When the sleepers wake as they approach the planet, the hyper-speed crew have been living there for 300 years already - and they have no clue the ‘sleepers’ are about to arrive.

GASP!
Get used to that, there's a lot of gasping in The Human Frontier. Apart from which, I'll try to keep this spoiler free. What else to expect: non-linear storytelling, ie flashbacks, and flashbacks within flashbacks. In terms of construction, the piece it most closely resembles is Creatures of Beauty, Nick Briggs' much earlier 5th Doctor and Nyssa adventure. Those familiar with modern Big Finish and especially Briggs' masterful audio drama M.O. will relish being kept on their toes in what is undoubtedly an immersive concept album which takes it's pure sci fi thesis and boldly goes with it. It takes a while to really achieve lift off, but of course there's much to learn in the who, why, and when department before we go full warp speed, which is all done with intrigue and of course feeds into the later narrative as we explore our thousand year mission to strange new worlds, new life and new civilizations etc. And it would be remiss not to mention the great Bladerunner-esque soundscape
For the price of an Audible credit (read into that what you will) it's got to be worth jumping on board (note: no bonus material with this Audible version).

Interesting, intriguing but flawed
Interesting story and premise. Acting is generally good, but it is so full of gasps, sighs, panting, heavy breathing! So unnecessary and distracting, especially when the conversations are going on silently in the head of the protagonist. Who pants and gasps when talking to oneself?
The main reveals come only at the end, and there is no time left to explore them… feels
Somewhat unfinished, like there is another chapter to come.
But enjoyable, nevertheless.
