Space: 1972

By: Bill Oakley

Narrated by: Natasha Lyonne, full cast

In an alternate America, JFK survived—and didn’t just win the Space Race. He never stopped.

Now it’s 1972, and JFK’s ever-expanding space empire is ripping holes in space-time itself—erasing people, places, and entire histories from existence.

The only ones who might be able to stop him? Nancy Kranick (Emmy nominee Natasha Lyonne), a former moon nurse lying low in Hoboken, New Jersey… and Richard Nixon, tangled in a conspiracy so bizarre it stretches from the Moon to a Shakey’s Pizza to a parallel-universe Watergate.

As JFK tightens his grip on an Empire of the Stars, Nancy and Nixon must reunite and track down the fragments of a mysterious, reality-warping metal—hidden across space, time, and alternate dimensions—before history is rewritten for good.

From Emmy-winning writer Bill Oakley (The Simpsons, Futurama, Portlandia), Space: 1972 is a bigger, stranger, and more gloriously off-the rails sequel to the hit Audible Original Space: 1969.

Fantastic!

I stayed up till 3 AM listening to this because I just could not go to sleep without finishing it it was fantastic Natasha has as always nailed it! It was just overall fantastic acting across-the-board!

Great voice work, took me back to the 70’s.

The twisted alternative timeline was very entertaining. The voices were spot on, great voice talent.

Better than the boys

This book is so good. No the message. Just pure entertainment. I really enjoyed it. The voice actors did a great job

Fun story

Loved that you never knew what was gonna happen next, good fun, far out but mad hatter fun.

EVERYTHING!!! PLEASE MAKE MORE SET IN THE WORLDS THE SERIES ARE BASED IN!!!!

Loved the unique experience, exceptional and character view points. Also how insanely amazingly, hilarious, and ridiculous the story line/all aspects of which has been set out and narrated. Honestly, the only story line I’ve raved about to everyone. Even after reading thousands of books on audible. So unique and great!
