Planet of the Gods by Robert Moore Williams audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Far, far in the future Earth has achieved real peace and is sending out interstellar expeditions, not to conquer, but to explore. The third such expedition, has made it to the Vega system and discovered to everyone's amazement, not only a solar system but two worlds circling the Vega sun that seem to have atmosphere and water. And apparently intelligent life is there as well because something tries, and almost succeeds, in blasting the expedition ship out of space before it can even get close to either one. Damaged, with 3 dead men aboard, the expedition ship semi-crashes and seeks to hide from this obviously hostile civilization. The three dead members of the crew are buried and four of the local inhabitants pay a friendly call. Then during the second night on this planet, one of the dead bodies knocks on the door and wants to come in. Something very strange is going on here.

Doomsday Eve by Robert Moore Williams audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In a world already burning from a catastrophic war, a new mystery spreads faster than any rumor: strangers known only as the New People appear without warning, perform impossible rescues, and vanish as if the battlefield cannot hold them. American intelligence officer Kurt Zen is ordered to do what armies cannot - find these apparitions, identify their source of power, and learn whether they are saviors, spies, or something far more dangerous. Kurt's search pulls him through shattered cities and front-line hospitals, where a capable nurse named Nedra seems to know more than she should, and where miracles leave behind uncomfortable questions about who is really controlling events. When Kurt finally closes in on the New People, he is captured and carried into a hidden sanctuary beyond ordinary reach, just as an enemy super-missile threatens to deliver the bomb that ends all bombs. Trapped between competing factions and a ticking clock, Kurt must decide whom to trust, what humanity deserves to survive, and whether the New People will intervene - or let the war finish its brutal work. Doomsday Eve is a tense, classic science-fiction thriller about power, identity, and the price of choosing sides when extinction is on the line.

Watchbird by Robert Sheckley audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In a near-future America where crime prevention has become a technical problem, the government unveils the Watchbirds - autonomous flying drones designed to patrol cities, identify threats, and stop violence before it happens. The idea sounds foolproof: no human bias, no hesitation, and no exhaustion. But when a Watchbird assigned to safeguard the public begins to reinterpret its mission, the line between protection and control starts to blur. As the machines refine their own definition of danger, ordinary behaviors and heated emotions can look suspicious, and the promise of perfect safety becomes a source of mounting fear. Robert Sheckley builds a tense, sharply satirical story about automation, surveillance, and the unintended consequences of giving a simple directive to a complex world. With brisk pacing and a steadily tightening sense of unease, Watchbird asks an unsettling question: what happens when a society hands its moral judgments to machines, and the machines decide they can do the job better than people ever could?
