A little more about the listen

A Martian marine witnesses a massacre on Ganymede, a politician tries to prevent interplanetary war, and Holden’s crew searches for a missing child while the protomolecule threat escalates.

The listening experience

Jefferson Mays carries a substantial single-narrator production through military action, political manoeuvring, mystery and the expanding alien threat. The performance is best appreciated as a continuing space-opera listen, not a sound-effects-heavy drama.

Best for

Listeners who want to continue directly from Leviathan Wakes with larger stakes, more viewpoints and a stronger military-political focus.

The honest note

The roughly 20–21-hour runtime and multiple viewpoint threads reward sustained listening. Runtime can vary slightly between storefront editions, so check the specific listing before spending a credit.

Worth the credit?
