An Utopian Book of Sounds

Join the journey of the starship CATALINA in this blend of audiobook and radio drama, featuring immersive sound effects and music.

A classic science fiction novel off the beaten path, exploring long-forgotten technology and heroes setting out on new adventures.

The Empire is in turmoil. A threat from the center of the galaxy has put the entire Starfleet on high alert.

What has turned the men into mutants? The search leads from meteor fields, wolves, and silent radio operators, past rusted wrecks, to a brothel and angry space traders.

Using state-of-the-art vacuum tube technology and the latest punch-card command printers, Captain Rokanski follows a disturbing trail through the Empire’s planetary systems.

Let yourself be swept away into a futuristic old world!
