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.

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 Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton audiobook.

Genre: drama

In an era before the advent of electric lights, telephones or motor vehicles, there exists a small cluster of aristocratic 'old revolutionary stock' families that rule New York's social life. Under the rules of this society, 'being things' is better than 'doing things' and reputation and outward appearances come at the exclusion of everything else. In this Gilded Age, when America’s expansion and increased industrialism produce a group of newly wealthy robber barons and financiers, the patient, time-honored values of the old ruling class, and century, are giving way to the expediencies of the new. Caught at this cusp, a triangle of lovers, who must choose between the expectations of family and society, and the deepest yearnings of the heart.

Newly engaged couple, Newland Archer, a young lawyer, and May Welland, a society debutante, are part of the old world, where the 'right people' follow the 'correct rules' and marry into 'acceptable families.' The arrival from Europe of May’s cousin, the Countess Ellen Olenska, complicates their union, as Ellen’s mysterious past threatens to cast a shadow of scandal over the newly betrothed couple. Newland Archer, at first critical of Ellen's bohemian lifestyle, and her seemingly wilful ignorance of the rules and customs of his Old New York, is soon captivated by Ellen's warmth, spirit, and her generous and loving heart. Will he cast off the life for which he's been groomed, or sacrifice happiness for duty and the greater good of the social order?
