Buccaneers and the Pirates of Our Coast by Frank Richard Stockton audiobook.
Genre: history
In Buccaneers and Pirates of Our Coasts, Frank Richard Stockton turns a boyhood fascination with sea rovers into a brisk, story-driven history of piracy in the Caribbean and along the American shoreline. Stockton begins by tracing how the first buccaneers emerged from rough frontier life and escalating conflict with Spanish power, then follows piracy as it becomes a trade, a temptation, and finally a scourge that draws in ambitious captains, desperate recruits, and whole colonial communities caught between fear and profit. Each chapter reads like a self-contained tale, introducing notorious names and vivid incidents: early West Indian raiders, would-be apprentices to the craft, and larger-than-life figures such as Henry Morgan, L'Olonnois, Blackbeard, Stede Bonnet, and Captain Kidd. Along the way come strange episodes - a pearl pirate's gambit, improbable escapes, uneasy alliances with respectable society, and even rare stories of women pirates - all told in Stockton's clear, dramatic voice. Without romanticizing the brutality, the book shows how greed, revenge, and politics shaped the pirate world, and why the legend proved harder to sink than the ships themselves.

3 Science Fiction Stories by Frank Herbert audiobook.
Genre: scifi
In 3 Science Fiction Stories, Frank Herbert showcases the sharp, unsettling imagination that would later make him famous, through three compact tales from the late 1950s. In Missing Link, junior Interstellar Agency fieldman Lewis Orne lands on the jungle world of Gienah III to investigate a vanished human ship, only to find that the planet's inhabitants may now hold technology they were never meant to touch, and that a single misstep in first contact could trigger ruthless retaliation from distant authorities. Operation Haystack throws Orne into a wider web of political suspicion, where fanatics, hidden bloodlines, and quiet social engineering turn a routine assignment into a dangerous game of infiltration and divided loyalties. Rounding out the collection, Old Rambling House shifts to Earthbound dread: a young couple trades their trailer for an improbably perfect house, and discovers that the dream of stability can become a contract with forces that do not share human ideas of consent, family, or escape. Together, these stories explore power, bureaucracy, and the price of control, with Herbert's trademark tension between individual choice and systems that think in centuries.

The Harbor of Doubt by Frank Williams audiobook.
Genre: mystery
When young fishing captain Code Schofield staggers home as the sole survivor of a wreck at sea, he expects grief and hard work, not whispers. Six months after the schooner May Schofield goes down in an Atlantic gale near the rocky islands off Grande Mignon, the tight-knit communities of Freekirk Head and the surrounding coast begin to turn on him. Old friends avert their eyes, dockside gossip hardens into accusation, and the facts that should have saved him - a legal insurance payout and a new vessel, the Charming Lass - only deepen the suspicion that he profited from disaster. With an insurance investigation looming and his oldest rival, Nat Burns, eager to see him fall, Code finds himself fighting on two fronts: the unforgiving ocean that made his name, and the island politics that can destroy it. The one person willing to stand beside him is Elsa Mallaby, a sharp-tongued woman of means whose loyalty comes with its own complications. As Code pushes back out onto dangerous waters, every fog bank, every strange signal, and every hidden grudge threatens to turn doubt into ruin.
