The prince of space

In the glittering streets of 2131 New York, a hard‑headed reporter darts between moving walkways and humming heli‑cars, eager to deliver the latest scoop. The city hums with magnetic newsfeeds, while humanity’s reach now stretches to lunar resorts and sun‑driven starships. Our narrator, a ten‑year veteran of the Herald‑Sun, records every pulse of panic and intrigue that ripples through society when a tragedy rocks the interplanetary lanes.

A massive sunship, the Helicon, drifts dead and broken two thousand miles from the Moon, its crew and passengers torn apart in a brutal attack. The carnage points to the infamous outlaw known only as the Prince of Space, whose signature raids on vitalium cargo have made him a legend of fear. With a bounty soaring to ten million eagles, every faction—from lunar mining syndicates to interstellar police—hunts the mercurial pirate. As the reporter pieces together eyewitness accounts and official bulletins, the listener is drawn into a high‑tech chase where daring, danger, and the promise of untold riches collide.
