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.

If you’ve listened to any of Julian Simpson’s other audio dramas you know they are exceptional. This is no exception. Fantastic story, brilliant performances and the sound engineering (I think that’s the phrase) is incredible. Fully worth 5 stars

So good

I was very excited to learn there was a new drama from Julian Simpson and I really enjoyed this. It was suitably mind bending, with wonderful sound. Also lovely to hear the regular actors. Hope there will be more to come from this great team.

Mind boggling entertainment

Loved this, a little confusing at times but relistening to the last episode helped unpick all the threads. Clever and engaging. Julian and his voice team are great, love the Lovecraft investigations and Pleasant Green universe. Here's hoping they've found a new home on Audible.

Classic Julian Simpson

I was extremely excited about this title just because it ties in my love of time travel stories, with my life long interest in unexplained events and conspiracy theories. But the way this story is woven together is genius storytelling. I planned on listening to just the first couple of chapters and ended up going to bed at 3am after I had listened to the whole story. I cannot recommend it enough. The sound effects and acting really bring this extraordinary story to life.
