About this listen
Just your average tech genius and sword-fighting enthusiast, inventing a device that could unlock the universe…or lead to its total destruction.
After a decade of research and development, I've done it. I've created a personal wormhole transportation device, a feat that should have been the pinnacle of my career.
But all my excitement turns to horror when I realize my boss is willing to kill to get his hands on my invention. Suddenly, the groundbreaking device I created becomes a deadly weapon, and the only way to survive is to use it. In a desperate bid to escape the clutches of my ruthless boss, I make a split-second decision to transport myself and three colleagues to another universe – Orbem.
Orbem greets us with a host of fantastical challenges. From tyrannical Elves to racist lizard humanoids, and even rabid Pixies, survival in this magical realm demands every ounce of our knowledge and skill. And with a dark sorcerer threatening our very existence, I still have to find a way back home and thwart my CEO's sinister plans before and save Earth.
Join Dr. Graeme Milford on a snarky adventure where the line between science and magic blurs and the fate of multiple universes hangs in the balance.

Compiled by intrepid journalist Neve Pride, this archive of recordings spans the months after dragons emerged on earth, chronicling the communities that sprang up amid the destruction, the scientists, military leaders, and experts searching for a defense, and those steadfastly seeking the missing. Neve and her young daughter Bex travel among the wreckage speaking to those left behind and surviving, against all odds. Neve records everything for history, and in the hopes of locating a clue as to where the dragons came from and how one might stop them.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,320
Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
John, a vampire living for near six thousand years, has gone by many names in his life. Warrior, king, god. Such great age can also be a curse, as his mind has not kept up with the regeneration of his body, and he struggles to even remember his own name. That is until powerful beings called the ascended come to Earth and remove a shield blocking our solar system from the Tree of Life. John is healed, and his mind restored, and he is ready to learn this new way of gaining power, this self-cultivation, and defend his world. But he's no longer the apex predator.

In a world where humans are evolving, people are more curious than afraid. They look for answers from a handful of scientists who try to uncover why some develop abilities yet the vast majority to do. For most humans, it's an exciting time, but for EOs—the evolved ones—it's a game of hide and seek that ends with far too many of their kind disappearing, permanently.

My name is Brent, and I'm the proud, new owner of Rootwood Manor. Sure, it's a rundown mansion in the middle of nowhere... but that makes it the perfect place for my magical lair. Ever since the System came to Earth I've aspired to be a powerful wizard! Of course, difficulties crop up. I’ve got to learn to master my new magic, pay down my mortgage, and raise money for the manor’s repair. There’s also dealing with my creepy neighbors, escaping murderous ghosts, and preventing a blood ritual that could spell the end of the world.

Incredibly Fun Adventure of Fantasy and Sci Fi
Scott wastes no time weaving up a beautiful blend of sci fi and fantasy. The story flowed very well and by the end you've been introduced to a brilliant cast of unique characters and get a sense of a much larger world and over arching saga planned out. Highly recommend for someone that enjoys long form story telling with vibrant characters and countless possibilities. Gonna have to read the next one. Also the narrator of this audio book was really a delight to listen to.

A Masterclass in World-Building
Orbem is a truly captivating read that pulled me in from the very beginning. The world-building is rich and immersive, creating a setting that feels both fantastical and grounded. The characters are incredibly well-written, each with distinct personalities that come alive on the page. What I loved most was how the humor was woven into their interactions—funny without ever being overbearing, adding just the right balance to the story.
The plot twists are masterfully done, catching me off guard in the best way. Each revelation added layers to the story, making it impossible to stop listening. The narrative pacing is smooth and gripping, and I found myself completely engrossed, eager to see what would happen next.
The audiobook itself is a great experience—well-narrated and expertly paced, making it easy to get lost in the story for hours at a time. I can't wait for the next audiobook release, and Orbem has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite reads this year.
