The World With A Thousand Moons by Edmond Hamilton audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Lance 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.
