Description

On the barren, magnet‑charged asteroid Echo, Earthman Neal Bormon finds himself enslaved by the Martians, forced to haul heavy baskets of glittering rhodium through a silent, air‑thin landscape. The planet’s strange pull holds his iron‑capped boots to the rocky walls, while a distant, ominous chasm houses a massive, enigmatic ore‑consuming machine. Bormon’s daily struggle is a race against a dwindling oxygen supply and the relentless demands of his alien overseers.

Driven by the disappearance of his friend Keith Calbur, Bormon pushes beyond the grinding labor, following faint clues through the eerie, sound‑less halls of the mining complex. As he drags his loaded basket toward the yawning abyss, the glow of the machinery grows brighter, hinting at secrets buried deep within the asteroid’s core. The tension of survival and the mystery of the Martian operation combine to create a gripping, atmospheric sci‑fi adventure that pulls listeners into a world where every breath counts.
