Publisher's summary

Awarded Readers' Favorite Bronze Medal for Best Fiction 2022

They banned him from space. But someone has offered him a way back. Can he afford the price? Famed engineer and test pilot Jericho Fox has been grounded for reasons he'd rather put behind him. But a political leader from a rival party offers to send him back to space.

Fox finds himself stuck between working for the enemy and doing what he loves again. Meanwhile, high above Earth on Astraea Station, decorated astrophysicist Dr. Evelyn Park is on the verge of a scientific breakthrough that could make history.

All she needs is for people and equipment to stop bungling things up. Getting both to cooperate will prove harder than she expects. From best-selling novelist Christopher Hopper, who brought you Imperium Descent, Ruins of the Earth, and Ruins of the Galaxy, and with the voice talents of Rebecca Woods and Daniel Wisniewski, comes a new hard scifi space thriller that fans say is "next in line to The Expanse."

A masterpiece of SciFi

Christopher Hopper has out done himself in this solo piece that any fan of Science Fiction will love. He has flawlessly created an interesting and not or too far in the future post climate tragedy universe filled with fascinating political caste systems and very believable characters, with often fanatical belief systems, within those groups all fighting to save humanity ( or the planet Earth ) in extreme ways.The story is told from unique perspectives of multiple characters. The narration of Woods and Wisniewski is captivating. My only complaint is I have to wait for book 2.

Jericho Fox YASS

The voice threw me off at first, but by the end of it, I'm totally fangirling this character lmao. Also really good space opera story line, I'm always looking for books to scratch the The Expanse itch, I'll be reading the next one.

Outstanding!!!

If you want to read the next best sci-fi opera here it is!
Christopher Hopper takes you on a ride unlike any other you have listened to before. The actors Rebecca Woods and Daniel Wisniewski do a fantastic job bringing these characters to life. This is by far the best book I have listened to this year. This audiobook had me laughing out load one minute and weeping the next, I can’t say enough about this. If you are debating the next book you want to listen to the debate is over buy this one and listen to it. You will thank yourself afterwards. Absolutely Outstanding!!!

Simply an amazing adventure through and through

Christopher Hopper has quickly become one of my favorite authors his world building is great and can take you somewhere new any second. One of the best thing I love about his books are the warmth he builds in the relationships between characters and Oblivion Awaits is no exception! He makes you root for your favorites and I can not wait to see where he takes the story next!

A smart intriguing story

First time reading this author and found his approach to be very smart and intelligent. He treats the reader with respect and the story is very engaging. Phenomenal character development without being boring. Love Jericho, Kit, and Evelyn.

The different first person narratives mixed with a 2nd person Jack is captivating and not common but helps this story progress very well.

Stories converge excellently and pacing is great. Awesome reveals at the end too.

Narration is the best I have ever heard. Truly amazed at these two narrators.

Can’t wait for the sequel.

WOW ADD 2 NEW FAV VOICE ARTIST

Absolutely loved this. I will admit I am a bit biased as Chris has become one of my favorite authors. I was apprehensive in starting as I have been spoiled having RC Bray narrating the Christopher's books to this point.
Well Rebecca Woods and Daniel Wisniewski did one hell of a job. They not only brought the book to life, but also made you feel Christopher's heart
I anxiously await the next in this series.

Great story, incredible narration.

in line with Hopper's other work, this story manages to be fascinating, thought provoking and exciting, with occasional bursts of humor, all in one book. The narrators do an excellent job with great energy and strong character differentiation. it's a great listen and I'm happy that more is coming!
