The planet of peril

Robert Grandon is a privileged twenty‑two‑year‑old who spends his days drifting through opera performances and endless high‑society functions in Chicago. Beneath his polished exterior, he craves real danger, romance, and a chance to prove himself beyond the comforts of his aunt’s mansion. When a sudden fainting spell sends him spiraling out of the theatre, a charismatic stranger whisks him away in a sleek limousine.

He awakens in a stark, concrete room far from any familiar skyline, confronted by a towering doctor and the enigmatic Harry Thorne, who claim his abduction was far from random. Their unsettling hospitality hints at a larger, perhaps interplanetary, mission that could finally satisfy Grandon’s hunger for purpose. As the door closes behind him, listeners are drawn into a suspenseful journey where the line between rescue and experiment blurs.
