Earth is overcrowded and conformist. On the Asteroid Habitat called Wladfa, a group of idealists seek to find a better, more human way to live.

But to make that vision work compromises have to be made, and some do not share the vision.

The author's note:
We're Levenshulme Players, an amateur dramatic society in Manchester, UK, who've discovered that radio drama is just as much fun as stage productions. We've long been fans of whodunits like Agatha Christie and thrillers like Paul Temple, so we've produced our own crime thrillers with a modern twist.

  • Thanks Rick, but to tell you the truth amateur stuff always sounds just like it's called.

    • Some does and some doesn't to me.  There are some that are sold for high prices that sound worse than some amateur stuff.  I guess it is just how your ears are tuned.  LOL  -------------------------  R
