Unwise Child by Randall Garrett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In a future New York where street gangs carry vibroblades and advanced electronics are as common as cigarettes, power designer Michael Raphael Gabriel, known on the job as Mike the Angel, expects danger to come with the territory. What he does not expect is to be targeted twice in a single morning, then abruptly reassigned as engineering officer aboard an experimental spacecraft with one secret mission: get an extraordinary machine off Earth before it becomes an existential threat. That machine is Snookums, a super-robot with a childlike personality and a terrifying new talent for invention, and he travels under the anxious supervision of Dr. Fitzhugh, his creator, and Leda Crannon, a child psychologist pressed into the role of nursemaid. Once the ship is underway, a string of frightening incidents turns the voyage into a locked-room puzzle in zero gravity: systems fail, nerves fray, and a crew member is murdered, with suspicion falling where no one wants it to fall. Caught between official duty and personal survival, Mike must untangle sabotage, motive, and machine logic before fear, secrecy, and a brilliant 'child' of metal doom them all.

The Man Who Hated Mars by Randall Garrett audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Ron Clayton has spent fifteen bitter years in exile on Mars - a punishment sold as 'freedom' for criminals Earth no longer wants. Trapped in the thin air, dependent on oxidation pills, and driven half-mad by the planet's relentless cold, Clayton storms into the Terran Rehabilitation Service and begs Lieutenant Phoebe Harris for the one thing he never expected to want: a prison cell back on Earth. She refuses, and Clayton is forced to accept that the system is designed to keep men like him off-world forever. citeturn1view0 When a Space Transport Service ship drops in, opportunity arrives in the form of Herbert 'Parks' Parkinson, a talkative crewman with a nose oxygen rig and a careless streak. One desperate night later, Clayton gambles everything on a stolen uniform, a borrowed identity, and a plan to slip past steel walls, security routines, and suspicious officers. citeturn3view1turn3view2 But survival aboard the ship demands more than hiding his name: Clayton must work, improvise, and keep his fear in check while Mars' harsh rules echo in his muscles and his mind. Tight, tense, and morally thorny, Randall Garrett's classic tale asks what exile does to a man - and whether escape is ever the same as redemption. citeturn0search1

People Minus X by Raymond Z. Gallun audiobook.

Genre: scifi

When young Ed Dukas sits down to write a simple letter, he notices something impossible: faint words forming on the page as if an unseen hand is writing beside him. The incident cracks open a lifetime of buried fear and wonder, all tracing back to his uncle, Dr. Mitchell Prell, the brilliant scientist blamed for an experiment that shattered the Moon and helped trigger catastrophe on Earth. In the aftermath, Prell's most controversial breakthrough spreads through the Solar System: living artificial flesh that can rebuild bodies and, paired with recorded memories and personality patterns, restore the dead as humanlike androids. To some, the restored are humanity's second chance. To others, they are
