About this listen

The galaxy is vast. Finding your place in it is harder. Rufus has spent his life feeling unanchored—defined by a father who disappeared and a system that values obedience over individuality. When he leaves home and steps into the SlipSpace lanes, he isn’t searching for glory. He’s searching for belonging. Thrown together with a handful of strangers—each carrying their own secrets, doubts, and ambitions.

Rufus begins to form something unexpected: a Pack. Not bound by rank or blood, but by trust earned the hard way. As they navigate unfamiliar worlds, shifting allegiances, and the quiet pressure of a Federation that always seems to be watching, the group must decide who they are and who they’re willing to become for each other.

Because in a universe built on control and hierarchy, choosing your own family might be the most dangerous act of all. Slipspace Chronicles: A Rookie’s Tale is a character-driven space opera about found family, trust, and discovering your place among the stars.
