Quest of the Golden Ape by Randall Garrett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

A lonely, forbidden mansion hidden in the backwoods has repelled curious visitors for a century, guarded by uncanny psychological barriers that feel stronger than iron. But John Pride, a steady middle-aged lawyer bound by an old family promise, forces his way through on the one night the barriers weaken and finds an impossibly ancient man clinging to life, desperate for a final duty to be fulfilled. Far across space on the planet Tarth, rival nations converge on the empty Plains of Ofrid to witness the end of a legend: an indestructible tower built by Portox, the vanished scientist of a slaughtered people, and a great clock counting down one hundred years to an awakening and an avenger. When the clock tolls, violence and politics ignite at once, and the shockwave reaches Pride's secret vault on Earth, where a powerful young man rises with a perfect body, a fractured mind, and only echoes of terror and vengeance where a past should be. Pulled between two worlds, he must piece together who he is, why he was hidden, and what price Tarth will demand when old crimes come due.

Nor Iron Bars A Cage. by Randall Garrett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In a near-future New York where hypoguns and inertia-drive aircraft are everyday tools, Inspector Royall faces a problem no amount of manpower can solve: the repeat violent offender who cycles through the courts until someone gets hurt again. Royall is part of a controversial pilot program that offers an alternative to iron bars - not by locking criminals away, but by reshaping what they fear. Under the guidance of Dr. Brownlee and his team, convicted predators, arsonists, and reckless killers can be diverted from prison into psychiatric therapy that installs powerful, specific inhibitions: a firebug who cannot bear the sight of flame, a brawler who is terrified his fists will shatter, a drunk whose first sip of alcohol becomes unthinkable. When Chief Inspector Acrington, a visiting British aristocrat and senior lawman, comes to investigate the program, Royall must defend its spotless record while a brutal child-murder case and a newly captured offender force the city to confront the hardest questions. Is preventing harm worth tampering with a mind? And when safety depends on conditioning, who decides how much of a person can be taken away in the name of justice?
