The Machine that Saved the World by Murray Leinster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

They were broadcasts from nowhere--sinister emanations flooding in from space--smashing any receiver that picked them up. What defense could Earth devise against science such as this? In the far future of 1972, on a secret military installation, Staff Sergeant Bellews is an expert on the latest scientific discovery: a way for ordinary machines like vacuums and lawnmowers to gather experience in their jobs, becoming error free over time. Then the strange broadcasts began to blow up transmitters everywhere. Were they from space? Enemies? the future? He didn't care until they started messin' with his machines. Then he took it personally.

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?

The Mad Planet by Murray Leinster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

It is 30,000 years following dramatically changed climate conditions on earth which had let massive amounts of carbon dioxide belch from the interior of the planet into the atmosphere. Over the millenia this would have quite devastating effects on life as it had once been known. Much of the human and animal population would not survive the climate change, and indeed those few humans who did survive knew nothing of all which their predecessors had learned and built. Indeed, they knew not even of their existence. On the other hand insects and fungi would flourish over time.

And so those few remaining humans were unknowingly at the very beginning of the building of a tribal society, which at the time of the story of Burl simply meant food and survival. And so it was Burl who chose to travel beyond his small tribal community in an effort to hunt for something new and different to hopefully impress Saya, the young female of his tribe to whom he felt a peculiar attraction. The Mad Planet is Burl's adventure.
