The Efficiency Expert by Edgar Rice Burroughs audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Fresh out of college, Jimmy Torrance has the confidence of a campus champion and none of the patience to live on his father's money. He heads for 1920s Chicago determined to earn a respectable place in the world, only to discover that charm and athletic glory do not translate into a paycheck. Hungry, broke, and humiliated by one job hunt after another, Jimmy falls in with the city's rougher company, including a shrewd pickpocket called The Lizard and Edith, a streetwise young woman known as Little Eva, whose unexpected loyalty keeps him from going under. When Jimmy meets the poised Elizabeth Compton, he glimpses the society life he wants, but he is still stuck hustling for work wherever he can get it. Then an unlikely opportunity appears: Elizabeth's father needs an 'efficiency expert' to rescue his troubled factory, and Jimmy lands the position on a wing and a prayer. As he starts untangling waste, sabotage, and missing money, Jimmy collides with powerful enemies, social prejudice, and a crime that threatens to destroy his future. To survive, he will need real competence, and friends he never expected to trust.

The Chessmen of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On the dying world of Barsoom, where ancient cities cling to fading seas and honor is measured in swordplay, John Carter returns to Mars for another perilous journey. When a strange plea draws him into the icy north, he is pulled into the brutal politics of competing peoples and the shadowy power of the black pirates who raid the waterways and trade in captives. Alongside the fierce and loyal Martians who call him friend, Carter must navigate treacherous alliances, outwit ruthless enemies, and survive a landscape where the cold can kill as surely as a blade. At the heart of the adventure lies a disturbing mystery - a vanished prisoner and a chain of events that suggests a threat reaching beyond any single tribe or city-state. As loyalties are tested and battles ignite across air and sea, Carter fights not only for survival, but for the dignity and freedom of those caught in Barsoom's endless wars. Packed with daring rescues, high-stakes duels, and the headlong momentum that defines Burroughs's Mars romances, this tale blends swashbuckling action with a pulpy sense of wonder and an unshakable belief in courage under fire.

The Monster Men by Edgar Rice Burroughs audiobook.

Genre: adventure

On a remote island in the East Indies, brilliant but obsessive scientist Professor Maxon pursues a forbidden experiment: manufacturing life in a secret laboratory far from any law but his own. When shipwreck survivor Virginia Maxon - his sheltered, determined daughter - crosses paths with the outsider who could expose everything, the island's uneasy balance begins to crack. The true wild cards, however, are Maxon's creations: a series of imperfect, increasingly human 'Monster Men' grown for strength and obedience, then loosed into the jungle where instinct, loyalty, and rage collide. As fear spreads from the laboratory to the coastal village and beyond, Virginia must decide what she owes to her father, to the innocent people threatened by his ambition, and to the beings who were never asked to be born. Part adventure tale and part moral fable, The Monster Men pits scientific hubris against conscience and survival, building toward a tense struggle for freedom, identity, and control in a place where civilization is only a thin veneer.
