Orphans of the Sky Audiobook (Free)

Shed in Space

Hugh had been taught that, based on the ancient sacred writings, the Ship was on a voyage to faraway Centaurus. But he also recognized this was simply allegory for any voyage to spiritual perfection. Certainly, how could the Ship move, since its miles and kilometers of steel corridors were all there was of creation? Research knew the Dispatch was all of the world, and as long as the sacred Converter was fed, the lighting would continue to glow, the air would flow, and the Creator’s Program about Orphans of the Sky will be fulfilled.

Of course, there were the muties, grotesquely deformed parodies of individuals, who lurked in the upper reaches of the Ship, where gravity was weaker. Had been they bad incarnate, or only a divine check on the population, keeping humanity from expanding at night capacity of the Ship to aid?

Then Hugh was captured from the muties and met their innovator (or market leaders)-Joe-Jim, with two heads using one body-and learned the true nature from the Ship and its mission between your superstars. But could he make his people believe him before it was too late? Could he make them think that he should be allowed to take flight the Ship?
