In an alternate America, JFK survived—and didn’t just win the Space Race. He never stopped.

Now it’s 1972, and JFK’s ever-expanding space empire is ripping holes in space-time itself—erasing people, places, and entire histories from existence.

The only ones who might be able to stop him? Nancy Kranick (Emmy nominee Natasha Lyonne), a former moon nurse lying low in Hoboken, New Jersey… and Richard Nixon, tangled in a conspiracy so bizarre it stretches from the Moon to a Shakey’s Pizza to a parallel-universe Watergate.

As JFK tightens his grip on an Empire of the Stars, Nancy and Nixon must reunite and track down the fragments of a mysterious, reality-warping metal—hidden across space, time, and alternate dimensions—before history is rewritten for good.

From Emmy-winning writer Bill Oakley (The Simpsons, Futurama, Portlandia), Space: 1972 is a bigger, stranger, and more gloriously off-the rails sequel to the hit Audible Original Space: 1969.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Definitely has my kind of humour. Too many laugh out loud moments! Some historical figures as you've never seen them.

The casts of narrators are topic notch and nail the accents. The writing moves along at a nice clip so there's never a dull moment. And nothing is predictable which keeps it fresh and entertaining. Storytelling at its finest with no wokeness just a good story

Funny, Thought Provoking
