The Hero of Negropont

"This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. To escape debt and summonses, Lord Exford is sent abroad in 1788 with Winstanley, a prudish clergyman, and Higgins, a truculent artist. Shipwrecked on the island of Negropont—modern Euboea—then ruled by a Turkish pasha, they encounter Amelia, a botanist, feminist, and intrepid explorer, and her camel, Rousseau. Amid pirates, renegades, minstrels, djinn, and star-crossed lovers, the travellers are drawn into a world of political intrigue, forbidden desire, and cultural collision. Befuddled by love, hashish, and his classical education, Winstanley finds himself confronting the might of the Sultan, while it falls to the wily Lord Exford to rescue his eccentric companions from an unspeakable fate."

Martoni's Pilgrimage 1394

"This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. An ordinary man. An extraordinary journey. In 1394 Nicola Martoni made a dangerous journey from a small town in Italy to Jerusalem. He was a little, short-sighted, middle-aged provincial lawyer. He sailed through Aegean storms to Egypt, walked across the desert in high summer, climbed Mount Sinai with malaria, and finally made it to the Holy Places. Five companions died on the way. Desperate to get home and running out of money, he wandered from island to island and across mainland Greece, braving more storms, shipwreck, pirates, mercenaries and brigands, sustained by curiosity, determination and faith in God. It was an age of marvels and miracles, before printing and the intellectual and scientific revolutions that shape our world. His journal translated from Latin, gives us a rare insight into a medieval mind. Join him on his journey"
