Description

Beyond the stars, an alien ship from Trygon II materializes over New York, delivering an ultimatum that leaves humanity scrambling. In the wake of the invasion, a hulking soldier named Ross Savage is seized, bandaged, and subjected to a grotesque operation that swaps his skin and features for those of a Trygonian, while a mysterious Ceregraph implants the knowledge of a fallen enemy officer.

Now clad in the gleaming uniform of his captors, Savage stands at a General’s desk, his mind a patchwork of human memory and alien expertise. He wrestles with the shock of his new visage and the promise of vengeance for his murdered parents, all while grappling with the unsettling fact that the procedure transferred skill but left his emotions untouched. Listeners are drawn into a tense, near‑future conflict where identity, loyalty, and the cost of survival collide in a world reshaped by an extraterrestrial conquest.

W. Bradford Martin
