Description

Case Damon, a charismatic rocket‑jockey turned space‑explorer, has just settled into a sky‑high apartment in San Francisco and married his beloved Karin. Their honeymoon mood is light, full of jokes about theater tickets and plans to mine uranium on distant worlds. Yet the calm of their near‑future city masks a world on the edge of something extraordinary.

That calm shatters when a frantic government transmission warns that a blinding, city‑destroying force has ripped New York from the sky. With a sealed speeder, a private hangar, and his own daring instincts, Case must decide whether to abandon his personal bliss for a desperate rescue mission. The story thrusts listeners into a race against mysterious cosmic danger, blending heartfelt romance with hard‑boiled sci‑fi action. As the first act unfolds, the stakes rise and the mystery of the sky‑born blast invites endless speculation.
