Best about the audiobook:
There are inevitably many generic running themes in every science fiction that seem to pop up in every dystopian narration– a challenging and brutal landscape, segregated society, and the deadly competition, as well as an angry and repressed protagonist rising against the ruling classes.
That is well said, Tim Gerard has done an excellent narration to make Red Rising stand apart from the masses of science fiction.

Best about the audiobook:
This science-fiction audiobook discusses the future-oriented world of science and efficiency- The world State. In modern society children at an early age have emotions and individuality and there is no enduring bond, because “everyone belongs to everybody else.
This was a spine-tingling chiller that kept me up late at night reading, unwilling to put it down.
Micheal York hands down his best job in narrating this plot-twisting drama.

It is a story of an astronaut, who gets to Mars by accident, and he has to survive there for a year to get help from the earth.

Mark Watney gets on Mars due to the same space accident, and his colleagues die in that accident. He is the lone survivor. This audiobook also contains humor and plot twists to engage readers and listeners. It is a must listen to audiobooks from this list.
Best about the audiobook:
Turned out to be the most-talked Hollywood Science fiction thriller in 2015, The Martian depicts the extravagant story of Mark Watney who was set abandoned by his crew in the lost space.
Wil Wheaton, who gave the voice of sci fi blockbusters like Ready Player One and Redshirts, breathes new life into the classic figure of Mark Watney (and lots of sarcasm) that makes this edition both for the Martian fans and new SciFi listeners!.
- Lagoon
What happens when the first interaction with an alien is with a famous rapper, a biologist, and a rogue soldier? Only they have a chance to save humanity and prevent mass extinction. It is the storyline of this science fiction novel.
When aliens came on the earth, they selected these three people to make conversation, and it is beautifully written about how three familiar people can save the world and humanity from war.
Best about the audiobook:
The lagoon is a splendidly modern look at how humans react to the unknown massively, with all the adjustments and challenges that I could hope for in personal character.
The SciFi audiobook vividly reveals the anarchy of Lagos, because the presence of a strange alien species exaggerates all the strengths and shortcomings of human beings.
The prose is short and sharp and escalates smoothly with no flaps. Highly recommended!
Space is an awful place, as we saw in many films and TV series – yet the thrills that these stories include demonstrate that while there are many threats to leave the planet, there are also lots of thrills in the big unknown and adventures that go beyond our possible understanding.
Amidst the pandemic, a new trend has emerged inside Space Sci-fi lovers and this time it’s through fictional audiobooks! While everyone is at home pursuing every activity conceivable, we thought it would be a good opportunity to recommend some of these space science fiction audiobooks you can listen to.

This is high-quality science fiction deserving of the Masterworks label. The story never slows down, which helps to lure the reader in while maintaining a sympathetic and emotional core (despite the war sequences and death and devastation); a tough balance to achieve.

Artemis is one of the greatest science fiction novels of the year, but it is not a rehash of The Martian. Tone, personalities, and structure are all distinct.

Best About This Audiobook
The audiobook presentation of The Rising Storm, read by Marc Thompson, is excellent. I read the book and listened to the audiobook after, and it’s perfectly complementary. Hearing the characters adds a new layer to the story.
Marchion Ro is already an unsettling presence on the pages of the book, but hearing his voice takes it to a new level. Thompson is a master of his craft, and that mastery is on full display in The Rising Storm audiobook.
- Project Hail Mary
Ryland Grace is the lone survivor on a desperate last-ditch mission, and if he fails, mankind and the world will die.
Except that he isn’t aware of it right now. He can’t even recall his own identity, let alone the nature of his task or how to do it.
All he knows is that he’s been sleeping for a long time. And he’s just awoken to find himself millions of kilometers away from home, with just two corpses for company.
With his crewmates gone and his memories hazily returning, Ryland understands he is now faced with an impossible job. Hurtling through space on this small ship, it’s up to him to solve an unfathomable scientific mystery—and to save our species from annihilation.
And, with the clock ticking and the nearest human being light-years away, he’ll have to do it all on his own.
Is that correct?

- Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy (Book II: Greater Good)
In the second SciFi audiobook of best-selling author Timothy Zahn’s epic Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy, Thrawn and his friend’s race to preserve the Chiss Ascendancy from an invisible adversary.
Thrawn’s most recent win is still fresh on his shoulders. He has led the Chiss to triumph and delivered honor to the House of Mitth, but the actual threat to the Ascendancy remains. Their adversaries do not issue threats or ultimatums, nor do they assemble ships on the eve of the Chaos.
Their weapons are disguised as smiles and generosity: freely given gifts. Services are provided unconditionally. As rivalry and distrust build conflict among friends, each warrior must choose between the protection of their family and the survival of the Ascendancy itself.
Best About This Audiobook
Since his introduction into the official canon, Thrawn has steadily risen to be one of the characters I most look forward to revisiting. Due in large part to Timothy Zahn’s development of the character both on the page and on-screen in Star Wars Rebels. It’s fascinating watching his mind work, and wondering what his ultimate goals are.
Thrawn is well-narrated and well-rounded. This start to a new trilogy was outstanding on every level and I’m anxious to discover what happens next. And that’s the mark of a great author right there!
Great Star Wars Audiobook!!
- Brave New World Revisited
“A simpleton who spent his life denouncing the forward march of the Machine,” Huxley was a man of extraordinary talents: he was “a genius who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine” (The New Yorker). Artist, spiritual seeker, and one of history’s most astute observers of human nature and society.
His masterwork, Brave New World, has fascinated and horrified millions of listeners\readers, and it remains urgently relevant to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we move into tomorrow and as a thought-provoking, rewarding work of fiction.
Best About This Audiobook
Brave New World is a probing new SciFi vision of an unequal, technologically advanced future in which humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order – all at the expense of our freedom, full humanity, and possibly our souls.
Highly recommended listening for Sci-Fi lovers in 2023.

Best About This Audiobook
The Stone Wolf, Some great storytelling, and I got randomly attached to these animated stone wolves he introduced as a horse replacement which was quite fun as well as getting to explore more of this fantasy world outside of the original city.
A lot of fighting as well as some great sub-story building up throughout the series so far I look forward to seeing what comes next.
- Life Reset: Salvation(Book 6)
The epic Life Reset drama comes to a close!
Insurmountable odds, secret powers moving behind the scenes, all leading up to a last, cataclysmic showdown. The magnificent city of Everance stood in the way of the GreenPiece clan, but as Oren quickly finds, he faces much greater challenges before achieving his ultimate objective.
Oren’s trip across the realm of NEO was perilous and terrifying. Nobody could have predicted that finale, and it tugged at my heartstrings; it was a fantastic finish.
Throughout Oren’s travels and desire to free the gamers, he pushed forward at every opportunity, motivated to save the trapped players in the game world. He had no idea that they were all pawns in a much larger game.
Best About This Audiobook
Words cannot express how infinitely satisfied I feel after listening to this delightful piece of the new sci-fi audiobook!
It was a wild ride from beginning to end, and seeing Oren struggle through hardships and revel in his victories made everything a fantastic treat to listen to.
The performance was fantastic with the sound effects, narration, and everything else adding color and life to the already fulfilling story.

- The Solid-State Shuffle (Book 1)
A massive terrestrial catastrophe altered the Earth’s coasts almost 100 years ago. Bye-bye, whole cities. Bye-bye, whole states. Farewell, whole countries. When the authorities made salvage from these underwater towns illegal, a new type of criminal emerged: underwater reclamation professionals.
Even after 100 years, there is still a lot of wealth to be had. But it’s not stealing if you return it, right?
After breaching an underwater vault in their first big robbery in the Seattle Isles, Isa and her gang believe they’re back on track – provided they can find out what they took. A question, they quickly discover, where their very lives are at stake.
Best About This Audiobook
The Solid-State Shuffle by Jeffrey A. Ballard is a hilarious piece of post-apocalyptic fiction that will have you in stitches as you follow Isa and her team in their sometimes bumbling efforts to return a stolen article, unmask the true villains, and stay alive. There are bits of violence, and the language is salty, but mostly, it’s just a pleasant, and rib-tickling read. Good double-cross scenario evasion and worth listening to a new Sci-Fi audiobook in 2023.
- The God Equation
Newton’s discovery of the law of gravity united the principles that control the sky and the Earth. Since then, physicists have added additional forces to ever-larger models.
The ultimate difficulty, however, may be to achieve a massive synthesis of the two remaining theories—relativity and quantum theory. This would be science’s pinnacle achievement, a profound fusion of all-natural forces into a single beautiful, majestic equation capable of unlocking science’s deepest mysteries:
What occurred before the Big Bang? What is beyond the horizon of a black hole? Is it possible that there are other worlds and dimensions? Is it possible to travel back in time? What brings us here?
Best About This Audiobook
The God Equation, New York Times Best Seller The epic story of the greatest quest in all of science – the holy grail of physics that would explain the creation of the universe
Michio gives his thoughts on the nature of everything, the nature of nothing, and the existence of God. I found his speculations to be refreshing in a world of rash and harshly proclaimed “certainties”.
- The Code Breaker
Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade when she returned home to find her father had put a book named The Double Helix on her bed. She set it aside, thinking it was one of her favorite detective stories. When she read it on a wet Saturday, she realized she was partially correct.
The last half-century has been characterized by a digital era built on the microchip, computer, and internet. We are now in the midst of a life-science revolution.

5 Best Sci Fi Audiobook Series of All Time:
- Dune Series (Book 1 to 6)
Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Timothée Chalamet!
Dune, a sci-fi standard- audiobook series, comes to life in a whole different way in audio, especially when delivered by a full cast of narrators, each of whom adds their unique twist to Frank Herbert’s classic masterpiece.
Two families fight for possession of the desert planet Arrakis, which is the universe’s only home for melange, a spice that cures disease, extends life, and grants its users magical abilities. Dune’s timely concerns of ecology are only matched by its absolute brilliance.
Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune tells the narrative of the young Paul Atreides, who grows up to become the enigmatic Maud’dib. He would revenge his aristocratic family’s betrayal – and bring to fulfillment humankind’s most ancient and unachievable ideal.
Dune, a breathtaking combination of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, earned the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and served as the foundation for what is unquestionably science fiction’s finest epic.
Frank Herbert’s death in 1986 was a terrible loss, but his incredible legacy of visionary fiction will go on in perpetuity.
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Series
Douglas Adams has produced The Hitchhiker’s Galaxy Guide for the comedic science-fiction franchise. Originally broadcast in 1978 on BBC Radio 4, it was later turned into stage plays, novels, books, a television series of 1981, a computer game of 1984, and a movie feature of 2005.
While science fiction book series are frequently linked with highly serious topics—ranging from universe-wide existential dangers to the extinction of humanity—it cannot be emphasized how successfully Douglas Adams managed to mix science fiction and comedy in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
This SciFi series, which follows the random journey of an ordinary man from Earth who is hurled all across the galaxy, nails the joy and humor of science fiction as a genre. This is assisted greatly by the all-star narrators’ superb comic timing, as well as the fantastic ending written by Eoin Colfer following Adams’ death.
- The Lord of the Rings Series
The wizard Gandalf visits Frodo in Bag End frequently for several years. He explains the truth about the Ring and the stories behind it to Frodo one spring night. He notifies Sauron that he is resurrected, and is looking for the ring. Frodo leaves the Shire together with three Hobbit friends: Sam, Merry, and Pippin when he learns this.
Alongside the ringwraiths, the minions of Sauron and a malicious willow tree and wicked tomb ghost are the two of them facing numerous obstructions and disappointments.
The party walks the elves along the route and goes into the center of the earth to the cracks of doom to destroy the Ring and foil the scheme of the Dark Lords.
The Lord of the Rings audiobook series challenges the reader or listener in both printed and aural form. It’s not a passive effort. Only this trait is strengthened when we hear the narrative.
It is a lot more philosophical and serious tone I’ve discovered listening to the story… or, at least, my mind wanders along weird roads more than normal.
- Harry Potter Series
Harry Potter science fiction audiobook series is pure magic and sets the standard for the genre. J.K. Rowling turns the traditional concept of young children going to boarding school on its head; normally, we would expect all the exciting things to happen while on vacation – but not this time.
The plot revolves around Harry Potter’s first year at Hogwarts, a school for witches and wizards. We begin a gloomy scene with Harry’s family, the Dursleys (with whom he lives), and Harry’s regular day-to-day hardship living in a muggle (non-magical) household. Everything is confused at this point, and we know very little; nevertheless, everything is going to change, and as listeners, we are about to start on a crazy and intriguing journey.
The Harry Potter audiobook series, which have now become modern classics, never fail to provide comfort and escape to listeners of all ages. The story of the Boy Who Lived continues to enchant generations of new listeners with its message of hope, belonging, and the eternal power of truth and love.
- Extinction Cycle: Dark Age series
Many people are infested, turned into variants, vicious apex predators, who know nothing but violence, following a virus that has penetrated the planet. A fight to kill the diseased animals united nations and finally, people won.
AL` decade thereafter, when a society grows up again, unfortunate forces came together to wipe off humankind once and for all with the surviving versions. The violence and intensity of this series, Narrator R.C. Bray pushes the expertise to new levels.
The Extinction Cycle Scifi audiobook series is an action-packed thriller with intriguing narration to keep you hooked!
For 1 credit, this is the best value on Audible! If you like military science fiction, end of the world as we know it fiction, zombie novels, survival novels, or adrenalin-inducing novels, then you cannot do better than this superbly paced, action-filled Scifi Series.
There is a prevalent misunderstanding that every science fiction is spectacular. It’s all science fiction in a world in which spacecraft travel faster than stars populated by light and magic creatures. While several fine inscriptions into the cosmos of science fiction bend to the rules of what is or is not conceivable in our physical realm. This is fictional or hard science fiction.
It is characterized by rigorous attention to accurate detail in the natural sciences, especially physics, astrophysics, and chemistry, or on accurately depicting worlds that more advanced technology may make possible.
Basically, the stories penned with utmost accuracy of science are derived under this genre of Sci-Fi audiobooks.
Let’s take a closer dig at some of the greatest hard science fiction audiobooks ever!

At first glance, their demands appear benign: unite the planet, eradicate poverty, and put a stop to the violence. But at what price? To those who oppose, it is apparent that the Overlords have their own agenda. Is their arrival the end of humanity… or the beginning?
Best About This Audiobook
“A first-rate tour de force.”—The New York Times

One of the greatest hard sci-fi audiobooks I have ever listened to.

- Parable of the Sower
The award-winner Octavia E. Butler from Hugo and Nebula portrays a breathtaking picture of an all-too-credible future. Parable of the Sower brings shocking visionary and socially realistic themes together as with Kindred and her other critically acknowledged works.
This is the main truth of the Movement of the Earths, the unlikely prophet of which is Lauren Olamina aged 18 years old. The young woman’s journal entries recount her existence in the heavy hell of the gated communities of the 21st century and the drug scrambling pyromaniacs – and show her growing ideology of Earthseed.
A message of hope arises against the background of horror: if we want to embrace divine modifications, we shall live to complete our destiny amid the stars.
Best About This Audiobook
This SciFi storyline was so enchanting and hypnotizing. I couldn’t stop until I reached the end, and then grew upset because I wanted more, I went through every emotion, my eyes swelled up with tears more than once and despite the horrid conditions, there were moments I smiled in joy for Laura.
This hard audiobook makes you go into deep thought of social and environmental problems of today and what our future will look like

Similarly, her pacing is equally great, allowing time for significant pauses when necessary without serious lag. Overall, it is a fantastic story,

- We Are Legion (We Are Bob): Bobiverse
Bob Johansson has recently sold his software firm and looks forward to a happy life. There are places to go, read books and watch movies. So when he murdered himself by crossing the street it’s a bit unjust.
A century later Bob wakes up to find that corpsics were declared unrelated, and he is now state property. The AI is to be the control of an interstellar sample in search of habitable planets. It has been uploaded into computer hardware. There is a big stake: not less than the initial claim to the whole globe.
He’s switched off if he rejects honor, and they’re going to try another person. It becomes a prime target if it accepts. At least three other nations are attempting to get their own samples first started, and they are playing dirty.
Bob is in space safely, at the highest speeds, leaving the Earth. Or that’s how he thought. Because the world is packed with nasties and iniquity makes them insane.
Best About This Audiobook
What follows in We Are Legion is light science fiction fun. It involves enemies from other countries, duplication, 3D printing, colonization, and the human race. I laughed out loud many times listening to this.
Especially with the voice acting from the audiobook. This story lends itself to different voices. There are many, many Bob’s by the end of it. You need to be able to differentiate easily, and even though the writing does help with the differentiation, voice changes from the audiobook speaker help a lot.
