Project Mastodon by Clifford D. Simak ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

Project Mastodon by Clifford D. Simak audiobook. Genre: scifi When three longtime friends stumble onto a working time-jump device, they do not rush to change history - they go looking for opportunity. Wesley Adams, a visionary deal-maker, John Cooper, his blunt and loyal right hand, and Chuck Hudson, a well-connected former diplomat, leap back tens of thousands of years to a North America that is familiar in outline but ruled by Pleistocene reality: shifting glaciers, altered landscapes, and the looming presence of mastodons and other dangerous wildlife. Their bold plan is not just to explore, but to claim: they plant a flag, set up a rough capital, and announce the birth of a brand-new nation - Mastodonia - in a time before modern borders exist. But building a country is harder than naming one. While two men guard supplies and wrestle with survival in the ancient wilderness, the third returns to the twentieth century to seek recognition, investment, and legitimacy. What follows is a wry, fast-moving clash between big dreams and hard logistics, as ambition, bureaucracy, and the raw facts of deep time threaten to turn a clever scheme into a very expensive mistake.
