A Matter of Importance by Murray Leinster audiobook. Genre: scifiThe importance of a matter is almost entirely a matter of your attitude. And whether you call something 'a riot' or 'a war' ... well, there is a difference, but what is it? Someone steals a space ship? The local police know how to handle that. A broken down freighter in a far distant solar system? That's their normal job too. A bunch of idiots want to start a war? Just another days' work for the boys in blue. The twisted mind of Murray Leinster takes on an Earth empire of thousands of planets and that has moved beyond armies or navies. No need for 'em any more when you have an experienced police force, eh? They've seen it all and everything is routine to the guys and gals of the Empire Police.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:25:02) Chapter 02(00:48:52) Chapter 03(01:13:22) Chapter 04 Learn more about your ad choices.

Lady’s Life on a Farm in Manitoba by Mrs. Cecil Hall audiobook. Genre: biographyIn 1881, Mrs. Cecil Hall's brother went to Manitoba to farm. In 1882, she went out for a visit of some two months, and followed that visit with a long sojourn in Colorado, returning to England as the snows began to fall. While there, she had to give up her 'Lady's ways' and help on the farm in many ways she'd never stoop to at home. She makes hay, cooks, paints the barn roof, and cleans. Through it all, the newness helped her keep her temper, and these letters home show an insight into the settlement of Western Canada. These letters have a feel of 'Little House on the Prairie' from an English lady's point of view.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:02:42) Chapter 02(00:05:55) Chapter 03(00:12:05) Chapter 04(00:15:35) Chapter 05(00:22:10) Chapter 06(00:28:17) Chapter 07(00:33:30) Chapter 08(00:37:07) Chapter 09(00:43:21) Chapter 10(00:45:40) Chapter 11(00:58:48) Chapter 12(01:01:53) Chapter 13(01:08:18) Chapter 14(01:16:09) Chapter 15(01:25:00) Chapter 16(01:27:36) Chapter 17(01:31:33) Chapter 18(01:44:48) Chapter 19(01:48:19) Chapter 20(01:52:47) Chapter 21(02:16:50) Chapter 22(02:21:29) Chapter 23(02:26:10) Chapter 24(02:28:30) Chapter 25(02:34:25) Chapter 26(02:39:44) Chapter 27(02:40:45) Chapter 28(02:48:30) Chapter 29(02:49:47) Chapter 30(02:53:55) Chapter 31(02:56:36) Chapter 32(02:59:32) Chapter 33(03:03:54) Chapter 34(03:06:51) Chapter 35(03:09:58) Chapter 36(03:13:37) Chapter 37(03:17:16) Chapter 38 Learn more about your ad choices.

The House of a Thousand Candles by Meredith Nicholson audiobook. Genre: mysteryA top ten bestseller of 1906, The House of a Thousand Candles is part adventure/mystery and part romance. The book begins with young Jack Glenarm returning from various exploits in Europe and Africa for the reading of his grandfather’s will. In it, he stands to inherit his grandfather’s estate, but only if he can remain for one year in residence at the old man’s unfinished “House of a Thousand Candles” in Annandale, Indiana, with only his grandfather’s mysterious valet for company. If he violates the terms of the will, the house will go to a young woman, heretofore unknown to him, whom the will also forbids Jack to marry if he wants to retain his inheritance. This all sounds very mundane to Jack and he fully expects to be quite bored in very short order. Soon after Jack’s arrival at Glenarm House, however, various strange occurrences ensue, and he soon finds himself absorbed in the most lively adventure of his life!For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:25:51) Chapter 02(00:44:13) Chapter 03(00:57:06) Chapter 04(01:15:56) Chapter 05(01:36:12) Chapter 06(01:46:44) Chapter 07(02:02:30) Chapter 08(02:14:36) Chapter 09(02:33:53) Chapter 10(02:49:54) Chapter 11(03:02:21) Chapter 12(03:17:14) Chapter 13(03:30:36) Chapter 14(03:46:54) Chapter 15(03:57:57) Chapter 16(04:12:31) Chapter 17(04:26:08) Chapter 18(04:42:28) Chapter 19(05:00:46) Chapter 20(05:15:02) Chapter 21(05:26:42) Chapter 22(05:38:19) Chapter 23(05:57:27) Chapter 24(06:11:44) Chapter 25(06:26:26) Chapter 26(06:51:33) Chapter 27(07:05:58) Chapter 28(07:14:19) Chapter 29 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Rangeland Avenger by Max Brand audiobook.

Lowrie, Quade, and the long, haunted Sandersen choose self-preservation over loyalty, leaving Hal behind beneath a pitiless sun. News of the betrayal reaches Hal's brother, Riley Sinclair: a hard, solitary cowpuncher with a strict code and a grim patience for settling accounts. Riley follows the trail into the cattle-and-dust world of Sour Creek, where fear, greed, and reputation can be deadlier than any gun. There, Riley is pulled into a second kind of trial when he is asked to watch over John Gaspar - the soft-spoken schoolteacher the locals mockingly call Cold Feet - a man with a price on his head and few friends willing to stand up for him. Caught between a promise of revenge and the demands of justice, Riley must decide what it really means to be an avenger on the open range.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:20:07) Chapter 02(00:29:45) Chapter 03(00:47:42) Chapter 04(01:00:08) Chapter 05(01:16:13) Chapter 06(01:30:03) Chapter 07(01:41:16) Chapter 08(01:56:09) Chapter 09(02:14:07) Chapter 10(02:27:58) Chapter 11(02:44:42) Chapter 12(03:00:51) Chapter 13(03:11:13) Chapter 14(03:34:12) Chapter 15(03:43:08) Chapter 16(03:59:10) Chapter 17(04:23:05) Chapter 18(04:39:02) Chapter 19(04:51:49) Chapter 20(05:02:59) Chapter 21(05:17:26) Chapter 22(05:29:35) Chapter 23(05:43:43) Chapter 24(06:03:28) Chapter 25(06:20:56) Chapter 26(06:34:25) Chapter 27(06:49:01) Chapter 28(06:59:15) Chapter 29(07:09:29) Chapter 30(07:26:13) Chapter 31(07:45:56) Chapter 32(08:08:07) Chapter 33(08:20:23) Chapter 34(08:33:56) Chapter 35 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Children’s Life of the Bee by Maurice Maeterlinck audiobook. Genre: scienceIn The Childrens Life of the Bee, Nobel Prize-winning writer Maurice Maeterlinck turns the beehive into a living, breathing city that young listeners can understand and marvel at. Written as a simpler, more accessible companion to his famous The Life of the Bee, this classic 1901 work guides you from the first excitement of a swarm to the daily rhythm of a settled colony. Maeterlinck introduces the hive's central figures, the queen, the tireless workers, and the languid drones, and explains what each is for, how the community is organized, and why its rules can seem both strict and strangely beautiful. Along the way, he describes wax-building and comb-making, the gathering of nectar and pollen, the making of honey, and the constant push and pull between safety, hunger, weather, and instinct. Blending clear natural observation with a storyteller's lyricism, Maeterlinck invites children (and curious adults) to see how cooperation, sacrifice, and mystery shape life inside the hive, and to wonder what this tiny society might reflect about our own.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 1(00:11:26) Chapter 2(01:02:57) Chapter 3(01:46:39) Chapter 4(02:07:02) Chapter 5(02:17:10) Chapter 6 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Courage of the Commonplace by Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews audiobook. Genre: dramaSet against the pageantry and pressure-cooker rituals of early-20th-century Yale, The Courage of the Commonplace follows Johnny McLean, a likable, athletic junior who discovers that the verdict of his classmates can feel like a verdict on his whole life. As Tap Day approaches - the moment when a select few are chosen for the elite senior societies - Johnny measures himself against rivals who seem effortlessly destined for honor, and against a family legacy that leaves little room for ordinary outcomes. When the campus celebration turns into a private reckoning, Johnny must decide whether to keep chasing approval or to rebuild his sense of worth from the inside out. Pushing himself into demanding work and tougher standards than he has ever lived by, he carries those hard-won habits beyond New Haven and into the industrial world, where status means nothing and responsibility can be immediate and unforgiving. In a community shaped by engines, ore, and risk, Johnny is tested by leadership, loyalty, and fear - and learns what kind of bravery lasts when the cheering stops. A poignant coming-of-age story, it asks what success really is, and whether quiet, daily discipline can be its own form of heroism.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:24:40) Chapter 02(00:42:58) Chapter 03(01:02:59) Chapter 04 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Planet Savers by Marion Zimmer Bradley audiobook. Genre: scifiOn the isolated world of Darkover, a terrifying epidemic returns like clockwork: Trailmen's fever, a disease that flares every forty-eight years and can sweep through the human settlements with catastrophic speed. The Terran Trade City is desperate for a cure, and Dr. Randall Forth believes the key lies not only in medicine but in understanding the planet's elusive indigenous people, the tree-dwelling Trailmen of the Hellers. His best hope may be the brilliant but dangerously ill Dr. Jay Allison, a man whose mind has been split by hypnosis into two competing selves: the cold, scientific Jay and the daring, charismatic Jason, who has the survival skills and childhood ties needed to reach the Trailmen. Sent into the mountains with a mixed party of Terrans and Darkovans, including the politically powerful Regis Hastur and the formidable guide Kyla Raineach, Allison must navigate perilous terrain, armed hostility, and deep cultural mistrust. As the expedition pushes toward first contact and fragile negotiation, Allison's inner war becomes as urgent as the plague itself, raising the question of what it will cost to save an entire planet.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 1(00:43:40) Chapter 2(01:34:07) Chapter 3(02:22:50) Chapter 4 Learn more about your ad choices.
