About this listen

A brilliant and breathtakingly vivid tour of the universe, describing the physics of the dangerous, the deadly, and the scary in the cosmos

So you’ve fallen in love with space and now you want to see it for yourself, huh? You want to witness the birth of a star, or visit the black hole at the center of our galaxy? You want to know if there are aliens out there, or how to travel through a wormhole? You want the wonders of the universe revealed before your very eyes?

Well stop, because all that will probably kill you.

From mundane comets in our solar backyard to exotic remnants of the Big Bang, from dying stars to young galaxies, the universe may be beautiful, but it’s treacherous. Through metaphors and straightforward language, How to Die in Space breathes life into astrophysics, unveiling how particles and forces and fields interplay to create the drama in the heavens above us.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I love a science book and was worried this might be a little flippant. I shouldn't have been. Writing as a user guide allowed the author to add wit, and significant personality to the content, creating a more engaging, but no less intelligent read. Hoping the publishers have said yes to the follow up, as I'd love more.

loved the book as it is both informative and entertaining. good narrator too and the physics is explained in a way that it can be easily understood.

Entertaining and educational

Wow, I learnt and laughed so much as a lay astrophysics loving geek. the whole premise of having a horrible space death taught me so much. Really fun book and spoke to make more then other books / documentaries on the cosmos.I will be sure not to get too close to a quasar in my travels. Thank you Paul for making learning fun!

Absolutely brilliant

An excellent listen. Both informative and funny. I couldn’t wait for my drive home to hear the next instalment.

Riveting!

I do love a good book about space, but this one was particularly entertaining with its approach as a joke survival guide. I hope the author's publisher accepts their sequel, "how to die in quantum space". You know, just in case.

Audio quality is perfect, chapter lengths are perfect for an "end of chapter" timeout for bedtime listeners.

A thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating trip through space. Absolutely one of the best popular science books ever. And the author's narration is excellent. Finished it and immediately started listening from the beginning again. Highly recommended.

So enjoyable I'm listening to it again

Great, and if you're in to space science to any degree this is a must but my goodness don't do anything else whilst listening; found myself repeatedly having to rewind to make sure I've got the thread. Performance was decent, a little theatrical in place but kept it light hearted.

Do try and keep up!!

the book is gripping but serves only to peak your curiosity and want of adventure not deter it!

much credit to the narrator as he brings the book to life and I hope to hear him in more in the future especially if how to die in quantum space is green lit !

entertainingly terrifying but does not deter

probably one of the most entertaining books I've read on space so far, just brilliant.
