Summary

In the French Foreign Legion, every man hides a secret.
 
For an American known only as Tex, his is vengeance and he intends to keep it.
 
In the sun-scorched wastes of the post-WWII Sahara, the French Foreign Legion is a refuge for the damned. Among them is Tex, a formidable American cowboy whose calm demeanor conceals a burning purpose. He isn’t running from his past. He’s hunting a monster from it, a sadistic ex-Nazi captain responsible for an unspeakable wartime atrocity who now leads a feared band of killers.
 
When a desperate plot to desert offers a path to his prey, Tex is thrust into a lethal game of survival. Surrounded by traitors, cutthroats, and an impending Arab uprising, he must outwit both his comrades and his sworn enemy. Failure means more than just a lonely death in the sand. It means a war criminal escapes justice forever.
 
A relentless page-turner of classic action and suspense, this is a must-read for fans of gritty historical thrillers and high-stakes adventure fiction. Perfect for readers who love the desperate survival of Alistair MacLean and the military intrigue of Jack Higgins.

    The indefatigable Miss Phryne Fisher returns to solve what may be her most puzzling murder. 
     
    When Phryne Fisher is invited to Bendigo to witness the investiture of her old friend Lionel, who is being made a Bishop, her expectations of the solemn and dignified ceremony do not include a murder. 
     
    Phryne is soon working with perspicacious local Constable Watson and eagle-eyed Inspector Mick Kelly to identify the perpetrator. It becomes quickly apparent the murder victim had been an overzealous deacon with a nose for trouble. Nobody seems very inclined to mourn his passing. 
     
    Applying her quick wits and magnetic charm, Phryne and her expanding team of sleuths discover murky layers of church politics, social scandals and business scams and blackmail. Soon, various suspects begin to form a long list, all with excellent motives for killing the deacon. Could the murderer be his own wife? A visiting dignitary? The mysterious organist? The angelic Brookes? The unemployed teacher? And why is the Bishop's Court being burgled? 
     
    Meanwhile the clock is ticking ... Will Phryne be able to bring to light the proof she needs before the killer strikes again or disappears completely?

    This gripping third installment of the Empress Irini Series is set in the cutthroat world of 8th-century Byzantium, where power, betrayal, and ambition collide in a deadly game for the throne. 
    When Constantine’s father dies unexpectedly, the nine-year-old is thrust onto the imperial throne, with his mother, Irini, assuming the role of Regent. But as Irini consolidates power and ruthlessly blocks her son’s attempts to rule, Abbess Thekla finds herself torn between loyalty to the ambitious empress and a growing allegiance to the rightful emperor, Constantine. 
    Irini forces Constantine into an unwanted marriage to the unpopular Maria, prevents him from gaining his full authority at eighteen, and has him imprisoned when he dares to challenge her dominance. But Constantine’s loyal army rallies to his side, freeing him and overthrowing Irini’s reign. Now, the battle for the throne intensifies as a resourceful and relentless Irini vows to stop at nothing to reclaim her power. 
    Thekla must navigate a dangerous web of deception and intrigue—can she prevent the mother and son from destroying each other, or will Irini’s savage ambition tear the empire apart?

    "Code Noir is storytelling at its deepest and most intimate. These stories are magic and you must enter them as if you, too, are wondrous." —Dionne Brand, author of Nomenclature, Theory, and Map to the Door of No Return 
     
     
     
    Canisia Lubrin's debut fiction is that rare work of art—a brilliant, startlingly original book that combines immense literary and political force. Its structure, deceptively simple, is based on the infamous Code Noir, a set of real historical decrees originally passed in 1685 by King Louis XIV of France defining the conditions of slavery in the French colonial empire. The original code had fifty-nine articles; Code Noir has fifty-nine linked fictions—vivid, unforgettable, multilayered fragments filled with globe-wise characters who desire to live beyond the ruins of the past. 
     
     
     
    With a foreword by Christina Sharpe, Code Noir ranges in style from contemporary realism to dystopian literature, from futuristic fantasy to historical fiction. This inventive, shape-shifting braid of narratives exists far beyond the boundaries of an official decree.

    The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
    Book 5 of 7  Alice Nutter The Silent Lady of Roughlee 
    The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
    Alice Nutter, the dignified Catholic widow of Roughlee Hall, became an unlikely victim of the 1612 Pendle witch trials. Unlike her impoverished co-accused, Alice was a wealthy landowner targeted for her discreet charity and suspected recusant faith. Falsely implicated by child witness Jennet Device, she refused to defend herself at trial to protect vulnerable tenants who could alibi her. Offered spectral escape in prison, Alice chose martyrdom over flight, declaring: "I will not run." On August 20, 1612, she was hanged without speaking a word in self-defense, her silence preserving both her honor and others' safety. Today, her statue in Roughlee memorializes this tragic injustice—a gentlewoman sacrificed to superstition and political vendettas. Local legend claims her ghost still walks Pendle Hill, a silent witness to history's cruelty.  
    This is the fifth book in a series of seven audiobooks and I do hope you enjoy ,(might not be the appropriate word, this instalment, and it's only $3 dollars. 
    the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2  minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!  
    The story itself runs to about 35 minutes, and and is narrated in my own voice. 
    Please let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!.
