Summary

One crew. One planet. Three timelines. No one survives alone.

A sci-fi thriller executive produced by Andy Weir (#1 bestselling author of Project Hail Mary, The Martian), with an all-star cast led by Anthony Mackie, Ariana DeBose and John Leguizamo. Written by Benjamin Percy (Wolverine, The Ninth Metal). Sound design by Skywalker Sound in immersive Dolby Atmos.

When the starship Wild Blue Yonder is torn apart by a quantum anomaly, each surviving crew member crash-lands in a different era on the same deadly exoplanet—hunted, alone, and running out of time. Chief Engineer Jeff Shaw (Anthony Mackie), aided by his virtual assistant (Ray Porter), must battle an unforgiving present, driven by one thing: getting home to his daughter. First Officer Becca Bang (Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose) fights to survive a hostile alien past. Science Officer Logan Bowers (John Leguizamo) wakes in a machine-ruled future that shouldn't exist. But the anomaly wasn't random. A relentless alien intelligence is feeding on human technology—and it's been waiting for them across every timeline. Separated by centuries, the crew must find a way to communicate across time itself before this world consumes them all.

Exoplanet is a propulsive, emotionally charged sci-fi thriller, perfect for fans of Project Hail Mary, Red Rising, The Expanse, and Dark Matter. Listeners, join the latest journey from Andy Weir where science meets survival, and the human spirit is tested across time, space, and impossible odds. Exoplanet awaits your arrival.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

A solid story with great world building. The sound production was sensational, it enhanced so much of the story without distracting or taking me out of it. I feel it’s cast really well, I always enjoy Ray Porter he just makes things sound… as they should. Ariana DeBose (Becca) and John Leguizamo (Logan) added extra depth to their characters/roles as did others, they just stood out to me a lot. Overall I’ll recommending this to any audiobook consumers even if they don’t dig the genre. Snap it up and enjoy it too.

A Worthy Listen Indeed

I was attracted to this audiobook primarily because Andy Weir appeared alongside Benjamin Percy in Audible’s author list. Only later did I discover that Weir was actually the executive producer, not a co-author. While his involvement was genuine, I found the author listing rather misleading.

Unfortunately, the story itself was almost the opposite of what I enjoy about Andy Weir’s science fiction.

What makes novels like The Martian and Project Hail Mary so compelling is their emphasis on intelligent, cool-headed problem-solving. Their protagonists face extraordinary challenges and overcome them through scientific reasoning, ingenuity, and perseverance.

In Exoplanet, by contrast, I found the characters frustratingly impulsive and emotional. They repeatedly make questionable decisions, and much of the drama seems to arise from their own mistakes rather than genuinely challenging scientific problems.

Instead of science driving the narrative, it often feels like a convenient backdrop for an action-packed adventure. The story prioritises excitement, conflict, and emotional drama over the logical problem-solving and scientific depth I was hoping for.

Ultimately, Exoplanet feels more like an adventure thriller dressed in science-fiction clothing than the kind of hard sci-fi I expected.

Listeners who enjoy fast-paced, character-driven adventures may find plenty to like here. But anyone drawn to this title by Andy Weir’s name, hoping for another The Martian or Project Hail Mary, should adjust their expectations considerably.

The production and the voices really added to the story. Well done audible and as always a great story by Andy Weir. You feel like you are there in the world with the character experiencing there struggles for survival in another world.

Outstanding Production

It was ok, but only just. All production and very light on for story. I saw Andy Weir and bought it on that basis. If you do the same you’ll likely feel a little disappointed.

This title goes down unexpected twists during the book and keeps the reader entertained through different voices and storylines. Not only does it bring in futuristic outcomes but also brings in a present factor as well. What a great listen and highly recommended so thank you for writing and performing this title.
