Fort Sarpy
Summary
Fort Sarpy tells the story of the American Fur Company's most dangerous post. The fort was built on the Yellowstone River in 1850 for the trade with the Crow. At this time, the tribe was located in a triangle between the Tongue and the Bighorn River, with its northern boundary the Musselshell River. In 1850, the Crow were a small tribe, at one time combined with the Gros Ventre before they split off in the 1700s. They'd been hit hard by the smallpox epidemic in the 1830s. Because of strong and numerous enemies - the Sioux, the Cheyenne, and the Arapahoe - the Crow had not had general access to the white man's trade goods unless they traveled out of their country, always a dangerous situation. Therefore, piercing this ring of foes and establishing a post for them was a precarious enterprise. Riverboats were an ideal means of hauling white man's goods to trade for the Crow furs from the plentiful Montana wildlife. The job of establishing a post in Indian territory was undertaken by Robert Meldrum, a man who lived with and knew the Crows like no other white man. Caleb Shaw, the young man who goes with him to erect the post, becomes his able assistant and a full-fledged mountain man. This audiobook is about Fort Sarpy, the American Fur Company men who dared to build it in the wilderness, and the Crow tribe, who owe their existence to its creation. This can be listened to as a stand-alone novel or enjoyed as the second in the series about the riverboats traveling the rivers of the Old West and the daring men who made the trips into the wilderness.

Shimmer
Summary
Despite the most ruthless attempts of the US government, Dr. Rob MacAulay is not a refugee.

Shadow Warriors: Ambush
Summary
Cal, Letty, Tony, Opi, and Sasha were thrust together when they were kidnapped by the alien Molethan civilization and forced to become a fighting unit against The Horde, the most vicious, predatory enemy in the galaxy. At first, only Letty could get along with her fellow trainees, and largely due to her efforts, they became not only the top fighting crew in the Shadow Warriors, but also a close unit bound together with love and support. Thanks to Opi’s amazing strategic thinking, Letty’s organizational skills, Sasha’s unparalleled weapons ability, Tony’s crack talent as a navigator, and Cal’s icy nerve as a battle leader, they found a way to defeat a huge Horde invasion force. But since Molethians don’t fight their own battles, the High Command put no credence in the story of a small Shadow Warrior force destroying an enemy fleet 50 times their size. A bungling investigating committee wrongly and vastly underestimated the enemy casualty total, and since the commanding officer T’Kell suffered many losses, she has been returned to the home world of Molethan and put on trial for incompetence. The Shadow Warriors are called to testify in their commander’s defense. Can they save her career? They’ll need to do it quickly, because The Horde has sent out a huge new invasion force. If our heroes can’t save their commander, the Molethan civilization will surely be destroyed. Even with Commander T’Kell back in command, can Opi and her crew pull off another miracle? Meanwhile, the incompetent High Command threatens to take over the defensive plans, and Molethan’s top navy commanders may snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!
