    Clem Bianchi's next job takes them to Mimas, where reclusive author Miriam Autom is typing away at her next soon-to-be smash hit.

With the author impossible to extract from her office, the trio of couriers embarks on an old-fashioned ghost hunt.

Funny, with substance

I haven't been hooked on a sci fi audio drama like this since Wolf 359! This strikes a similar balance of humor and gravity. The acting is impeccable and the mixing and music are fantastic! Can't wait for more!

DanielVegetable ,

One of the most interesting narrative podcasts

A great audio drama! Feels alive. Would love more someday.
