Title: Promised Land Series: #2 of A Chosen People Novel Author: Robert Whitlow Narrator: Liz Hill Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 47 minutes Release date: January 14, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Bestselling author Robert Whitlow explores the meaning of family and home—and how faith forms the identity of both—in this breathtaking sequel to Chosen People. Despite their Israeli citizenship, Hana and Daud cannot safely return to their homeland because a dangerous terrorist ring is threatening Daud. Hana is perfectly fine remaining in the United States, working for a law firm in Atlanta, especially when she learns she’s pregnant. But Daud can’t shake the draw to return home to Israel, even if it makes him a walking target. Hana is helping her boss plan a huge summit in Atlanta when Jakob Brodsky, her old friend and former co-litigator, asks for her help with a case. His client is attempting to recover ancient artifacts stolen from his Jewish great-grandfather at the end of World War II. Because the case crosses several national borders, he needs Hana’s knowledge and skill to get to the bottom of what happened to these precious artifacts. Meanwhile, Daud is called in to help a US intelligence agency extract a Ukrainian doctor from a dangerous situation in Egypt. While overseas, he can’t resist the call of Jerusalem and thus sets off a series of events that puts thousands of people in danger, including his wife and unborn child. With historical mysteries, religious intrigue, and political danger, Promised Land asks one momentous question: What if your calling puts you—and your family—in the crosshairs? Praise for Promised Land: “Promised Land is a book about coming home. Of becoming settled in your spirit and your relationships. With layers of intensity, thanks to international intrigue, moments of legal wrangling, and pages of sweet relationships, this book is rich and complex. A wonderful read.” —Cara Putman, author of Flight Risk - Second and final book in the Chosen People series - Full-length, Christian fiction novel

Title: Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volume 2: More Mysterious Stories, Unfinished Manuscripts, and Lost Notes from One of the World's Most Popular Novelists Series: #2 of Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures Author: Beau L'amour, Louis L'Amour Narrator: JD Jackson, Jason Culp, James Naughton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 14 minutes Release date: November 19, 2019 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: More unpublished works from the archives of Louis L’Amour: complete short stories, partial novels, treatments, and notes that will transport readers from the Western frontier to India, China, and even the future. Exploring the creative process of an American original, the Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures series will uncover the hidden history behind the author’s best known novels . . . and his most mysterious and ambitious unfinished works. In this second volume, Beau L’Amour examines how his father made the transition from struggling pulp writer to successful novelist and uses his father’s notes, journal entries, and correspondence to continue the process of seeking out how and why many of these never-before-seen manuscripts were written as well as speculating about the ways they might have ended. These selections include the beginnings of a post-apocalyptic science fiction tale, a proposal for a nonfiction project based on the life of Renaissance-era traveler Ibn Batuta, and two chapters of a historical novel set in India about the origin of L'Amour's well-known Talon family. At the other end of the spectrum are classic adventures, such as “In the Measure of Time,” a chance encounter set on the high seas, and a science fiction film treatment set in Mexico, as well as seventeen chapters of a novel that reappears throughout Louis’s journals and letters and speaks to his fascination with post-revolutionary 1950s China, leading him so far as to correspond with the Dalai Lama. This audiobook further maps the journey L’Amour embarked upon to become one of our greatest storytellers and the diverse realms to which his imagination traveled, making him a true American pioneer.

Por el autor de El misterio del águila, Juan Miguel Zunzunegui. El mundo se acaba y un nuevo mundo surge de sus cenizas. Los cimientos del cielo siempre se desmoronan. Guerra santa contra el islam en España, persecuciones religiosas y herejes quemados a lo largo del Imperio germánico, los ídolos de piedra destruidos en el Templo Mayor de los mexicas. Los cimientos del cielo, escrita soberbiamente por Juan Miguel Zunzunegui, es una novela sobre el fin de la Edad Media y el comienzo de la era monárquica, la ruptura de la Iglesia y de Europa, la herejía que recorre el mundo; los creyentes de la Iglesia y los herejes de la Inquisición... todo en torno a la construcción sin fin de la Catedral de México. Un descendiente del último guerrero águila que defendió Tenochtitlan lucha para ver cumplida su obsesión: que la Catedral de México, templo del dios blanco y símbolo de la conquista, no sea concluida jamás; al mismo tiempo, intenta aniquilar a todos los descendientes del conquistador Alonso de Ávila, sus enemigos declarados. La familia Morell, paralelamente, parece tener en su destino las hogueras inquisitoriales, tanto de Europa como de América. Así comienza una historia de tres familias y tres siglos; una historia de amistad y lealtad, de traición y de fanatismo, de misiones sagradas y de enigmas del pasado...
