  "Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. 
   
  But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. 
   
  Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society’s ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies... even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

  The Triumphs of A Taxidermist

  H. G. Wells

  The Triumphs of a Taxidermist is a darkly humorous and satirical short story by H. G. Wells that follows the peculiar life and ambitions of Hapworth Gibbins, a devoted taxidermist with grand aspirations of scientific recognition. Isolated in his small shop filled with stuffed animals, Gibbins dreams of presenting a groundbreaking paper at the prestigious Linnean Society—a goal that becomes increasingly obsessive. As he struggles with self-doubt, societal indifference, and his own deteriorating mental state, his passion for taxidermy blurs the line between art, science, and madness. With biting irony and psychological depth, Wells critiques the rigid structures of Victorian science and the alienation of the eccentric individual in a dismissive world. This story is a lesser-known but compelling example of Wells’ ability to blend realism with surrealism and social commentary.

  An exciting new fantasy series from bestselling authors M. Lynn and Melissa A. Craven begins here with a story of prophecy, hidden identities, and forbidden romance. 
  Before the dawn of a new age can begin, the old one must die. 
  An empire will crumble. And a champion will lose.  
  It’s the same every millennia when the cycle of prophecy begins anew. One by one, the kingdoms of Teitora fall to the words of a book written long ago.  
  Samara, knows nothing of her past. Orphaned among the servants of the Covenant of Morimei in their isolated city of caves, her mission is theirs. To guide the empire through the next cycle of prophecies and prevent the complete destruction of the world.  
  After a vicious attack, Samara and her best friend Zak—who is equally unaware of his own crucial role in the prophecies—flee the aftermath, embarking on a perilous journey across the ocean to the distant kingdom of Doragune. There, the recurring prophecy awaits as the new cycle begins.  
  Zak and Samara's journey is fraught with danger as rebels relentlessly pursue them for the coveted book of prophecies—a key to the fate of their world—now dismissed by many as a powerless relic of the past.  
  When they reach their destination, a familiar princess and her beguiling guard have a proposition. An alliance, of sorts. One that is likely to get them killed and jeopardize a future less certain than the book of prophecies would have them believe. 
  Join Samara, Odessa, Zak, and Gideon as they navigate the ancient fates, fall in love, and battle each other to be the ones standing when the Kingdom comes crumbling down.

  While investigating the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, a team led by Dr. Maracot is cut off from their ship and hurled to the bottom of the ocean. There, they find themselves in the remnants of the ancient civilization of Atlantis.  
  Like some other later works by Arthur Conan Doyle, this novel shows elements of spiritualism and the supernatural, both themes and ideas that interested him later in life.  
  The Maracot Deep was first serialized in both The Saturday Evening Post and The Strand Magazine between 1927 and 1928, and later published in a book alongside other stories in 1929. This audiobook edition is based on the 1929 edition.
