A veil of darkness is falling upon the Queen’s Imperium. As a frightening series of events start to unfold across the boundless reaches of the cosmos, none other than Queen Ophelia Droxine Oberon herself rockets off from Imperious Prime to investigate, accompanied by Captain Nix Orlan, long-time Aeronaut to the royal family. One by one, the stars are burning out. What will the Queen and her trusted wingman discover amid what is now the darkest quadrant of her very own galaxy? The rise of entropy. The dawn… of darkness.

Long Cold Night, a classic tale of maritime intrigue and adventure by author Allan Vaughan Elston, comes vividly to life, here on RJ Lonsdale’s Thin Air Podcast Anthology. Lost and run aground somewhere in the grim arctic darkness, all that remain of the whaling vessel Norwhaal’s crew are Cabin Boy David Jones and four prisoners that had been locked away in the ship’s brig, one of them twice a killer. Now they are marooned together on the ice, awaiting rescue. Can any one of them hope to survive through this seemingly endless nightfall with a murderer in their midst? 

The plot thickens. Thin Air Radio broadcast newsman Chet Huxley continues his “Travelogue to Invasion” just outside the odd little town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, that infamous point on his star map known in the annals of UFO folklore for a flap of flying saucer, men in black and, of course, legendary Mothman encounters. What will he discover about this insidious plot, here at one of the most notable sites in US history for paranormal activity? Tune in and find out for yourself as talk show host Clayton Lomax brings you the second installment in an ongoing investigation concerning the Star Petroleum Company and it’s clandestine attempt to take over the world.
