  In London, 1666, drinking coffee can get you killed… 
  The case of Samuel Pepys’s missing pocket watch escalates rapidly when Eustace Blount, writer and wit, is found murdered in Rose’s Coffee House on The Strand. 
  Blount was a prig, a poseur and a parliamentarian – nobody liked him, not even his friends – and Pepys’s intrepid personal inquisitors, Abby Harcourt and Jacob Standish, find themselves with a suspect list as unwieldy as it is perplexing. 
  When their investigation leads to the nearby Gilded Bean coffee house, frequented by fervently royalist members of parliament, it becomes clear that a dangerous political game is afoot. Abby and Jacob face their most audacious challenge yet: 
  To break into Westminster Palace, at the very heart of English politics. The penalty, if discovered – is death. 
  The Samuel Pepys Mysteries bring 17th century England to life, in the company of the celebrated diarist himself, and his personal inquisitors, Abby and Jacob. If you love a fiendish mystery wrapped in vivid history, this series is for you.

La lucha entre la perfidia de Augusta y la tradición de honradez de Hugh marcará durante treinta años los destinos del banco.

  Judgement Seed - Human Extinction

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  A year after a devastating global meteor shower, botanist Dr. Elena Vasquez discovers something extraordinary in an Amazon impact crater: an impossibly beautiful alien flower with shimmering, otherworldly petals and an intoxicating fragrance. These "Astraflora" begin appearing worldwide, captivating humanity with their ethereal beauty and becoming a global obsession. 
  Marcus Chen, a San Francisco florist, becomes one of the first victims of what the flowers truly are—a sophisticated alien intelligence using beauty as a weapon. The Astraflora's golden pollen contains microscopic spores that infiltrate human nervous systems, causing rapid-onset dementia that transforms victims into zombie-like "Hollows" before their bodies explosively release millions more spores. 
  Despite warnings from Elena and CDC epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Williams, the world remains enchanted by the flowers until it's too late. The Astraflora spread exponentially through cultivation and natural dispersal, triggering a pandemic that collapses human civilization within months. Only one percent of humanity proves genetically immune to the spores' effects. 
  The immune survivors, led by Elena's research group, retreat to remote sanctuaries as cities fall silent and nature begins reclaiming the Earth. The Hollows become gardeners of the alien flowers, tending vast carpets of Astraflora that transform the planet's ecology. Over decades, the survivors learn that the aliens aren't destroyers but cosmic gardeners—an ancient intelligence that travels between worlds, helping species transcend their limitations or removing those that threaten planetary health. 
  Fifty years later, humanity has adapted to coexist with the Astraflora consciousness, developing symbiotic relationships that enhance human capabilities. Two centuries on, Earth has become a living paradise where humans and aliens form a hybrid consciousness, eventually making contact with a galactic network of similarly transformed worlds.

  It’s the summer of 1971, and all ten-year-old Janina Starcevich wants to do is spend the seemingly endless warm days riding her bicycle, climbing trees, and catching frogs in the pond in her back yard. But when a young drifter named Justin Lazarus walks into the hardware store owned by her next-door neighbor, Kathy Christian, a series of events are set in motion that will change them all forever. 
  Justin is a melding of opposites—charming but odd, friendly but frightening, seemingly ordinary but at the same time deeply strange. Kathy compares him to an optical illusion before you’ve figured it out. Something’s wrong, but it’s impossible to say exactly what. 
  The events of that sweltering summer turn the little village of Guildford, New York upside down. 
  So why, twenty-five years later, can Janina—now happily married, with three children of her own—barely remember what happened? 
  A chance mention at work starts her on an obsessive quest to reconstruct how the tragedy in 1971 unfolded, and to try to figure out what had been her role in it. The more she uncovers, the more puzzling and disturbing it becomes—an enigma that has lain buried for two and a half decades, centering around one single question: 
  Who was Justin Lazarus?

  Hand-to-hand combat with Soviet Morskoy Spetsnaz divers under the ice!  
  “By far the most comprehensive and accurate narrative of the operation of a nuclear submarine I have ever read.” —Michael D. LaNoue, Nuclear Submarine Sonar Tech 
  As USS Teuthis Saturation Dive Team Officer-in-Charge Mac McDowell leads his submarine team laying acoustic arrays under the Arctic ice, they capture an abandoned fully automated Alfa-class Soviet sub. Piloting their prize through the ice pack to the U.S. East Coast, they must evade or confront other Soviet subs trying to recover the sub—or sink it. Breathtaking deep-sea clashes erupt, including hand-to-hand combat with Soviet Morskoy Spetsnaz divers under the ice. Too far from Teuthis to escape, the Americans are accosted by a 6-ton orca. Will Mac’s ship survive long enough to reach friendly waters, or will the men become just another meal for a deadly whale? 
  Audiobook performed by Trenton Bennett — featuring his acclaimed character voice work — with full sound effects, original music, and an illustrated PDF companion with images, diagrams, glossary, and supplemental material.
