WORLD BEYOND PLUTO - A "Johnny Mayhem" Adventure - By C. H. THAMES - ILLUSTRATOR NOVICK
Mayhem was blocked. The gun was useless.
Johnny Mayhem is back, and this time his adventures take him to the bustling moon of Triton, a glittering hub of space traffic under a glass dome. While the night crew loads everything from mining gear to a delicate all‑girl symphony, the atmosphere hums with the promise of danger and intrigue. The cramped blastways and neon‑lit docks set the stage for a tale where even a simple loading shift can become a catalyst for chaos.
When the ancient prison‑break bell tolls for the first time in a decade, the mood flips from routine to frantic. Pitchblend Hardesty, the wiry foreman with surprising strength, scrambles to secure a departing ship before a desperate escapee, House Bartock, can slip away. As the clock ticks and the symphony rehearses obliviously, Johnny Mayhem must navigate a maze of conspiracies, armed fugitives, and a city on the brink of panic—setting the scene for a high‑octane chase across the outer reaches of the solar system.
