About this listen

Wanderer Universe (stand-alone story)

An ancient, unsolved mystery. Everyone wants to survive. Everyone wants answers.

The Outer Layer is an enigma to its residents. Representatives from countless races and civilizations wander the many territories, hoping to unlock the secrets and progress further into its depths.

An anomaly has been detected in space by an artefact from an extinct civilization. Ciqalo, a machine intelligence from the Wanderer civilization, is tasked with investigating and weaponizing the anomaly for a galactic war.

Tolren, playmate to the heirs of a powerful Roranian family, becomes a hunted fugitive. He finds himself thrust into a dangerous adventure aboard a structure in space that defies understanding. What’s more, he’s not alone. Seremend, a fellow Roranian, has also been ensnared.

Why have they all been chosen?

A stand-alone novel from the Wanderer Universe.

Cerebral sci-fi with an emphasis on the "Sci". If you enjoy hard sci-fi, complex space opera, and authors such as Iain M. Banks, Alastair Reynolds, and Dan Simmons, then this is for you.

I loved this story. Time travel, technolgy beyond our current comprehension makes this an intriguing tale to listen to. I will need to listen to it again a few times as it is a complex plot, but has led me to buy the book and others that James Munro has done. I won't spoil anything, you need to listen for yourself. Perfect for a sci-fi lover like myself. Thank you James!

The narrator expertly brings you into the world of James Murdo, I felt like I was there along with the characters. He cleverly tailors his voices to give life to each character, narration flow is steady throughout. Some narrators can come across as boring for me, however, The Voice Of Nick keeps his flow throughout and to me, sounds like he enjoys reading it out to us as much as we enjoy listening or reading for ourselves. Look forward to more from the narrator.

When I originally read this book in 2019, I loved it. It's a book you have to really focus on. No distractions if you truly want to be absorbed in the story. I was blessed to come upon this audiobook, though, and having it being narrated opened up a whole new vision of the story that I had not realized I was losing out on by just reading it. Listening to the story helped my mind envision things much more clearly. Even parts that I thought I had understood, became crystal clear and I would rewind to hear it again. The narrator was perfect in bringing clarity to the story and life to each character. James Murdo has a fascinating imagination! Thank you, sir, for helping to expand my mind. I'm in awe!

Murdo’s Long Paradise is a pleasure to listen to. This book is a mind bending gymnasium of thought provoking sci-fi that is intense, intelligent and served beautifully with each anticipated chapter. Murdo draws you skilfully into his universe with dynamic elegant writing and paints a rich and detailed landscape that leaves a lasting impression on his audience. The narrative is also excellent and I was amazed by the talent of The Voice of Nick who, surfing Murdo’s writing, sets the scene for a truly wonderful piece of story telling. I highly recommend that you treat yourself to Long Paradise, you will not be disappointed. Put simply this is great sci-fi.

An unforgettable kaleidoscopic trip into great sci-fi

An enjoyable and interesting hard science fiction story. The writing is excellent and the story complex, it took me a while to get my head around it but in the end everything comes together to a satisfactory conclusion. Excellent narration make this an enjoyable listening experience.

I enjoyed this book, but I do agree with another review that you need to listen to it uninterrupted, because it is easy to lose track. It is worth it though. Also loved the names for some reason. A few got a chuckle out of me.
The narration is on point and suits the material. So overall a good audiobook!
