Ten From Infinity by Paul W. Fairman audiobook.

Genre: scifi

It began when a pedestrian got hit by a cab in New York City. No doubt it was the only motor mishap in the history of creation that reached out among the stars—for far out in space a signal was registered: Something has gone wrong....

And something had gone wrong, for the doctors discovered their accident patient had two hearts. It was the beginning of the discovery that the Earth had been invaded by 10 such creatures from Outer Space.

Every effort was made to learn their purpose. An orbital flight was launched to spot alien bodies—only to be destroyed in space. One of the alien men was captured—but no threat of pain or death could unlock the secret in his brain.

Something had gone wrong. And somehow, some way had to be found to make it right—before the threat of danger overwhelmed all mankind.

Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death by Patrick Henry audiobook.

Genre: speeches

Set on the eve of the American Revolution, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death captures Patrick Henry's electrifying address to the Second Virginia Convention in March 1775, when the colonies were still divided over whether reconciliation with Britain remained possible. As delegates weigh petitions, boycotts, and patience against the rising pressure of royal power, Henry steps forward with a fierce, urgent argument: the time for hoping and waiting has passed, and Virginia must prepare to defend its rights. Moving from measured analysis to blazing conviction, he challenges his listeners to confront hard realities about freedom, security, and the cost of resistance. More than a political appeal, the speech is a masterclass in persuasion, blending moral clarity, vivid imagery, and relentless logic to rally a hesitant audience toward action. Ideal for listeners interested in the founding era and the power of oratory, this short but monumental work explores the themes of liberty versus tyranny, courage under uncertainty, and the moment when private doubt becomes public resolve.

Phaedo by Plato audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

Plato's Phaedo is one of the great dialogues of his middle period, along with the Republic and the Symposium. The Phaedo, which depicts the death of Socrates, is also Plato's seventh and last dialogue to detail the philosopher's final days (the first six being Theaetetus, Euthyphro, Sophist, Statesman, Apology, and Crito).

In the dialogue, Socrates discusses the nature of the afterlife on his last day before being executed by drinking hemlock. Socrates has been imprisoned and sentenced to death by an Athenian jury for not believing in the gods of the state and for corrupting the youth of the city. The dialogue is told from the perspective of one of Socrates' students, Phaedo of Elis. Having been present at Socrates' death bed, Phaedo relates the dialogue from that day to Echecrates, a fellow philosopher. By engaging in dialectic with a group of Socrates' friends, including the Thebans Cebes and Simmias, Socrates explores various arguments for the soul's immortality in order to show that there is an afterlife in which the soul will dwell following death. Phaedo tells the story that following the discussion, he and the others were there to witness the death of Socrates.
