About this listen

A gripping, full-cast science-fiction drama for fans of time travel, conspiracy theories, and unexplained phenomena.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes.

Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

But is Earth safe? Could the Vanishing happen again?

To get answers, two teams are launched back in time–one to New York City before the Vanishing; another to follow a bizarre trail of clues through history, from Area 51 to the lost Roanoke colony, and beyond.

There are forces, though, that don’t want the Temporal mission to succeed. And a mysterious being whose own agenda might destroy them all.

This is truly a masterpiece of storytelling. It requires some focus, but the characters and setting are amazing. The sound design is a marvel and overall this was one of the best (if not the best) audio dramas I’ve ever heard. Thank you!

A magnificent ride

I’ve been looking forward to this for months and it more than delivered. A sometimes mind-boggling adventure in space and time.

Superb cast recorded extremely well in binaural sound, and masterfully complex plotting from Julian Simpson, as per usual. Very much recommended.

Brilliant timey-wimey adventure

The is was really well written and brilliantly performed. I followed the story for the majority of episodes but the last couple got a bit confusing. I am off to read a synopsis of the plot online just to clear up the lose ends.

Great but very confusing towards the end

Loved this so, so much. Some of my favourite performers and my favourite writer. The story is just the right balance of twisty but followable (apparently that’s a word!). The audio is phenomenal, great on a car audio system, outstanding using earphones - yes I’ve listened twice. Like other Simpson productions, it is eminently repeatable, each time of listening gives more. If you loved this (and don’t know of other Simpsons) check out Lovecraft Investigations and the Pleasant Green radio dramas. More needed!

An immersive experience

What a wonderful scifi about time travel and AIs and so many more things. I listened to the last 2 chapters 3 times and I still don’t understand how it ends. Is one of those stories where the author got bored and wrote an abrupt ending, like falling of a cliff - the end. I tried googling what the ending was about but I believe it will be one of those mysteries in my life with no ending. Is so unclear. Please reply to this review if anyone got the ending.
