Gambler’s World & The Yillian Way by Keith Laumer ~ Full Audiobook [scifi] Feb 07, 2023

Gambler’s World & The Yillian Way by Keith Laumer audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In Gamblers World & The Yillian Way, Keith Laumer drops you into the sly, hard-hitting universe of Jame Retief, a working diplomat for Terra's sprawling Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne who has little patience for ceremony when lives are on the line. In Gambler's World, Retief arrives on Petreac alongside puffed-up superiors and fragile treaty obligations, only to find a society where status, power, and even politics are settled like wagers. As unrest builds and rival factions circle, Retief must read the room faster than any professional cardsharp, spotting who is bluffing, who is cornered, and who is ready to turn a diplomatic reception into a massacre. In The Yillian Way, a mission to the Yills becomes a minefield of protocol: every greeting, gift, and meal is a test, and every mistake could be fatal. While the official delegation clings to rules and titles, Retief relies on nerve, humor, and a keen understanding of how insults function in alien culture. Part political farce, part adventure, these two tales skewer bureaucracy while celebrating competence under pressure.

Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich ~ Full Audiobook [religion] Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich audiobook.

Genre: religion

Julian of Norwich (c. November 8, 1342 – c. 1416) is considered to be one of the greatest English mystics. Little is known of her life aside from her writings. Even her name is uncertain, the name 'Julian' coming from the Church of St Julian in Norwich, where she occupied a cell adjoining the church as an anchoress. At the age of thirty, suffering from a severe illness and believing she was on her deathbed, Julian had a series of intense visions. (They ended by the time she overcame her illness on May 13, 1373.) These visions would twenty years later be the source of her major work, called Sixteen Revelations of Divine Love (circa 1393). This is believed to be the first book written by a woman in the English language. Julian became well known throughout England as a spiritual authority.

An Antarctic Mystery by Jules Verne ~ Full Audiobook [adventure] Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

An Antarctic Mystery by Jules Verne audiobook.

Genre: adventure

When a battered bottle and a scrap of writing surface off the stormy seas of the Southern Ocean, the message hints at a vanished expedition and a man still alive beyond the limits of the known world. Determined to learn the truth, a small band of sailors and explorers sets out aboard a capable vessel, pushing south into freezing fogs, crushing pack ice, and waters where charts are guesswork and every day tests seamanship and nerve. As the crew threads through treacherous channels and endures months of cold, hunger, and isolation, they must also contend with clashing temperaments and the haunting uncertainty of what they will find at the edge of the continent. Jules Verne blends meticulous nautical detail with escalating suspense as the voyage becomes both a rescue mission and a confrontation with nature at its most indifferent. Part polar quest, part scientific romance, An Antarctic Mystery follows the cost of obsession, the pull of duty, and the human need to explain the unexplained, as the expedition closes in on a secret hidden among the ice.

Trees and Other Poems by Joyce Kilmer ~ Full Audiobook [poetry] Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

Trees and Other Poems by Joyce Kilmer audiobook.

Genre: poetry

'I think that I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tree; A tree whose hungry mouth is presd against the sweet earth's flowing breast ...'.

Almost all of us, including myself of course, have heard and enjoyed those famous words which begin Kilmer's poem, Trees. There is even a National Forest in the United States named in honor of this poem. Here is a recording of the entire book of poems in which it was first published in 1914. Joyce Kilmer was an American writer and poet mainly remembered for this short poem but he was a prolific poet whose works celebrated the common beauty of the natural world as well as his Roman Catholic religious faith, Kilmer was also a journalist, literary critic, lecturer, and editor. While most of his works are largely unknown, a select few of his poems remain popular and are published frequently in anthologies.

At the time of his deployment to Europe during World War I (1914–1918), Kilmer was considered the leading American Roman Catholic poet and lecturer of his generation, whom critics often compared to British contemporaries G. K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc . He enlisted in the New York National Guard and was deployed to France with the 69th Infantry Regiment (the famous 'Fighting 69th') in 1917. He was killed by a sniper's bullet at the Second Battle of the Marne in 1918 at the age of 31. He was married to Aline Murray, who later became a poet and author in her own right, with whom he had five children.

The Black Star by Johnston McCulley ~ Full Audiobook [mystery] Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

The Black Star by Johnston McCulley audiobook.

Genre: mystery

The Black Star was a master criminal who took great care to never be identifiable, always wore a mask so nobody knew what he looked like, rarely spoke to keep his voice from being recognized, and the only mark left at the scenes of the crimes which he and his gang committed were small black stars which were tacked as a sign of their presence, and an occasional sarcastic note to signify his presence and responsibility. Even those who worked for him knew nothing of him, all of which were making his crimes virtually unsolvable. The police were at a complete loss as to his identity and at a method of stopping his criminal activities. He seemed to have the perfect strategic setup and all advantages were in his favor. He even somehow knew where the wealthy kept their jewels and money, and knew when they would remove valuable items from their safes and deposit boxes. Thus Roger Verbeck decided to take on the case of the Black Star using his own methodology. The Black Star will keep you guessing from beginning to end, just as he kept the police and Verbeck guessing.

Johnston McCulley was a prolific writer in the pulp fiction vein, and his Zorro series would become immensely popular. However, prior to Zorro, the Black Star was among his first repeating characters which kept readers of the day in continual suspense until his next appearance. McCulley also wrote mysteries and detective stories using various pseudonyms, including Harrison Strong.

The Ultimate Weapon by John W. Campbell ~ Full Audiobook [scifi] Feb 03, 2023

The Ultimate Weapon by John W. Campbell audiobook.

Genre: scifi

The star Mira was unpredictably variable. Sometimes it was blazing, brilliant and hot. Other times it was oddly dim, cool, shedding little warmth on its many planets. Gresth Gkae, leader of the Mirans, was seeking a better star, one to which his 'people' could migrate. That star had to be steady, reliable, with a good planetary system. And in his astronomical searching, he found Sol.

With hundreds of ships, each larger than whole Terrestrial spaceports, and traveling faster than the speed of light, the Mirans set out to move in to Solar regions and take over.

And on Earth there was nothing which would be capable of beating off this incredible armada—until Buck Kendall stumbled upon THE ULTIMATE WEAPON.
