An unseen signal crackles to life in a dusty New York laboratory, delivering a vivid dispatch from the Red Planet. The message comes from Ulysses Paxton, a former Earth soldier who now serves as a trusted aide on Barsoom, and it tells of a daring mission to save Princess Sanoma Tora from a hidden city beneath the twin moons. Hadron of Hastor pilots an experimental invisible craft, hoping its stealth will outwit the deadly force known only as “The Death.”
The rescue plan forces Hadron into a maze of concealed tunnels, hostile cannibals, and a brilliant but unhinged mastermind who created the very technology meant to protect the princess. Along the way he confronts uncanny hazards that test his ingenuity and courage, while the fate of the Martian realm hangs in the balance. Listeners are drawn into a classic sci‑fi adventure where bravery, invention, and the unknown collide under an alien sky.
