Solitude: Dimension Space Book One

★ Winner Listeners Choice Award—Best Science Fiction

A Global Rift in Space-Time. All Living Beings Gone Save Two Humans. An Impossible Rescue Mission.

(Run Time: 8:50)

Vaughn Singleton never imagined that a routine visit to NASA's most secretive facility would thrust him into a nightmare. Trapped in a world where all of humanity has vanished, Vaughn struggles to survive, haunted by the cryptic message he received moments before the world went dark. Somewhere out there, alone in the vastness of space, astronaut Angela Brown witnesses the same devastating event — a life-stealing wave of light originating from CERN's Large Hadron Collider.

As Vaughn crosses a desolate Earth, fighting off depression and alcoholism, his unexpected discovery of Angela's survival on the International Space Station sets off a daring plan. Against all odds, Vaughn races to reach her, soaring into space with a hastily retrofitted craft that's barely space worthy. But even if they can make it back to Earth together, the mysteries lurking beneath the surface are far from solved. What wiped out humanity? Why is gravity itself behaving strangely around Geneva? And what are the ominous structures rising from the ground manipulated by unseen forces?

What Vaughn and Angela uncover could shatter everything they know about the universe. Yet, the greatest dangers lie ahead as their quest reveals that they are not as alone as they thought — and something far worse than extinction is looming.

Dean M. Cole (Author), a reclusive caffeine junkie and author from Texas, formerly a combat helicopter pilot and now an airline pilot, writes science fiction novels. As an aviation enthusiast, he lives out his dreams of space adventures in his books, since physics and budgets stand in the way in real life. His stories are full of techno-jargon and action. Between flights, he translates these into German, drawn to the challenge of weaving long words into convoluted sentences. Despite his success, he fears his characters may one day become self-aware and choose safer career paths.

From Outer Space to the Old West to a Post-Apocalyptic Hellscape, R.C. Bray (Narrator) is an expert guide. He is also a narrator. Bray switches settings and characters as seamlessly as a maturated Humphead Wrasse switches sex and color. No matter the genre, whether it be a story about human kindness and barbarism; a combat veteran’s struggle to cope with life at home; or saving the world armed with only a juice box and a snarky beer can, Bray utilizes his extraordinary range and unique vocal differentiation for each character to confuse publishers into thinking his consistent inability to meet a deadline is not only a good thing, but was their idea in the first place.

With over 400 audiobooks narrated, R.C. is the recipient of many industry accolades including the coveted Audie Award for his narration of one of the bestselling audiobooks in history which is no longer available because… money.

R.C.’s gorgeous wife, Hope, along with their three beautiful children, Joy, Bliss, and Valor, allow him to continue living with them provided the checks keep coming.
