Masters of the vortex by Edward E. Smith
https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/68397

This is almost a Lensman story. It's Neal "Storm" Cloud's adventures going around the Lensman universe blowing out atomic vortexes.

The Gregory circle by Wm. H. Fitzgerald

This is really Murray Leinster writing as William Fitzgerald.

https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/68435

There are three more stories in this same setting that have cleared and are on their way into PG.

Here's one I didn't see mentioned in your thread yet and looks intriguing.

The Conquest of America by Cleveland Moffat
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/8684/8684-h/8684-h.htm

It takes place in the "future" of 1921 where America is being hurled toward a world war with Europe and only Thomas Edison can stop it in time!

I was interested in picking up "Utopia:The History of an Extinct Planet" by Alfred Denton Cridge

It looks manageable for a first solo, so I think it's a good choice. Start with the 1-minute test to check your recording setup, then do a couple of sections in group projects to get some experience in recording and how Librivox works, then you'll feel more confident to start your own solo project.

Thanks, I'll do just that. I'll return once I've done some group work and have submitted my test, thank you for the guidance!

I submitted this one into the latest short science fiction collection yesterday.

I'm also pondering Masters of the Vortex as my first solo. I'll have to ponder whether I'd be biting off too much.

Also, philchenevert created a Solo project for Skylark of Valeron. EE Smith seems to be very popular around here.

More is on the way. I expect to finish up the lensmen stories.
