The Golden Slave by Poul William Anderson audiobook.

Genre: scifi

100 B.C. The Cimbrian hordes galloped across the dawn of history and clashed in screaming battle against the mighty Roman legions. Led by their chief, Boierik, and his son, Eodan, the hungry and homeless pagan tribes hurled back the Romans time after time in their desperate search for land. But for all the burning towns, the new-caught women weeping, the wine drunk, the gold lifted, the Cimbri did not find a home. And now it was over. At Vercellae the Roman armies shattered them completely. Only a few survived—and for them death would have been more merciful. Eodan, the proud young chieftain, had been caught and sold into slavery, his infant son murdered and his beautiful wife, Hwicca, taken as a concubine. But whips and slave chains could not break the spirit of this fiery pagan giant who fought, seduced and connived his way to a perilous freedom to rescue the woman he loved

Snowball by Poul William Anderson audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In a quiet Massachusetts college town, physicist Simon Arch and his equally brilliant wife, Elizabeth, are chasing a theoretical hunch about dielectrics when they accidentally create something that should not exist: a cheap, stable material with an astronomical dielectric constant. A block the size of a book can store staggering amounts of energy - and, worse (or better), the recipe is simple enough that anyone with basic chemicals and a kitchen oven can make it. Simon imagines patents, progress, and a cleaner world powered by compact energy storage. Then the idea escapes the lab. A teenage hot-rodder sees an engine-free future. Entrepreneurs smell instant fortunes. Utilities, fuel companies, and politicians realize their control of power itself is slipping away. As homemade capacitite spreads like gossip, the modern economy begins to wobble, and Simon finds himself trapped between personal pride, public need, and the accelerating consequences of an invention that cannot be recalled. Snowball is a sharp, fast-moving classic of social science fiction about technology's unintended ripple effects, and how quickly a miracle can become a crisis when it belongs to everyone.

The Sensitive Man by Poul William Anderson audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Poul Anderson delves into the realm of human potential in this exciting story and asks some penetrating questions for us to think about. What if psychology finally enabled people to even partially control all those automatic reactions of our minds and bodies? What if we were not slaves to anger, fear, emotions, hormones, blood pressure and the thousand other things that our bodies 'take care of' from instant to instant? What if those things could be brought under the control even partially of our reason and minds? In this story one man stood between a power-hungry cabal and their world mastery—but a man of, shall we say, unusual talents.
