Triplanetary - First in the Lensman series by E. E. Smith audiobook.
Genre: scifi
Triplanetary was first serialized in Amazing Stories in 1934. After the Lensman series became popular, Smith took his Triplanetary story and turned it into the first of the Lensman series, using it as a prequel to give the back story for the protaganists in the Lensmen series. He added 6 new chapters, doubling it in size and it's really a different book from the serialized novel, being published 14 years after the first. It was put into Gutenberg just last year.
The novel covers several episodes in an eons-long eugenics project of the super-intelligences of the Arisia. This alien race is breeding two genetic lines to become the ultimate weapon in Arisia's cosmic war with their arch enemy, the Eddore. The initial chapters cover the Kinnison genetic line during the fall of Atlantis and Nero's (Gharlane of Eddore) reign in Rome. These tales were inserted into the novel following the serialized release, along with chapters covering members of the Kinnison line in World Wars One, Two and Three. The final chapter of Triplanetary tells of the discovery of the inertialess drive that allows faster than light travel. Patrolman Conway Costigan and his friends engage in a space battle with Gray Roger the pirate gangster. This conflict is complicated by the arrival of the technologically superior, extra-Solar, amphibian-like Nevians, resulting in the first interstellar war involving humans. In this story Virgil Samms and Roderick Kinnison, two very important members of the eugenics project, are introduced. They will play the leading roles in the next story, First Lensman.

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.

Howards End by E. M. Forster audiobook.
Genre: drama
In Edwardian England, a chance meeting at a concert draws together two very different families: the idealistic, intellectually restless Schlegel sisters and the wealthy, practical Wilcox clan. When Helen Schlegel strikes up a friendship with the Wilcoxes, misunderstandings quickly spiral into a tangle of letters, visits, and bruised pride. Her sister Margaret tries to make sense of the Wilcoxes' confident certainties while holding fast to her own belief in conversation, culture, and human connection. At the center of their shifting alliances stands Howards End, a country house that becomes far more than a piece of property: it is a symbol of memory, inheritance, and what it means to belong. As class pressures tighten and private choices collide with public expectations, the Schlegels must decide how much compromise their ideals can bear. With wit and quiet intensity, E. M. Forster explores the fault lines of money and morality, the costs of social respectability, and the longing to live by the creed that matters most: only connect.
