The Nobles Are Coming
Stranded on Mars after his ground car breaks down, archeologist Ross faces a long, perilous journey back to Marsport on foot. Seeking shelter from the alien night, he discovers a cave already occupied by J. J. Abrogado, a frightened prospector with an unsettling warning: the mysterious Nobles may be near.
No one has captured a Noble alive, but stories describe them as towering, regal beings who move with eerie grace—and leave behind victims horribly altered or missing altogether. As the distant nightrunners draw closer and the cave itself begins to tremble, Ross and Abrogado share what little they know about the creatures haunting the rust-red hills.
Blending science fiction with atmospheric horror, this suspenseful tale builds its menace through whispered rumors, deepening darkness, and the terrifying possibility that something is approaching just beyond sight. For listeners who enjoy classic tales of alien danger and psychological dread, the journey into the Martian night promises chills without easy answers.
