About this listen

A mysterious plague ushers in an intergalactic war that ravages the galaxy for decades. A soldier and a pilot are tasked to deliver a package. A messenger and a refugee decide to work together on a dying alien planet. A love letter is lost that could be the key to a new future. A dark comedy about the messages we carry in our bones.

It’s not long and had enough to say to have been worth developing. That said, as an embryonic allegory rather than a mature one, it’s very well done and the small cast are uniformly excellent. They all have some funny, often poignant lines and they do not waste them.

Well paced, funny and great performances.

Well performed short audio play. Just the right amount of light and dark in a story of a future of grim compliance and a new “humanity.”

Short and sweet.

Good story with a great ending. Not too long either. Characters were solidly voiced. I very much enjoyed it.

Short but sweet

Not the most highbrow science fiction you're likely to hear, but entertaining nonetheless. Good performances and the usual quality you'd expect from Audible. No spoilers, but there's clearly going to be more of this story to follow - it would be a great shame if not. Look forward to see what happens next...

Enjoyable sci-fi romp
