Temple Trouble by H. Beam Piper ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

Temple Trouble by H. Beam Piper audiobook. Genre: scifi On a parallel Earth stuck in a Bronze-to-early-medieval age, the Transtemporal Mining Corporation is quietly extracting valuable ores from behind the safest disguise imaginable: religion. Their outpost is the Temple of Yat-Zar, complete with priests, rituals, and a fearsome six-armed idol - all designed to keep local eyes away from the true miracle hidden inside the sanctuary: a paratime conveyor that can jump between probability lines. Resident agent Stranor Sleth has learned to play theologian, diplomat, and company man at once, but his careful balance begins to crack when a local ruler flirts with a rival cult and the priests of a crocodile god, Muz-Azin, start turning popular anger into political power. When sacred animals begin dying and holy authority shifts overnight, the corporation's cover story risks collapsing - and if this timeline learns the truth about paratime travel, the consequences could ripple across countless worlds. Enter Verkan Vall of the Paratime Police, a hard-nosed troubleshooter tasked with protecting the Paratime Secret, even if it means engineering a few miracles of his own.
