The first and most successful in the Baroness's series of books that feature Percy Blakeney, who leads a double life as an English fop and a swashbuckling rescuer of aristocrats, The Scarlet Pimpernel was the blueprint for what became known as the masked-avenger genre. As Anne Perry writes in her Introduction, the novel "has almost reached its first centenary, and it is as vivid and appealing as ever because the plotting is perfect. It is a classic example of how to construct, pace, and conclude a plot. . . . To rise on the crest of laughter without capsizing, to survive being written, rewritten, and reinterpreted by each generation, is the mark of a plot that is timeless and universal, even though it happens to be set in England and France of 1792."

The Star Collector. An original audiobook. Follow Joe Corbit as he traverses the galaxy in search of the greatest collector’s item of all time!
When a distress call leads space-sheriff Joe Corbit to the ruins of a lost, alien civilization, he finds an illegal archaeological dig underway. The Chinese Galactic Empire is working alongside the Martian mob in order to smuggle an ancient artifact across state lines.
One deadly shoot-out later and Joe finds himself the sole custodian of the curious relic. His plan is to auction off the artifact to the highest bidder, that is, until he finds out why the Chinese were after it in the first place. They believe it to be an ancient super-weapon. What’s worse, they think it’s already been activated and is targeting every human being in the galaxy.
All Joe has to do is stave off the most powerful space fleet in galaxy, long enough to prove that this whole “ancient super-weapon” thing is being blown way out of proportion.
You see, Joe is hellbent on selling this artifact. Even if it kills him. -

Don't answer that. I know you don't care. But I know a lot more about you....
I've been dreaming about you.
