About this listen
When atomic bombs flew back and forth forty years ago, superheroes were an unintended consequence. In present day, Builder is a 23-year-old sidekick with the powers of duplication and post-cognition. He's thought about quitting, Captain Miracle keeps telling him that he's too old for him.
When his identity is leaked while on a routine League mission to prove that super-powered people deserve to exist, along with a harrowing list of crimes he could not have committed, he has two choices. Go with Captain Miracle's overeager arch nemesis who pledges to protect him or turn himself in to the police.
The Centipede is a 29-year-old roboticist. He hates his narcissistic arch nemesis, Captain Miracle, but is too in love with Miracle’s sidekick, Builder, to give up his career as a villain for pay. When Builder's identity is leaked and he is accused of a huge list of crimes, The Centipede springs into action to save him and prove that Captain Miracle isn't who he says he is.
Will they clear Builder's name or will they be sunscorched?

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.

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.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

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.

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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4
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.
