'Lance Garrith, star reporter for the Solar News, came to Mars for the scoop of a lifetime: evidence of a visitor from beyond the stars. But a Martian colony can be a dangerous place. Lance is watched, followed ... and nearly killed. Something on Mars doesn't want to be found. Something not quite human...' (Back cover)
