Incident at Switchpath | Theodore Sturgeon Sci-Fi - Beyond Tomorrow

He is accused of murder. His explanation begins with a machine hidden in a cave and something more frightening than the charge against him.

Incident at Switchpath turns a small-town inquiry into a science fiction mystery. A strange discovery appears to be recording events on Earth, raising questions about who built it, what it is observing and why anyone would need that record.

Based on a story by Theodore Sturgeon, this Beyond Tomorrow recording lets an apparently familiar legal investigation open into a much larger possibility. The man’s account is difficult to accept, but dismissing it may be dangerous.

Listen as testimony changes the scale of the mystery. This is a stand-alone story for listeners who enjoy first-contact speculation, unsettling technology and science fiction with a strong central question.
