Red Harvest on Mars

On the planet Mars, Clay Cash confronts the greatest moral challenge he’s ever faced, and it almost breaks him. Cash travels to the frontier mining town of Personville to meet a client—but he’s dead. Not one to give up, the private detective vows to find his killer.

As the Continental Op is investigating, he meets the dead man’s father, Elihu Willsson. The ruthless town-founder offers to double Cash’s fee if he’ll clean up the corrupt city too. Cash agrees, but only on his terms.

This is no ordinary case for the detective. He faces a domed city as hostile as the Mars desert that surrounds it. No one cares. He finds his client’s killer, but then realizes the town is utterly corrupt. No one gets justice here. The odds of him cleaning up this filthy society seem impossible, because even the cops are crooked.

Desperate, Cash sparks a brutal gang war among the ruling crime bosses. He follows a harrowing path of death and destruction, all in an attempt at purifying the crime-infested city they call “Poisonville.”

Eric Loren’s futuristic adaptation of Dashiell Hammett’s original hard-boiled detective novel is enthralling, filled with unrelenting violence, insatiable greed, and unexpected twists.

Don’t miss this sci-fi crime noir tale of manipulation and betrayal, where the Continental Op must survive a wave of assassinations and frame-ups to bring a bloody harvest to the red planet.
