The World With A Thousand Moons by Edmond Hamilton audiobook. Genre: scifiLance Kenniston is a hard-edged asteroid man running out of time. Stranded on Mars without a ship, he and his hulking Jovian partner, Holk Or, gamble everything on a reckless plan: recruit a bored group of wealthy thrill-seekers and hitch a ride aboard their sleek private cruiser. Kenniston offers them the ultimate adventure - a treasure hunt for the legendary loot of space pirate John Dark, rumored to lie entombed in a wreck on Vesta, the so-called World with a Thousand Moons, ringed by swarming meteors. But Vesta is no romantic backdrop. Its steaming jungle hides brutal, alien predators, and something far worse: small parasitic horrors that can turn living bodies into stolen weapons. As fear rises and supplies dwindle, Kenniston must keep his crew moving, keep his story straight, and keep his own motives buried, while suspicion fractures the party from within. Part pulp space opera, part survival nightmare, this fast, vivid tale pits greed and courage against an uncaring frontier where every moonlit shadow can kill.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:18:24) Chapter 02(00:38:30) Chapter 03(00:54:36) Chapter 04(01:12:57) Chapter 05(01:27:03) Chapter 06 Learn more about your ad choices.

Citadel of the Star Lords by Edmond Hamilton audiobook. Genre: scifiWhen down-on-his-luck pilot Price blunders into military trouble, a desperate flight takes him straight into the shockwave of an experimental blast. The concussion does not kill him - it hurls him into a future Earth a hundred years beyond his own, where the old world has collapsed and the planet is controlled from a formidable stronghold: the citadel of the Star Lords. To the scattered, struggling humans who remain, the Star Lords are invaders and masters, almost indistinguishable from mankind except for the cold efficiency of their rule. Price keeps his true origin hidden as he is pulled between wary survivors, whispered plans of revolt, and the unsettling possibility that the aliens' occupation may not be the simple tyranny it appears. As he learns the citadel's purpose and the shadow of a larger cosmic conflict closes in, Price must decide what - and who - he can trust, even as forbidden attraction complicates every choice. Edmond Hamilton delivers classic, breathless space opera: time travel, high-stakes intrigue, and a lone man forced to gamble the fate of Earth in a war he barely understands.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:06:35) Chapter 02(00:20:40) Chapter 03(00:39:32) Chapter 04(00:56:51) Chapter 05(01:18:00) Chapter 06(01:35:33) Chapter 07(01:53:23) Chapter 08(02:06:23) Chapter 09 Learn more about your ad choices.

Jungle Tales of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs audiobook. Genre: adventureIn Jungle Tales of Tarzan, Edgar Rice Burroughs returns to the steaming heart of equatorial Africa to reveal early, hard-won chapters in the making of the ape-man. Living as an outsider among the great apes yet driven by a human mind he cannot fully name, Tarzan must learn to survive by tooth, vine, and instinct while also grappling with questions of identity, belonging, and rule. Across a series of episodic adventures, he faces rival beasts, treacherous terrain, and the constant pressure of jungle law, where strength is tested daily and mercy can be fatal. But danger does not come only from claws and fangs: rival tribes, strange customs, and the arrival of unfamiliar humans expose Tarzan to new kinds of conflict - pride, jealousy, and the unsettling pull of a world beyond the trees. Each tale deepens the legend, showing how Tarzan earns his place through courage and cunning, and how the jungle itself shapes his fierce sense of justice. Fast, vivid, and mythic, these stories expand the Tarzan saga with primal action and a growing awareness of what it means to be both man and wild.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:38:12) Chapter 02(01:11:13) Chapter 03(01:36:27) Chapter 04(02:16:39) Chapter 05(03:15:04) Chapter 06(04:03:36) Chapter 07(04:29:25) Chapter 08(05:01:57) Chapter 09(05:34:36) Chapter 10(06:19:25) Chapter 11(06:58:50) Chapter 12 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe audiobook. Genre: mysteryIn 19th-century Paris, a pair of brutal, seemingly impossible killings shatter the calm of a quiet neighborhood near the Rue Morgue. The crime scene is baffling: the apartment is locked, the violence is extreme, and witnesses disagree on what they heard - except for one chilling detail, a strange voice that no one can clearly identify. Enter C. Auguste Dupin, an eccentric gentleman with an extraordinary talent for analysis, and his close friend and narrator, who is both fascinated and unsettled by Dupin's methods. Drawn into the case by curiosity and a respect for pure reasoning, Dupin reconstructs the crime step by step, testing assumptions, weighing contradictions, and reading the city itself as if it were a text. As the police chase dead ends and public fear grows, Dupin pursues a single goal: to explain how the murders could have occurred at all. Tense, atmospheric, and sharply logical, this pioneering tale of ratiocination explores the limits of perception, the power of intellect, and the thin line between civilized order and sudden horror.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:32:21) Chapter 02(01:05:31) Chapter 03 Learn more about your ad choices.

Instead, his arrival in San Francisco drops him into a maze of unanswered questions and quiet threats.

With no clear instructions and no trustworthy guide, Giles is forced to navigate unfamiliar streets, evasive strangers, and a tangle of motives that seem to shift every time he gets close to the truth. The deeper he digs, the more he realizes that his cousin's affairs are knotted up with secrets someone will do anything to keep buried. Pulled forward by duty, curiosity, and growing alarm, Giles must decide whom to believe and how far he will go to uncover what happened to Henry - all while feeling, as he puts it, like a man acting completely blindfolded.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:15:59) Chapter 02(00:26:47) Chapter 03(00:42:17) Chapter 04(00:53:26) Chapter 05(01:08:37) Chapter 06(01:30:47) Chapter 07(01:52:17) Chapter 08(02:04:07) Chapter 09(02:24:07) Chapter 10(02:39:45) Chapter 11(03:02:26) Chapter 12(03:23:37) Chapter 13(03:46:54) Chapter 14(04:19:52) Chapter 15(04:45:13) Chapter 16(05:09:10) Chapter 17(05:37:48) Chapter 18(05:58:37) Chapter 19(06:19:59) Chapter 20(06:46:00) Chapter 21(07:05:04) Chapter 22(07:28:09) Chapter 23(07:57:50) Chapter 24(08:23:08) Chapter 25(08:50:51) Chapter 26(09:12:29) Chapter 27(09:28:18) Chapter 28(09:53:31) Chapter 29(10:33:37) Chapter 30(10:48:46) Chapter 31 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Mystery of the Locks by E. W. Howe audiobook. Genre: mysteryDavy's Bend was a dying, lonely, uncared-for river town. So when a stranger showed up one day and bought the old unoccupied house called 'The Locks' one dreary day, the inhabitants of the town were naturally very curious about the stranger, and very curious about his reasons for buying the old house. The Locks had been known for years to display at nighttime a single light showing up in one room, and there was one room in the house which was strictly off-limits to anyone. What was the history behind The Locks that nobody dared to talk about? What was the reason for the stranger's unannounced arrival and purchase of The Locks? Small, dying towns tend to keep their secrets to themselves, and Davy's Bend was no exception. Nor was the stranger's.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:39:55) Chapter 02(00:57:27) Chapter 03(01:20:24) Chapter 04(01:44:18) Chapter 05(01:59:00) Chapter 06(02:35:09) Chapter 07(02:53:32) Chapter 08(03:27:33) Chapter 09(03:55:33) Chapter 10(04:11:25) Chapter 11(04:45:46) Chapter 12(05:13:58) Chapter 13(05:48:59) Chapter 14(06:14:45) Chapter 15(06:47:45) Chapter 16(07:23:45) Chapter 17(07:50:50) Chapter 18(08:18:50) Chapter 19(08:42:54) Chapter 20(09:05:37) Chapter 21(09:31:45) Chapter 22(10:03:41) Chapter 23 Learn more about your ad choices.
