Black Amazon of Mars by Leigh Brackett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Carrying out the last wishes of a comrade, mercenary Eric John Stark takes on the task of returning a stolen talisman to a walled city near the Martian pole; a city that guards the mysterious Gates of Death. Now all he has to do is get past the brutal clans of Mekh and the shadowy Lord Ciaran to get to Kushat where they’ll probably attempt to kill him. All while he tries to hold on to a talisman that imprints ancient memories of the Gates in his mind. That’s not easy for a human raised by Mercurian aborigines. - Black Amazon of Mars is the third story to feature Brackett’s hero Eric John Stark, and was later expanded into the novel People of the Talisman. It was first published in Planet Stories magazine in March of 1951.

Venus Boy by Lee Sutton audiobook.

Genre: romance

If you ever make a trip to the green planet of Venus, the first thing you'll see will be the fifty-foot high statue of Venus' greatest hero. It stands on the very top of towering New Plymouth Rock at the edge of the old colony of New Plymouth. Even from the rocket cradle, anyone can tell that the statue is of a twelve-year-old boy smiling up at the Venusian jewel bear perched on his shoulder. Cut into the huge rock below the statue are the words,

'Virgil Dare (Johnny) Watson And the Marva, Baba. May their Friendship Endure!'

Virgil Dare Watson, called Johnny by his friends, was the first human being born on Venus. He was named after Virginia Dare, the first pioneer child born in North America, and for a long time he was the only child on all Venus. And that would have been a lonely thing to be if it had not been for Baba. Baba, the bear, was not only Johnny's pet, but his best friend, too, and the only one who knew about his three secrets.

Because of these secrets, Johnny got himself, his jewel bear, Baba, and the whole colony of New Plymouth into desperate trouble. And because of these secrets, he also became a hero worthy of a statue—Venus' greatest hero.

Shannach - The Last by Leigh Douglass Brackett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On the Twilight Belt of Mercury, hard-bitten prospector Trevor has one obsession: sun-stones, the rare crystals that can buy a lifetime of freedom. When an earthquake buries his ship and leaves him to die in suffocating darkness, he gambles on the planet's ancient tunnels - and is swept into a hidden valley where water runs clean, crops grow green, and a stone city rises from the mist. But this pocket of paradise is ruled by terror. Winged lizard-things circle like trained hawks, hunters ride out at a booming signal, and men with sun-stones set into their foreheads serve a brutal order. Trevor's first act of mercy - stepping between a hunted girl and her pursuers - marks him as an enemy, a prize, and possibly a tool. As he learns what the sun-stones can do, and who (or what) listens through them, Trevor is pulled into a conflict that is bigger than profit and more dangerous than any cave-in: the struggle to break a silent, ancient tyranny without becoming its next mask. In Leigh Brackett's shadowy planetary romance, survival is only the beginning - the real fight is for the right to think and choose.
