The Cosmic Computer by H. Beam PIPER 🎧📖 Audiobook

During the System States' War, Poictesme was the general HQ and supply depot for the final thrust at the enemy. When the war ended, the buildings, the munitions, the freeze-dried food supplies, were all abandoned without a thought. Now the colony world is a poverty-stricken agricultural society with only two exports: the fermented products of their world's unique grapes, and the salvaged war equipment, now selling at about 1% of its true value.

And, persisting over the decades, is the legend of MERLIN, the super-computer said to have planned the grand strategy which successfully concluded the war. "If we could only find Merlin," the inhabitants said to each other, "all our problems would be solved."
Then young Conn Maxwell returned from Earth, with a university degree, and a few clues about the location and the true nature of Merlin. And the sure knowledge that finding the Cosmic Computer would be the worst thing that could possibly happen to his home world..........................................................................................................................................................You all know I don’t start my day without two things: standing for what I believe in… and a strong cup of coffee that does the same.

That’s why I drink Blackout Coffee, a 100% American company that’s unapologetically patriotic, pro-2A, and anti-woke. They don’t just roast incredible coffee, they stand for the very values this country was built on: God, family, and freedom.

Every bag is roasted right here in Florida and shipped straight to your door, no corporate garbage, no virtue signaling. Just real coffee, for real Americans.

If you’re like me and need to hit the ground running, try their Morning Reaper medium roast, it’s bold, smooth, and kicks like a mule.

Or if you’re into something darker, like, Founding Fathers dark, grab their 1776 blend. It’s rich, fearless, and roasted to perfection.
