About This Book

A Mars patrolman survives a rocket crash into an underground cavern and discovers a miniature, cloud-enshrouded world tucked within the rock. Exploring its vast inner voids and the divided green and blasted hemispheres, he confronts outlaw flyers and secret water hoards, navigates perilous tunnels, and allies with a slim girl and an old warrior to secure life-sustaining water. The story combines fast-paced pulp adventure with themes of survival, resource scarcity, and the effort to rejuvenate a dying planet.
