Discuss Awake on the Sparkler Monthly forums: sparklermonthly.com/forums/forum/public/awake-discussion/

Several hundred years in the future, colonizing ships send tens of thousands of people to start a new life on earth-like planets in different solar systems; all passengers are cryogenically frozen for the duration of the 1,000-year voyage. The ships aren’t fully automated, however--they need human crews to keep the machinery running and to act as a failsafe to wake the real crew if something goes wrong. For people who can’t afford the high cost of buying fare on the ship, they can pay their way as part of the crew: ten years on the crew equals passage for one person. These individuals are taken out of cryogenic sleep once, left awake to work their years, and then are frozen again. People are woken in staggered shifts--a full crew is six “awake” people at one time.

600 years into the voyage, Hina Hwan is woken to work her half of the thirty years needed to pay the fare of her fiancee and his young daughter. But she swiftly learns that the only thing worse than six people isolated in space...is six people and an unidentified corpse.

Please note: Awake is recommended for listeners aged 16+ due to crude language and adult themes.
