“Isaac Steele and the Forever Man,” written and narrated by Daniel Rigby, is a bonkers ride through a cosmos where bureaucratic chaos meets outlandish adventure. I read a few reviews before going into this one, and the one thing I

Another great collection of short stories! I enjoyed the first a lot so was rather excited when the author reached out to let me know that the second volume was now available on Audible. Like the first, this is a
