About this audiobook
Aboard the interplanetary luxury cruiser Hyperion, disaster strikes without warning. A lethal gas attack drops the passengers, and the vessel is forcefully dragged off course by an invisible pirate fleet. Unbeknownst to the attackers, undercover Triplanetary Secret Service Agent Conway Costigan, veteran Captain Bradley, and the fierce passenger Clio Marsden have survived the ambush. Locked in a cloaked, impenetrable planetoid ruled by the sinister genius "Roger", the trio must plot a desperate escape.
But Earth's massed armadas and Roger's high-tech marauders are completely unaware of an even greater cosmic terror lurking in the void. From the depths of a distant blue-sunned world, the Nevians—giant, four-legged, amphibious scientists wielding god-like technology—have arrived in search of an invaluable resource: iron. To them, human fleets and pirate fortresses are nothing but raw metal to be melted down into slag!
Why you will love this audiobook: If you crave the adrenaline-fueled origins of Science Fiction, this is where the modern Space Opera was born!
