About this listen

I'M LOST. I'M SCARED. AND THERE'S SOMETHING HORRIBLE IN HERE.

My name is Gary Rendell. I'm an astronaut. When they asked me as a kid what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said, "astronaut, please!" I dreamed astronaut, I worked astronaut, I studied astronaut. I got lucky; when a probe exploring the Oort Cloud found a strange alien rock and an international team of scientists was put together to go and look at it, I made the draw.

I got even luckier. When disaster hit and our team was split up, scattered through the endless cold tunnels, I somehow survived.

Now I'm lost, and alone, and scared, and there's something horrible in here.

Lucky me.

Lucky, lucky, lucky.

This was hilarious. A number of times I was laughing out loud like a madman in the gym or while driving alone. Adrian Tchaikovsky is a surprisingly excellent narrator. I’d give him 6 stars if possible. His portrayal of the protagonist was just perfect. Throughly enjoyed and will listen to again at some point. Thanks Mr Tchaikovsky
