Witch of the Demon Seas by Poul William Anderson audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

Condemned pirate captain Corun of Conahur is hours from the headsman's axe when a strange bargain buys him a little more life. The price is a voyage no sane sailor attempts: guiding a black galley into the Demon Seas, toward the lost, dread citadel of the Xanthi - amphibious sea-devils whose raids and ancient ruins haunt every chart. Corun's new masters are as dangerous as any monster: Shorzon, a calculating sorcerer with a plan that reaches beyond kings, and Chryseis, the mercurial witch whose beauty, cruelty, and iron will can command men as surely as chains. With a crew of hard-bitten sea raiders and a kingdom's politics tightening like a noose behind them, Corun is pulled between survival and pride, desire and suspicion, loyalty and revenge. Storm-lashed islands, bloody shipboard clashes, and eerie encounters in alien waters drive the journey forward as Corun begins to grasp what Shorzon and Chryseis truly seek. To reach the Xanthi is one thing; to return with his soul intact is another.

The Sensitive Man by Poul William Anderson audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Poul Anderson delves into the realm of human potential in this exciting story and asks some penetrating questions for us to think about. What if psychology finally enabled people to even partially control all those automatic reactions of our minds and bodies? What if we were not slaves to anger, fear, emotions, hormones, blood pressure and the thousand other things that our bodies 'take care of' from instant to instant? What if those things could be brought under the control even partially of our reason and minds? In this story one man stood between a power-hungry cabal and their world mastery—but a man of, shall we say, unusual talents.

Away in the Wilderness by R. M. Ballantyne audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In 19th-century Canada, famed backwoods hunter and trapper Jasper Derry sets out from the far reaches of Rupert's Land with one urgent goal: reach civilization in time to marry the woman he loves, Marie Laroche, and finally trade a life of wandering for a home. The journey should be straightforward for a man as capable as Jasper, but the wilderness has its own plans. Traveling with two unlikely companions, Arrowhead, a sharp-eyed Indigenous guide, and John Heywood, a young artist whose sketches and curiosity often slow the pace, Jasper must thread his way through swarming insects, dangerous rivers, isolated outposts, and sudden encounters with wild animals, including a terrifying bear. As the three friends push onward, their camaraderie is tested by exhaustion, hard choices, and the long shadow of human conflict on the frontier, including the schemes of Darkeye, a hostile chief who sees opportunity in their passage. Fast-moving, vivid, and moral in spirit, Away in the Wilderness blends survival adventure with humor, friendship, and a hard-earned lesson about pride, mercy, and revenge.
