About this listen

An original dramatic presentation, cowritten by William Gibson, national best-selling author of Neuromancer and other classics, and Michael St. John Smith.

The year is 2016. Not our 2016. Theirs. Earth is dying, the result of a worldwide nuclear holocaust caused by America’s dictatorial President-for-Life Lewis Henderson, a man who will use any means necessary to maintain power and survive.

Enter: The Splitter. A machine capable of splitting off an exact replica of Henderson’s world. A world where the cataclysmic events causing its destruction have yet to occur.

That world is ours.

In August of 1945, our postwar Europe becomes the battleground for Henderson’s operatives - led by his sociopathic son - as they engineer a complete redo of their history. By changing ours. Their mission is to take over our world and rule it absolutely - again.

The only obstacles in their way are a disabled rebel colonel in an underground bunker; a Marine pilot who pursues Henderson’s men across time; and a British secret weapons analyst who must accept that the impossible is, in fact, possible.

And that the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance.

The cast of Archangel includes:

  • Neil Hellegers as PROF. JACK DAVIS
  • Inés del Castillo as MAJ. GUADALUPE “LUPE” TORRES
  • Mark Boyett as VP JUNIOR HENDERSON/ALOYSIUS HENDERSON
  • Eric Yves Garcia as PILOT
  • Liz Jasicki as LT. NAOMI GIVENS
  • Josh Hurley as FRITZ
  • Jonathan Todd Ross as CAPT. VINCE MATTHEWS
  • Scott Aiello as PRES. LEWIS HENDERSON
  • Graeme Malcolm as AIR COMMODORE GORDON TULLY
  • Gabe Vaughan as MR. BABY
  • Victor Bevine as COL. YERMAKOV

Editor's Pick

Listens like a movie
"I have a confession to make: I’ve never really listened to an audiodrama before. But I figure what better excuse to wet my toes than a thrilling sci-fi drama from William Gibson and Michael St. John Smith?

Archangel is an immersive experience that rivals some of the best genre films. What kicks off as a dystopian, post-apocalyptic tale quickly morphs into an all-out sci-fi thriller filled with espionage, political intrigue, and interdimensional travel. The twisty, high-stakes story is so well suited to the audiodrama format, which is a completely different experience from listening to an audiobook—I felt immersed in this dangerous, futuristic world every time I stepped into my car while listening, and the cast of talented narrators expertly set each scene.

I realize I’m gushing here as if I’ve just discovered audio for the first time and haven’t been working as an editor here and listening incessantly for the past five years, but was so impressed by how much could be conveyed in this format without visuals—from the performances to the mood-setting sound design. I’m a convert."

Cool reading with cast and music

Story was pretty good, took some leaps on imagination but that's ok for a sifi book. It was a little light on some details IMO. The reading with a full cast was really cool. Easy to tell what character was what, non eof the he said she said.

Narrated mind- movie

Well acted and an enjoyable, yet short, exploration into what could have been. Or possibly...

Innovative Narrative

This was an action packed story with some serious ideas wrapped in the package. Given the current political climate it worked on multiple levels.

Quite fun!

My First audio book. Some of the voice acting was a little clichéd but otherwise it was loads of fun.

Enjoyed it

It was good. Very good concept. It would have been cool if more people were transported to the hat trick.

Good stuff!

Phenomenal story, and most of the voice acting was great. A few quirks here or there, but overall a fantastic experience. Would definitely recommend reading if you're into dystopian scifi.

I Want Your Alt Universe

GOOD LISTEN. Tidy story a about universe jumping. The characters were interesting and well developed. The audio play was well done. Given the length, it might be difficult to add more to the story line. For me, the only drawback was the length of the story.
