Story
Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

Story
In his third book, Tantric philosopher and Oxford scholar Dr. Christopher Wallis calls out the seemingly helpful spiritual platitudes dominating our current culture and demonstrates how these "near-truths" can stand in the way of a more radically free and meaningful life—and ultimately, a deeper spiritual awakening. Rooted in the Asian wisdom traditions, Wallis’s book uncovers why these oft-heard clichés are “near enemies of the truth" that can distract us from real spirituality, and can even cause unnecessary suffering.

The author gives excellent narration, a book that makes you think - laugh - and offers opportunities for introspection. Perhaps not my favorite from this author but still an excellent listen

Story
For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

If you enjoyed the tv adaptation then you will most likely enjoy the book! A little more humor and more interesting than the show, pretty good narrator and it actually made me laugh several times - despite the seriousness of the story line. I would recommend it

Amazing narration
Reviewed: 06-18-24
The story was truly enjoyable, and the way it was narrated really added to the overall greatness. I stumbled upon this book while searching for more works by the same narrator, and I'm glad I did. The narrator's skill in seamlessly switching between voices and the fabulous southern accent truly enhanced the experience for me.
