Dread-Flame of M'Tonak

Ketrig, a lone renegade from the distant world of Perlac, hurtles toward Earth with a stolen prototype that could tip the balance of power in the Solar Federation. The planet’s Council, already on edge after a recent clash near Jupiter, watches his approach with suspicion, ready to seize the fugitive and his coveted technology.

As he lands amid a crowd of armed guards, Ketrig must decide whether to trust the enigmatic Mark Travers, whose urgent summons hint at a deeper conspiracy, or to use his own cunning to escape. The stakes rise quickly, pitting his own survival against the looming threat of a mysterious, thought‑born flame that has already found a willing host in the solar warp. Listeners are drawn into a tense first act where political intrigue, high‑speed chases, and a dangerous unknown collide, setting the stage for a high‑octane interplanetary showdown.
