Killville [Dramatized Adaptation] Audiobook

"Fleeing from the growing sinkhole that was once the Glory mines, Ryan Cawdor and his companions struggle to make their way east to Ryan's home of Front Royal as a safe haven for delivering Krysty's child. Along the way, they are welcomed into a Deathlands community based on the structure and devolved traditions of a 20th century Iowa State prison. One of the bizarre customs that has evolved is the tallying of victorious acts of violence as a way of achieving dominance. Through a misunderstanding, Doc Tanner is believed to have achieved 246 of such acts and is thrust unwillingly into a cage match against a savage, hulking opponent. The companions fate may well rest on the outcome. Elsewhere, Ricky Morales and Jo Abernathy are on the trail of his long-lost sister Yamile who was captured into slavery when he first met Ryan and the others. Having appropriated a slavers' wagon, they are pretending to be slavers themselves when they enter the territory of Cloudville, a thriving community that employs slave labor to maintain its prosperity. The ruse comes to a head when the real slavers arrive."

Adaptation [Dramatized Adaptation]

"Picking up exactly where Playing Gods 1: Isolation left off, Playing Gods 2: Adaptation brings the zehuderan warriors Xriah and Vylis to the world of Gravios. A far cry from the last plane where the two battled, Gravios is an ocean world of cybernetically augmented humans and post-apocalyptic sea vessels. All land on Gravios has been completely submerged into the depths, the sea level elevated by the planet-swallowing marine creature known as the Grava. In this arena of hostile waters and cyborg warriors, this plane's denizens may prove a more formidable factor than others have been in this endless two-man war. It should be an easy victory for Vylis, though. After pushing his foe past the breaking point, Vylis should be able to capitalize on one of Xriah's trademark mistake-filled rages. This time, however, things are different. Xriah is different, and this new Xriah might just be a little more calculating than Vylis bargained for. Meanwhile, the goddess Synandri's right hand man Xzarius is rewarded for his heroic efforts on the last plane with a new task: assisting another zehuderan named Vellady in her ascension to the Nexusplane. The eventual fate of all successful zehuderan, ascension is the ultimate trial, presenting challenges few zehuderan are equipped to handle. Even with the help of Xzarius, these new obstacles may prove too unfathomable for Vellady to overcome. With lives so long, the routines so ingrained, change is difficult. Our coping strategies for new challenges are themselves challenged, and survival itself is often at stake. The only way to overcome change is to embrace it. The only way to survive is to Adapt ..."
