Phantom Out of Time

In a shattered solar system ruled by the iron‑fisted Graed Garroway, a handful of prisoners cling to a desperate hope. Dirk Morris, a legend thought dead, stands beside his allies—Neil Hardesty, the steadfast Earthman, and the towering Venusian Vurrth—while they face the brutal machinery of a tyrant who claims the entire Union as his domain. Their confinement is a crucible for a secret they carry: the unfinished work of the late Dr. Townsend, a device capable of erasing matter itself.

The rebels must decide whether to sacrifice one life to buy the others a chance to spread the spark of resistance. As Garroway’s guards press in, tense words and whispered plans echo through the cold cell, hinting at a betrayal that could turn the tide. Listeners are drawn into a tense, high‑stakes battle where loyalty, courage, and the promise of a future free from oppression hang in the balance.
