Appaloosa Radio offers the City of 4000 Spies science fiction series featuring Noble Son Dusko Rarrko, the director of undercover clandestine information gathering activities and espionage for the tiny (but extremely resource rich) Dominion of Sassko.

The Dominion or sassko is frequently pitted against the two principal powers, the militaristic Empire Sha Yot and the venerable Kingdom of Gje To maintain its independence, Sassko remains avowedly neutral, while actively gathering information and covertly acting on its own national interests.

Much of the action in this series occurs in the non-aligned resort city of Lell, just a few sectors from the Dominion of Sassko.

Lell, where every recreational opportunity, drug, potion, or experience is just a click away, efficiently delivered to your luxury suite and (of course) charged directly to your account.

On the tour boats, the guides tell of the Lake of Many Colors, where a 100 million fragments merge and re-merge into billions and billions of patterns. One can spend multiple lifetimes watching its fantastic, ever-swirling waves and never (not even once) see a representation repeated.

But to those in the know, Lell is a very different kind of place.

“Believe me, no one comes to Lell to watch the Lake. No, Lell is an international city where guests from a million different sectors are fully welcomed (as long as their cash holds out). It is where one comes to mine the most precious mineral of all, the mineral of information. They say that the resort city of Lell has over 4,000 spies. That’s not counting the taxi drivers, the hotel staff, the Farqat dealers in the casino, the Unie barkeepers, the Antonine fortune-tellers, and the ever-present Koopsie girls, any one of whom will gladly gather whatever information that is requested, for a sizable tip.”

“Lell is where information is acquired, bartered, stolen, resold, confirmed, and falsified. Rumors, rumors about rumors, and the possibility of even more rumors fill the luxury suites with spies of every shape, size, language family, and quadrant of origin.”

It happened in Fort Worth, Texas in the summer of 1928. It could not have happened anywhere else. It could not have happened at another time. No one else could have done it.

A cigar salesman with a rich baritone voice, a barber who was also the best fiddle player in Texas, and a fifteen-year-old waitress who loved to dance.

Together, they created a style of music that still exists today. A style of music that is now the official music style  for the state of Texas. Some called it Texas Swing. Most people just called it dance music.

They were Milt Brown, Mollie Perkins, and Jim-Bob Wills.

This is Mollie’s story.
