Indiana James

Catalog Description "Ayer, hoy y mañana" (Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow) is a Spanish-language adventure story featuring Indiana James, a roguish protagonist stranded at Sydney airport with twelve hours to leave Australia. Broke from a losing poker game, James accepts a lucrative but suspicious piloting job from a young couple, John and Mary Smith, to fly their Cessna 1959 across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand. The pair claim to be farmers but display suspicious characteristics—perfect English without accent, impeccable but outdated clothing, and evasiveness about their cargo. During the flight over New Zealand's Southern Alps, the aircraft encounters dozens of luminous orange spheres that assume control of the plane, pulling it downward. The Smiths respond with apparent recognition, donning strange backpack apparatus and preparing to jump from the aircraft—actions James finds inexplicable. The narrative combines espionage thriller elements with science fiction contact imagery, leaving the protagonist's fate ambiguous as the serialized story concludes mid-crisis.
