Alpha Wave

Humanity's genetically enhanced super soldiers lie dormant in hidden facilities across the galaxy, their existence fading into legend after centuries of peaceful slumber. These "Sleepers" were humanity's secret weapon against an alien invasion generations ago, but when victory came, they were quietly put away and forgotten. Now the aliens have broken their surrender and conquered human space in a devastating coordinated strike, leaving scattered survivors desperate for salvation. Lexi Chow, descendant of a war hero, believes the sleeping warriors can be awakened to fight again, but finding them proves only the beginning of a much darker mystery about what these enhanced soldiers have become during their long hibernation.

Ray Porter delivers a commanding performance that captures both the epic scope of this galactic conflict and the intimate struggles of characters caught between hope and desperation. His versatile voice work distinguishes the diverse cast of rebels, soldiers, and aliens while maintaining the tension that drives this military science fiction thriller forward across nearly twenty hours of runtime. Porter's pacing perfectly balances the story's explosive action sequences with its quieter character moments, allowing listeners to fully absorb the complex world-building that Maberry and Ochse have crafted. The audio format enhances the cinematic quality of the battle scenes and alien encounters.
