RED ODYSSEY - complete series

The year is 1983. The threat of war simmers between the Soviet Union and the US. The moon watches the Earth like a slowly blinking eye, and within the black depths of the cosmos… something watches the moon. Cosmonaut Ilia Zakharov (award-winner PETER WICKS) sits in a dark room in the USSR; a broken man with the soul of a poet. He controls a lunar rover called FANTOM IX (ALLISON COSSITT), the newest model in a series of machines designed to explore the surface of the moon. Together they uncover secrets that could determine the fate of all life on Earth and form a bond that transcends space and barriers. East and West stand at the brink of nuclear war. And yet, something far, far worse is coming. Something the human race is not ready to greet. Something unknowable. Something malevolent.

Make no mistake, this eldritch horror story isn’t your usual sci-fi. Be prepared to be led on a journey where the stakes are larger than life itself. You’ll never look at the night sky the same again. And whatever you do—don’t let IT see you.
