In this podiobook: Aer'La only wants to be free...The Confederated Worlds are unparalleled as a society of free people, yet, somehow, slavery still manages to exist. Aer'La, a non-human, was bred to serve as a pleasure slave. Years ago, she escaped her masters and masqueraded as a human, joining the Confederate Navy, where she worked her way up to ship's Bos'n under the heroic Captain Jan Atal. Now, Aer'La's secret has been discovered by Atal's superiors, the media, and the world at large. Branded a sociopath, she learns that even a free society isn't willing to grant freedom - or justice - to all.Library Journal says: "The author of the Arbiter Chronicles, an award-winning audio drama, vividly brings to life a cast of compelling characters while telling a story that measures the cost of freedom. The far-future military setting should appeal to fans of David Weber's "Honor Harrington" series as well as the military sf of David Drake."

Heart of the Ronin - A free audiobook by Travis Heermann

Heart of the Ronin - A free audiobook by Travis Heermann
In this podiobook: Thirteenth-century Japan is a dangerous place, even in a time of peace. Capricious gods, shape-changing animals, and bloodthirsty demons are as real and unpleasant as a gang of vicious bandits. From the wilderness emerges a young, idealistic warrior with his father's mysterious sword on his hip, a wise, sarcastic dog at his side, and a yearning in his heart to find a worthy master. He dreams only of being samurai. Little does he suspect the agony and glory that await him when his dreams come true.Finding a master should be easy for a warrior as skilled as Ken'ishi, but the generations-long wars for the Imperial throne have ended. The land has settled into an uneasy peace and cast multitudes of proud, powerful warriors to the four winds. The new peace means that these masterless warriors, ronin, often must stoop to crime and banditry to feed themselves. Ken'ishi finds himself plagued by the hatred and mistrust of peasants and samurai alike.When he saves a noble maiden from a pack of bandits, he and his faithful dog become enmeshed in the intrigues of samurai lords, vengeful constables, Mongol spies, and a shadowy underworld crime boss known as Green Tiger. But Ken'ishi has a few secret weapons of his own, granted to him by his mysterious past and his magical upbringing. If only he knew more about his mysterious past, his parents' murder, and the sword that seems to want to talk to him. . . .Heart of the Ronin is an action-packed historical fantasy, set against the backdrop of ancient intrigue and impending war, the first of a sweeping three-part epic filled with deadly duels and climactic battles. Creatures of folklore and myth are as real as the katana in one's hand. And just as deadly."A fusion of historical fiction and adventure fantasy, the first volume of Heermann's Ronin Trilogy is a page-turning folkloric narrative of epic proportions. In a strange, supernatural feudal Japan, 17-year-old warrior Ken'ishi, a masterless samurai with a mysterious past and a legendary sword, saves the life of Kazuko, a powerful lord's daughter. Soon he becomes entangled in a deadly web of treachery, obsession and vengeance along with a bevy of conspirators, spies, assassins and otherworldly monstrosities. Though Heermann does little to push the boundaries of the subgenre, his writing style is confident and fluid, his characters are well developed and his serpentine story line anything but predictable. Numerous tantalizingly unresolved plot threads will have readers anxiously awaiting the second installment in this gripping tale of ill-fated love, betrayal and destiny. " - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY"Heart of a Ronin is a solid, likeable adventure story, sure to please fans of Japanese culture, and fantasy readers alike." - ADVENTURES IN SCI-FI PUBLISHING

Brave Men Run - A free audiobook by Matthew Wayne Selznick
In this podiobook: April 18, 1985 -- Into a world already wound tight with the desperate tensions of the Cold War comes a man with a startling Declaration: Metahumans exist, they demand autonomy, and Dr. William Karl Donner has the reality-bending power to enforce their status. The balance of power is thrown askew by the addition of not one more Superpower, but six thousand.Before the Donner Declaration, high school sophomore Nate Charters was just an outsider and self-proclaimed freak. His unusual appearance, hair-trigger reflexes, and overactive metabolism should have made him something special, but his differences and low self-esteem have long since marked him as a target for the jocks and popular kids.Now, just as his unique nature brings him the attention of a self-assured older girl, Nate must find his place in the world. Why is he the way he is? Where did he come from? Is he part of a remarkable, powerful new minority... or just a misfit among misfits?He'd better find out fast... others want the truth, and they're closing in...Praise For "Brave Men Run - A Novel of the Sovereign Era""The brilliance of Brave Men Run is not only in its vision, but its execution. Matthew Wayne Selznick spins a superhero story that transcends predictable 'grim-n-gritty' and 'rock-'em-sock-'em' conventions, capturing a realism and emotion rarely seen in the genre. Part Stan Lee, part John Hughes..!" -- J.C. Hutchins, author of the "7th Son" trilogy"Selznick effortlessly spins a strong nostalgia for the '80s with a fascinating alternate history where the superpowers wake up and may not be entirely hip on the idea of serving the rest of mankind. If Peter Parker had been one of the characters in 'The Breakfast Club,' you would have Brave Men Run. -- Mur Lafferty, author of "Playing for Keeps" and the "Heaven" series"A fantastical novel written with that all-too-rare attention to character and drama... Selznick speaks softly - yet eloquently - and wields a very big literary stick." -- Mark Jeffrey, Ulysses Award-winning authorof The Max Quick Series"This book rocks. It's engaging, the characters are robust... Brave Men Run is the finest podcast novel I've listened to... A solid story made even better by an exceptional performance by the author, it serves as an example of what a self-produced 'podiobook' can be. You won't be disappointed." -- Evo Terra, founder of Podiobooks.com"I thoroughly enjoyed Brave Men Run for its sympathetic characters, its eighties nostalgia, and its comic industry in-jokes, as well as its thoroughly entertaining story! If John Hughes had written the 'X-Men' films, this is what we would have gotten." -- Steven H. Wilson, Parsec Award-winning creator of creator of The Arbiter Chronicles"A great read, a real page turner. This book could be a bestseller." -- Henry Baum, author of "North of Sunset""Brave Men Run is at once fantastical and ordinary, gripping and emotional, shocking and intelligent.

And his experience as an Army correspondent in Vietnam (1970-71) offered clues to the demands a new generation of America's youth would face in the 21st century.

Beneath these everyday worries, however, memories of his time in Vietnam are stirring. To survive a mid-life crisis, he begins to fear that he must not only confront the challenges of the present but also the ghosts of his wartime experiences. In doing so he learns surprising things about his wife's past, about his children's abilities, and about Ralph Banister's vision for America.--"an engaging tale that flashes back to the narrator's Vietnam War tour.

The Communion of the Saint - A free audiobook by Alan David Justice

The Communion of the Saint - A free audiobook by Alan David Justice
In this podiobook: Clio Griffin, an out-of-work academic with an attitude and a tendency toward sarcasm, travels to England to interview for a last-chance job--as the pet historian for an antiquarian group who hope to use her to build the reputation of the local saint--Alban, the first Christian martyr of Britain.No sooner does she arrive than the saint, dead for seventeen centuries, starts talking to her--out loud. The voice is hard enough for Clio to take; her mother, in her final illness, had lost touch with reality, and Clio fears the same fate. When the saint drags her unwilling into the past, to live the lives of people long dead, Clio fights to hold on to her reason. At the same time, in "ordinary" life, she starts to define--and have defined for her--a place in the life of the town. The resident mystic takes a liking to her; when she dies, she leaves everything to Clio. The sexton of the cathedral becomes a malevolent presence who threatens Clio at unforseen intervals. She falls in love with an Anglican priest on the cathedral staff, who is jealous of the very mystical experiences Clio struggles to deny.When the the past itself comes to life in Clio's present, in the person of a medieval plague victim who appears in her living room, Clio must choose between her rationalism and her compassion for the dying young man. Her decision lands her in a mental hospital, where she has to confront both the fear of losing her reason and the reality of her experiences.When Clio gains her release from the psychiatric ward, her psychiatrist, like many others, asks her to pray for him. As she re-enters the community, she finds that other people, whom she doesn't even know, have been taking care of the cottage left her by the mystic. When her employer is injured in an auto accident, Clio's half-believed prayers seem to lead to a miraculous healing.Throughout the story, past and present are shuffled like two halves of the same deck of cards. With each descent into history, Clio learns about other lives. With each return to the present, she has to make sense of her own life in light of what she's learned.THE COMMUNION OF THE SAINT (the title is a paraphrase of a line from the Apostle's Creed) is a novel of past and present, skepticism and belief.The story question: how does a modern, skeptical, rational person fit the irrational, the supernatural, into her life and still make some kind of sense of it all?The answer: not easily.

The Diary of a Nobody - A free audiobook by George and Weedon Grossmith

The Diary of a Nobody - A free audiobook by George and Weedon Grossmith
In this podiobook: The Diary of a Nobody is the fictitious record of fifteen months in the life of Charles Pooter, his family, friends and small circle of acquaintances. It first appeared, serialised in Punch magazine and might be regarded as the first 'blog'; being a record of the simplicities and humiliations in the life of this mundane, but upright, city clerk, who had an incontestable faith that a record of his daily life was worth preserving for posterity.Set in about 1891 in Holloway, which was then a typical suburb of the impecuniously respectable kind, the authors contrive a record of the manners, customs and experiences of the late Victorian era. The bare record of facts, simply recorded, manages to be humorous rather than dull, no doubt because of the usual occupations of the authors.George Grossmith (1847-1912) was an actor and comedian.Weedon Grossmith (1852-1919) was an entertainer and illustrated the original work.(Summary by Martin Clifton)

They told me this tale--in broken bits they gave it, a sentence at a time. ... They told of the river at our feet: of its rise, a thread-like rill, afar on Tallac's side, and its growth--a brook, a stream, a little river, a river, a mighty flood that rolled and ran from hills to plain to meet a final doom so strange that only the wise believe. ... reverencing the indomitable spirit of the mountaineer, worshiping the mighty Beast that nature built a monument of power, and loving and worshiping the clash, the awful strife heroic, at the close, when these two met."- Ernest Thompson Seton

The Opening Window - A free audiobook by Vic Zarley

The Opening Window - A free audiobook by Vic Zarley
In this podiobook: A few months ago people began encouraging me to write the story of my spiritual journey from New Age back to Christianity. This is it. It has been a lot of fun to write. As I remembered and wrote down each step through my life, I began to see a wonderful pattern as a powerful and awesome God was at work in my life. I pray that my circular journey is interesting and helpful as I take you from my Christian roots, as a child, to the outer fringes during my teen and young adult years, until finally, I return, Prodigal Child, back into my Father's arms. I've always had a strong love for God. He knows that and has never left me, even as I took, not always of my own accord, the wildest detours.Some may not feel my tone is harsh enough toward the false teachings I received. This book is not so much a criticism of New Age as it is the story of our wise and marvelous God, in process, working with and through one of His children. It is the story of our God, who keeps His mind upon one of His own. It is the story of a nurturing and loving and merciful God, Who, despite detours we all take in this short life, holds His dear little ones close to His heart, loving them always, forgetting them, never. I thank God that no matter where we are (on our journey), He is there, only a heartbeat away, no farther than a prayer, the Creator, craving to reside in His created.As I told my story, I found often that my soul stirred with a message from God. Sprinkled liberally throughout this book, then, are poetic interjections as my enthusiasm for life and God and all His children flowed onto the pages. This is not just my spiritual autobiography. This is an Opening Window and, I pray, you will not be able to contain the riches God pours out to you through it.Produced and narrated by Vic Zarley.Special thanks to Kevin Macleod for his theme music, "Second Coming - No Percussion."

Taken Liberty - A Tale from the Arbiter Chronicles - A free audiobook by Steven H. Wilson
In this podiobook: Aer'La only wants to be free...The Confederated Worlds are unparalleled as a society of free people, yet, somehow, slavery still manages to exist. Aer'La, a non-human, was bred to serve as a pleasure slave. Years ago, she escaped her masters and masqueraded as a human, joining the Confederate Navy, where she worked her way up to ship's Bos'n under the heroic Captain Jan Atal. Now, Aer'La's secret has been discovered by Atal's superiors, the media, and the world at large. Branded a sociopath, she learns that even a free society isn't willing to grant freedom - or justice - to all.Library Journal says: "The author of the Arbiter Chronicles, an award-winning audio drama, vividly brings to life a cast of compelling characters while telling a story that measures the cost of freedom. The far-future military setting should appeal to fans of David Weber's "Honor Harrington" series as well as the military sf of David Drake."

Consider The Elephant - A free audiobook by Aram Schefrin

Consider The Elephant - A free audiobook by Aram Schefrin
In this podiobook: The common wisdom is that the men who have attacked American Presidents - Czolgosz, Guiteau, Fromme, Hinckley, Moore, Oswald, Zangara - were disgruntled, disturbed loners. That wisdom includes John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln, called a failed actor and a madman.But the truth is that Wilkes was the matinee idol of his time; and the attack on Lincoln was not the act of a maniac, but a part of a plan developed at the highest levels of the Confederacy.In "Consider the Elephant," by Aram Schefrin, the story of Wilkes'life and death is told by his brother, Edwin Booth, called "Ned." Ned was the greatest Shakespearean actor of his age, as was their father Junius in his era; and their brother June was an actor, too, though less successful than his brothers. The story is soaked in the ambiance of life in the American theater in the mid nineteenth century, and full of rich characters. It lays out in detail the path Wilkes took to the top of the celebrity heap, his growing involvement with the Southern rebels and the development in Richmond of the plot to kidnap - and later assassinate - the Union President.

All Sorts of People - Ordered Complexity - A free audiobook by Lane Friesen

All Sorts of People - Ordered Complexity - A free audiobook by Lane Friesen
In this podiobook: 'All Sorts of People - Ordered Complexity' is a collection of seven linked books:Book One presents personality differences - we may describe you, your family, your friends, in a great deal of detail. We develop symmetries between the various forms of thought. This will help us later as we map things onto the human brain.Book Two examines the energy engine of the mind, the source of our excitement. This form of thought operates strongly in one personality style and gives it 'charisma.' We'll look at multiple historical persons, using direct quotes chained together from published historical biographies. That way you know we aren't making this up.Book Three analyzes typical compatibilities and conflicts, and uses this information, with the symmetries developed previously, to generate a static model of the human mind. Surprisingly, there turn out to be only about eight common marriage combinations.Book 4 looks at a second personality style - it's the basis for sensitivity, and thus for human interaction and love. We examine its development, in persons from history, again using only direct quotes from historical biographies.Books 5, 6 and 7 are too sensitive to put on to audio. Thus, we leave them for you to read by yourself - they can be downloaded from our website at www.cognitivestyles.com.These seven books, taken together, provide a possible explanation for human consciousness - this is the Holy Grail of the social sciences. We leave it for you to judge how well we succeed.A series of accompanying videos for the lectures have been made available.

God Wears Many Skins: Sami Myth and Culture in Poems - A free audiobook by Jabez Van Cleef

God Wears Many Skins: Sami Myth and Culture in Poems - A free audiobook by Jabez Van Cleef
In this podiobook: The Sami, who call themselves "the real people," are nomadic indigenous people of Northern Scandinavia and adjacent areas of Russia. They practice an animistic religion which invests godlike qualities in animals such as the fox and the bear, and in certain features of the landscape. They believe that the sun (male) and the earth (female) mated to make a son, who then found a bride and fathered human beings. The earth and sun share our daily experience of living, as do all plant and animal creatures. This form of dynamic interdependence has been expressed over time in a wealth of songs and stories told by Sami shamans and wizards. The stories are characterized by great reverence for our natural environment, which can form a strong spiritual foundation for sustainable living. A selection of these stories is now for the first time adapted into modern English verse, written and voiced by Jabez L. Van Cleef.Jabez L. Van Cleef, who also wrote "All Is Beautiful: The Navajo Creation Story" for Podiobooks.com, has written poetic versions of spiritual texts from all of the world's great religious traditions. His voice in dramatic readings explores the fine distinctions between metered prose and music, by creating a spoken word sound environment that lulls the listener into a state of profound receptivity.

A Dancing Bear - A free audiobook by David Free

A Dancing Bear - A free audiobook by David Free
In this podiobook: What if getting the girl meant becoming a terrorist wet boy?On an unnamed university campus late in the 20th century, a young man named Fenton Bland joins a society of student Maoists in order to get near the girl he loves. But the girl turns out to belong to the chief Maoist -- and he turns out to harbor alarming aspirations in the field of revolutionary terror. And so Fenton, wearing a forcibly grown beard, finds himself propelled into a bizarre covert world of death lists, backyard bomb labs, untraceable handguns, and attempted wet jobs of wildly varying quality -- a world in which he must choose between losing the girl forever or else participating, perhaps very soon, in a successful terrorist atrocity. Along the way he must contend with a motley cast of characters, few of whom enjoy optimal grips on reality. There is Gus, the Maoist kingpin who in his quest to become a practising terrorist will draw the line at nothing, not even a car bombing ("I'm listening, mate -- provided you're not referring to my Kombi.") There is the fiery student radical Pamela Scratch, linked to Fenton by an infinitely regrettable sex act perpetrated in a sandpit at the age of five. And there is the incarcerated and patently guilty multiple murderer Neville Claude Aggot, whose spectacular escape augments the already long list of impending homicides that Fenton must at least try to avert as the novel hurtles, like a Kombi full of high explosive, towards its climax...

In this podiobook: Throughout the 1920s the Common University provided a free and ready source of education to the working classes of England through various lecture series and the distribution of educative pamphlets in the East End. At the time it renowned as a philanthropic exercise noted more for its good intentions than its practice of asking for lecturers' credentials. In the mid 1930s it shut down amid a small furore over the nonsense it was teaching. It was assumed by all involved that that would be the end of it.Then, toward the end of the 1990s the English poet A.F. Harrold discovered a box of papers in the attic of an elderly stranger. After exhaustive investigations, leads followed and clues uncovered he discovered that what he held in his hands were lecture notes, reports of speeches, lessons and seminars from the Common University long thought lost by educational historians. "Gosh," he thought, "This stuff's jolly interesting."Looking into the history of the Common University he found that the lives of those involved in it were surprisingly exciting and he dramatised those events and those intrepid people in a series of novels that begin with The Curious Education of Epitome Quirkstandard. Now, however, he has decided to share some of the original documents that lead him to stories through an irregular series of readings. He's right, it is jolly interesting. If not entirely factually correct.

There is praise aplenty for the "winner." But what happens when the "oohs" and "aahs" of life are elusive to us? Polly and the Measuring Stick is more than a fluffy little fable about a petunia who is passed by. This allegory holds a substantial truth about comparing ourselves in relationship to others and offers a strategy that all of us, the young and the not so young, will find useful for daily survival in a highly competitive world.

CrimeWAV Season 3 - A free audiobook by Seth Harwood
In this podiobook: The third season of CrimeWAVCrimeWAV is a podcast series of crime stories that I'm continuing with the aim of introducing the work of published crime writers, some of the great folks I've been able to meet, to the podcast crime audience that I've developed with my JACK PALMS CRIME podcasts.I'm doing this for two reasons: I want to bring some of the great work that's out there by people in the crime writing scene to the crime listeners I've developed with my podcast series-I want to give my listeners more great crime content- and I want to help the crime writers I've met get their work into the podcast realm so they can benefit from what I think is a great promotional opportunity in podcasting and get more readers/listeners. Basically, it's a win/win: I've got an audience that wants more crime stories and I've been fortunate to meet a lot of great crime writers who are happy to get more exposure via the web and podcasts. As I've been really lucky and successful to get in on podcasting early, I want to help other writers use these tools to promote their own work.I started podcasting my first crime novel, JACK WAKES UP, back in July of 2006. From there it's been a great ride to the Amazon charts, getting an agent, and selling JACK WAKES UP to Three Rivers Press. Along the way, I've been podcasting like crazy, putting out: Jack Palms II: This is Life, JACK PALMS 3 (All Caps), and the short story collections A Long Way from Disney I & II.If you've been a long time listener, welcome to back CrimeWAV. If you're new here, have a listen, check things out, and come by SethHarwood.com to have a listen as well. I'm sure you'll like what you find. Why not?

But when a carefree afternoon with his friends comes to a surprise finish at the spot where Kevin spread his mother's ashes only a year before, a place where the open air seems to resonate in kevin's ears, he realizes he might be a Hearer too, and "The Turquoise Hum" might be much more than a sound.
