Sinopse

Victor G. Durham's "The Submarine Boys and the Middies: Or, the Prize Detail at Annapolis" immerses readers in the thrilling world of naval adventure and camaraderie during the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the United States Naval Academy, this work combines elements of young adult literature and military fiction, engaging audiences with its straightforward yet compelling prose. The novel deftly intertwines themes of bravery, brotherhood, and the challenges of naval training, reflecting the broader socio-political context of a nation poised on the brink of global conflicts, where America'Äôs naval power was becoming increasingly significant. Durham, an author deeply influenced by his contemporaneous naval history and the burgeoning interest in submarines, sought to capture the essence of naval life and the discipline it entails. His background, possibly informed by naval recruits of his time, inspired his vivid portrayal of young protagonists navigating the rigors of military education. As a writer, Durham has a keen ability to illuminate themes of friendship and loyalty amidst the discipline of the naval experience, aiming to inspire future generations of sea-goers. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in maritime history, young adult fiction, or tales of adventure that celebrate the spirit of youthful bravery. It serves as both an entertaining narrative and a reflection of a dynamic period in American naval history, captivating those who dare to dream of the high seas.

    THE GALACTIC FEDERATION OF LIGHT 
    Book 5 of 6 The bloodstar rebellion 
    This is the fifth book in the series and the plot is as follows: 
    General Vex Draxus, disillusioned with the Galactic Federation, declares independence for the Zorathian Free State and unveils the Bloodstar—a warship created using forbidden black-hole forge technology. Unknown to Draxus, the Bloodstar's core contains a trapped cosmic entity, and the Kessari are secretly aiding his rebellion to further their own agenda. 
    As the Federation debates between negotiation and military action, the Elurians discover the entity's presence. When the Bloodstar activates, the entity awakens and begins transforming the ship, threatening millions of lives. 
    In a desperate gambit, Draxus—realizing he was manipulated—joins a Federation strike team to deploy a quantum resonance disruptor at the ship's core. Before being forced back into dormancy, the entity reveals that the precursor homeworld is actually a prison containing ancient beings who are beginning to stir. 
    The rebellion collapses, but a greater threat now looms on the horizon. 
    I do hope you enjoy this fifth instalment, and it's only $3. 
    the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a fast paced modern beat that gets you ready for the out of this world story. The closing music ends the tale on a dark foreboding beat anticipating the next instalment.  
    The story itself runs to about 14 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
    I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
