Wow

I wasn’t expecting much when I started listening, but wow I was blown away. I wish they would make it into a movie. I loved the story! I love the performance! It was like watching with your ears. I wish there was more and the ending was just WTF in the best way.

The most immersive audio experience I've ever had.

Very well done and interesting until the very end, I listened to it from start to finish in one go because it held my attention so well. Would highly recommend.

My first Audiobook on Audible

As a beginner with audiobooks, this story stretched the imagination beyond Mars and the Moon space exploration. Voices were perfect and I felt like I was in space with the characters. A unique Sci-Fi "love" story centered around searching and understanding the unknown!

WOW!!!

INCREDIBLE!!! One of the best things I've read or listened too in quite some time. I don't give many really good books 5 star reviews, mostly 4 stars, but this was exceptional in every aspect. I'm a 67 year old guy, and I don't mind admitting that I cried for most all of the last 2 episodes. I tear up a bit, quite often when reading, but not like this. I know everybody has their own opinion, but it will confuse me if anyone doesn't give this 5 stars all across the board. Excellent job, to everybody involved!!!

Thank you Audible!

This takes me back to the beginning when I first started listening to streaming audio books and in fact Audio dramatized books. Thank you Audible and everyone involved for a truly fun, and thought provoking journey. It was so great to re-capture that same feeling again listening to an amazing story and being so taken away with it all. Nice work.

FANTASTIC!

This is the first scripted audio I've listened to. I was a little leery at first not knowing if I could handle the acting but I am so glad I gave it a try. I absolutely loved it! It reminded me a lot of the Abyss. I thought the actors were perfect and the sound effects really helped me visualize everything. I did laugh and cry and truly did not want it to end. Do not skip this one. Especially where it is included in the plus catalog.

Enjoyable Listen

This live production of the sea in the sky provided many hours of enjoyable listening. I particularly enjoyed the banter between Ty and Bee billions of miles away from Earth.
