After 25 years serving as the human Monitor of the Interstellar Ark, Hermes, Orion is scheduled to be placed back into hibernation with the other crewmembers.

Knowing he'll die there and be replaced before the ship's voyage is over, he decides that he won’t — can’t — accept that fate.

Whatever it takes, Orion will escape Hermes and see what's beyond, even if it means defying the regulations of his only friend — the ship-wide artificial intelligence known as Dan.

From the Washington Post and number one Audible best-selling duo, Rhett C. Bruno and Jaime Castle, comes a harrowing science fiction short story that will leave you questioning exactly what it means to be alive.

Very short but beautiful story that made my heart hurt and made me smile at the same time.

Beautiful and sad

It's a shorter audiobook, than I'm used to up'til now but it's not less thrilling. It's a nice dystopian story in space and I really liked the way of storytelling as well as the work of the voice actor, who in my opinion did a great job.

Very good
