About this listen
The Aurora Initiative
In the vast expanse of the galaxy, humanity’s survival hangs by a thread.
When the Aurora’s Hope crew awakens in the shadow of a galactic anomaly known as the Eclipse, they discover a universe on the brink of annihilation. The Silence, a relentless cosmic force, is spreading, consuming stars, and unraveling the very fabric of existence.
Led by Captain Hawk, a seasoned commander haunted by sacrifice, and aided by a fractured team of scientists, engineers, and explorers, the crew embarks on a desperate mission to retrieve a lost weapon—the only hope of stopping The Silence. Along the way, they unravel the secrets of the Chorus, an ancient civilization that once stood against this apocalyptic force and failed.
But the deeper they delve into the Chorus’s legacy, the more they realize the cost of wielding such power. With alliances strained and trust tested, the crew must navigate hostile planets, Voidling swarms, and the echoes of a haunting truth: not all enemies come from beyond the stars.
As the Eclipse grows, their time dwindles. The fate of countless worlds depends on their ability to harmonize their fractured unity and face the ultimate question: what will they sacrifice to save the galaxy?
For fans of epic space operas like Dune and The Expanse, The Aurora Initiative is a gripping tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring fight for hope in the face of cosmic extinction.

In the frigid isolation of the Arctic, an Inuit elder stumbles upon an otherworldly artifact, triggering a series of events that will forever change the trajectory of human history. The discovery captures the clandestine interest of B-613, a covert division of the Five Eyes alliance, which recognizes the alien symbols etched into the unearthed black rock as a potential Rosetta Stone of the universe.

Story
In a universe where a being’s very existence is a game and its players tussle for power, Earth is the latest battleground, but for Titus and his friends, the stakes are very real. Earth’s future hangs in the balance and power beyond imagining waits to be seized. When the System came, it ravaged Earth, destroying everything Humankind had built and killing billions in a matter of days. For those few that survived, like Titus, it was like living in a hellscape.

Story
Sector General: a massive deep-space hospital station on the Galactic Rim, where human and alien medicine meet. It's 384 levels and thousands of staff members are supposedly able to meet the needs of any conceivable alien patient–though that capacity is always being strained as more (and stranger) alien races turn up to join the galactic community. Sentient viruses, interspecies romances, undreamed-of institutional catering problems–it all lands on Sector General's doorstep.

Story
Maxim Volt worked very hard NOT to become the local madman. He didn’t plot doom upon his enemies (even when they deserved it). He didn’t stitch together monsters with parts 'recycled' from the local graveyard. Why, he barely allowed himself a maniacal laugh or two! And yet, he still somehow ended up getting kicked out of university, banished from the family estate, and inheriting a decrepit castle high in the mountains of Eastern Europe, complete with a spooky but devoted maid.

Story
The artifact we found on Vesta changed everything. Sure, we were able to patent the new technologies we managed to reverse engineer, and make a hefty sum. But we could never have anticipated where these discoveries would eventually lead. The board of directors still wants to see what we come back with, but those of us on the ship know that there's something far more significant than Hegemony credits out here. And we have to do it right by humanity.

Story
The System is here! Most of the population of the planet were suddenly turned into zombies, while the rest acquired new abilities. Abilities that let them run from the zombies, save themselves, hide, and try to survive. But it only takes one bite that almost always means death. Our hero was standing in line when the apocalypse came. He was lucky at first to be caught in a crowd when the zombies tried to bite him on the leg. Really lucky, because those trials unlocked new abilities for him.
