-new nefarious plan, Ben realizes he'll have to go on another adventure. One that involves fairies, chimeras, and hippopotami, and that also crosses dimensions.

  The Ugliest Dog In The World

  The Wickman family move to Paris from London, following a fortuitous and perfectly timed offer from an eccentric stranger. Once there, their extraordinary run of good luck continues, until Fifi arrives in their lives. Fifi is smelly, unhygienic, antisocial and without doubt, the ugliest dog in the world. The only person able to love the dog is her indulgent and saintly neighbour, Madame Mal-Odour (who curiously lost her sense of smell in a freak accident during a thunder storm in 1953). 
  Jamie Wickman just wants a quiet life and would secretly love to be a train driver. His daughter wants to be left in peace to run her black-market in blue sweets, with her friend Maria. However, Susie Wickman has set her sights on becoming an integral part of the social hierarchy of Paris’ elite. It seems that only her dog and neighbour stand between her and a free pass into the wonderful world of Countess di Zlexia’s inner circle. 
  She plans to do away with them both, until a series of unexpected incidents reveal something about her dog, neighbour and family that drastically change her priorities. These lead to a meeting with Professor Keren de Communeté which gives her something more urgent to consider than a life-time providing calorie-free nibbles to surgically-enhanced faces.

  Join Candide on a wild ride through life! This young man believes the world is the best it can be, but guess what? The world has other plans. Torn from his cozy life, Candide embarks on a journey through palaces and battlefields, across continents and seas. He sees war, gets betrayed, loses everything, and yet he keeps searching for meaning and love. 
  Voltaire, the master of wit, takes aim at blind faith and empty ideals. As Candide faces challenges and tests, we too are forced to confront the mysteries of fate and human nature. 
  This audiobook brings Voltaire’s original text to life with clear and powerful narration. It’s not just about following Candide’s adventures -- it’s about grappling with his questions, sharing his laughter, and finding wisdom in his quiet conclusion.
