The Hole in the Sky

Description

Roger Thorp, who makes a living flying illegal goods to distant planets, reluctantly agrees to take a cargo of women’s cosmetics (considered contraband) to the planet Bacchus. To reach Bacchus in the required six days means flying through the dreaded hole in the sky, something like the Bermuda Triangle back on Earth. Thorp has been through it once before and is almost certain no one can make it twice.

Forced to take on a job smuggling contraband, an ace pilot must take a short-cut through a dangerous wormhole to get to his destination on schedule.

A top pilot gets stuck with a job moving illegal goods and has to fly through a deadly space tunnel to make it there on time.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
