LearnOutLoud.com Review

These tales told by Aesop in 6th century Ancient Greece feature timeless moral wisdom and instruction for both the young and old alike. Translated by George Fyler Townsend, this unabridged audio book features over 350 fables with the famous short morals at the conclusion of each story. We hope you enjoy it!

Description

Aesop's Fables are a series of brief moral tales historically attributed to the ancient Greek slave and storyteller Aesop. Using animals as his primary characters, these fables have come to form the core of early childhood moral education. With an abreviated but keen sense of observation Aesop tells stories that never attempt to portray the real world; yet within this fantastic setting he gives us a vision of the human condition that still provides deep insight to this day.

Translated by George Fyler Townsend.

Whispersync --> Kindle (free or $1.99 or $3.99) | Audible ($1.99)

When Earth is rocked by evidence that extraterrestrials may have seeded human DNA throughout the universe, a one-way expedition into deep space is mounted to uncover the truth. What linguist Meg Dupris and her crewmates aboard the Earth ship Damocles discover on Didet - a planet bathed in the near-eternal daylight of seven suns - is a humanoid race with a different language, a different look, and a surprisingly similar society. But here, it’s the "Earthers" who are the extraterrestrial invaders, and it’s up to Meg - a woman haunted by tragedy and obsessed with the power of communication - to find the key to establishing trust between the natives and the newcomers. In Loul Pell, a young Dideto male thrust into the forefront of the historic event, Meg finds an unexpected kindred spirit, and undertakes an extraordinary journey of discovery, friendship, and life-altering knowledge.Told from both sides of a monumental encounter, Damocles is a compelling novel about man’s first contact with an extraterrestrial race.

Chasing the Sun -- Natalia Sylvester/ Peter Berkrot --> 10.1 hrs --> contemp --> details

Whispersync --> Kindle (free or $1.99 or $4.99) | Audible ($1.99)

Andres suspects his wife has left him - again. Then he learns that the unthinkable has happened: She’s been kidnapped. Set in Lima, Peru, in a time of civil and political unrest, this evocative novel is a perfect marriage of domestic drama and suspense. Too much time and too many secrets have come between Andres and Marabela, but now that she’s gone, he’d do anything to get her back.

Or will he?

As Marabela slips farther away, Andres must decide whether they still have something worth fighting for, and exactly what he’ll give up to bring her home. And unfortunately, the decision isn’t entirely up to him, or to the private mediator who moves into the family home to negotiate with the terrorists who are holding Marabela. Andres struggles to maintain the illusion of control while simultaneously scrambling to collect his wife’s ransom, tending to the needs of his two young children, and reconnecting with an old friend who may hold the key to his past and his wife’s future.

Big Maria -- Johnny Shaw/ David de Vries --> 9.4 hrs --> humor --> details

Whispersync --> Kindle (free or $0.99 or $0.99) | Audible ($1.99)

Somewhere in Arizona’s Chocolate Mountains lie the Big Maria Mine and a wealth of gold lost for 100 years. There’s only one problem: Those mountains are now the home of the US Army Proving Ground, the world’s largest active artillery range. But for Harry, Ricky, and Frank, three down-at-the-heels guys with few dollars but plenty of dreams, the gold offers each of them a chance for a new life. Are scuba diving through an underwater ghost town; facing down a hungry mountain lion; doing the hesitation waltz across a minefield; matching wits with potheads, pit bulls, and bikers; and braving the might of Uncle Sam’s full arsenal worth it?

With little more than a samurai sword, a severed head, and an impractical amount of optimism, these intrepid soldiers of (mis)fortune are about to find out.

So I take it that we're in an Audible promo code dry spell again? And just when I got into an incredibly long series too. Oh well, guess I'll have to pause The Dresden Files series soon.

Yep, a dry spell. It took me years to complete the entire 19 book Dune series. Right now, I'm in the middle of the Foundation universe having just finished collecting the Foundation series. Next up is the Robot series and then the Empire series.
