About This Audiobook

Invisible barriers suddenly materialize across Earth, slicing through landscapes and bringing civilization to a halt when vehicles and aircraft collide with the impenetrable walls. As humanity scrambles to understand these mysterious phenomena known as "the Glass," strange effects begin manifesting in certain individuals, including a father's young daughter who develops troubling new abilities. Detective Drake partners with journalist Britt while small-town residents Peggy and Will find themselves thrust into escalating danger as the barriers' true purpose becomes clear. The survivors face an impossible choice: remain trapped in their fractured world or venture beyond the Glass into whatever lies on the other side.

R.C. Bray delivers a powerfully immersive performance that brings Nathan Hystad's sprawling science fiction epic to vivid life across more than thirty hours of audio. Bray's commanding voice captures both the intimate family dynamics and the global scale of the crisis, seamlessly transitioning between multiple character perspectives while maintaining distinct vocal identities for each protagonist. His measured pacing allows the mounting tension and mysterious revelations to build naturally, while his clear articulation ensures complex sci-fi concepts remain accessible throughout this complete series collection.
