  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  From a dark age, the light of prophecy shines forth. From deep in the bowels of a divided Europe emerge stark warnings to mankind that resonate within us even now. 
   
  Prophecies that are seemingly impossible and yet are there for all to see. The outbreak of a worldwide pandemic, the death of Queen Elizabeth, the invasion of Ukraine, global warming, terror attacks, world war and the end of times. These, and more, were foreseen by a 16th century physician. Indeed we are told that a coming war, starting in Europe, will engulf the globe and cause catastrophic numbers of deaths. The materialistic Christian West will do battle with the united forces of the East and the Muslim world following a Russian invasion of Europe. Ballistic rockets will reign down upon us all. 
   
  Are we ready for the truth? 
   
  This is the tale of that man and his unique insight into the global events set in motion by mankind. This is the story of the end of the world and the man we know as Nostradamus. This is the story of how he became infamous.

  Phoenix is the true story of intrigue, danger and family loyalty centred within the Northern Ireland Troubles. This is the voice of Detective Superintendent Ian Phoenix and his dedicated journey from paratrooper to police officer. IRA assassinations, covert police and SAS operations, with Booby trap bombers and snipers making the rules of the era. 
   The audio version of the original best-selling book, narrated by Ian’s son, continues to intrigue and inform listeners about a very different life in Northern Ireland, as it was during those dangerous times. 
  The family’s lives were wrapped in danger too, but cocooned in love and sustained by Irish humour in an outdoor lifestyle, surrounding their wild coastal home. 
  Hearing his son's voice read his father's words is nostalgic. It has recaptured a richness to those years in spite of the danger under which the family lived. It provides meat to the anonymous bones of normal life during the Irish "Troubles". Phoenix ultimately describes the disastrous killing of 29 good people in a military helicopter crash that has never been adequately investigated or explained. 
   Hear how PHOENIX revealed for the first time the undercover war of covert police and SAS operations in an arena where the rules were made by bombers and snipers in the shadows. It tells how the man responsible for almost wiping out the British cabinet was caught, saving the lives of those targeted for death by the IRA. 
   PHOENIX takes the reader behind the scenes and uncovers shocking details of previously unknown bravery. 
  It shows how love and real family life can sustain a man during a dangerous career that was part of Irish history.

  Medieval Europe’s Mercenaries:...

  Editors Charles River

  The Middle Ages have long been remembered for armored knights battling on horseback and armies of men trying to breach the walls of formidable castles, but what is generally forgotten is that medieval warfare was constantly adapting to the times as leaders adopted new techniques and technology, and common infantry became increasingly important throughout the period. Meanwhile, political and technological progress led to continuous change of tactics and equipment. Cavalry became ascendant, only to be later replaced by infantry as their weapons improved, and by the end of the period, warfare was radically changing thanks to the rise of gunpowder weapons such as the handgonne and the bombard. 
  The Middle Ages witnessed almost constant warfare in Europe, so mercenaries were a constant on the battlefield, but the 15th century also saw the rise of mercenary usage by the increasingly wealthy aristocracy. At the time, England and France existed in smaller versions than in the modern age, while the Spanish had unified into a few large kingdoms and were slowly pushing the Moors off the Iberian Peninsula. Norway and Hungary were larger than they are now, but otherwise, most of Europe was a patchwork quilt of small, constantly warring states. This was especially true in Germany and Italy, where innumerable city-states and little fiefdoms struggled to gain more territory and defend themselves against their neighbors.

  The Seven Deadly Stupidities -...

  “It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes.” ~Warren Buffet 
  Crisis manager George Pillari takes the reader through a series of real-life case studies to show us that decision making in tense situations is a skill to be learned and perfected. Different from most business books that talk about recipes for success (improve your habits, be more productive, etc.), Stupidities highlights what you need to avoid in order to be successful. 
  In his foreword to the book, Guy Kawasaki sums it up: 
  “80% of success is avoiding stupidity.” 
  We learn from the success and failures of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Holmes, Google X, JP Morgan, the New York Yankees, the Titan Sub, Thomas Edison, Taylor Swift, and others. 
  The Seven Deadly Stupidities: 
  Going for the Moonshot 
  Surrendering to FOMO 
  Relying on Family and Friends 
  Being Blinded by the Upside 
  Trusting the Media 
  Using Quick and Dirty Thinking 
  Neglecting to Measure Twice 
  There is the amazing story of Soviet General Petrov, who avoided all seven of the stupidities and prevented a global thermonuclear war. 
  The chapter-by-chapter format lets the reader thumb through and pick the order to read the book. The summary of each stupidity includes lessons learned and advice on how to avoid the stupidity and “be smarter.” 
  We are twice as likely to respond to negative events than positive ones. Pillari uses this behavioral sciences insight to guide the reader through how to learn from the failures of others and become a better decision-maker.
