What it is
In an alternate America, JFK survived—and didn’t just win the Space Race. He never stopped.
Now it’s 1972, and JFK’s ever-expanding space empire is ripping holes in space-time itself—erasing people, places, and entire histories from existence.
The only ones who might be able to stop him? Nancy Kranick (Emmy nominee Natasha Lyonne), a former moon nurse lying low in Hoboken, New Jersey… and Richard Nixon, tangled in a conspiracy so bizarre it stretches from the Moon to a Shakey’s Pizza to a parallel-universe Watergate.
As JFK tightens his grip on an Empire of the Stars, Nancy and Nixon must reunite and track down the fragments of a mysterious, reality-warping metal—hidden across space, time, and alternate dimensions—before history is rewritten for good.
From Emmy-winning writer Bill Oakley (The Simpsons, Futurama, Portlandia), Space: 1972 is a bigger, stranger, and more gloriously off-the rails sequel to the hit Audible Original Space: 1969.
Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.
