An Earthman is mysteriously transported to Mars and awakens amid alien societies, where he becomes caught up with a brilliant but amoral scientist who performs brain transplants and abuses stolen bodies. The protagonist allies with local friends, uncovers the surgeon’s cruel schemes, and pursues escapes, rescues, and confrontations across Martian cities and skies.
