Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has surpassed $700 million at the global box office since its release in the UK on 17 July, and many have come out of the cinema wanting to know the epic story in full.
Audible has an offer running making that affordable to achieve.
Get an Audible membership at 99p a month for three months (usually £5.99/month)
New members can get three months of membership for 99p a month, with the offer closing on Monday 24 August.
That works out at £2.97 for the entire three months.
Each of those months comes with a credit, covering any single audiobook on the site – including Odyssey , narrated by Stephen Fry and described as being “for everyone who enjoyed the film and has questions”.
Membership also opens up the Plus Catalogue, a rotating library of audiobooks, Audible Originals and podcasts you can stream free.
It all runs through the Audible app across phones, tablets and smart speakers, suiting a commute or an hour of washing up.
We’ve gone through the service in more detail in our , if you want the zoomed-out view before committing.
Writer Kieran Ahuja gave the service 9.5/10, mentioning specifically how much he liked the “star-studded bank of exclusive content for Audible members”.

Fry’s Odyssey is a retelling rather than a translation – the fourth and final volume of the Greek myths series that started with Mythos, and it runs to around 10 hours and 36 minutes.
He reads it himself, which is really the selling point of the audiobook.
It’s chatty, digressive and frequently very funny, though purists should know how far it strays from the poem.
If you want Homer proper, the Robert Fagles translation read by Ian McKellen is on Audible too, and a credit covers that just as well.
The Audible offer ends on Monday 24 August, which gives you three weeks to take advantage.
After the three discounted months, membership renews at the standard monthly rate, and you can cancel monthly.
