Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Historia

After a political gaffe, our hero Stephen Silk is assigned to be the Solar League's new ambassador to the people of Capella IV, New Texas. The position is open because the previous ambassador, Silas Cumshaw, was assassinated. On the starship taking him to his new posting, Silk meets his secretary/bodyguard, a native New Texan named Hoddy Ringo.

Then, overnight, war is everywhere.

One of Heinlein's best-loved works, The Rolling Stones follows the rollicking adventures of the Stone family as they tour the solar system. It doesn't seem likely for twins to have the same middle name. Even so, it's clear that Castor and Pollux Stone both have "Trouble" written in that spot on their birth certificates. Of course, anyone who's met their grandmother Hazel would know they came by it honestly.

A terrorist bomb explodes during a South Korean celebration of the anniversary of the election of its first president. Alarms are raised in Washington. No one is claiming responsibility. The first suspect is North Korea. Could it be making a power play against South Korea and unification? If so, how will the U.S. respond? Paul Hood, Director of the Op-Center, must answer these questions. The Op-Center, a largely autonomous new agency which takes on the government's toughest security problems, is only six months old, and has never been given a foreign crisis until now.

They first appear as a series of dots on astronomical plates, heading from Saturn directly toward Earth. Since the ringed planet carries no life, scientists deduce the mysterious ship to be a visitor from another star. The world's frantic efforts to signal the aliens go unanswered. The first contact is hostile: the invaders blast a Soviet space station, seize the survivors, and then destroy every dam and installation on Earth with a hail of asteriods.

Why did the world's entire history of World War II have to be rewritten as the future hung over a nightmare abyss?

Historia
Untouched by Human Hands consists of 13 stories of beings who dwell on the strange borders of reality. Some of these stories tell of people you know or of events that might happen - but haven't yet. Some will take you to the furthermost reaches of the sky and to planets whose names are unknown this side of Arcturus. And some - perhaps the richest and most memorable of these stories - open into the interior of strange minds to reveal the reflection of ourselves.

Classic Tales of the Multiverse
H. Beam Piper wrote these stories in the late 1940s and they hold up remarkably well. If you are interested in stories concerning parallel universes, you will love these stories. It also serves as a introduction to Piper's Terran-Human Empire series.

Horrible Production Standard
Whoever edited this audiobook needs to consider giving the finished product a proof-listen before shipping it off marked as "done." One of the stories is missing a whole section out of the middle (but don't worry, the missing section shows up at the end of the book). The last story simply stops in the middle of the story.
I do not recommend buying this version, and I intend to try to get my money back.

Technical Difficulties
There seems to be a section of story missing from the middle and appearing at the end instead.
I'm sure Audible will fix it soon, so it shouldn't count against the audio book in general.

This takes me back.
First got involved with H. Beam Piper back in my college days. Little Fuzzy and Four Day Planet started me off. I always found the whole Para-time concept interesting. Got hooked on that with Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen. Surprisingly, it trips you up when you listen to the stuff now in how they viewed how the future would be. You know, like watching an old 60’s vintage Sci Fi movie. You know, the stuff that came out of Italy every other week.
