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.

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.

The Deadly Dust by Murray Leinster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Geiger counters across the United States begin to spike, and a fine, drifting fall of dust turns out to be something far worse than dirt on the wind: invisible, spreading radioactivity. Dr. David Murfree, a quiet government scientist who recognizes the pattern too quickly for anyone's comfort, tries to sound the alarm - only to find that procedure, permissions, and office politics move slower than a contaminated weather front. Desperate, Murfree sets out to find the one person rumored to think faster than the system: Bug Gregory, a backwoods, self-taught genius with an uncanny knack for practical atomic know-how. As the lethal dust advances, the two follow clues that lead from official laboratories and skeptical superiors to unsettling reports from the open ocean, where a seemingly ordinary fishing boat tows a lead-sheathed mystery and leaves a trail of dead fish behind it. With time running out and proof hard to pin down, Murfree and Gregory must unravel what is creating the deadly fallout - and figure out how to stop it before a continent pays the price.
