About this listen

A brilliant and breathtakingly vivid tour of the universe, describing the physics of the dangerous, the deadly, and the scary in the cosmos

So you’ve fallen in love with space and now you want to see it for yourself, huh? You want to witness the birth of a star, or visit the black hole at the center of our galaxy? You want to know if there are aliens out there, or how to travel through a wormhole? You want the wonders of the universe revealed before your very eyes?

Well stop, because all that will probably kill you.

From mundane comets in our solar backyard to exotic remnants of the Big Bang, from dying stars to young galaxies, the universe may be beautiful, but it’s treacherous. Through metaphors and straightforward language, How to Die in Space breathes life into astrophysics, unveiling how particles and forces and fields interplay to create the drama in the heavens above us.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I do love a good book about space, but this one was particularly entertaining with its approach as a joke survival guide. I hope the author's publisher accepts their sequel, "how to die in quantum space". You know, just in case.

Audio quality is perfect, chapter lengths are perfect for an "end of chapter" timeout for bedtime listeners.

An entertaining listen

the book is gripping but serves only to peak your curiosity and want of adventure not deter it!

much credit to the narrator as he brings the book to life and I hope to hear him in more in the future especially if how to die in quantum space is green lit !

entertainingly terrifying but does not deter

A thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating trip through space. Absolutely one of the best popular science books ever. And the author's narration is excellent. Finished it and immediately started listening from the beginning again. Highly recommended.

So enjoyable I'm listening to it again
