About this listen

 An Audiobook Original from Penguin Random House Audio

From the creator of Babylon 5 and Sense8 comes a full-cast action/adventure military audio drama set in the near future, for fans of Tom Clancy and Timothy Zahn.

International tension is rising as the Russian military forms an Eastern Alliance to create a new age of Russian supremacy. The rest of the world is scrambling for a united response.
 
Enter Project Earthlight.
 
Earthlight is a NATO operation under U.S. command based in the ultimate military high ground: space. A group of the best fighter pilots is handpicked from around the world to fly the first generation of advanced planes capable of maneuvering in the vacuum of space and inside the atmosphere.
 
Learning how to fly experimental planes while learning to trust their new squadron, our pilots are plunged into a high-stakes life-and-death mission with everything at risk. Can Commanding Officer Colonel Scott Dane get the other pilots on the same page in time to prevent World War III?
 
With cutting-edge soundscapes and an action-packed plot, EARTHLIGHT will keep listeners on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

this was a really good story, it feels like it could be the start of a new series and also could be a movie/tv series.

the story feels like it's ripped from tomorrow headlines and could happen in the next couple of years.

Great Story

An exciting piece of audio drama. Excellent script, brilliantly stereotyped characters. Wonderful entertainment from Straskinsky (sp) as one would expect. Would delight in seeing how he would get from this to the outstanding Babylon 5. More please Michael.

Disturbingly close to a potential future

I was waiting for this title to come out for a long time. and I have to say I absolutely love it. It sounds awesome, the story I great... and the fact I play Capt. Lech Czyzynski in it is a mega cherry on top 🤙🏻

Wow!

This is nowhere near JMS best work. Far too much crash/bang sound effects and too little narrative.

Disappointed
