The Men in the Walls by William Tenn audiobook. Genre: scifiThere are giant, technologically superior aliens who have conquered Earth. People live like vermin in holes in the insulation material of the walls of the homes the monsters have built, sneaking out to steal food and other items from the aliens. A complex social and religious order has evolved, with women preserving knowledge and working as healers, while men serve as warriors and thieves. For the aliens, men and women are just a nuisance, neither civilized nor intelligent, and are generally regarded as vermin to be exterminated. This story begins 'Mankind consisted of 128 people. The sheer population pressure of so vast a horde had long ago filled over a dozen burrows.'For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:26:31) Chapter 02(01:05:45) Chapter 03(01:30:16) Chapter 04(01:59:08) Chapter 05(02:20:45) Chapter 06(02:40:37) Chapter 07(03:07:44) Chapter 08(03:23:19) Chapter 09 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo audiobook. Genre: dramaIn medieval Paris, the great cathedral of Notre Dame towers over a city of pageantry, poverty, and fear. Hidden among its bells lives Quasimodo, the cathedral's isolated bell ringer, whose appearance has made him an object of cruelty and superstition. His guardian, the severe archdeacon Claude Frollo, believes order and devotion can master every human impulse, but the city beyond the cloister walls teems with temptations and unrest. When Quasimodo's life collides with Esmeralda, a captivating young dancer who moves between the worlds of commoners and outcasts, a chain of obsession, mercy, and violence is set in motion. As festivals turn to riots and private desires become public dangers, Quasimodo must navigate loyalty and conscience while Esmeralda struggles to survive a web of prejudice, power, and false accusation. With Notre Dame itself as a living presence, Victor Hugo weaves a sweeping tale of fate and choice, exposing how institutions can shelter both sanctity and brutality, and how love can emerge in the least expected places. Rich in atmosphere and moral intensity, the novel confronts beauty and ugliness, justice and spectacle, and the fragile line between salvation and ruin.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:39:40) Chapter 02(01:03:21) Chapter 03(01:21:11) Chapter 04(01:44:18) Chapter 05(02:01:56) Chapter 06(02:07:33) Chapter 07(02:14:35) Chapter 08(02:20:54) Chapter 09(02:47:10) Chapter 10(02:58:29) Chapter 11(03:04:09) Chapter 12(03:52:27) Chapter 13(04:16:15) Chapter 14(04:39:09) Chapter 15(05:45:53) Chapter 16(05:55:06) Chapter 17(06:08:36) Chapter 18(06:29:19) Chapter 19(06:32:45) Chapter 20(06:50:43) Chapter 21(06:53:09) Chapter 22(07:20:33) Chapter 23(08:02:20) Chapter 24(08:31:27) Chapter 25(08:42:27) Chapter 26(09:36:53) Chapter 27(10:01:26) Chapter 28(10:03:28) Chapter 29(10:40:41) Chapter 30(11:03:45) Chapter 31(11:10:04) Chapter 32(11:46:26) Chapter 33(12:01:47) Chapter 34(12:12:40) Chapter 35(12:33:22) Chapter 36(12:54:53) Chapter 37(13:19:23) Chapter 38(13:32:28) Chapter 39(13:41:13) Chapter 40(14:20:40) Chapter 41(14:34:11) Chapter 42(15:18:16) Chapter 43(15:47:36) Chapter 44(15:57:49) Chapter 45(16:05:34) Chapter 46(16:34:07) Chapter 47(16:39:36) Chapter 48(16:47:25) Chapter 49(17:13:12) Chapter 50(17:18:40) Chapter 51(17:38:59) Chapter 52(18:28:02) Chapter 53(19:20:51) Chapter 54(19:46:44) Chapter 55(19:49:09) Chapter 56(19:54:21) Chapter 57(20:30:19) Chapter 58(21:22:23) Chapter 59(21:45:58) Chapter 60(21:48:21) Chapter 61 Learn more about your ad choices.

Tom Swift and the Visitor From Planet X by Victor Appleton audiobook. Genre: scifiTom Swift Jr. and his associates at Swift Enterprises wait breathlessly for what may well be the most important scientific event in history—the arrival of the visitor from Planet X—a visitor in the form of energy. But there are factions at work determined to snatch the energy, which Tom has named Exman, from the young scientist-inventor's grasp. First, a series of unexplainable, devastating earthquakes threaten to destroy a good portion of the earth, and Tom suspects the Brungarian rebels who obviously would like to capture Exman and use the space visitor to further their own evil purposes. With the security of Enterprises and Exman at stake, Tom creates two of his greatest inventions—a Quakelizor to counteract the simulated earth tremors, and a container or 'body' to house the energy from outer space. If the earthquakes cannot be stopped, the entire world will be threatened by destruction, and the Brungarian forces will conquer the earth. How Tom utilizes all his scientific knowledge to produce swift-action results and outwit the Brungarians makes one of the most exciting Tom Swift adventures to date.

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair audiobook. Genre: dramaWhen young immigrant Jurgis Rudkus arrives in Chicago at the turn of the 20th century, America looks like a promise he can finally grasp: steady work, a home of his own, and a future for the family he has brought from Lithuania. But the city he enters is a machine that runs on poverty and desperation, and its beating heart is the stockyards and packinghouses of Packingtown. As Jurgis struggles to keep his household afloat, he confronts brutal labor, dangerous conditions, predatory landlords, corruption that reaches from the street to the courthouse, and a culture that treats working people as disposable. Each setback tightens the vise, pushing him toward choices he never imagined he would face and forcing him to question what survival costs. Told with relentless detail and moral urgency, The Jungle is both a gripping personal story and a searing indictment of industrial capitalism, exposing how power, profit, and politics shape everyday life. It is a landmark novel that asks whether dignity is possible in a system designed to grind it down - and what it takes to fight back.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:57:13) Chapter 02(01:25:01) Chapter 03(01:58:16) Chapter 04(02:31:48) Chapter 05(02:59:28) Chapter 06(03:26:08) Chapter 07(03:56:26) Chapter 08(04:17:24) Chapter 09(04:42:55) Chapter 10(05:10:09) Chapter 11(05:36:51) Chapter 12(05:57:01) Chapter 13(06:19:44) Chapter 14(06:40:04) Chapter 15(07:15:53) Chapter 16(07:40:45) Chapter 17(08:07:04) Chapter 18(08:34:19) Chapter 19(08:59:51) Chapter 20(09:27:38) Chapter 21(09:53:43) Chapter 22(10:23:54) Chapter 23(10:51:17) Chapter 24(11:22:36) Chapter 25(12:14:03) Chapter 26(12:59:01) Chapter 27(13:37:03) Chapter 28(14:18:00) Chapter 29(14:42:58) Chapter 30(15:16:34) Chapter 31 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Book of Life by Upton Sinclair audiobook. Genre: self helpWritten as a candid, practical guide for ordinary people, Upton Sinclair's The Book of Life gathers the questions he received from readers and turns them into a wide-ranging blueprint for living with more clarity, health, and purpose. Speaking directly and often provocatively, Sinclair argues that many of the things people most need to know are not taught by schools, newspapers, or churches, and he sets out to fill that gap with plain talk and hard-won lessons. Across its two-part structure, he moves from the life of the mind - faith and reason, morals, habits, fear and hope, and the hidden motives that shape behavior - to the life of the body, weighing everyday choices about food, work, rest, and the claims of popular cures. He then widens the lens to love and society, asking what makes relationships endure, what responsibilities we owe to family and community, and how to think honestly amid politics, money, and social pressure. Part manifesto, part handbook, and part personal reckoning, this is Sinclair at his most direct: urging readers to test ideas in lived experience and to build a life that is both kinder and more deliberate.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 00(00:11:57) Chapter 01(00:35:41) Chapter 02(00:59:37) Chapter 03(01:29:38) Chapter 04(01:59:29) Chapter 05(02:31:02) Chapter 06(03:11:58) Chapter 07(03:52:30) Chapter 08(04:21:17) Chapter 09(04:55:11) Chapter 10(05:22:24) Chapter 11(05:43:52) Chapter 12(06:16:32) Chapter 13(06:47:51) Chapter 14(07:17:17) Chapter 15(07:52:24) Chapter 16(08:25:27) Chapter 17(09:10:14) Chapter 18(09:42:47) Chapter 19(10:20:46) Chapter 20(10:50:35) Chapter 21(11:30:54) Chapter 22(12:03:40) Chapter 23(12:36:37) Chapter 24(13:12:19) Chapter 25(13:32:40) Chapter 26(14:06:07) Chapter 27(14:37:34) Chapter 28(15:17:23) Chapter 29(15:41:31) Chapter 30(16:11:13) Chapter 31(16:46:32) Chapter 32(17:19:33) Chapter 33(17:48:07) Chapter 34(18:19:12) Chapter 35 Learn more about your ad choices.

Unidentified Flying Objects by United States Federal Bureau of Investigation audiobook. Genre: scienceThrough the U.S. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) this series of communications has been de-classified and made public. Most names have been omitted, however much information of the sightings of UFOs in 1947 can be gleaned from these communications which were primarily between the FBI and other U.S. Government and military organizations.It should be noted that the U.S. Air Force only became a separate entity in 1947, having split from the U.S. Army at that time. And they became very busy times for the fledgling military organization. The slant of this de-classified material is chiefly written communications between the FBI and the military machine in 1947. Correspondence herein spans July and August of 1947 which will forever remain as the beginning of serious first-hand UFO experience in the annals of history.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 1(00:14:15) Chapter 2(00:26:01) Chapter 3(00:34:42) Chapter 4(00:46:09) Chapter 5(00:57:17) Chapter 6 Learn more about your ad choices.

Space Prison by Tom Godwin audiobook. Genre: scifiWhen the colony ship Constellation flees a newly declared interstellar war, its 8,000 passengers believe salvation lies ahead on Athena, a green world beyond the reach of the expanding Gern Empire. Then the Gerns find them. With the ship crippled and air running out, surrender is forced, and the invaders sort human lives with cold efficiency: the skilled become Acceptables, taken onward as slave labor, while the rest are branded Rejects and dumped on the nearest so-called Earth-type planet. Irene Lois Humbolt and her five-year-old son, Billy, are among those abandoned on Ragnarok, a world of punishing gravity, scarce metals, predatory wildlife, and a swift, lethal fever that can erase hard-won progress overnight. Cut off from technology and from the loved ones stolen away to Athena, the survivors must forge shelter, tools, and rules from whatever the planet allows, while grief and anger threaten to splinter them from within. Spanning years and then generations, Space Prison follows a people remade by an unforgiving planet as they fight to stay human, stay alive, and keep a single, dangerous hope burning: that one day the Gerns will answer for what they have done.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:31:11) Chapter 02(01:00:46) Chapter 03(01:32:18) Chapter 04(02:04:00) Chapter 05(02:31:49) Chapter 06(03:02:50) Chapter 07(03:30:05) Chapter 08(03:56:03) Chapter 09(04:21:05) Chapter 10(04:50:03) Chapter 11(05:25:43) Chapter 12 Learn more about your ad choices.
