Three Men and a Maid by P. G. Wodehouse audiobook.

Genre: comedy

This book with two titles, Three Men and a Maid in the USA and The Girl on the Boat in the UK is a typical PG Wodehouse romantic comedy, involving, at various times: a disastrous talent quest, a lawyer with a revolver, a bulldog with a mind of his own and a suit of armour!

The maid, or marriageable young woman, of the American title is red-haired, dog-loving Wilhelmina 'Billie' Bennet. The three men are Bream Mortimer, a long-time friend and admirer of Billie, Eustace Hignett, a poet of sensitive disposition who is engaged to Billie at the opening of the tale, and Sam Marlowe, Eustace's would-be-dashing cousin, who falls for Billie at first sight. All four find themselves on an ocean liner headed for England together (hence the British title), along with an elephant-gun-wielding young woman called Jane Hubbard who is smitten with Eustace the poet. Typically Wodehousian romantic shenanigans ensue. Even Estace's redoubtable mother (a Theosophist author and public speaker) fails to quell the excitement

Mrs Nesta Ford, in her London hotel room, reveals to her new friend Lord Mountry that she hopes to take her son Ogden on a yachting trip proposed by Mountry, despite her ex-husband having won custody of the boy. As Mountry leaves, Cynthia Drassilis arrives with Ogden, whom she has led away from his father's country house. Mrs Ford rewards Cynthia, but soon Mr Ford's secretary, a Mr Minnick, arrives to recover the stolen child. Cynthia tries to bribe his colleague, Mrs Sheridan, but to no avail, as she believes Nesta's influence has spoiled the boy. After they have gone, Nesta reveals to Cynthia Ogden's past as the 'Little Nugget', and the repeated attempts to kidnap him made by US gangsters. Nesta wishes to call in professional help, but Cynthia persuades her she can still do it, with the help of her new fiancé, a wealthy man called Peter Burns, who she suggests can take up a post at Ogden's new school, posing as a trainee schoolmaster.

The Red Hell of Jupiter by Paul Ernst audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Jupiter's Great Red Spot has become a blank spot on humanity's maps for the worst possible reason: ships sent to investigate it do not return. When Commander Stone of the Planetary Exploration Forces recalls decorated Captain Brand Bowen from leave, he gives him a simple order with an impossible price tag: take a fast scout craft down into Jupiter's murderous atmosphere, skim the boundaries of the Red Spot, and come back with an explanation. Bowen departs with Lieutenant Dex Harlow, a capable partner whose sharp tongue and clashing temperament turn the cramped cockpit into its own pressure chamber. But Jupiter has a stronger pull than gravity. As their craft is inexorably drawn toward the red-stained maelstrom, the two men are swept into a nightmare landscape of strange forces, alien architecture, and a city that should not exist inside a gas giant at all. Surrounded by towering, pipe-limbed beings and the ominous mechanisms they serve, Bowen and Harlow must survive long enough to learn what happened to the missing expeditions and decide what risk a single crew can take to keep Earth safe. A taut pulp-era voyage into the unknown, this is classic science fiction built on menace, wonder, and the cost of curiosity.
