Story
Three U.S. astronauts blast off from Earth on an initial test flight in an experimental rocket-ship, but during the flight into space the ship disappears from radar, then reappears. On return, the rocket-ship is hangared and put under a tarp, pending an investigation. One crewman is hospitalized for a leg broken on landing, and is visited by the other two. Next the pair go for a drink, and then one crewman phones his parents from a bar phone-booth - but they say they have no son!

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Audio Version of Classic Episode
This review is for the Twilight Zone audio drama. It is difficult to recreate the classic episode, since the visual reference makes it stand out. I thought they did a good job on this one, I enjoyed the pilot trying to calm him claiming they knew all about it. John Schneider was wonderful and they had a great cast.

Agree with Duck, with Exception
It is not like this is expensive. I agree that this does not work as well on radio and certainly can not compete with William Shatner or John Lithgow, but it is not a waste of money. It was entertaining and just hearing Stacy Keach is worth a dollar.

Great story. Does not work well as a radio drama.
A very visual story. Sadly as such it doesn't transfer well at all to the radio/audio format. Too bad, since this really is a great story filled with that spooky T Z feeling.
If you've seen the original episode with William Shatner, or even the Twilight Zone Movie segment with John Lithgow, do yourself a favor and skip this one.
John Schneider does what he can, but comes nowhere near Shatner's or Lithgow's performances. Actually he sounds more nervous than a man in terror stricken panic.
