description: A dying planet dried up and hostile -- a planet of countless years and countless mysteries. When the Terrans came they found a world of dead sea-bottoms lost civilizations and secretive tribes bitterly resenting the intrusion of the Terrans on the fading glory of an ancient planet. The Earthmen looked down upon the crumbling ruins of a brilliant culture and laughed at the stories of invincible gods and forgotten magic lingering in the forbidden cities of Jekkara Barrakesh Valkis ...But the dangers were real--and only a few renegade Earth-born adventurers who had adopted the Martian way of life could understand the planet-wide disaster that was building up.
