Warning:
Altering the list of MP3s may affect subscribers to the podcast. (Subscribers progress through the MP3s by their position alone, so adding a new file near the top, or swapping the position of two files, may cause a listener to receive the same episode twice.) The only safe way to add a new MP3 is to add it to the end of the list.

A BBC Radio adaptation of Michel Faber's science-fiction masterpiece, starring Dougray Scott, Joe Armstrong and Hayley Atwell. Peter is a devoted husband and man of faith who is called to the mission of a lifetime - one that takes him galaxies away from his wife, Beatrice. Hired as a preacher by an enigmatic corporation called USIC, he must leave behind everything he loves to travel to the distant planet of Oasis, where the company has its base. The native inhabitants - a gentle, peaceable community - welcome Peter to their settlement and are eager to hear the teachings of the Bible, which they call The Book of Strange New Things. As he becomes acquainted with his new flock, he tells them about where he has come from and shows them photos of life on Earth. But in his absence, climate change has wreaked devastation on Peter's home planet. Letters from his wife tell of food shortages, natural disasters and societal breakdown - and as survival on Earth becomes more and more difficult, the distance between Peter and Beatrice grows ever vaster. As their relationship is put under increasing strain, can they find a way to reconnect with each other?
