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.

Temple Trouble by H. Beam Piper audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On a parallel Earth stuck in a Bronze-to-early-medieval age, the Transtemporal Mining Corporation is quietly extracting valuable ores from behind the safest disguise imaginable: religion. Their outpost is the Temple of Yat-Zar, complete with priests, rituals, and a fearsome six-armed idol - all designed to keep local eyes away from the true miracle hidden inside the sanctuary: a paratime conveyor that can jump between probability lines. Resident agent Stranor Sleth has learned to play theologian, diplomat, and company man at once, but his careful balance begins to crack when a local ruler flirts with a rival cult and the priests of a crocodile god, Muz-Azin, start turning popular anger into political power. When sacred animals begin dying and holy authority shifts overnight, the corporation's cover story risks collapsing - and if this timeline learns the truth about paratime travel, the consequences could ripple across countless worlds. Enter Verkan Vall of the Paratime Police, a hard-nosed troubleshooter tasked with protecting the Paratime Secret, even if it means engineering a few miracles of his own.

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.
