This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome author Scott A. Young to discuss Fabricants, the explosive second installment in The Manifold Series — and the audiobook is narrated by our own Tim Andrews.
After awakening from stasis on a galaxy-crossing colony mission, commanders Trapp and Bretta discover something terrifying: hundreds of Fabricants — the colony’s synthetic workforce — have been neatly disassembled into lifeless piles. The survivors? Violent. Unstable. Rogue.
Tim also shares what it’s like narrating high-stakes sci-fi — finding the voice of commanders, synthetic beings, and galaxy-spanning tension inside a recording booth.
Then we expand the conversation into the larger audiobook boom — sparked by recent buzz around Stephen King’s upcoming Talisman trilogy finale — and why more readers are choosing to listen instead of read.
If you’re into The Expanse, Blake Crouch-style paranoia, or smart sci-fi that asks whether humanity is destined to be destroyed by its own creations — this episode is for you.
