Gambler’s World & The Yillian Way by Keith Laumer audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In Gamblers World & The Yillian Way, Keith Laumer drops you into the sly, hard-hitting universe of Jame Retief, a working diplomat for Terra's sprawling Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne who has little patience for ceremony when lives are on the line. In Gambler's World, Retief arrives on Petreac alongside puffed-up superiors and fragile treaty obligations, only to find a society where status, power, and even politics are settled like wagers. As unrest builds and rival factions circle, Retief must read the room faster than any professional cardsharp, spotting who is bluffing, who is cornered, and who is ready to turn a diplomatic reception into a massacre. In The Yillian Way, a mission to the Yills becomes a minefield of protocol: every greeting, gift, and meal is a test, and every mistake could be fatal. While the official delegation clings to rules and titles, Retief relies on nerve, humor, and a keen understanding of how insults function in alien culture. Part political farce, part adventure, these two tales skewer bureaucracy while celebrating competence under pressure.

The Branding Iron by Katharine Newlin Burt audiobook.

Genre: romance

From the cold and mountainous regions of Wyoming to the bright lights of the big city, The Branding Iron is the story of a remarkable woman, Joan Carver. Born of poor means, at a fairly young age Joan decides to leave her father and strike out on her own, but she is to face more difficulties and hardships than she had reckoned for, and the men she encounters on her way share different means of dealing with her; and she of them. She becomes her own individual, with a strong will and a determination to lead her life as she sees fit. As with many of Ms. Burt's stories, The Branding Iron is filled with unexpected surprises at each turn.
