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.

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 Forgotten Planet by Murray Leinster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Long ago, human seed-ships arrived at a barren world to begin a slow, deliberate experiment: first microbes, then plants and insects, and later, a final shipment of animals to complete a living ecosystem. But the last mission never came, and in the silence of millennia the planet's unchecked life runs wild, with fungi spreading like forests and insects swelling into monstrous proportions. When a space liner is wrecked on this half-made world, its survivors fight to endure amid wolf-sized ants, towering webs, and stinging things that rule the air. Generations later, the descendants of those castaways have fallen into a harsh, primitive existence where every day is a contest against hunger, predators, and the poisonous mysteries of the land itself. Burl, a young hunter with an unusual spark of curiosity, begins to notice patterns others ignore and dares to imagine that survival might mean more than hiding and running. As he struggles to lead his small tribe through shifting dangers and ancient leftovers from a lost past, the planet's original purpose and humanity's forgotten connection to it start to surface, raising one urgent question: can people reclaim their future on a world that seems designed to kill them?
