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.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Incredibly racist; utter claptrap!!!
This episode was originally pulled out of syndication for years, and it's easy to see/hear why. A second-generation Japanese American confesses that his father was a traitor and guided the attacking Japanese planes at Pearl Harbor. Then the kid uses a samurai sword to kill an ex-Marine whose lawn he was hired to trim! OMG. More justification to hate and distrust Asians. Like there isn't enough paranoia to go around already?
It has been proven time and again, that not a single act of sabotage was ever carried out by a Japanese American during WWII. In fact, there was an all Japanese American 442nd Regiment which fought Germans and which remains the most decorated unit in US history.
This show could've been a wonderful opportunity to right some terrible misconceptions, instead it only reinforces prejudice and ignorance.
Shame on Rod Serling for concocting this hateful portrayal. Even more shame on Twilight Zone Radio for re-enacting it and on Byron Mann (an Asian actor) for voicing the role. Byron -- what were you thinking??? BTW, the original role was played by George Takei, who no doubt prefers not to be reminded of it.
Audible.com -- you need to take this audio down!

Thoroughly unenjoyable.
Story is just plan bad. Someone should have seen it by just reading the script. Hard to think why this episode got made. A bit of "Twilight Zone creepiness" at the end does not save it. I'd give this one a miss.
