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.

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.

The Absentee by Maria Edgeworth audiobook.

Genre: drama

Published in 1812, “The Absentee” by Maria Edgeworth examines social injustice in 19th-century Britain. At that time, the management of many Irish estates suffered from the absenteeism of their Anglo-Irish landlords.

We meet Lord and Lady Clonbrony. Lord Clonbrony struggles with debt, while Lady Clonbrony tries to shed her Irish connections and earn status in London’s high society (known as “the ton.”) Meanwhile, their son, Lord Colambre, is wary of the entanglements of that society and escapes to the family estate in Ireland, where he discovers the abuses that have arisen in the family’s absence.

Maria Edgeworth was a pioneer of realism in fiction, and one of the most successful and popular novelists of her time. She offered satirical portraits of society manners and sympathetic treatment of regional life. Her work won admiration from authors such as Jane Austen and Sir Walter Scott. “The Absentee” is named in the reference list “1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.”
