Title: Wuhan

Author: John Fletcher

Narrator: Bruno Roubicek

Format: Unabridged

Length: 30:23:29

Language: English

Release date: 07-22-21

Publisher: W.F. Howes

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction

Summary:

A multi-stranded historical epic set in China in 1937, when Wuhan stood alone against a whirlwind of war and violence.

Everyone's heard of Wuhan in connection with Covid-19. But 80 years ago it was equally famous as the first place on earth to decisively defeat fascism.

In 1937 Japan invaded China, slaughtering 20 million Chinese mainly civilians. As vast swathes of the country fell to the invaders, Wuhan was appointed wartime capital and symbol of Chinese resistance. China, a medieval society, began a desperately needed reorganisation transforming itself militarily, educationally, medically and culturally.

Their heroic efforts in Wuhan halted the Japanese.

Weaving together a multitude of narratives, Wuhan is a historical fiction epic that pulls no punches: the heart-in-mouth story of a peasant family forced onto a thousand-mile refugee death-march; the story of Lao She China's greatest writer leaving his family in a war-zone to assist with the propaganda effort in Wuhan; the hellish battlefields of the Sino-Japanese war; the approaching global war seen through a host of colourful characters from Chiang Kai-Shek, China's nationalist leader, to Peter Fleming, British journalist based in Wuhan and a prototype for his younger brother Ian Fleming's James Bond.

It has been nearly one hundred years since the Apollo moon landings, when Jack and Vladimir, two astronauts on a mission to Venus, discover a mysterious void related to indigenous life on the planet.

Jack is sent to investigate the voids in the Solar System and intercept the planetoidwhich, as becomes increasingly clear, is inhabited by alien life forms. Jack and his crew will have little time to understand their alien biochemistry, abilities, behavior patterns, resilience, and technology, but also how these life forms relate to the voids.

Humankinds first encounter with these exotic life forms couldnt be more fateful, becoming a race against time to save life on Earth and to reveal the true nature of the voids, which seem to be intrinsically related to life and the universe itself. In this novel, the author combines many topics related to state-of-the-art research in the field of astrobiology with fictional elements to produce a thrilling audiobook.

Title: Grief Without Guilt: It Gets Better If You Let It, Even If It's Complicated

Author: Rhiannon Spurgeon

Narrator: Rhiannon Spurgeon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:32:26

Language: English

Release date: 07-14-21

Publisher: Authors Republic

Genres: Health & Wellness, Marriage & Family, Death & Bereavement

Summary:

Widowed with a 10-day-old baby at the age of 34, Rhiannon didn't relate to the stereotypical definitions of widowhood. Not only was she younger than the average widow, but she also hadn't been married to Oliver, her baby's father. In fact, when he died, they weren't even speaking.

Grieving a complicated relationship is hard enough. When you add in a death with blurry explanation, it can make characterising your situation too tricky to contemplate.

Themes of addiction, infidelity, dysfunctional family dynamics and suicide all feature in this story.

This is the book Rhiannon needed - a similar story that she could relate to so she knew she would get through it. This is the book she wrote to tell you that you will get through it too.

Title: Woman of a Certain Rage

Narrator: Rachel Atkins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:36:14

Language: English

Release date: 07-08-21

Publisher: W.F. Howes

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Humor

Summary:

A smart and funny novel about love, life and a second shot at freedom for rebellious women of a certain age.

Eliza is angry. Very angry, and very, very hot.

Late for work and dodging traffic, Eliza's still reeling from the latest row with her husband Paddy. Twenty-something years ago their eyes met over the class divide in oh-so-cool Britpop London, but these days their eyes only meet to bicker over the three-seat sofa.

Paddy seems content filling his downtime with canal boats and cricket, but Eliza craves the freedom and excitement of her youth. Being fifty feels far too close to pensionable, their three teenage children are growing up fast, and even the dog has upped and died. Something is going to have to change menopause be damned!

Woman of a Certain Rage is a smart and funny novel for all the women who won't be told it's too late to shake things up, and Eliza is a heroine many will recognise. She may sweat a lot and need a wee all the time, but she has something to prove.

Title: Sunshine and Laughter: The Story of Morecambe Wise

Author: Louis Barfe

Narrator: Jonty Stephens

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:32:13

Language: English

Release date: 07-08-21

Publisher: W.F. Howes

Genres: Biography & Memoir, General

Summary:

The unique story of Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise British television's most iconic double act.

British television has hosted some celebrated double acts over the years from the Two Ronnies to Reeves and Mortimer, from French and Saunders to Fry and Laurie and from Mitchell and Webb to Matt Lucas and David Walliams. But none of these acclaimed duos come within a million miles of challenging the cherished place in television's golden age occupied by Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise, whose partnership lasted from 1941 to Morecambe's death in 1984. Icons of British television in the 1970s, Eric and Ernie were, in the words of one commentator 'the most illustrious, and the best-loved, double-act that Britain has ever produced'.

Louis Barfe has a gift for narrating celebrity lives in a manner that is informative and affectionate but never hagiographic. Funny, human and incisive, Sunshine and Laughter gets to heart of what made TV's most enduringly popular double act tick.
