Revision as of 17:35, 30 January 2023
Paradise Frost was the fifty-ninth Bernice Summerfield audio story released by Big Finish Productions. It was the third story of the Road Trip series.
Publisher's summary
Kaff Zarnak was once the holiday destination of choice for the rich and famous. At least, it was until the planet spun off its axis, and a deadly virus wiped out its population.
Now it's absolutely the last place anyone wants to visit: a barren, ice-encrusted wasteland, sitting amongst the stars. So when Bernice, Ruth and their loud-mouthed cab driver Ray are drawn off course, it's fair to say that they've all had better days.
Taking refuge inside the Xanadu Tower resort, the trio encounter Kaff Zarnak's only survivors... and maybe the only remaining clue to what took place there. But supplies are low, Sandroaches are attacking on every side, and the only hope of their survival seems to be locked at the top of the Tower.
Perhaps there's a reason what happens on Kaff Zarnak stays on Kaff Zarnak...
Plot
After being kicked off of the medical ship because of Benny arguing with a robot whilst drunk on mescal, Benny and Ruth continue their journey to Legion with Ray, a taxi driver. The taxi is pulled to Kaff Zarnak by a tractor beam and explodes because of the damage, after which Benny, Ruth and Ray find sanctuary from a sand roach in Xanadu Tower. Physicist Dr Carol Bauer and Yukon 9, a Killoran, explain that they have been stuck in the tower for years, under siege from the sand roaches, and brought Ray's taxi down in the hope that they could escape with them.
Kaff Zarnak was once a tropical planet, but the largest moon of the neighbouring planet was knocked out of its orbit and pulled Kaff Zarnak away from the sun and it is now freezing. Dr Jared Jones, genetic engineer and founder of J-Netics Industries, closed the resort when a virus spread around Xanadu Tower, killing a hundred thousand people and leaving only Carol, Yukon and, possibly, Dr Jones himself. Dr Jones's apartment is at the top of the tower and is the location of the tower's sole shuttle.
