Citadel of the Star Lords

A down‑and‑out pilot named Price finds himself on the run after smuggling a notorious revolutionary across the U.S.–Mexico border. Hunted by Border Patrol and relentless Air Force jets, he must race through a moonlit desert to reach a hidden ranch before dawn. The looming threat of a secret nuclear test only heightens the stakes of his desperate flight.

While skimming the scattered lights below, he spots a strange steel tower that seems out of place, hinting at a far‑greater mystery beyond ordinary government pursuits. The tower’s alien geometry suggests an ancient citadel hidden in the desert, pulling the pilot toward an encounter with forces far beyond human comprehension. This opening chase sets the stage for a cosmic adventure that will test his courage and ingenuity.
