About this listen
The Exodus Directive. A sweeping tale of survival, freedom, and the enduring power of the human spirit, set against a backdrop of global turmoil and corruption. Step into a world where the imagined and the real collide in The Exodus Directive, a modern dystopian odyssey that reflects the fears and hopes of our turbulent times. This gripping tale delves into economic instability, societal fragmentation, and the eternal human longing for freedom and self determination.
While the story’s protagonist is a Christian man, its universal themes of resilience, independence, and the quest for purpose transcend faith and belief, offering a narrative that speaks to anyone navigating an uncertain world. Equal parts survival story and exploration of human spirit, The Exodus Directive invites listeners to journey through a dystopian landscape where hope and courage become the ultimate compass.
Set in the end of the year 2024, the United States is on the brink of collapse. The economy is imploding, traditional currencies are being replaced with government controlled alternatives, and society itself teeters on the edge. Against this turbulent backdrop, John, a seasoned sailor, embarks on a daring journey aboard Exodus, his technologically advanced, and highly customized sailboat.
Their mission, if they choose to accept it, is to escape from the insanity unfolding, and build a future away from their homeland. But the journey isn’t just about survival. It’s about building something lasting, relationships, trust, and the kind of community that thrives on mutual respect and shared values. Using cutting edge tools and instincts honed over years, John and his crew navigate hostile waters, both literal and figurative. Get ready for an unforgettable journey. The waters may be rough, but the horizon is calling. Will you answer?

Story
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.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. 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.

Story
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.

Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
It’s 1984, and the invisible mists are falling, mists that cause people to slip into dreamless slumber—sleeps from which most, but not all, awaken. Those who do wake live in fear of the next mist, and the next, each a little longer and more dangerous than the last. Alternating between the perspectives of a kleptomaniac waitress named Cora and her twelve-year-old friend Glass, Sleepaway depicts a small-town America turned alarming. This is a place where loved ones are lost to a state between life and death; where denial, delusion, and desperation take hold of those remaining.

Story
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.
