Captain Masters is on the move, September 1942, in the Pacific deep in enemy territory. These were desperate times needing desperate measures. Men were cast in the throes of battle against a very well trained and formidable opponent, hoping to come out alive. After an arduous bombing raid that dealt heavy losses, Masters and his two other pilots were on their way home. They found they had no place to go: their carrier was sunk. Thinking quickly, Captain Masters devises a plan to make a 1500 mile trek through enemy territory to Australia.

It was the year 1963 and a Martian space ship crash landed on Earth. The wreckage indicated that it had been in a battle. It also had the technical information and components needed for human hibernation in space. A recon mission was ordered to discover what threat these beings actually were. The men trained for years on the equipment developed to carry out the mission. A moon launch was used as a cover up for the Mars mission. Both were launched at exactly the same time. The recon team discovered a race of beings far worse than they originally thought they would encounter.
