Description

Ed Garth is a washed‑up Earthman stranded on Ganymede, drowning his debts in cheap, rotgut liquor and owing favors to a three‑eyed native trader. He’s approached by a stoic man and a hesitant woman who need a guide to the forbidden ruins of the ancient city Chahnn. The promise he once made to a lost love pushes him to accept the dangerous job despite the odds.

The journey will plunge him into a hostile jungle, past the deathless guardians that protect the tomb‑city, and force him to confront his own past. Along the way, the alien landscape and its three‑eyed natives test his wits and courage. Listeners will be drawn into a tense, noir‑flavored adventure where survival hinges on broken vows and the mystery of a promise kept. The eerie glow of ancient technology and the ever‑watchful eyes of the guardians create tension that never lets the listener relax.
