Moonbound
The Moon: a cold, silvery light in the night sky, but it has a dark side. In the year 2087, the Moon isn’t just a cold beacon in the night sky—it’s a battleground of betrayal, rebellion, and ruthless ambition. After the Freemen’s daring escape from the Enlightened League of Nations, the abandoned lunar mines are repurposed into something far more sinister: a subterranean prison known only as The Hole. Enter Ying-Tai, a lethal assassin for the League, wounded but dangerous. When she falls out of favor with her power-hungry boss, Chin-Yau, she’s cast into the depths of the most hellish prison ever devised: The Hole of Moon Mine #9. But Chin-Yau isn’t just a tyrant—he’s a megalomaniac with dreams of ruling an eight-planet empire, and he’s building a starship to do it. Meanwhile, teenage tech prodigy Carl Bogeran uncovers Chin-Yau’s terrifying plan while designing the starship. His fatal mistake? Falling in love with one of Chin-Yau’s concubines. His punishment? A one-way trip to The Hole. Inside this icy abyss, Carl meets Ying-Tai and a crew of unlikely allies—Dexter Simmons, Gekko Nakasone, Tima Dicello, Otis Litch, and James Morstyn—the disgraced former League officer who was The Hole's first resident. Together, they hatch a plan so bold it borders on madness: hijack a starship and escape Chin-Yau's iron grip. Moonbound is a pulse-pounding sci-fi thriller from the Exodus Series by Orson T. Badger. If you crave rebellion, high-stakes heists, and lunar warfare, this science fiction audio drama will leave you breathless.
Episodes
Wounded and running on fumes, the desperate prisoners race to the space elevator, one step closer to freedom. But trouble looms ahead. Ying‑Tai hatches a wild plan to hijack Chin‑Yau’s starship, but not everyone is ready to leap into her firestorm of a strategy, and tensions flare as the elevator nears the ring station. Freedom is close—but still seems out of reach.
Buried beneath the rubble from the last explosion and pinned down by gunfire, hope of escape fades. At any moment, Dex and Gekko expect the mine’s troops to enter the remains of the building. Where is Ying-Tai? Is she still alive? Is it too late to stop the mites?
As the mine’s forces close in, Ying‑Tai risks everything on a final, reckless gamble. Meanwhile, the wounded Dex, Gekko, Tima, Morstyn, and Boog fight on against overwhelming odds as the troopers roll in heavy artillery.
Victorious yet wary, the prisoners climb the escape shaft toward long‑awaited freedom, unaware that the League’s minekeepers intend to exact a final, brutal price before letting their slaves slip away.
The moon mites are stirring as Ying-Tai begins to despair and lose hope. Meanwhile, topside, the mine’s commander, Captain Amos Trankwell, is concerned that the daily quotas have remained unfilled for the past five days. Amos decides to take his troops into the dark to investigate.
Ying-Tai's plan begins to take shape as she climbs high into the shaft of darkness, but the descent could overwhelm even her reserves of strength. As the prisoners put their plan of escape into action, they discover there may be horrifying consequences.
A new inmate to "The Hole" shatters the daily monotony of too short nights and long dark days, breaking rocks deep below the crust of the Moon for the League. The new prisoner brings rare news of events topside, and Ying-Tai dares to hope.
Carl stumbles upon one of Chin-Yau's most fiercely-guarded secrets—a scheme so mind-boggling no one would ever believe it. Unfortunately, Carl isn't the only one who has been discovering desperately-guarded secrets.
Carl's late-afternoon bath is interrupted by a pleasant yet dangerous surprise, while Julong continues to plot his revenge.
At the bottom of the deepest, darkest pit, Ying‑Tai encounters a ragtag band of condemned prisoners. Each carries a past steeped in secrets, yet even among these so‑called bad apples, a few stand out as truly rotten.
Ju‑Long, the egomaniac project manager for Chin‑Yau’s starship program, is on the warpath—his target: Carl Bogeran, the teenage tech prodigy responsible for the ship’s advanced computer systems. When Ju‑Long uncovers a troubling error code in the system, he confronts Carl head‑on, sparking a clash between ego and raw genius.
Meanwhile, Ying‑Tai discovers just how disposable she is to her former employer. Cast aside...
Targeted by Chin‑Yau’s simmering disappointment, Ying‑Tai suddenly finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a quiet but calculated plot to remove her. Yet whatever nightmares she has imagined, none come close to the hellish horror awaiting her at one of the League’s most fiercely guarded secret locations.
The operation balances on the edge of a knife as Ying-Tai enters the lair of the League's supreme leader, Arliss Ross. However, danger lurks at every turn, and a nasty surprise is yet to come.
Ying‑Tai leads a covert strike team up a 3,200‑foot megastructure in a night‑blackened city, navigating lethal security systems to carry out the first phase of Chin-Yau's plan to eliminate any internal disloyalty and set the stage to become the most powerful ruler on Earth.
In the scorched wastelands of 2082, the Enlightened World Empire hides a brutal secret behind its polished political façade. Though the Enhanced Duplicate Combat Personnel Program was officially shut down years earlier, its engineered soldiers—“duplicates”—are still being bred, bought, and pitted against one another in lethal trials known only to the elite.
One of them is Triple 7, a raven‑haired duplicate wh...
