Ultima Thule by Mack Reynolds audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Ronny Bronston has spent his whole life dreaming of an off-world posting with United Planets, the sprawling interstellar authority that promises peace, progress, and a place for ambitious young men to prove themselves. When he finally lands a provisional slot in the Bureau of Investigation, Section G, he expects glamorous diplomacy and clear-cut heroics. Instead, he is dropped into a maze of interviews, procedures, and quiet political pressures where every promotion has a price and every official slogan hides an inconvenient reality. His first case is the kind that can make a career or end it: track down Tommy Paine, a long-rumored agitator whose name is linked to uprisings and ideological contagion on world after world. Chasing a man who may be terrorist, prophet, or manufactured myth forces Ronny to confront how empires maintain order, how revolutions spread, and how easily truth can be packaged as policy. As the hunt pulls him farther from the safety of headquarters and deeper into contested cultures at the edge of human space, Ronny must decide what loyalty actually means when the system itself may be the most dangerous mystery of all.

Good Wives by Louisa May Alcott audiobook.

Genre: family

In Good Wives, Louisa May Alcott returns to the March family as the four sisters step beyond girlhood and into the complicated, exhilarating work of becoming adults. Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy each face choices that test their ideals and reshape their bonds: love that asks for sacrifice, ambition that demands courage, and duty that can both steady and constrain. As they navigate new homes, new responsibilities, and the shifting expectations placed on women, the sisters discover that growing up is not a single leap but a series of everyday decisions - some joyful, some painful, all defining. With their mother Marmee as a steady moral compass and their neighbor Laurie never far from their lives, the March sisters learn that family is not only a comfort but also a challenge: a place where dreams collide, tempers flare, and forgiveness must be earned. Tender, witty, and honest about the costs of maturity, Good Wives explores what it means to build a life without losing yourself, and how love in all its forms can change the course of a household forever.

Alonzo Fitz & Other Stories by Mark Twain audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Alonzo Fitz & Other Stories gathers a handful of Mark Twain's sharpest late-career short pieces - brisk, mischievous, and built to be read aloud. Across these compact tales and sketches, Twain turns everyday American confidence into comedy: earnest people chase grand plans, argue over respectable opinions, and stumble into consequences they never imagined. In the title story, a seemingly ordinary situation swells into a comic tangle of assumptions and reactions, showing how quickly pride and certainty can outrun common sense. Elsewhere, Twain plays with exaggeration, improbable coincidences, and mock-serious logic to poke at fashion, public judgment, and the self-important tone of modern progress. Each story is short on patience for pretension and long on wit - the kind that lands as a joke, then lingers as a critique. Whether he is describing a community in uproar or a single character making a spectacularly human mistake, Twain keeps the pace quick, the language clean and punchy, and the target unmistakable: the ways people fool themselves, especially when they are trying hardest to look wise.
