Traitor’s Choice by Paul W. Fairman
5/7/202625 min
A man is forced to choose between the safety of one life and the fate of an entire world—and every second he delays tightens the grip on both. When he agrees to betray everything he’s sworn to protect, the only question left is whether he’s truly given in… or setting something far more dangerous in motion. Traitor’s Choice by Paul W. Fairman. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
