The King's Subjects
Having managed to lose his crew within 24 hours of landing, the commander discovers a door in the ground. But what lies on the other side? Read by Peter Capaldi.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik we commissioned Nick Walker to write the sci-fi adventure 'The First King Of Mars'. Now in five, thrilling action-packed episodes we continue the story where it left off.
The commander makes a shocking discovery when he finds a door in an underground tunnel.

His plays and short stories are often featured on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 and 3 series of the late-night show The Bigger Issues. He is the author of two critically acclaimed novels Blackbox and Helloland, published in the UK, US, Australia, Japan and across Europe.
Performed by Peter Capaldi.
