About This Book

The narrative centers on a royal woman whose refusal of an aggressive suitor prompts intervention by a heroic outsider, a rescue that exposes fragile peace between rival Martian city-states. What follows is a sequence of betrayals, captures, and daring recoveries that lead the protagonists through deserts, ruined cities, and encounters with strange peoples and monstrous white apes. Duels, strategic gambits, and personal sacrifices culminate in pitched battles that test loyalties and courage, while explorations of honor, love, and cultural custom shape the characters' choices.
