Description

A once‑glittering empire of interplanetary travel now trembles under a mysterious green menace that has reduced entire space‑liners to ghostly wrecks. Onboard the massive liner Jupiter, historian Norman Saint Clair clutches his mandatory identity dossier while the ship prepares for a perilous acceleration that may be his last chance to escape the encroaching terror. Around him, a stoic guard detail and a striking, enigmatic passenger share uneasy glances, hinting at hidden motives and the fragile trust that binds strangers in crisis.

The story follows Norman’s reluctant journey from the quiet safety of his academic life to the volatile frontier of deep space, where every rumble of the engines feels like a warning. As the vessel hurtles toward an uncertain horizon, the crew and passengers confront a silence broken only by the ominous hum of unseen forces. Listeners are drawn into a tense, atmospheric tableau where humanity’s survival hinges on a handful of fragile decisions.
