Forgotten World by Edmond Hamilton audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In a far-future galaxy where humanity has scattered among the stars, Earth has become a tired, ridiculed backwater - the mother planet remembered more as an embarrassment than a home. Carlin, a brilliant cosmic engineer pushed to the edge by years of deep-space work, is ordered to take an open-ended rest cure on Terra. Expecting dullness and decay, he instead finds a stubborn, quietly beautiful world and a struggling community that survives on ingenuity, hope, and scarce resources. Taken in by a plainspoken family in upstate New York, Carlin discovers a secret project hidden behind ordinary walls: an advanced atomic-engineering setup built for a desperate gamble. The planet needs copper and power to escape its slow decline, but the only rich source left may lie in the most forbidden place imaginable - the Sun itself. As officials tighten their grip and fear of catastrophe grows, Carlin is pulled between duty to the wider worlds and loyalty to the people who have shown him what Earth still means. Forgotten World blends pulp-era suspense with a surprisingly tender meditation on belonging, risk, and renewal.
