    On the topic of Will Wheaton narrating audiobooks, do I understand correctly that the version of The Martian narrated by R.C. Bray is no longer available to purchase on Audible and is now replaced by one done by Wheaton?

        The real weird thing is the cover art provided with the R. C. Bray version published by Podium Publishing is the movie poster with Matt Damon’s face on it, the current version narrated by Wheaton uses the original book cover of space suit b/w orange.
