The Seven Temporary Moons by Murray Leinster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

When seven strange objects take up station around Earth like brand-new moons, panic spreads fast: are they a freak of astronomy, or an enemy's first move? Dr. Murfree, a practical scientist with too many urgent problems and too little time, turns to the one person who keeps producing impossible answers - Bud Gregory, a backwoods tinkerer whose homespun manner hides a terrifying intuition for high technology. Bud has already shocked the respectable world with inventions that can do the unthinkable: pull specific materials from a distance, turn raw physics into profitable industry, and even stop incoming fire in its tracks. Now, with the so-called temporary moons looming overhead and world authorities demanding certainty, Bud and Murfree must figure out what the objects really are, what they are designed to do, and how to keep Earth from being bullied - or blasted - into submission. Fast, funny, and packed with pulp-era ingenuity, The Seven Temporary Moons is a high-stakes science-fiction adventure about unconventional genius, scientific improvisation, and the thin line between a bright idea and a world-changing weapon.
