An Australian con woman discovers a billionaire is involved in human trafficking while searching through his files. Her background prevents her from going to the authorities, instead she decides to attempt to rescue the victims by infiltrating Tyler's sordid parties as a guest. What follows is an extreme and eye opening journey through the dark bowels of power, wealth and depravity. Orgies, hazing rituals, the threat of personal harm and extreme risk become her world.

Narrator: Sally Sultry

I have given up on selling this story, nobody has money right now.

So please enjoy for free because at least that way people hear my work.

I listen to a lot of audio books. Working through all of Stephen King, Dickins, Sherlock Holmes and P.G Wodehouse. So far my predictable favorites have been Dungeon Crawler Carl series, Project Hail Mary and True Grit. Less predictable, Fibber in the Heat (Miles Jupp), The Accidental Soldier (Owain Mulligan), and Endurance (Alfred Langsing). Didn’t finish Terry Pratchett, (it’s just words for the sake of words) Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade (just not funny) Riddley Walker Russell, Russell Hoban (couldn’t get into it. I will try all these again incase I was in the wrong headspace to listen to them. I’ve dozens of honourable mentions through autobiographies, sci fri, crime, drama, comedy etc so I’m pretty varied with what I’ll listed to, what hidden gems are out there that I’m missing?

Looking for the name of an audiobook (and i suppose book!) I listened to probably 12+ years ago.

It was a history of well... Everything. The first chapter takes you from the big bang through planet formation and i think first life. I remember the chapter talking about "going back further.. Going back further" or "jumping further forward, jumping further forward".

It talked about history of the west yes, but included developments over eras in other regions of the world.

I remember it being narrated by a man, and quite well.

I thought it might "History of the World" bu J.M. Roberts, or "a short history of nearly everything" by Bill Bryson, but samples of neither of them didn't seem familiar.

Shooting in the dark, but thank you!

Hi all.

I've been looking high and low for the "The You You Are" audiobook from the Severance series. I've read that Apple released it for free, but I can't find anywhere to download it. I don't own any Apple products myself, so I can't get it from their bookstore.

Figured while I posted one of my favorites, I would also post my absolute favorite audiobook. I really like "soft horror" and Hill house is suuuppppeerrrrrr influential to the greater horror sphere. It's had a buh-jillion iterations, and I am not sure if any of them were bad (although some people will probably fight me on The Haunting). But the audiobook, I have listened to about 750xs. Because this narrorator has a very unique voice, a clear background in acting, and can transform her essence left and right in zero seconds flat. Very animated! I originally listened to this on Libby as well, but later grabbed it here because I wanted to make sure I could carry it with me. This is also a great read, listen, watch - tale you can absorb through osmosis. However you get it, ti's a great get.

Nobody here =(

Well, if anyone does come here, consider giving a listen to The Parable of the Sower. It's hands down one of my favorite audiobooks. It's written by Octavia Butler and narrorated by Lynne Thigpen. I don't always dig audiobooks, because too many Feel empty or like white noise to me. Or there is this nagging feeling that I would not want to listen to the narrorator reading anything, let alone x-book. But this one was wonderful, and I think it's in part because the source material is good and the narrorator was very talented and has a very unique voice. I grabbed it here, but originally listened ot it on Libby. If you're interested I'd say both books (The Parable of the Talents) are wonderful to read/listen to - absorb through osmosis. All of the above. So give them a go if you'd like.

This is literally my favourite chapter of any audiobook. If you love the outdoors, then I challenge you to find a more life affirming, heart warming call to spend a night under the stars.

I love listening to audiobooks about nature, the environment, climate, hiking etc. One of my favourites is 'Roger Deakin: A BBC Nature Collection', specifically 'Cigarette on the Waveney', 'The House' and 'The Garden', as they are narrated by Roger himself and the recordings capture the environment Roger is in not just his voice.

Are there other audiobooks recorded in this way that are worth listening to?

Thanks for your help.

Start through this link here.

Read along with a copy from the library on the book you're on or through PDF or ePub.

Better if you read along to the narrator's words.
