The recording
The narrator, Ray Porter, reads the whole book on his own. Rocky, the alien engineer, speaks in musical notes, and the recording plays them as sound effects. In the printed book Rocky's language is only described; in the audiobook you hear it. Audible's editor review says the story has to be heard.
Why it ranks here
Two Audie wins and the most ratings on this list. The novel was a 2022 Hugo finalist. It ties with Dune and wins on ratings.
Good to know: A standalone. Audible says some text was changed for the audio edition, with Andy Weir's approval.

The recording
Audible and the Audie Awards both list Scott Brick first, followed by eleven other readers, including Orlagh Cassidy, Euan Morton and Simon Vance. Neither says who reads which part. The recording was also a 2008 Audie finalist for multi-voiced performance, which is the award for audiobooks read by a cast.
Why it ranks here
An Audie win, 4.7 stars from 127,175 ratings, and a novel that won the first Nebula and shared the 1966 Hugo.
Good to know: The printed book ends with a glossary and four appendices, so the ebook helps with the invented terms.

The recording
Jefferson White reads the whole book, unabridged. Haymitch Abernathy tells the story in the first person, in order, as he is sent into the 50th Hunger Games, the second Quarter Quell. One narrator telling one character's story suits the way the book is written. The other prequel has a different narrator, Santino Fontana.
Why it ranks here
The newest Audiobook of the Year, with 4.8 stars from 35,722 ratings. It is a young adult prequel that ranks on its recording.
Good to know: The Hunger Games runs to five books and 62 hours 1 minute on Audible US, with Tatiana Maslany reading books 1 to 3.

World War Z: The Complete Edition

The recording
The book is written as interviews with survivors of a war against zombies, and different actors read different interviews. The Complete Edition joins the 2006 recording, which won the same Audie in 2007, with new recordings of the interviews it left out. Audible says this adds five more hours of material.
Why it ranks here
Two Audie wins, one for each recording, and the largest named cast here. It has 4.6 stars from 26,510 ratings.
Good to know: Audible lists the Complete Edition as abridged, so it is not every word of the printed book. An unabridged recording, read by Christopher Ragland and others, runs 13 hours 56 minutes.

The recording
The printed book is a file of hacked documents: emails, chat messages, medical reports, interviews and maps. In the audiobook, a cast of 11 named actors and more performs these documents as voices. The printed book's layout, which is part of how the story is told, does not carry over.
Why it ranks here
An Audie win and a named full cast, but only 4,806 Audible US ratings, so it ranks below World War Z.
Good to know: Book 1 of 3. The counterpoint: the printed book's design is part of the story, and an audiobook cannot show it.

Jason Isaacs reads the whole story. It is told by one voice speaking to the main character, so you only hear one side of the conversation. AudioFile, quoted on the Audible listing, describes his voice as "the perfect mix of insistent, pedantic, and scornful" and says the story "is truly best enjoyed on audio".

| Recording honours | Audie win scores highest, then Audie finalist, then an AudioFile Earphones Award or a best-of-year pick |
|---|---|
| Production | A documented strength, such as sound design, a named cast or specific praise from a named reviewer |
| Listeners | Audible US rating and number of ratings, as of the date shown |
| The book | Hugo, Nebula and Arthur C. Clarke awards, or a long-standing place in the genre |
Each measure scores 0 to 3, so every recording is out of 12. Ties go to the recording with more ratings. Dramatisations are listed separately because they adapt the text.
