Murder, betrayal, the fate of humanity . . . It's all in a day's work for Jim Meade, the Martian P.I.

It's a dark time for Jim Meade. Ensnared by depression, the Martian P.I. spends the majority of his time and money at the poker tables, gambling what little he has left while drinking every last drop of alcohol he can get his hands on.

Until his oldest friend and mentor, Kansas Greyborn, comes to him with shocking news: Intelligent life has been discovered at a remote outpost deep in the Martian Outback and the scientists who made the discovery have disappeared. Intrigued by the case, Meade agrees to 'unretire' and investigate what happened to the two missing men.

Meade quickly discovers the case is far more twisted than he expected and that he's become caught up within a secret conspiracy. Someone is intent on allowing a fascist dictatorship to take over the fledgling Martian democracy.

Now, he must battle his demons while struggling to save the city he loves before life on Mars becomes a deadly proposition for everyone who calls the Red Planet home.
