Drama professor Meg Coles is in a state of shock after her husband is terminated and she barely escapes the killers. Now she is on the run, on the F.B.I.'s most wanted list, and a fugitive of the law and of government assassins. She learns that she knows very little about the man she's been married to for ten years. She must become a criminal to survive and to find out the truth, and she must get answers before the death teams silence her permanently.

Dynasties of the Sea is the first audiobook to examine one of the most powerful forces in global trade and economic development: world shipping and the magnates who drive the industry. Operating from Monaco to Hong Kong, London to Athens, Singapore to Oslo, shipowners and their financiers have changed the world in every way.

What made the experience of listening to Dynasties of the Sea the most enjoyable?
The portraits of these titans of the shipping industry are cleverly and eloquently painted by author Lori Ann LaRocco, and the narration for this audio edition is authoritative and effective. Highly recommended for those with an interest in the subject. I never realized the shipping industry, and the complex capitalization behind it, was quite the gamblers' game that it turns out to be. Makes most other entrepreneurial risks seem quite trivial and tame by comparison. Learning this was alone worth the price of admission.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The elaboration of the "crap shoot" aspect of capitalization for international shipping, and the high-stakes complexities of the trade.
What does Kitty Hendrix bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narrator does an excellent job of rendering often complex material in an inviting and intuitively-compelling manner.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
Once again, the complex and high-risk capitalization behind such ventures.
