| Way to get it | Cost | Wait / Keep? |
|---|---|---|
| Free — Libby / Hoopla (library) | Pending | Library availability is checked per title — never assumed |
| Chirp deal (when on offer) | Pending | No wait · yours to keep |
| Audible | 1 credit / check price | No wait · yours to keep |
| Libro.fm | Pending | No wait · yours, supports a bookstore |
| Spotify Premium | Pending — we never guess Spotify inclusion | Stream while subscribed · included hours expire monthly |
Audible cash prices are never hard-coded here: Amazon permits displayed prices only via its API with a timestamp, so this row is always “1 credit / check price”.
Listening note
Released November 5, 2026 — a seven-part full-cast Audible Original audio drama, executive produced by Andy Weir, with sound design by Skywalker Sound in Dolby Atmos and an original score by Rob Cairns. It runs 4 hrs 8 mins, confirmed on the released Audible listing. Anthony Mackie plays Chief Engineer Jeff Shaw, Ariana DeBose plays First Officer Becca Bang, and John Leguizamo plays Science Officer Logan Bowers; Ray Porter voices Pewter, the virtual assistant. Audible's editors made it an Editors Select pick for November. It's an Audible exclusive: no Spotify audiobook page and no Hoopla or Libby/OverDrive listing existed on release day. Audible said its AI Character Guide and an Interactive Story would arrive with Exoplanet on November 5 in a limited US/UK beta, but neither feature is mentioned on the released product page — so we don't claim them as live. The trailer and the first 19 minutes — episode 1, 'Crash' — are listenable now.
