The Valley of the Giants by Peter B. Kyne audiobook. Genre: adventureThe man was John Cardigan; in that lonely, hostile land he was the first pioneer. This is the tale of Cardigan and Cardigan's son, for in his chosen land the pioneer leader in the gigantic task of hewing a path for civilization was to know the bliss of woman's love and of parenthood, and the sorrow that comes of the loss of a perfect mate; he was to know the tremendous joy of accomplishment and worldly success after infinite labour; and in the sunset of life he was to know the dull despair of failure and ruin. Because of these things there is a tale to be told, the tale of Cardigan's son, who, when his sire fell in the fray, took up the fight to save his heritage--a tale of life with its love and hate, its battle, victory, defeat, labour, joy, and sorrow, a tale of that unconquerable spirit of youth which spurred Bryce Cardigan to lead a forlorn hope for the sake not of wealth but of an ideal.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:13:15) Chapter 02(00:29:59) Chapter 03(00:47:50) Chapter 04(01:08:05) Chapter 05(01:13:05) Chapter 06(01:38:09) Chapter 07(01:45:16) Chapter 08(02:07:34) Chapter 09(02:29:57) Chapter 10(02:58:01) Chapter 11(03:08:44) Chapter 12(03:17:17) Chapter 13(03:33:47) Chapter 14(03:50:02) Chapter 15(04:00:18) Chapter 16(04:22:56) Chapter 17(05:08:50) Chapter 18(05:23:28) Chapter 19(06:09:15) Chapter 20(06:37:49) Chapter 21(06:53:53) Chapter 22(07:05:30) Chapter 23(07:32:56) Chapter 24(08:14:56) Chapter 25(08:20:50) Chapter 26(08:49:30) Chapter 27(09:05:59) Chapter 28(09:19:41) Chapter 29(09:45:53) Chapter 30(10:04:44) Chapter 31(10:17:28) Chapter 32(10:25:02) Chapter 33(10:44:25) Chapter 34(10:52:57) Chapter 35(10:58:49) Chapter 36(11:08:40) Chapter 37(11:20:49) Chapter 38(11:46:28) Chapter 39(11:53:13) Chapter 40 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Red Hell of Jupiter by Paul Ernst audiobook. Genre: scifiJupiter's Great Red Spot has become a blank spot on humanity's maps for the worst possible reason: ships sent to investigate it do not return. When Commander Stone of the Planetary Exploration Forces recalls decorated Captain Brand Bowen from leave, he gives him a simple order with an impossible price tag: take a fast scout craft down into Jupiter's murderous atmosphere, skim the boundaries of the Red Spot, and come back with an explanation. Bowen departs with Lieutenant Dex Harlow, a capable partner whose sharp tongue and clashing temperament turn the cramped cockpit into its own pressure chamber. But Jupiter has a stronger pull than gravity. As their craft is inexorably drawn toward the red-stained maelstrom, the two men are swept into a nightmare landscape of strange forces, alien architecture, and a city that should not exist inside a gas giant at all. Surrounded by towering, pipe-limbed beings and the ominous mechanisms they serve, Bowen and Harlow must survive long enough to learn what happened to the missing expeditions and decide what risk a single crew can take to keep Earth safe. A taut pulp-era voyage into the unknown, this is classic science fiction built on menace, wonder, and the cost of curiosity.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:15:37) Chapter 02(00:35:15) Chapter 03(00:50:54) Chapter 04(01:02:00) Chapter 05(01:15:42) Chapter 06(01:31:22) Chapter 07(01:48:16) Chapter 08(01:59:56) Chapter 09(02:13:36) Chapter 10 Learn more about your ad choices.
