Young nobleman d’Artagnan has arrived in Paris intent on joining the guardians of King Louis XIII. He befriends the regiment’s most formidable musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, and together they unite in their commitment to uphold justice. Soon, a royal indiscretion thrusts them into an audacious escapade of courtly intrigue, thwarted romance, and daring rescue. But it’s the Machiavellian schemes of a powerful enemy and the wicked seductions of an ingenious female spy that will be their greatest challenges.

The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization. After its founding in 509 BCE, the Romans refused to allow a single leader to seize control of the state and grab absolute power. The Roman commitment to cooperative government and peaceful transfers of power was unmatched in the history of the ancient world. But by the year 133 BCE, the republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome now ruled.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

Les Misérables is set in Paris after the French Revolution. In the sewers and backstreets, we encounter "the wolf-like tread of crime", and assassination for a few sous is all in a day's work. We weep with the unlucky and heart-broken Fantine, and we exult with the heroic revolutionaries of the barricades; but above all we thrill to the steadfast courage and nobility of soul of ex-convict Jean Valjean, always in danger from the relentless pursuit of the diabolical Inspector Javert.

Publisher's Summary
On the eve of his marriage to the beautiful Mercedes, having that very day been made captain of his ship, the young sailor Edmond Dantès is arrested on a charge of treason, trumped up by jealous rivals. Incarcerated for many lonely years in the isolated and terrifying Chateau d'If near Marseille, he meticulously plans his brilliant escape and extraordinary revenge.
Of all the "masked avengers" and "caped crusaders" in literature, The Count of Monte Cristo is at once the most daring and the most vulnerable. Alexandre Dumas (père), master storyteller, takes us on a journey of adventure, romance, intrigue, and ultimately, redemption.

Top notch narration, and the sample does not do Bill Homewood justice. Excellent differentiation between characters. Most impressively, Bill has a mastery of French, Italian, and Spanish pronounciations; a large commodity in this book.

The person reciting brought emotion into the story. This is a complete version of this book and is not abridged. I really enjoyed the whole book and in parts found it very hard to put down.
In addition, the pronunciation of the words in different languages was done admirably.

Incredibly, riveting, suspenseful epic
This 52-hour audiobook is worth every minute! Not for one second was the story slow - it's so engaging and suspenseful, full of utterly wild twists and turns, you just can't stop listening. Probably one of the best books I've ever read/listened to. Highly recommended. I would listen to the whole thing again (or maybe buy an actual book). Excellent narration. You may wonder how a 52-hour book can keep you interested - there are just tales within tales, and back stories and hidden stories that are later revealed, in the complex (but easy to follow) interconnected lives of all these heroes and villains. Bravo, well done Monsieur Dumas!
