Planet of Dread by Murray Leinster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Humans have expanded to myriads of worlds throughout the galaxies but they have found that the only way for colonies to be self sustaining, was to reproduce the total ecology of their home world; the original Earth. This meant bringing the entire ecosystem, the good, the bad and the ugly. Viruses as well as grass, goats as well as stink bugs and allowing the whole mixture to ultimately produce an inhabitable world for humans. But what happens when this system is not properly supervised? Moran and the others in the space yacht Nadine find a world where strange things have been brewing for over a hundred years and may or may not survive an environment gone mad.

Sand Doom by Murray Leinster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Senior Colonial Survey officer Bordman expects a routine assignment: ride the freighter Warlock down to Xosa II, inspect a minerals colony that should be nearly complete, and file the report that will open the planet to regular traffic. Instead, the Warlock brakes into orbit under emergency rockets and dumps its only two passengers, Bordman and the sharp-witted Aletha Redfeather, into a cramped landing boat. On the ground, the explanation is as impossible as it is simple: a colossal sandstorm has buried the colony's landing grid - along with much of the steel and equipment needed to finish it - under a new-made sand plateau. With no grid to bring ships down safely, the Warlock cannot land its vital cargo. With the ship trapped close to an Earth-gravity world, it cannot use its drive to leave and fetch help. And without imported supplies and power, the colonists face heat, thirst, and starvation on a planet that is nothing but wind-carved desert. Forced to abandon paperwork for pragmatism, Bordman clashes and bonds with project engineer Ralph Redfeather, the booming Dr. Chuka, and a multicultural crew of settlers as they hunt for one workable break in a perfectly circular disaster - before time and sand finish the job.
