The brutal mafia of Markus Larton holds the anarchic Kingdom of Sandrid in its totalitarian grip. There's only one person left to oppose the mobster's power, prince turned criminal-vigilante, Astill Chrone. Though reluctant to go after the man who killed his father, the prince is not one to step away from a fight when his friends are in danger. As a powerful sandstorm envelopes the Martian kingdom, the populace holds its breath, waiting to see which man comes out on top. Mars has become a world where robots and clergy debate philosophy, mobsters and royalty contend for power, while super-corporations headed by megalomaniacs pull the strings of nations and sway the solar system to their whim. No one is safe from finding themselves at the end of a Darwinian death on this world. And when the dust winds blow on the Planet of War, only the strong will survive, while the weak fade into history.
