First came the days of the plague. Then came the dreams. Dark dreams that warned of the coming of the dark man. The apostate of death, his worn-down boot heels tramping the night roads. The warlord of the charnel house and Prince of Evil. His time is at hand. His empire grows in the west and the Apocalypse looms. For hundreds of thousands of fans who read The Stand in its original version and wanted more, this new edition is Stephen King's gift.

The Dark Path
- Conspiracy Theories of Illuminati and Occult Symbolism in Pop Culture, the New Age Alien Agenda & Satanic Transhumanism

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 31
The Dark Path is considered Isaac Weishaupt's magnum opus; a result of many years delving into the recesses of occult dogma from the approach of open-minded rationalism. Isaac's journey started with an attempt to separate religion from conspiracy theories, but the agenda clearly showed a connection. The question to be considered is if the agenda of the Illuminati overlaps with the tenets of the occult and whether or not there is an evil influence at play.

Just when you thought the rabbit hole couldn’t get any deeper…
Reviewed: 28-06-2023
Having been down the “rabbit hole” for a few years now (ironically about the time of c@v!d) I have started to see the world around me very, very differently.
Isaac has presented an extremely convincing case as to whats really going on in the world around us and where we are headed… and its scary as hell.
This is essential reading for anyone who feels there is something going on in the world around us… that something isn’t quiet right… and is ready to have there eyes opened.
It’s easy to dismiss this as just some tin foil hat propaganda…
But if you know… you know…
Buckle up…

In 1967, US Air Force fighter pilot James Shively was shot down over North Vietnam. After ejecting from his F-105 Thunderchief aircraft, he landed in a rice paddy and was captured by the North Vietnamese Army. For the next six years, Shively endured brutal treatment at the hands of the enemy in Hanoi prison camps. Bound in iron stocks at the Hanoi Hilton, unable to get home to his loved ones, Shively contemplated suicide. Yet somehow he found hope - and he became determined to help his fellow POWs survive.

An amazing story of a genuine hero
Reviewed: 25-05-2022
Being an ex soldier, some parts of this were very difficult to hear. That aside, this was an incredibly story of a man who suffered beyond imagination… but never buckled, never broke and remained a humble warrior throughout his captivity and torture.
More than that, the way he was able to return to civilian life with nothing but GRATITUDE for his time in captivity… that’s a lesson for everyone.
No matter how tough times are, or what we are going through, this book serves as a reminder that we are stronger than we think and can overcome any obstacle we set our minds to
A genuinely inspirational read.

Celebrate over 30 years of the world's most notorious rock band with the audiobook edition of The Dirt - the outrageous, legendary, no-holds-barred autobiography of Mötley Crüe.

Hands down the best rock autobiography
Reviewed: 11-03-2022
Finished this whole audiobook in just a few days. The story was amazing and every chapter leaves you itching for the next.
The narrators are so on point you sometimes forget it’s not actually the Crüe who are speaking.
This journey covers the highest of highs and lowest of lows in intricate detail.
Even if you are not a huge Motley Crüe fan, this is still a kick ass listen

Absolutely mind blowing

As a huge fan of the peaceful warrior series, The Journey of Socrates caught me off guard being a very different; and much darker style of writing by Dan Millman.
That said the story was incredible and the final part spoken by Dan Millman that ties he’s and Socrates journey together is absolutely jaw dropping.
If you’ve read the first three in the series… this is an absolute must!

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

I churn through about 2-3 books a month... and this is hands down the best fu#%ing book I’ve listened to in years.
David is a beast. This book is pure untapped motivation in your ears.
Do yourself a favour, buy this book.
Ps the audio version is waaaaaay better as David does a podcast style audio between chapters that gives extra information NOT in the written version.

His display of extraordinary courage that day saw him awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia, making him the first Australian to receive our highest award for bravery in wartime since Keith Payne in 1969.Yet Mark's journey to those crucial moments in Afghanistan was almost as exceptional as the acts that led to his VC.
