Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was thoroughly engaged by Beyond Apollo's unsettling narrative and Thomas Fawley's skilled narration. The way Fawley conveys Evans' growing unease and eventual breakdown is impressive, making it easy to become fully invested in the protagonist's twisted world. The pacing is well-handled, with the 6-hour runtime feeling just right for the story's unfolding complexities. One minor quibble is that some of the supporting characters feel a bit underdeveloped, but this is largely overshadowed by the focus on Evans' inner turmoil. My other criticism is that the ending feels somewhat abrupt, leaving a few loose threads. Nonetheless, Beyond Apollo is a thought-provoking and haunting listen that fans of psychological sci-fi will appreciate.
