Resumen del Editor
Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery was one of the most celebrated swordsmen in American history. During his long life, he served under the flags of 12 nations; participated in more than 50 duels with the sword, knife, and pistol; and took part in countless battles, conflicts, and revolutions.
In this semi-autobiographical novel, originally published in 1881, Monstery recounts his adventures in Spanish America, where he journeyed during the 1850s as a soldier of fortune and itinerant master-of-arms. Within its minutes - which sound like a combination of swashbuckler, Spaghetti Western, and Indiana Jones, with shades of Robert E. Howard - Monstery tells of his duels with espadachíns (sword-wielding bravos), of evading assassination in moonlit tropical glades, of battling bandits in the windswept deserts of Mexico, and of pursuing a lost Aztec civilization, reportedly still in existence deep within the jungles of the Yucatan.
Accompanying Monstery on these journeys are his two indefatigable companions: the revolver-toting, pugilistic Englishman, Dr. Charlie Brown, and the honorable but roguish Hispanic cavalier, Don José Ramírez. Together, these three seek their fortunes while attempting to rescue the beautiful but fiery Carmelita Ximenes - a character directly based on Monstery’s own wife. To this classic adventure novel, now in print again for the first time in more than a century, has been added a new, extensive introduction by the editor.
Drawing upon a wealth of previously unknown sources, Monstery’s historical activities in Spanish America have been chronicled in greater detail than ever before, so that listeners can now dissect the facts of his real life from the fiction of his novel. In this new audiobook version, the text of both the historical introduction and novel has been vividly and dramatically brought to life by actor Luke Barton.

Later he is plucked from the trenches first, in Greenmantle, to frustrate a plot to ferment an uprising in the Islamic world; and then, in Mr. Standfast, to undertake a vital secret mission against a German spy ring operating among pacifist elements in England.

Historia
In this romantic and raw adventure set in the untamed wilderness of Wyoming of 1886, an anonymous college graduate ventures out west where he encounters gun fights, lynching, cattle rustlers, high-stake poker games, Indian attacks, and a brave, honest and imposing cowboy known simply as the Virginian. Presented as the archetypal, ideal hero of the "western" genre (which was novelized for the very first time in this same book), the Virginian, a foreman at Shiloh Ranch, carries a strong sense of justice.

Historia
"Sir Nigel" is a historical novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, set in the beginning of the Hundred Years' War, spanning 1350 to 1356. It is the background to Doyle's novel, The White Company, and describes the early life of that book's hero Nigel Loring, a knight in the service of King Edward III. The character is loosely based on the historical knight Neil Loring. The tale, at its outset, traces the fortunes of the family of Loring of the Manor of Tilford in Surrey, many of whose scions had been prominent in the service of the Norman and Angevin Kings of England, against the backdrop of the Black Death.

Ancient Constantinople, the glorious capital of the Eastern Roman Empire for over 1,000 years, and the jewel of Christendom, is the setting for this incredible historical novel. No other city in the world could compare with it in grandeur, splendor, and wealth. And when it fell to the Turks in 1453, it must have seemed like the end of the world to Christians. Famed author Mika Waltari takes us into the last months of this dying city as revealed in the diary of John Angelos, a strange man hopelessly in love with the daughter of an eminent Byzantine official.

From humble beginnings in rural Tennessee to his heroic death defending the Alamo, frontiersman, adventurer, and politician David Davy Crockett embodies the spirit and ideals of the national character. Even during his lifetime, tales of the sharpshooting, skilled woodsman were - to his delight - told, retold, and elaborated on. As a US congressman, the former Creek War militiaman steadfastly opposed President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act.

Clint Belmet's parents were killed in a Comanche raid when he was young, but that hasn't stopped him from taking a job leading freight caravans on the old Santa Fe Trail, from Saint Louis, Missouri, to Santa Fe, New Mexico - a route that goes right through Comanche territory. Here is the raw, primitive West of the early pioneers, great caravans of freighters rumbling across the deadly prairies, risking attack by Comanche.

An entertaining book and well done audio
An entertaining romantic history of 1800’s adventuring from a man who lived it. His prowess and ‘self-confidence’ as a soldier as well as sly wit comes through. The reading was flawless and enhanced the telling of the story.
