The Skylark of Space by E. E. Smith audiobook.

Genre: scifi

The novel begins with the accidental discovery, in a Government laboratory in Washington D. C., of a form of clean nuclear power. Our hero, Dr. Richard Seaton, uses this power to build first a flying belt and then an interstellar spaceship. He later discovers that the process operates by generation and manipulation of gravity fields.

When his government coworkers do not believe him, Seaton acquires rights to his discovery from the government and commercializes it with the aid of his friend, millionaire inventor Martin Crane. A former colleague, Dr. Marc DuQuesne, joins with the unscrupulous World Steel Corporation to try to steal Seaton's invention. The resulting conflict escalates, as Seaton and Duquesne develop greater and greater technical capabilities and enlist more and more powerful alien races as allies..

The Galaxy Primes by E. E. Smith audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Earth's first instant-travel starship, the Pleiades, is a triumph of engineering and a terrifying gamble: it can wink out to anywhere in the universe, but no one can predict where it will reappear or how to retrace the jump. Aboard are four extraordinary humans - two men and two women - each a Psionic Prime with mind-powers beyond anything Earth has ever seen. When the Pleiades is hurled billions of parsecs from home, their brilliance becomes the only lifeline between survival and oblivion. As they probe alien physics, map unimaginable distances, and test the limits of telepathy and mental combat, the crew must also confront one another: clashing egos, raw attraction, simmering resentment, and the dangerous question of who should lead when every decision could strand them forever. Their search for a route back to Earth becomes a sweeping odyssey through strange regions of space, where unfamiliar intelligences and hostile environments demand equal measures of courage, discipline, and ingenuity. Propulsive and larger-than-life, The Galaxy Primes blends classic pulp adventure with high-concept speculation about power, control, and what it costs to remain human at the edge of the cosmos.

The Vortex Blaster by E. E. Smith audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In E. E. 'Doc' Smith's classic space opera, brilliant nuclear engineer Neal 'Storm' Cloud lives in the shadow of failure: he flunked the Lensman exam, missing his chance to join Civilization's most celebrated defenders. But when lethal, self-sustaining atomic vortices begin to appear - churning knots of star-like energy that grow as they consume anything they touch - Cloud's rare gift for lightning-fast calculation becomes humanity's best hope. After a personal catastrophe turns research into obsession, he devises a way to strike a vortex at the exact instant and location needed to snuff it out rather than shatter it into even deadlier fragments. Suddenly Cloud is the one specialist the Galactic Patrol cannot replace, dispatched from world to world in a small ship, extinguishing cosmic firestorms while navigating smugglers, gangsters, and volatile planetary politics. As the Patrol pushes him to scale his work and uncover the true nature of the vortices, Cloud is drawn into an intense collaboration with computer expert Joan Janowick, where science, risk, and rebuilding a shattered life collide. Fast, inventive, and emotionally charged, The Vortex Blaster pits raw intellect and courage against disasters no weapon can simply shoot down.
