Spies Die Hard!
SPIES DIE HARD!
On Mars, espionage is a deadly business, and the Security Police have put a ten-thousand-credit price on Harry Horn, a former officer accused of spying for Earth. Desperate and bruised, Horn appears at the apartment of Lynn Brickel, a covert operative with a reputation for helping agents escape the planet.
Lynn agrees to find him a small, fast spacecraft—but only after nightfall, when the risks are lower. As Horn tries to learn what she knows about earlier escapes, Lynn realizes that his story may conceal a dangerous trap. With the ruthless Security Chief Lazar closing in, she must decide whom to trust, how much to reveal, and whether her own training is enough to keep her alive. This tense science-fiction thriller plunges listeners into a world of hidden loyalties, interplanetary pursuit, and betrayals that can turn an ally into a target in an instant.
