Yazid Valerion is alone with the truth, but his warnings fall on deaf ears. Eons ago, the Dead God promised a world of ash, and the time of that prophecy is now at hand. His only hope is to cross the sea with his few followers in search of ancient enemies, the Meites, and pray he can sway them to his cause. But the Meites are no mere mortals; they are powerful sorcerers prone to outbursts of destructive terror. Even if he can find them, there's no guarantee they won't slaughter him and his men upon first sight.

But the move to the village of Langham could be the straw that breaks the camel's back. To the truculent teenager it might as well be to Timbuktu.

Ted Geisel loved to doodle from the time he was a kid. He had an offbeat, fun-loving personality. He often threw dinner parties where guests wore outrageous hats! And he donned quirky hats when thinking up ideas for books - like his classic The Cat in the Hat. This biography brings an amazingly gifted author/illustrator to life.

In the distant past, long before people populated the Earth, and before animals roamed the planet, something terrifying and cunning made its home in the vegetation covering the planet like a soft green blanket. Lying in wait for millions of years, this species continued to evolve, patiently crossing over and manipulating the genetic code of different species. And now, this perfect omniscient being, born from oblivion, has awakened and is ready to feed.

To most people, unfathomable is just a word expressing similar definitions and nothing more. But when a bizarre sequence of events draws not only the United States but every world superpower on the globe into the threat of World War III, the word takes on a whole new meaning. The president is missing, and all the world can do at this point is watch as the horror and mystery slowly begin to unravel, revealing the Unfathomable.

A Fun Short Seussian History of Seuss
This was just like a Dr. Seuss book but it's about the history of Dr. Seuss. If you a Dr. Seuss fan this is a fun short listen, just like a Dr. Seuss book.
Now I want to listen to more Dr. Seuss
Note at the time of this review this did not have chapter titles.
This book was provided for free, however, this is my honest opinion and review.

It’s easy to see that this book was inspired
To tell of an author and all that transpired.
His life was a tale of rejection and strife
He traveled the world before taking a wife.
This book by Ms. Brown has been such a delight.
A child would enjoy this both morning and night!

Incredible Biography
This incredible book tells us the entire story of Dr. Seuss' life in few thought out and well organized words. It was interesting, impressive and informative all wrapped up in a tiny little package. Not too many writers can say so much in so little. To top it off it has rhyme and reason. I am very impressed.

A short biography written in the style of Dr Seuss, I enjoyed this and have listened to it a few times. The narration was ok but could have done with a bit more passion in places.
