The World in Peril: Charles Chilton’s classic science-fiction trilogy stormed the BBC airwaves during the 1950s. Its gripping story lines, extra-terrestrial sound effects, and atmospheric music engaged the listener as never before. Between 1953 and 1958, a devoted audience of adults and children attentively followed Captain Jet Morgan and his crew from one cliff-hanger to another as, together, they faced the unknown perils of space.
In this epic concluding series, Captain Jet Morgan, Doc Matthews, engineer Mitch Mitchell, and radio operator Lemmy Barnet once more set out for Mars, but this time alone. Their orders: to discover all they can about the threatened Martian invasion of Britain. Jet and his comrades are stretched to their limits as they taken on the awesome Martian power. When they learn the astounding secret of the invasion plan, there is a race against time to warn a defenceless Earth. This is the complete The World in Peril series.
The Return from Mars: A spacecraft called Discovery returns from an expedition to Mars 40 years later than expected.
Frozen in time: The crew of the spacecraft Ares awake from suspended animation in 2013 to find themselves unwittingly caught up in a seismic deception. At stake is not only their own lives but also the very future of the planet Earth.
The Host: After receiving a distress call from an abandoned freighter, Jet Morgan and his crew must find a way to defeat the vastly superior Host. If they fail, they will not only all perish, but mankind will become a dispensable stepping stone to a new chapter in evolution.
