There is a thin line between the natural and the spiritual realm.
Ms. V., a humble servant of the Lord, has been placed on assignment at Center of Hope Christian Academy.
By day, she serves as a trusted counselor for students, giving them a safe haven to pour out their innermost feelings while providing professional and honest truth wrapped in a firm kindness and love that inevitably draws them closer to Jesus. Not to be outdone, the faculty also bends her ear from time to time.
By night, Ms. V. enters the spiritual realm and takes her place on the battlefield as one of God's faithful prayer warriors. She wields her whispering sword, slicing through the enemy's plans to bind the precious hearts under her charge.
Her assignment's burden on her physical body is taxing, but can she withstand the strain and remain victorious?
Saving souls is her true mission, but at what cost?
Readers and listeners are in for a journey of spiritual intrigue and biblical insight as they experience the ramifications of each character's life-altering decision.
Note: The digital and paperback versions come with a reader's-choice alternate ending. We chose the ending for you in this audiobook for uninterrupted listening pleasure. Enjoy
Addressing the corpse of her husband, who has just been pronounced dead, a hysterical Mrs. Arne prays that "if there be a God in heaven, and if He ever answered a prayer, let Him . . . give you back to me." Shortly afterward, an amazed doctor finds that the patient he had thought dead has somehow miraculously recovered. But as time goes by, it's clear that there is something unsettling about Edward Arne, something that frightens people, including his once-adoring wife.
The Prayer is taken from the second volume of the Victorian Anthologies "Horror" series, featuring short stories by classic writers of the spooky, the scary and the supernatural. Guaranteed to give you the shivers, each collection includes familiar and loved creepy tales as well as those less well-known. With music by Benedict Edwards.
After bringing listeners The Dread Empires Fall Trilogy (The Praxis, The Sundering, and Conventions of War), Skyboat Media and Blackstone Publishing come together again to present The Praxis Triad, an original audiobook compilation of three novellas from Walter Jon Williams’s Praxis universe.
Investments finds Gareth Martinez unable to find a meaningful post due to the hostility of his superiors. He’s accepted a meaningless post as Inspector General of Chee, a newly settled world. Intending nothing more than a pleasant vacation with his family, he first stumbles across a murderous conspiracy, and then learns he must battle a literal cosmic menace that threatens to wipe out all life on the planet.
In The Stickpin, set in the Naxid War, Caroline Sula leads the resistance against the Naxid occupiers and shows how a pleasant afternoon stroll can have deadly consequences to the enemy.
Then in Impersonations …
Having offended her superiors by winning a battle without permission, Caroline Sula has been posted to the planet Earth, a dismal backwater where careers go to die. But Sula has always been fascinated by Earth history, and she plans to reward herself with a long, happy vacation amid the ancient monuments of humanity’s home world.
Sula may be an Earth history buff, but there are aspects of her own history she doesn’t want known. Exposure is threatened when an old acquaintance turns up unexpectedly. Someone seems to be forging evidence that would send her to prison. And all that is before someone tries to kill her.
If she’s going to survive, Sula has no choice but to make some history of her own.
"Space opera the way it ought to be...Bujold and Weber, bend the knee; interstellar adventure has a new king, and his name is Walter Jon Williams." -George R. R. Martin
The first book in the completed Dread Empire's Fall trilogy, followed by The Sundering and Conventions of War.
All will must bend to the perfect truth of The Praxis
For millennia, the Shaa have subjugated the universe, forcing the myriad sentient races to bow to their joyless tyranny. But the Shaa will soon be no more. The Dread Empire is in its rapidly fading twilight, and with its impending fall comes the promise of a new galactic order ... and bloody chaos.
A young Terran naval officer marked by his lowly birth, Lt. Gareth Martinez is the first to recognize the insidious plot of the Naxid-the powerful, warlike insectoid society that was enslaved before all others-to replace the masters' despotic rule with their own. Barely escaping a swarming surprise attack, Martinez and Caroline Sula, a pilot whose beautiful face conceals a deadly secret, are now the last hope for freedom for every being who ever languished in Shaa chains-as the interstellar battle begins against a merciless foe whose only perfect truth is annihilation.
Time-traveling alien Pom Trager has used the gullible denizens of Earth as fodder for his practical jokes throughout the ages, with the pyramids, Picasso, and several US presidents among his more modest pranks. Why does he do it? To boost the ratings of The Prankster, his home planet's most popular reality show. But when a system snafu lands Trager in the wrong place, he finds himself at the mercy of the very species he's made into a galactic laughingstock. His only allies are the hapless assistant he just fired and an Earth woman who lends a hand against her better judgment. With a relentless sheriff hot on their heels, the unlikely trio must drive from Santa Fe to San Francisco within two days. Otherwise their one chance for rescue will vanish - and Trager will be stuck in a backwater world of his own making. In The Prankster, award-winning author James Polster hilariously skewers our cultural obsession with self-importance and entertainment.
Reclusive Professor David Denlon makes a startling discovery—evidence that advanced humans inhabited the Earth a billion years ago. But wealthy, well-connected Patrick Veeder launches a plan to murder David and steal that evidence. As he struggles to stay out of Veeder's crosshairs, David learns that these highly evolved people left something behind, something they intended for us to find... Can a misfit professor and his thrown-together team translate the instructions from our long-lost sister race before Veeder's evil plan succeeds?
Love is actually on the rise . . .
So what's the problem?
It's that everyone is falling in love with the wrong people . . . fictional ones. Is it wrong to love someone if they aren't real? It is, if real spouses and partners are being ignored.
Agent Beaufont is on the case though and she won't stop until she figures out who is behind this conspiracy related to love.
Paris always thought that Hollywood, with its glitz and glamour, was the culprit of all evil. Little did she know that it was fairies behind the fame associated with movie stars and the dizzying spotlight on the red carpet.
FAIRYLAND is real and it's full of deceit. And about to destroy love.
Can Paris and Faraday stop whoever is using the lust of the big screen to harm relationships worldwide?
Earth in 2064 is politically corrupt and in economic decline.
The Long Depression has dragged on for 56 years, and the Bureau of Sustainable Research is hard at work making sure that no new technologies disrupt the planned economy. Ten years ago a band of malcontents, dreamers, and libertarian radicals bolted privately-developed anti-gravity drives onto rusty sea-going cargo ships, loaded them to the gills with 20th-century tunnel-boring machines and earthmoving equipment, and set sail — for the Moon.
There, they built their retreat. A lunar underground border-town, fit to rival Ayn Rand's 'Galt's Gulch,' with American capitalists, Mexican hydroponic farmers, and Vietnamese space-suit mechanics — this is the city of Aristillus.
There's a problem, though: the economic decline of Earth under a command-and-control economy is causing trouble for the political powers-that-be in Washington DC and elsewhere. To shore up their positions they need slap down the lunar expats and seize the gold they've been mining. The conflicts start small, but rapidly escalate.
The Powers of the Earth includes zero-gravity gun fights in rusted ocean-going ships flying through space, containers full of bulldozers hurtling through the vacuum, nuclear explosions, armies of tele-operated combat UAVs, guerrilla fighting in urban environments, an astoundingly visual climax … and really, really big guns.
From condemned prisoner to food taster for the Commander of Ixia, from apprentice to a charismatic assassin to warrior with ever-evolving magical powers, Yelena is a remarkable heroine like none you've ever experienced. Follow her amazing journey through Maria V. Snyder's breathtaking fantasy series, which New York Times bestselling author Mercedes Lackey calls "engaging and entirely original...fascinating in its rich detail." Bundle includes Assassin Study, Power Study, and Ice Study!
The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Power of Six, Pittacus Lore's second instalment in the pulse-racing Lorien Legacies series - now a major movie franchise for Dreamworks.
We are the last defence.
I've seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened to John Smith. To the world he's a mystery, but to me ... he's one of us. Nine of us came here, but sometimes I wonder if time has changed us, if we all still believe in our mission.
There are six of us left. We're hiding, blending in, avoiding contact with one another, but our Legacies are developing and soon we'll be ready to fight. Is John Number Four - and is his appearance the sign I've been waiting for? And what about Number Five and Six? Could one of them be the raven-haired girl with the stormy eyes from my dreams? The girl with powers that are beyond anything I could ever imagine? The girl who might be strong enough to bring the six of us together?
They caught Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England. And Number Three in Kenya. They tried to catch Number Four in Ohio ... and failed. I am Number Seven. And I'm ready to fight.
Read by Neil Kaplan and Marisol Ramirez.
A new collection of stories by the master of humorous science fiction adventure, including the full-length novel The Day the Machines Stopped-and what happens, not just to civilization, but to humanity and its chances of survival when all the machines stop working at once?
A man is captured by aliens who are investigating the Earth as a possible target for colonization. The aliens have science and technology far in advance of humans-but, unfortunately for them, they have never developed the human art of bluffing.
