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.

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 Island of Appledore by Cornelia Meigs audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Any one who knows the coast of New England will know also the Island of Appledore and just where it lies. Such a person can tell you that it is not exactly the place described in this book, that it is small and bare and rocky with no woods, no meadows, no church, or mill, or mill-creek road. Perhaps all that the story tells of it that is true is that there the rocks give forth their strange deep song, “the calling of Appledore,” as warning of a storm, that there the poppies bloom as nowhere else in the world, that there the surf comes rolling in, day in and day out, the whole year through, and that there one’s memory turns back with longing, no matter how many years of absence have gone by. There, also, you can sit for hours to watch the huge, green breakers come foaming and tumbling in endless procession up the stony beach; you can watch the nimble sandpipers and the tireless, wheeling gulls; and if you choose you can spin for yourself just such a story as this one of Billy Wentworth and Captain Saulsby and Sally Shute, a tale of mysteries and perils and midnight adventures on the shores of Appledore.
