A Sci-Fi Survival Story Hits Audible

The new science fiction audio thriller 'Exoplanet,' executive produced by Andy Weir—author of 'The Martian' and 'Project Hail Mary'—has officially launched on Audible. Written by acclaimed comic writer Benjamin Percy, the drama features a star-studded voice cast including Anthony Mackie, Ariana DeBose, and John Leguizamo.
