Renegades of Mars - Paperback

by Todd Downing (Author)

RED PLANET PERIL!

Mars, 1936. The Jazz Age meets the Space Age. The planets of the inner solar system have been colonized using the special properties of Tri-Crystals to power rockets, rayguns, and much more.

When some artificial-and highly unstable-crystal appears on the Martian black market, indigenous A.E.G.I.S. officer Sinari Vohn is plucked from the ranks to investigate.

And her first command may well be her last.

With a handpicked team consisting of a Terran criminal, a Venusian mob enforcer, a gorilla scientist, and an alien robot, she must solve the mystery of the volatile crystals, and face a sinister new player on the alien frontier: the Third Reich!

Set in the world of the Airship Daedalus series and AEGIS Tales anthologies, Renegades of Mars is the first in a new raypunk saga from the author of Calico Kids, Sakuru, and The Parish. It's a rip-roaring sci-fi adventure full of pulpy action, mystery, and a touch of romance, hurtling toward an alternate second World War that will be fought not only on Earth, but in space.
