LibriVox recording of The Black Star Passes by John Wood Campbell Jr. Read by KirksVoice.
A sky pirate armed with superior weapons of his own invention... First contact with an alien race dangerous enough to threaten the safety of two planets... The arrival of an unseen dark sun whose attendant marauders aimed at the very end of civilization in this Solar System. These were the three challenges that tested the skill and minds of the brilliant team of scientist-astronauts Arcot, Wade, and Morey. Their initial adventures are a classic of science-fiction which first brought the name of their author, John W. Campbell, into prominence as a master of the inventive imagination. (Summary from book)

Earth has finally begun exploring beyond to other planets. In doing so, a Venusian race is saved from attack. They make friends with Venus only to discover that a more deadly race of aliens is coming to attack Earth. The target? The sun, which the alien race no longer has. Can Earth muster enough forces to defeat the invaders?
There are many subplots in this story, and a lot of science is included in the different chapters. It is not your typical story, but reads like a cross between a sci-fi, a science book, and a historical novel.
The reader is excellent, and I hope he continues to read for LV, he has a great voice and cadence.
