But people who invest quickly realize that once you’re in, it’s something else entirely: a game of thievery, skullduggery, and outright bravery—but only by some. A planet populated entirely by mechanical rovers, but full of monsters, just the same. Monsters born from human malice, desperation, greed. Welcome to the world of Helen of Mars, tales of a not-too-distant future where the strong prey on the weak, and heroes are forged on the dusty surface of the Red Planet.

She always thought that Role Playing Games were safe. Until she ran into one that wasn’t. Helen Hunter isn’t anything special. Just a techie teenager who likes to play online games, build custom robots, and test her skills in the occasional gaming competition. She definitely isn’t looking to do anything more than that.But when her mother falls ill, putting the entire family’s future at risk, she finds herself on a path that will take her beyond online games and into outer space. To Mars. There, a shady corporation called MARSCORP has a fleet of rovers mining ore on the Red Planet. Rovers controlled remotely by freelance operators on Earth. And her parents, desperate for the money to pay incoming medical bills, have just signed a contract for their own rover. Even worse, they’ve put everything on the line to cover the cost of it. The house. Their savings. Helen’s future.Suddenly Helen is thrust into a world she can only see on a computer screen—a real-life RPG. And a game where the stakes are a whole lot higher than just having to go back to the start. The mission: Find enough ore to pay off the contract. The danger: a band of thieves intent on taking everything she earns.Then she discovers that Mars is full of secrets. This is no simple mining operation. Someone else—someone who isn’t with MARSCORP—is gaming the system. Someone else is controlling those thieves.And they’re intent on destroying operators like her parents.Now in the fight of her life, she will learn just how dangerous some games can be… and how far some people will go to win.
