Slay-Ride: A Crime That Space Refuses to Ignore

A routine job turns into something far more dangerous when a confident professional believes he has accounted for every variable. Alone aboard a silent spacecraft, one man discovers that technology does not forgive ignorance, and preparation does not guarantee control. What follows is not a chase or a shootout, but a tightening psychological vise, where physics, biology, and human error collide in terrifying isolation.

Slay-Ride is a masterclass in tension built from inevitability. The story strips away heroics and leaves only consequence. Each decision compounds the last, and the emptiness of space becomes an unforgiving judge. Winston Marks transforms a closed environment into a pressure chamber, forcing the listener to confront how thin the margin truly is between mastery and catastrophe.

Winston Marks was one of mid-century science fiction’s sharpest craftsmen, known for stories that hinge on logic, systems, and the human tendency to misunderstand them. His work often explores what happens when confidence outruns comprehension. In Slay-Ride, Marks delivers a tightly engineered narrative where the science is not decoration—it is the trap.
