About this audiobook
The Return of Tharn is a science fiction short story written by Howard Browne, and first published in 1948. The story takes place in a future world where humanity has spread throughout the galaxy, colonizing distant planets and developing advanced technologies. The main character, space adventurer Kirby Storm, is hired by a wealthy businessman named John Tharn to retrieve a valuable artifact from a distant planet. Tharn is known for his ruthless business practices and is rumored to have acquired immense wealth through questionable means. Storm is initially hesitant to work for Tharn, but the promise of a large sum of money convinces him to take the job. As Storm and his crew travel to the planet, they encounter several challenges, including hostile alien lifeforms and treacherous terrain. When they finally reach their destination, they discover that the artifact they were sent to retrieve is actually a powerful weapon capable of destroying entire planets. Storm realizes that Tharn intends to use the weapon to assert his dominance over the galaxy, and decides to take a stand against him. In a thrilling conclusion, Storm and his crew engage Tharn and his army in a battle for control of the weapon. In the end, Storm emerges victorious, but not without suffering significant losses. "The Return of Tharn" explores themes of greed, power, and morality in a science fiction setting. Browne's vivid descriptions and fast-paced action make for an exciting and engaging read.
