In 1889, the ether ship Perbindesh approaches the red planet, her passengers an assembly of the great and the good. Skerrun, a Martian princeling, returning from a sojourn on Earth; Henry Routledge, the new governor of the British colony. Professor Golightly, a renowned authority on the red planet. But everyone has a secret. The Perbindesh carries a cargo of conspiracy and intrigue. And not all aboard will live to see Mars… The game's afoot, and it is the greatest game of all! Everything Jules Verne should have written. Everything H.G. Wells could have written. Everything Arthur Conan Doyle thought of, but never published - because it was too fantastic.
