De: Daniel Orrett

Narrado por: Larissa Thompson, Emily Serdahl, Laura Faye Smith, Ben Prendergast, Stephen Trafford, Matthew Kaufman, Lelia Symington, Tim Parker, Full Cast

The Tantalus Cluster is the fragile cradle of humanity.

Adrift in the divide between galaxies and surrounded by the vast emptiness of the intergalactic void, the Tantalus Cluster is the only home humanity has ever known.

Desperate and facing starvation, humanity’s only hope is a strange nebula that has suddenly appeared beyond the edge of the cluster. Its shifting clouds may hide a source of salvation for the people of Tantalus, but time is running out.

Signing on to the ambitious Avalon Expedition, Privateer Captain Cassandra Farren will face the shadows of both the past and future as she leads her small crew into the unknown in a last, desperate bid for the survival of the human race.

Directed and produced with careful scientific consultation, The Sojourn captures every detail of life aboard ship, from the sounds of the smallest airlock seal to the largest space battle. Featuring a full cast of veteran voice actors, backed up by high-quality sound effects and an epic original soundtrack, The Sojourn is a unique and striking audio experience.

Starring Larissa Thompson as Captain Cassandra Farren, Emily Serdahl as Director Elizabeth Ancelet, Laura Faye Smith as Tamara Melari, Ben Prendergast as Mathias Croft, Stephen Trafford as Inquisitor Castian Vadric, also featuring Matthew Kaufman as Lieutenant Jasper Ravi, and Lelia Symington as Empress Valendra the Sixth. Written by Daniel Orrett, sound design and audio editing by Kennedy Phillips, music by Sam Redfern.

just good sci fi

not much to elaborate on if you like sci fi like star trek or star wars you'll love this

Good start to a series

Good start to a new universe, great cast. Going to support on Patreon for sure.

Excellent Sci-fi

Well written and well developed sci-fi series. Manages to subvert expectations without throwing out the baby with the bath water

A bit difficult to keep names/affiliations straigh

a bit difficult to keep names and affiliations straight. interesting writing and great performances. I recommend it.

Good, but shorter than I expected

I had never looked into this before because I was waiting for a section to complete. I figured this was going to be one episode, but this running time is actually three episodes put together. What's there is good, there's just not much to judge.

A radio sci-fi drama to reach for the stars

A story only told in dialog, music, and sound effects we're drawn in to the world of the Sojourn without a narrator, only the words of the vibrant characters themselves.

The population crunch food riot plot is the only sticking point in my mind. It would have landed better with a catastrophe to set off the agricultural collapse. Malthus was wrong, let's stop entertaining his nightmare and stare at the ones we actually might face.

Highly recommended! Beyond beautiful!!

One of the best audiobook that tackles sci fi. It was well thought out and executed. I will await the next one with bated breath!

awesome

great world building and story telling loved every minute can't wait for the next volume

great voice acting and sound! great story!

Usually i don't write reviews, a book ia s book.
but I had to for this one.

Also usually I don't like audiobooks with sound effects and many voice actors, but this one impressed me despite my pre-judgement.

every little detail seems on point. not too much, not too little.

my only negative feedback is: way too short! I want the story to continue.

without spoilers I can only compare the story to the very beginning of Mass Effect game series.

Intrigued Enough To Become A Patron

First Impressions:

Overall, I'm impressed. The worldbuilding, while still shallow, is what hooked me onto the story and I can't wait to see it developed in upcoming volumes. Will be following this series closely.

Casting-wise, they did a pretty good job. The only major criticism I have is with regard to the lead protaganist's voice actress. She doesn't sound a like starship captain; let alone a war vet. She sounds too young and doesn't carry the gravitas I would expect of an experienced commander or soldier.

Writing was a little awkward in places, but good overall. I do find the Director's character to be a little unbelievable. For what is supposed to be an internationally cooperative expedition, I would have expected someone a little more serious and traditional appointed to that role. Some of the character development seems a little rushed. The interactions between the Director and Cass, for example, give the impression that they are old friends of some sort despite them just meeting.

Despite those flaws, I look forward to the next volume. Definitely worth the price.
