Synopsis

This recording has been digitally produced, by DeepZen Limited, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. DeepZen uses Emotive Speech Technology to create digital narrations that offer a similar listening experience to human narration.When NGO worker Nick drops unexpectedly into the lives of Pieter and Sara Lisson, he feels he has found the parents he never had. Nick is enraptured by their lives of splendour and acclaim as much as the stirring setting of the African city where they live, but he soon senses a secret at the heart of his new family.Nick then meets Riaan, the Lissons’ son, and so begins an intense connection that threatens to erupt into a relationship neither had ever considered. In the shadow of the Brandberg, the glowing mountain that stands at the heart of the desert, Nick will discover that his passion for Riaan is not the only fire which threatens his newfound home.

Fire on the Mountain is beautifully written, but it’s diffic......more

Early anti-government screed disguised as fairly standard cowboy shit. An early anarcho ‘fuck you’ to the industrial military complex, all taking place where the maternal side of my family hails from and largely still live (those that aren’t dead, that being most). Sweet New Mexico, Land of Disenfra......more

Edward Abbey's "Fire on the Mountain" is the story of an old man not willing to give up his ranch even to the US Government. This book has played a role in the anti-government rural west for years. The story itself turns out generally the way one would figure when going up against any government ent......more
