About this listen

 In Operation Cochise, a meticulously orchestrated Western initiative aims to colonize a distant planet before the Reds can stake their claim. Travis Fox eagerly volunteered for this mission, but as he emerged half-conscious from the wreckage of his spaceship on the mysterious planet Topaz, he was immediately struck by an overwhelming sense of dread. The circumstances surrounding the crash, along with the inexplicable control of the Redax machine that had reverted him and his fellow Apache agents to a primal state, remained a mystery. Yet, the perils awaiting them on Topaz were palpable. Travis soon came to understand that if the Reds‚Aîbarbaric Mongols under the sway of their masters‚Aîdiscovered the secrets hidden within the eerie underground chambers of the mist-shrouded towers, it would spell doom not only for Topaz but for Terra itself.Copyright Science Fiction Collection Political Science Politics & Government Science Fiction
