About this listen
Mark travels to an unexplored jungle—a strange patch of hot, humid forest where isolated tribes still hunt with handmade bows and arrows. He goes for many reasons—some known to him from the beginning and some remaining mysteries forever. But when he’s suddenly surrounded by men with wooden spears, Mark realizes that some adventures—some trips to far-off places—might not be worth the risk.
For years the tribe keeps him as a slave—forcing him to do more than just carry firewood and crops harvested from the jungle. He’s guarded by the tribe’s stone-faced medicine man every night—the two spending countless hours together as Mark talks about his past—as he starts to lose his grasp on reality—as his sense of time and truth begin to blur.
He never stops dreaming of returning home—of leaving his jungle prison one day—of taking his two young children with him—emerging from the wild with their little bodies held triumphantly on his shoulders. He dreams of returning from the edge of the Earth to tell the world how he survived—how he persevered through all the dark times—how he escaped with only himself to thank—even if only part of his story turns out to be true.

Story
Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Story
This book examines the popular notion of Christians escaping from this world for heaven at death or at the rapture to reign permanently with Jesus—this is not what the Scripture teaches. Songs like, “this world is not my home, I am just passing through” have placed some Christians on the wrong side of the true biblical message, causing them to avoid their stewardship responsibility to care for the earth. The idea that earth is not my home may have fostered decades of anti-science sentiments in the church against climate change, leading to the abuse of the environment. Why care for the...

Story
When the fae beckon, few resist. Even fewer return. As a veil witch, I'm used to taking out the supernatural trash. Everything from poltergeists to vampires, you name it and I've dealt with it. So opening a paranormal cleanup business just seemed to make sense. If I'm already dealing with the pests, why not get paid? But when I accidentally breach the faerie realm to encounter a girl recently reported missing, start seeing the ghost of a witch whose disappearance has never been solved, and discover a Book of Shadows that opens only for me, I can't just go back to business as usual.
