  • 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.

    Note: this title contains fully immersive sound design and original composition. In order to enjoy the highest quality audio listening experience, please use headphones. If you choose to download this title, make sure it’s set to “High” in your settings.

Weird

Nothing happens for the first seven episodes, followed by a flutter of activity, then not much after that. It reminds me a bit of 'We who are about to...' by Joanna Russ. Bizarre and a bit depressing overall.

An emotional rocket ship to the moon

I have to admit, i didn't know what to expect, least of all to be on the verge of tears.
Without going in to spoiler territory, this is something you will want to listen to if you enjoy scifi, with or without the human element.

I thoroughly reccomend this, and am honestly surprised it's free, so strap in and download; we are diving in.

interesting and entertaining

I found the first couple of episodes fairly formulaic but the story became interesting as it went along as it became more philosophical and quasi spiritual. I'm glad I listened all the way through. Well written and performed.
