Jagger is a man who is to be hanged after being wrongfully convicted of killing a bigot in self defense. On the day of his execution, the sun does not rise in the morning. There is also still some dispute as to whether or not Jagger is guilty. However, Jagger is hanged anyway, much to the delight of the town.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Mike Starr is great
I’ve heard two other episodes by Mike Starr and this is one of his best performances. Very go narration and storyline. Though it took me about 10 minutes to get into it. Highly recommended.

Story is made for Audio
While some of the Twilight Zone series may not translate well to audio, this one is made for it.

A luddite nightmare.
A nightmarish episode about a machine hating writer. A tad one dimensional perhaps, but effective. Mike Starr does a good job as the increasingly frantic lead.

Not Good.
I really like Mike Starr as an actor, but this radio drama is a low point for him...
As I listened to this episode of The Twilight Zone radio series, it almost seemed like even the people acting in the drama knew that what they were making wasn't very good.
For the most part, TZ plots are clever and well thought out. This story was neither.
If I had to sum this story up in one word, it would be "Bad".
Do yourself a favor & pass on this one.
3.40 / 10.00
