The Bookseller of Mars — Gaby Brogan

In the wake of Earth's apocalypse, a hardened group of survivors has settled on Mars. Melanie lives on the fringes of this violent new society, her little sanctuary visited only by settlers coming to request rewrites of their favorite books from Earth. Until, two young boys show up one day, and she is forced to choose between her comfortable life and helping them face a looming threat.

Narrated by host Matt Gomez.
