The Judas Valley by Robert Silverberg audiobook.

Genre: scifi

A scout ship returns from the far system of Fomalhaut with a story no one wants to believe: on a quiet, breathable world, eight men stepped out into a sunlit valley and simply died. Now the Interstellar Exploration Service has a second reason to go back. Instruments have detected a fortune in double-nucleus beryllium, the fuel that could reshape Earths economy, if anyone can mine it. Captain Peter Wayne, a meticulous survey officer and trained climber, is assigned to the heavy cruiser Lord Nelson to investigate the valley, recover the truth, and keep his crew alive. At his side is Lieutenant Sherri James, sharp, disciplined, and more personally entwined with Wayne than regulations would prefer. Guided by the lone survivor of the first expedition, the team lands under strict quarantine rules, only to find that caution is not enough. As the planet closes in with subtle dangers and mounting tension, Wayne and Sherri must solve a lethal mystery where the landscape itself seems to betray them and where fear, greed, and suspicion can be as deadly as anything alien.

The Happy Unfortunate And The Hunted Heroes by Robert Silverberg audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In this two-story collection of early Robert Silverberg science fiction, humanity's future splits along harsh new lines. In The Happy Unfortunate, Rolf Dekker returns to Earth after years among the stars and discovers a planet that no longer feels like home. The space program has reshaped people as much as it has reshaped society: the big-boned, acceleration-hardened Spacers stand apart from Earthbound citizens who pursue fashionable ideals through radical cosmetic change. Caught between pride and longing, Rolf tries to bridge the widening gap, risking body and identity in a world obsessed with appearances and belonging. In The Hunted Heroes, a different kind of frontier demands a different kind of courage. Ron and Valerie, part of a desperate expedition searching Mars for uranium to keep a wounded Earth alive, push into a landscape that is empty, unforgiving, and deadly. But the worst danger is not the planet itself. As their mission turns into a relentless chase, the couple must decide what heroism really costs when survival, love, and duty collide.

The Return of the Soul by Robert Smythe Hichens audiobook.

Genre: horror

In The Return of the Soul, Robert Smythe Hichens spins a gothic psychological tale in which a long-buried act of cruelty refuses to stay in the past. Ronald, now a grown man with wealth, education, and a carefully built sense of control, cannot forget a boyhood incident at his grandmother's house, when spite and boredom led him to kill her beloved Persian cat. Years later, Ronald marries Margot, a woman of striking beauty and intelligence, and for a time their life together seems to soften his harsher instincts. But after they return to his family home on the northern coast, small disturbances begin to gather: Margot develops peculiar aversions, sudden fascinations, and an uncanny, feline edge to her manner that Ronald cannot explain away. When a scholarly acquaintance speaks confidently about reincarnation and the migration of souls, Ronald's private guilt turns into a terrifying suspicion: what if the cat has come back, not as a ghost in the corridor, but as a presence inside the person he loves most? As Ronald watches Margot change and his own fear deepen, the novel becomes a chilling study of conscience, obsession, and the unstable boundary between human reason and primal instinct.
