The Aliens by Murray Leinster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

The human race was expanding through the galaxy ... and so, they knew, were the Aliens. Who were these beings? Traces of them could be found scattered on planets everywhere, some very recent, but the aliens themselves were never encountered. They were obviously just as advanced technologically as humans and obviously looking for planets to expand to, just like humans. But what would happen when the two races, human and alien met? From history it was obvious that a war should be planned for, two expanding empires cannot tolerate rivals and they would clash and it could happen at any time. Would it be a war to the death? Sadly, that was the most probable outcome. Hundreds of human ships were designed specifically to frantically comb the known universe to gather information about them to prepare for war. Which was inevitable of course.

Tanks by Murray Leinster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Tanks and the future of war is what Murray Leinster speculates about in this story. Written in the 1920's he observed the terrible new inventions that were used in World War I to kill people, armored tanks and poisoned gas and then tells us how war will be fought in the future. In this case the war will occur in 1932 and be between the US and the 'Yellow enemy'. It was published in the very first issue of Astounding Stories of Super Science, January 1930. It is science fiction in the sense that it guesses what the future will hold for man based on developing the technology that was coming into being at the time, the 1920's. He leads off with a 'quote' from a future historian '

... The deciding battle of the War of 1932 was the first in which the use of infantry was practically discontinued ... —History of the U.S., 1920-1945

The Ambulance Made Two Trips by Murray Leinster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In a town where racketeer Big Jake Connors seems untouchable, Detective Sergeant Fitzgerald has learned to live with frustration. Witnesses clam up, judges get leaned on, and every honest cop knows the score: Connors takes over businesses by intimidation and bribery, and the law arrives just in time to pick up the pieces. Then something changes. After a small dry-cleaning shop refuses Connors' so-called protection, the usual pattern of threats and violence starts to misfire. Guns go off at the wrong moment, cars crash in unlikely ways, and would-be enforcers end up injured by accidents that feel less like chance and more like sabotage by the universe itself. Fitzgerald follows the trail to Brink, the calm new man behind the cleaners, who hints at a secret advantage: a strange psi device that can tilt probability and turn deliberate harm into humiliating mishaps. As Fitzgerald weighs duty against disbelief, he must decide whether to fight corruption with ordinary procedure or with an edge that no court would ever understand.
