Audiobooks from Arx Publishing

We are pleased to announce that, after years of consideration, we have begun releasing our books in audio formats. This project is still very much in the experimental phase, so we are releasing books on different platform to determine the best venues for each. Some of the books will utilize increasingly life-like AI narration. Others will have narration by an actual person—in some cases the author. Samples are available at the links provided. 

Our current list of audiobooks may be found below. Check back regularly to see what new titles we have released. Or else, sign up for our mailing list for updates as they occur. 

Note that occasionally the price for an audiobook on Google or Amazon will differ from the one we're showing here. In nearly every case, their price will show an additional discount. If you happen to notice an instance where Amazon or Google's price is higher than the one we're showing, please let us know.

Angelsi
 
Angels in Iron
by Nicholas C. Prata

In addition to being an exciting action/adventure yarn and quite a page-turner, Angels in Iron is valuable as a miniature history lesson as well....This is a book that belongs on the bookshelf of every Catholic man, should be read by every Catholic boy (11 or older, I would say), and stocked by every Catholic school library.
—Latin Mass Magazine
 
The short chapters are like potato chips...you can't stop after just a few and you keep going back for more. A fascinating read for adults and teens....
Saint Linus Review

Based on the actual events surrounding the Siege of Malta in 1565. Nicholas C. Prata's novel relates the tale in riveting prose which brings the valor and faithfulness of the knights and the unimaginable horror of combat sharply into focus. More...

Belisarius
 
Belisarius
Book I: The First Shall Be Last

by Paolo A. Belzoni

An ambitious tale, filled with action, spectacle, and intrigues of all kinds....painstakingly authentic in its historical, military, and religious detail, assiduously researched and replete with facts.
—CatholicFiction.net
 
A great new resource for those of you “reading your way through history.”...What I really like about this telling of the story is that it is not a white-washed version of the times, or of Belisarius....He is an appealing character, one the reader sympathizes with and roots for.

BelisariusII
 
Belisarius
Book II: Glory of the Romans

by Paolo A. Belzoni

Even better than volume one! The court intrigue, seditions, and reprisals made volume two stick to my hands until the last page. Belisarius is someone worth knowing, and his relationship with Emperor Justinian tense. A thoroughly exciting book for readers of all backgrounds. I can't recommend it highly enough.
—Christopher D. Murphy
 
“We voyage through Belisarius' military campaigns in North Africa and the conspiracies of the Byzantine world. Well written, accurate and entertaining, this is a must read.
—Alfonso Marin

From the desert wastes of Mesopotamia, to the burning streets of Constantinople, to the crumbling walls of ancient Carthage, Glory of the Romans follows the daring exploits of Belisarius as his virtues are put to the test.. More...

Masaru
 
Masaru
by Michael T. Cibenko

A scholarly and creatively told story of a young boy in mid-16th century Japan who chooses to pursue the path of “Iesu” or “Jesus” toward Christianity....This story is both intriguing and lovely from beginning to end, with enough conquests to engage even the pickiest of young readers.”
—Catholic Media Association Awards

Masaru is a satisfying novel. (While reading it, I remarked to myself several times how well it would translate to film.) I recommend it to those seeking quality fiction that is grounded in the faith, and to anyone interested in Church history, Japanese culture, or simply a well-told tale of adventure and self-sacrifice.
—New Oxford Review

When the small church of Saint Michael in Hitoyoshi is closed, its priest Fr. Olivera arrested, and his friend Kumiko brutally attacked, Shiro knows he must take action. Along with his boyhood friend, Tomi, Shiro embarks on a mission to rescue Fr. Olivera and defend the helpless Kirishitans of southern Kyushu.

Menagerie of Marsepink
 
The Menagerie of Marsepink
by Claudio R. Salvucci

The Menagerie of Marsepink is a great short read, especially if you enjoy the short stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne. The author delves into the issue of science divorced from metaphysics in a manner that is insightful, yet still entertaining for the reader. I highly recommend the book!
—Alyssa M. Hichborn on Amazon.com

A bright young zoology professor arrives at a prestigious Long Island college filled with jaded, materialistic scientists. But in a tower high above their heads, the college's angelic heiress devotedly watches over a collection of handmade animals made of a more mysterious stuff than cloth and string.

A tribute to the works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Menagerie of Marsepink is a moral allegory on the limits of natural science and the supernatural reality of the soul. This short story successfully captures the atmosphere and charm which characterize the works of the great 19th century scribe.
