Science Fiction (Sci-fi) Audio Stories

Season 3 of our apocalyptic saga finds our heroes in a seemingly impossible situation, far from home and with the odds of surviving – let alone thwarting the machinery in Corinth – very low. But, the human spirit endures all, and Luke, Maria, Mark and Abraham resolve to escape the fallen city of Borderton at any cost.

Meanwhile, somewhere in catacombs under Corinth, Queenie and Lucian regroup and try to figure out a way to move on. In the north, a new force threatens the Refuge. And in Corinth, Paul and Saul are growing stronger than ever and hurtle towards a most apocalyptic confrontation.

Season 2 of the epic apocalyptic drama The Cleansed finds a motley band of heroes traveling a treacherous river, but nature is only the beginning of the challenges they will face. Because in the shadows of the City of Corinth, a great evil has unlocked the secret to controlling the minds of millions: fear and violence.

Fifteen years after the fallout of a massive energy crisis, steadfast homesteaders in rural Maine slog through an off-grid life.

This bucolic existence is turned upside down when John Prophet, a soldier still fighting an unwinnable war, arrives with word of a powerful military force setting up in the ashes of old New York. His message falls on deaf ears except for those of two youths, Maria and Luke, who buck their parents’ wishes and set off on a journey filled with grim survivalists, rugged characters, religious maniacs, and dangers of nature that have grown up in this strange land.
