The Man Who Lost Himself by H. De Vere Stacpoole audiobook.

Genre: comedy

When Victor Jones, a hard-luck businessman from Philadelphia, arrives in London chasing a contract that could save his future, he instead finds himself broke, cornered by creditors, and wondering who he has become. One desperate drink at a hotel bar brings an unbelievable encounter: a charismatic English aristocrat, Rochester, who looks exactly like Victor. A night of reckless camaraderie turns into a waking nightmare when Victor finds himself in a grand house, addressed as the Earl of Rochester by servants who will not accept any explanation. Suddenly Victor is living another man's life - complete with money, influence, and a reputation tangled in old scandals, strained relationships, and dangerous expectations. As London society closes in and every word risks exposure, Victor must navigate a world of titles and traps while trying to reclaim his own name and conscience. Part satire of class and manners, part breathless chase, The Man Who Lost Himself follows a decent man pushed into an indecent masquerade, asking how much of identity is choice, and how much is simply the role others insist you play.

Time Crime by H. Beam Piper audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On a quiet plantation in the Esaron Sector, guard-captain Kiro Soran notices something that should be impossible: a shipment of slaves whose language, customs, and origins do not match the world where they are being sold. His discovery pulls back the curtain on the Paratime Secret, and the Paratime Police move in fast, led by hard-edged professionals who can travel between probability lines but must keep their existence hidden from every timeline they touch. Special Assistant Verkan Vall and Police Chief Tortha Karf face a case that is bigger than a single kidnapping: an organized slave ring operating across worlds, a trail that runs through multiple levels of civilization, and enemies willing to use disguise, hypnosis, and assassination to protect the operation. As the investigation widens, Vall must balance procedure with urgency, because every step taken across time risks contaminating entire histories. Part police procedural and part high-concept adventure, Time Crime explores the moral cost of treating whole realities as resources, and the brutal logic of criminals who believe infinity means no one will ever find them.

Ann Veronica by H. G. Wells audiobook.

Genre: drama

Set in Edwardian England, Ann Veronica follows a bright, restless young woman who has been raised to be obedient, sheltered, and grateful, yet feels a mounting hunger for education, independence, and a life shaped by her own convictions. Chafing under the strict authority of her father and the narrow expectations placed on women, Ann pushes beyond the safe boundaries of her comfortable home and into the charged world of London, where new ideas about politics, science, and women's rights collide with old social rules. As she encounters reformers, intellectuals, and would-be guardians, Ann must weigh what freedom truly costs: financial security, family approval, reputation, and even her sense of who she is. Love and desire complicate her resolve, forcing her to question whether intimacy can coexist with self-determination. With sharp social observation and urgent moral energy, H. G. Wells traces Ann's awakening as she tests the limits of convention and searches for a life that feels honest, equal, and fully her own.
