About the book:
In the farthest reaches of a war-torn galaxy, a military transport cruiser barrels toward a supermassive black hole. The crew has vanished. The security drones have gone haywire. And the ship has flown light years off-course. It falls to a single passenger to decide the fate of this doomed voyage: A stowaway tucked into a pocket of the ship’s hull. Unfortunately for the reader, YOU are that stowaway.

It’s your turn to sit at the table with your friendly neighborhood Game Master Griffin McElroy as he guides you down paths both hilarious and harrowing. Can you evade deadly robots, find the missing crew, and escape the ship before it reaches its final, fatal destination? Or will the Astral Order get you first?

The Moderator for this event will be Aaron Mahnke.

Aaron began his career in 2015 with the launch of Lore, which quickly topped the charts and gained national attention. Over the years since, Lore has racked up over 800-million downloads, been adapted for television on Amazon, and been published as a three-book collection from Del Rey / Penguin Random House.

Aaron has since gone on to found Grim & Mild Entertainment, a podcast production company devoted to historical-yet-entertaining storytelling. Along the way he has created and executive produced a number of other hit podcasts, including Cabinet of Curiosities, Noble Blood, and Unobscured.

Most recently Aaron has added a number of fiction projects to his body of work, including the annual horror anthology podcast 13 Days of Halloween (starring Keegan-Michael Key, Kathy Najimy, Clancy Brown, and more), and the breakout hit (and 2021 “Best Fiction Podcast” winner at the iHeart Podcast Awards) Bridgewater, starring Misha Collins (Supernatural), Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Rogue One), and Melissa Ponzio (Teen Wolf). https://www.aaronmahnke.com/
