Terror Out of Space by Leigh Douglass Brackett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On a rain-choked, half-mapped Venus, something has come down from the emptiness between worlds and left a trail of madness behind it. Men abandon duty, turn violent, or walk willingly into death, all chasing the same impossible vision. Tri-World Police pilot Lundy and his partner, Smith, manage to capture the source - a small, baffling object the reports call only 'IT' - and begin the dangerous run back to the scientists who might explain it. But the nearer Lundy gets to safety, the more the prisoner seems to reach into human minds, twisting desire into obedience and turning comrades into threats. When disaster hurls Lundy into the black Venusian sea, survival becomes a lonely march across an alien ocean floor of drowned roads, ruined cities, and hungry life-forms that should not exist. Pursued by obsession and surrounded by telepathic whispers, Lundy must pit his will against a presence that has no face, no name, and no mercy - and learn whether any human can fight a terror that wins simply by being seen.

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.

The Dragon Queen of Jupiter by Leigh Douglass Brackett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On the steaming, storm-shrouded fringes of Jupiter, Fort Washington is little more than a rusting island of Earth Empire metal in a sea of poisonous swamp. Corporal Tex and his ragged detachment of Space Foreign Legionnaires are supposed to be the spearhead of expansion, holding the line until a relief column arrives and the planet can be opened for settlement and farmland for overcrowded Earth and Mars. Instead, they are trapped in a slow, merciless siege. The Jovian swamp-dwellers strike from the darkness with grotesque living weapons: venomous green snakes, hideous red beetles, and a creeping parasite that makes even water a danger. As supplies dwindle and nerves fray, Tex leans on the hard-won instincts of his fellow soldiers, including Breska, a tough Martian comrade who knows what it means to be far from home and surrounded. Over it all looms the force behind the attacks, the Dragon-Queen herself, a winged, almost hypnotic commander with white legions at her call. To survive, Tex must face not only an alien enemy, but the brutal costs of conquest and the thin, shifting line between fear and fascination.
