Hellhounds of the Cosmos by Clifford D. Simak audiobook.

Genre: scifi

For six months the world has been coming apart. Towns vanish overnight, expeditions return broken and babbling, and the newspapers can only give the terror a name: the Black Horror. It does not march like an army or land like a spaceship - it simply appears, leaving ruin behind, and every weapon humanity owns seems useless against it. As panic spreads and civilization strains to hold together, one man offers a theory as frightening as the threat itself. Dr. Silas White believes the invaders are not from another planet, but from the fourth dimension - and that the only way to stop them is to meet them on their own ground. Caught between skepticism, fear, and the relentless pressure of each new atrocity, a hard-nosed reporter, Henry Woods, finds himself drawn into White's plan. The proposal is simple to state and nearly impossible to survive: send ninety-eight volunteers across the dimensional barrier, remake them for a realm beyond human senses, and ask them to fight for a planet they may never see again. What follows is a compact, high-stakes journey into the unknown, where science becomes desperation and courage is the last remaining defense.

The World That Couldn’t Be by Clifford D. Simak audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Layard was a curiosity to sociologists. The planet supported thriving tribes of natives but they were genderless. How could tribes form without families? But Gavin Duncan didn’t care. He had come to Layard to farm vua plants. Their berries cured mental illnesses and were one of the most expensive commodities in the galaxy. He was going to make his fortune if he could just keep the Cytha at bay, a big, dumb animal that could munch through 10 rows of vua in a night. Despite native superstitions he was going to have to hunt and kill the pest if he was to protect his crop. It was a dim-witted beast. How hard could it be? – “The World That Couldn’t Be” was first published in the January 1958 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine.

Project Mastodon by Clifford D. Simak audiobook.

Genre: scifi

When three longtime friends stumble onto a working time-jump device, they do not rush to change history - they go looking for opportunity. Wesley Adams, a visionary deal-maker, John Cooper, his blunt and loyal right hand, and Chuck Hudson, a well-connected former diplomat, leap back tens of thousands of years to a North America that is familiar in outline but ruled by Pleistocene reality: shifting glaciers, altered landscapes, and the looming presence of mastodons and other dangerous wildlife. Their bold plan is not just to explore, but to claim: they plant a flag, set up a rough capital, and announce the birth of a brand-new nation - Mastodonia - in a time before modern borders exist. But building a country is harder than naming one. While two men guard supplies and wrestle with survival in the ancient wilderness, the third returns to the twentieth century to seek recognition, investment, and legitimacy. What follows is a wry, fast-moving clash between big dreams and hard logistics, as ambition, bureaucracy, and the raw facts of deep time threaten to turn a clever scheme into a very expensive mistake.
