![A Court of Wings and Ruin (1 of 3) [Dramatized Adaptation] Audiobook By Sarah J. Maas cover art](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519MZ9iKDyL._SL240_.jpg)
Publisher's summary
All of us love a hero or someone who is able to survive against all odds. It empowers us to likewise overcome the odds that we each face as individuals.
With tensions between the United States and Russia at an all-time high, Russia gives the United States and the world a devastating blow. Officer Nathan Cortel is called upon to be one of the first to retaliate as he carries out missions from thousands of feet in the air. When his plane suddenly becomes hit, he finds himself deep within Russia, where he is constantly pursued. With the memory of his parents and kid brother Tyler to give him hope, Officer Cortel fights against all odds to try to find a way home.
Filled with suspense from the very first chapter all the way to the end, this book will leave you hungry for the next chapter. The things that matter most in life become much clearer when one realizes that they might no longer be in reach. If you loved books such as Hatchet by Gary Paulsen or survival war movies such as Behind Enemy Lines, this book is without a doubt for you. It is a short story that everyone from your 12-year-old son or daughter all the way up to your ninety-nine-year-old grandparent will enjoy.
Many real-life lessons are shared in this fictional story that will motivate you, inspire you and leave you with a new view of your own daily life. Just like the game Jumanji took a roll of the dice, when you start the first chapter of Discovery Mode: When Survival Becomes Your Only Way Home, you will be on an adventure that will leave you on your toes, even when the story is over. In ways you will come to realize, the story of Officer Nathan Cortel will become your own!

You are no one. Level zero. Empty of mind and memory. Even your past has been stripped from your brain by the inscrutable System. A long, difficult road lies between you and remembering any part of who you are. A road punctuated with one death after another. You are too puny to survive by might alone. Information is the single resource that might keep you alive, but the brainless “digis” have none of it. Only those with experience can give you what you need, but most care nothing about you or your plight. In fact, some make it their mission to kill you.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 442
In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

With the aid of elite Special Forces units, Magnolia emerges as beacon of hope and stability. But evil is hungry and relentless. A new threat stalks the Earth. To save his people, and perhaps all of humanity, William must be more than a lethal soldier; he must become a hero.

Anyone living in Rhodesia during the 1960s and 1970s would have had a father, husband, brother, or son called up in the defense of the war-torn, landlocked little country. A few of these brave men would have been members of the elite and secretive unit that struck terror into the hearts of the ZANLA and ZIPRA guerrillas infiltrating the country at that time - the Selous Scouts.
