IMPERIAL NOVA is the traumatic story of international tensions, political hate and a desperate attempt at creating world peace. With a previous peace mission in ruins, seemingly sabotaged, can a final crew of convicted criminals pull together long enough to make it home - and convince multiple dictatorships to lay down their arms.
Inspired by the likes of Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica, Imperial Nova is a tale that goes from despair to hope - with trials beyond which most wouldn't survive. Originally a novel trilogy from 2014 (and based on a theatre play), Imperial Nova has been completely rewritten from scratch to make the most of the audio drama format without losing the cinematic elements that make it so powerful.
