Shannach - The Last by Leigh Douglass Brackett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On the Twilight Belt of Mercury, hard-bitten prospector Trevor has one obsession: sun-stones, the rare crystals that can buy a lifetime of freedom. When an earthquake buries his ship and leaves him to die in suffocating darkness, he gambles on the planet's ancient tunnels - and is swept into a hidden valley where water runs clean, crops grow green, and a stone city rises from the mist. But this pocket of paradise is ruled by terror. Winged lizard-things circle like trained hawks, hunters ride out at a booming signal, and men with sun-stones set into their foreheads serve a brutal order. Trevor's first act of mercy - stepping between a hunted girl and her pursuers - marks him as an enemy, a prize, and possibly a tool. As he learns what the sun-stones can do, and who (or what) listens through them, Trevor is pulled into a conflict that is bigger than profit and more dangerous than any cave-in: the struggle to break a silent, ancient tyranny without becoming its next mask. In Leigh Brackett's shadowy planetary romance, survival is only the beginning - the real fight is for the right to think and choose.

Black Amazon of Mars by Leigh Brackett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Carrying out the last wishes of a comrade, mercenary Eric John Stark takes on the task of returning a stolen talisman to a walled city near the Martian pole; a city that guards the mysterious Gates of Death. Now all he has to do is get past the brutal clans of Mekh and the shadowy Lord Ciaran to get to Kushat where they’ll probably attempt to kill him. All while he tries to hold on to a talisman that imprints ancient memories of the Gates in his mind. That’s not easy for a human raised by Mercurian aborigines. - Black Amazon of Mars is the third story to feature Brackett’s hero Eric John Stark, and was later expanded into the novel People of the Talisman. It was first published in Planet Stories magazine in March of 1951.

Enchantress Of Venus by Leigh Douglass Brackett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On the steaming, mist-shrouded world of Venus, hard-bitten adventurer Eric John Stark follows a single lead into the Inner Sea: the trail of his missing friend, Helvi. His search brings him to Shuruun, a remote port town perched above a blood-red, breathable ocean of swirling gas, where superstition clings to the streets and strangers vanish behind locked doors. Betrayed on arrival by the freighter captain Malthor and marked as an outsider the moment he staggers ashore, Stark is swept into a brutal economy of chains and silence. Beneath Shuruun rule the Lhari, pale, decadent masters who call themselves the Cloud People and work their captives in the depths of the Red Sea, digging at the ruins of an ancient temple for a power they barely understand. With the help of Zareth, Malthor's fearful daughter, and the dangerous, enigmatic Varra of the Lhari, Stark must navigate shifting loyalties, forgotten gods, and the thin line between rescue and revolution. As the Lost Ones whisper in the fog and the rulers' obsession turns darker, Stark faces a choice: survive as a lone wolf, or gamble everything on freeing the enslaved and stopping whatever stirs below the crimson tides.
