NecroTek

When a catastrophic experiment hurls Asphodel Station far from Jupiter's orbit into uncharted space, cosmic philosopher Lars Soren, ace pilot Bianca Petrescu, and high priestess Jessica McHugh find themselves facing humanity's worst nightmare. Their arrival has awakened ancient eldritch horrors that exist beyond human comprehension, and these cosmic entities are now mobilizing their Shoggoth armies toward Earth. The survivors' only hope lies on the alien world of Shadderal, where a ghostly being called Lost guards the remnants of a dead civilization. These derelict spacecraft represent humanity's last chance for survival, but they come with a terrifying price: only the spirits of the dead can pilot them.

Ray Porter delivers a powerhouse performance that transforms Maberry's cosmic horror into an immersive audio experience. His vocal range effortlessly shifts between the philosophical musings of desperate survivors and the otherworldly menace of entities beyond mortal understanding. Porter's pacing builds tension expertly through quiet character moments before exploding into visceral space combat sequences. The audio format particularly enhances the story's blend of hard science fiction and supernatural dread, as Porter's narration makes the impossible technology and necromantic elements feel both scientifically plausible and genuinely unsettling.
