As the Germans blitz Poland in 1939, a young fighter pilot finds his way to France and ultimately England where he distinguishes himself in the Battle of Britain. He meets a woman and falls in love and so does she over time. He crashes in the English Channel and ultimately is captured.

Young Luke Pettigrew, a hero at the Battle of Shiloh, awakens in the bedroom of an unfamiliar Tennessee farmhouse - with no immediate memory of what brought him there. The only thing he knows with certainty, is that his life will never be the same. Smith takes listeners on a (historically accurate) wild ride through the end days of the American Civil War with Luke coming-of-age while exploring themes of addiction, love, and self worth. As the Civil War draws to a close, so does Luke's lifetime of searching. Ultimately, he finds redemption in the least likely of places.

That set him up for a double life: as a private security consultant and an intelligence asset for select countries around the world.

Aí você pergunta: quem foi o gênio por trás disso? O que essa gente tinha na cabeça?! Desde que Adão deu uma mordida no fruto proibido e foi expulso nu em pelo do Jardim do Éden, a humanidade tem tido uma ideia pior do que a outra. De líderes políticos obtusos e cientistas loucos a cantores pop que não cantam bulhufas. As 100 Piores Ideias da História é uma celebração das mancadas homéricas – e muitas vezes histéricas – que deram origem a guerras, afundaram países, arruinaram empresas, destruíram carreiras, causaram prejuízos de milhões e até, pasmem, ameaçaram a Terra.

What if life didn't begin on Earth, but came from the stars themselves? In this groundbreaking exploration, we journey from ancient myths to cutting-edge science to examine one of the most revolutionary ideas in modern biology: that life travels between worlds, seeding the universe with the building blocks of existence. The panspermia hypothesis suggests we are not alone—not because aliens visit us, but because we ARE the aliens, descendants of cosmic wanderers who arrived on meteorites billions of years ago.

Our world is full of fear: fear of death, public speaking, flying, drowning, failure, rejection, snakes, needles, heights, darkness, enclosed places, and countless more. Satan uses fear to steal joy, kill opportunity, and destroy hope. God has an antidote: supernatural courage.
