About this listen
The world ends not with a bang, but a whimper—the whimper of dying engines 30,000 feet above the earth.
When an EMP rips across the globe, plunging civilization into darkness, a Boeing 747 carrying John, a war-scarred veteran, hurtles from the sky. He survives the crash, but his real battle has just begun.
Stranded in the Canadian wilderness with a handful of survivors, including the resourceful Sarah and a young girl named Ava who's lost everything, John must navigate a world stripped bare. No technology. No communication. Only the primal instincts to survive.
As they fight to find their way home, whispers of a new world order emerge. A chilling vision of a society built on control, where those deemed “essential” thrive, and the rest are left to fight for scraps.
Faced with impossible choices and pursued by a threat both human and inhuman, John, Sarah, and Ava must decide: How far will they go to survive? And what will they sacrifice to reclaim their freedom in a world that's lost its humanity?
Crashing Skys is a gripping post-apocalyptic thriller that explores the limits of human resilience, the fragility of civilization, and the enduring power of hope in the face of unimaginable darkness.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
