A Better Paradise Vol. One: An Aftermath arrives in print, ebook and audiobook on Oct. 14. Ray Porter will narrate after building admiration among audiobook aficionados for work on books such as Andy Weir's Project Hail Marry. Onscreen, he's known for playing Darkseid in Zack Snyder's Justice League. A Better Paradise is set in a near future, telling the story of the creation of an ambitious, addictive video game from inventor and psychologist Dr. Mark Tyburn. As the advance technology the team created begins to deliver disturbing twists, the team fell apart amid strange circumstances, only for the super-intelligence inside the game to be left dormant, until now.

As co-founder of Rockstar, he was a key force behind the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption series, before he exited the company in 2020. "I have loved audiobooks for many years and am an avid Audible listener. I am honored to partner with Audible on A Better Paradise and am grateful to legendary narrator Ray Porter for bringing this story to life," said Houser. Added Porter: "This book has everything a reader could possibly ask for-interesting and complicated characters, a sense of foreboding balanced with humor, and a brilliantly executed story that keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting more. It is a privilege to narrate it." A Better Paradise hails from Absurd Ventures, the company Houser launched in 2023 to develop new properties with an eye on TV, film, novels and games.
