## Summary

Andy Weir is executive producer of *Exoplanet*, a new time-travel survival thriller written by Benjamin Percy and due to launch exclusively on Audible on 5 November. Its immersive, full-cast audio format follows a starship crew scattered across different eras on one planet, making communication central to their efforts to survive.

Starring Anthony Mackie, Ariana DeBose and John Leguizamo, the crew must help one another while an alien intelligence hunts them and seeks to manipulate the future using human technology. Weir, known for *The Martian* and *Project Hail Mary*, said the story’s centuries-long communication gap kept him thinking; both earlier novels also feature characters trying to reach people far away.
