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.

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.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

One of the Best Narrations In the Series
Where does The Thirty-Fathom Grave rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In terms of the Twilight Zone Radio Dramas, this is definitely in the top five. Great story, great atmosphere, and great performances all around.
Which character – as performed by Stacy Keach and Blair Underwood – was your favorite?
This is the first time I heard Blair Underwood's narration and he manages to portray an imposing character in Captain Beecham, but also have a calming voice as well. If I were serving in the military on a submarine, I would certainly hope he was my commanding officer.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
[[Spoiler Alert]]
The fate of Chief Bell was genuinely sad, especially how it was foreshadowed as he agonizing over his past while in the sick bay.

Generic T Z episode. Very average.
Begins as a creepy "what's down there" story. Fizzles out into a not very exciting episode. Not bad, just very very average. Even the usually excellent sound effects fail to impress.
