Venus Enslaved by Manly Wade Wellman audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On the sweltering, perilous world of Venus, an Earthman named Planter finds his sentence turned into something far worse than prison: survival among alien jungles, strange predators, and rival powers that treat human life as a resource to be spent. Thrown together with two fellow convicts, the hard-edged Disbro and the unexpectedly formidable Max, Planter expects only heat, hunger, and a quick death. Instead, a sudden encounter with a deadly tentacled creature ends with an even stranger rescue - by Mara, a warrior of a fierce Amazon sisterhood whose weapons are as archaic as they are lethal. The Amazons have their own war to fight, and they see in Planter both a risk and an opportunity. Looming over everything are the Frogmasters of the Veiled Planet, a domineering force whose reach and cruelty threaten to enslave everyone caught in their shadow. Caught between cultures and armed with little more than nerve, improvisation, and uneasy alliances, Planter must decide what kind of man he will be on a planet where freedom is never given - it is taken.

Mercenary by Mack Reynolds audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In a future America that has traded civic duty for comfort, society is locked into a rigid nine-level caste system - and almost no one ever climbs. Joseph Mauser, born Mid-Lower and determined to become something more, has chosen one of the last remaining ladders: Category Military. But war is no longer a clash of nations. Under a universal disarmament pact that bans modern weaponry, the truly powerful settle their disputes in carefully regulated corporate 'fracas' - limited battlefields fought with old-tech guns, strict rules, and wall-to-wall television coverage. When a new fight brews between rival giants like Vacuum Tube Transport and Continental Hovercraft, Mauser signs on as a professional mercenary, weighing not just tactics and survival, but budgets, reputations, and the stock-share promises that can buy a higher place in the system. As he trains recruits from the lower castes, navigates eccentric aristocratic commanders, and confronts the strange mix of spectacle and real bloodshed, Mauser discovers that in a world of TV and tranquilizers, violence can be both entertainment and policy - and the price of ambition may be higher than any pay bonus.

Warrior of Two Worlds by Manly Wade Wellman audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Snatched from Earth and dropped naked into a roaring dust storm, a bewildered stranger staggers into the underground stronghold of a world called Dondromogon - a planet where only two thin twilight bands are habitable, forever battered by wind between a burning day side and a frozen night side. Captured at the gates, he can offer only one impossible story: he cannot remember his own name. But the defenders see something else in him. Their mystic Sporr insists the newcomer matches an ancient prophecy of Yandro, a Conquering Stranger destined to save their people from the Newcomers, ruthless invaders entrenched on the far side of the planet. Soon the stranger is dressed, honored, and pushed toward command - with Doriza, a bold officer of the guard, as both his escort and his sharpest test of trust. As political leaders like Gederr and the charismatic Elonie shape the legend around him, the stranger must navigate a society built on hard survival choices, a war fought through tunnels and polar chokepoints, and the nagging fear that his missing memories hide the real reason he was brought here. In a world that worships destiny, he must decide what kind of warrior he will become.
