  • Summary

  • In this scripted Audible Original, wisecracking marine biologist and astronaut Bee Guerrero has signed up for the trip of a lifetime: a series of dives deep into the pitch-black waters of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus. 

    Set in the near-future when global climate catastrophe has forced humans to search for solutions on new planets, The Sea in the Sky chronicles two astronauts’ journey, in what could be the final NASA-sponsored mission to space. In their search for life, Bee and Ty navigate uncharted waters, take on incredible risks and confront difficult truths about themselves. What will they find at the bottom of it all? 

    At times epic and intimate, laugh-out-loud funny and achingly soulful, The Sea in the Sky plumbs the depths of science and faith, triumph and failure. The Audible Original drama is told via daily "dispatches" sent from the space shuttle back to Earth, together with original music and sound design, a never-before-heard space rap, and a full cast of actors. 

    Dive into a world you need to hear to believe. 

    Contains sensitive content.

I deserve (a) credit for listening

What was I listening? An unbalanced hodgepodge of soapseries and bad scifi.
I have this condition where I can't walk out on a story once it takes of. I had to persist till the end.
Yes, it was free for me as a member, but I wonder if AUDIBLE thinks that this fact is good enough not to take me serious.

Just wow!!

I had genuine goosebumps at the end, this story has me in tears, confused, lost but mostly longing for more!
Honestly im still kind of shook and will be for awhile thinking of this.

Loved It!

Was really captured by the story and the narration/production which was a bit like a radio play. Will need to look out for more like this as I really enjoyed all the sound effects, music etc which gave it a lot of atmosphere. The story itself was wonderful and thought provoking and I was kinda sad when it ended. So I started listening to it all over again. Yep, I guess I loved it!!

How Cool!

I am an avid fan of Sci-fi but it is a varying genre with greats and not so great. This series I am pleased to say is awesome and such a fun listen. It had quirky humour and believable characters. Really enjoyed and the dramatization was fun.

A personal favourite

Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this entire story. Extremely well acted and an all out incredible space exploration story. I was sucked straight in and thoroughly enjoyed my experience.

If your a lover of realistic sci fi or have a passion for the idea of space exploration and the potential for our future reaching our neighbouring planets this is perfect for you.

I have been struggling to find anything similar to this great work that could draw me in the same way, it’s a simple concept yet perfectly executed. I hope for further great tales from Jason in the near future
